A partnership between India and US is far from possible within this decade. We have too many conflicting views on how the world should be run. Iran, Myanmar and UNSC seat are the most crucial roadblocks to this "partnership." We have to continue building our navy and make the IONS stronger than...

My point is no one in my country is going to cower in front of an "accident" especially assuming it "May" happen in the "Future." It is coming..... is not an excuse. IN will never wait for an accident to sound the red alert. Most submarine accidents happened when there was little or no...

My best bet is USN have atleast 5 carriers in the IOR.

If we don't be hard on our people then they will commit the same mistakes. Do you know how much flak the Airforce has received after the Su-30 crash? It happened because the pilot accidentally turned off the fly by wire. Nobody gloats over accidents. They just happen. I did not claim we...

They have a market capitalization that Indian companies cannot hope to enjoy. The Japanese, SK companies control a large stake in American and European markets along with their own. And they did wonders in the 60s and 70s. Now, the growth in Japan and SK has saturated. That's why their high...

That's almost the entire USN. Yusuf particularly asked about USN presence in the IOR. USN operates carriers in the Pacific, Atlantic, Mediterranean and the Arctic. I doubt USN operates 11 ACs and 10 LHDs in the IOR.

I guess this is the reason we are being pushed into the south China Sea.:D That's also a reason why India does not allow US, UK, China, Russia etc to join the IONS.

They are human too and rely on assumptions when it comes to another Navy. They know what their Navy can do and assume what the others can do. Nevertheless, nobody can actually pinpoint the exact capabilities of another force unless you actually see them in action. Wrong! Prevention is better...

We are still relying on way too much assumption and speculation. Assuming we make the same mistakes that are already made by other Navies and also other navies assuming we have to make the same mistakes to be more professional is hubris in my view. Submarines come with their own shares of...

I understand. What you say makes sense? It took the death of friends to make others understand the value of diving driving slowly and carefully. I beg to differ on this view. It may take an accident to reinforce your belief. But, in my view, 40 years of operating submarines without losing...

Sir, it takes an accident to call yourself stupid in the first place. IN has never had a major sub accident since subs were inducted in 1973.

Ok. My bad the version used on the F-16 is Mechanically Steered. But, I was talking about the electronically scanned version on the B-1 Bomber which is a variant of the APG-66..... AN/APQ-164 / AN/APG-164 Now, let me explain the difference between a radar and an antenna. Zaslon radar -...

The radar follows the principle of doppler effect while the antenna may be a planar array or a phased array. They are 2 totally different systems, the radar and the antenna with different control surfaces. All AESAs, PESAs are Pulse Doppler Radars. Doppler effect - Wikipedia, the free...

I was the first one to post that blog and have already commented on it. http://www.defenceforum.in/forum/32092-post326.html So peace out. J-10 will not get the AESA. What you posted is a blog site and not "expert analysis." Everybody knows J-10 will get a PESA. If an AESA is coming...

The MKIs use BARS and not IRBIS. The IRBIS will need new engines. The current engines are sufficient for BARS. The new engines will be used for the IRBIS. The Chinese don't have an AESA as of now. The best estimates are a PESA for the J-10. Maybe in the future when the J-10 goes for MLUs or a...

The author is talking about the Irbis. It's true that even our current MKI engines can barely power this monster. That's why the MKI will soon be getting a new uprated engine(from 131 to 137KN) that's being manufactured in India. We need the new Al-31FM at 137KN. The current Su-30MKK and...

Like I said, the dollar rupee exchange rate makes the difference. 1$= 6 Yuan whereas 1$-Rs 48. Notice the huge difference. Also, the Indian companies are humongous even after coming from a country where the market is not as well developed as China, Europe or US.

I said Israel built 2 radars in India and not fab plants. We built the fab plants to suit our needs. We have had fab plants since decades churning out military grade transistors since a long time. OMG So what. We wouldn't have had a space program and an aerospace program if we did not have...

The key components are being made in India for the Swordfish. That's why we have a BMD system based on it. We have Fab plants. You are talking about Processor plants that need huge investment. Transistor plants are different and there are many in India. My college lecturer was working in an...
