    Lead is not hard but is still used for bullets. But, will you use lead for armour in bullet proof vests? Same way, DU is not hard enough for its weight. Please note this -WEIGHT. DU has high density and is harder than lead. DU is harder than normal steel and titanium. But, DU is too heavy. It is...

    Do you know what you are saying? Depleted Uranium can't be made into armour but only bullet or shells. It is heavy and incendiary but not explosive or tough. Only a moron uses DU as armour. May be you want to kill yourself and hence want to use it when you are going to battelefield. But not...

    Urban warfare means missiles, bombs and nukes. This is to be followed by 1 crore artillery shells to level everything.

    DU is non radioactive. It is a heavy metal and poisonous like Arsenic, Lead, mercury etc. It should not be inhaled as fine dusts or oxidised uranium smoke. Abrams weigh 70 tons fully loaded. They are simply too big and thick from the front. They are, however unfit for himalayas or mountainous...

    Depleted Uranium is too heavy and provides significantly less protection than steel of same weight. Depleted Uranium is dense and hence provides better protection per inch thickness. However, since the weight increases significantly (if 100kg if steel is needed, 150+ kg of DU is needed for same...

    That is a bad decision. It was ordered along with S400 and Kamov helicopter order. The S400 and Kamov 226T is understandable. I am not able to Understand the logic behind T90 acquisition

    As I said, having budget without technology means we will be importing 20 billion dollars of that 60 billion dollars. We have to first develop our own technology and then manufacture en masse. Till we have technology like bharat pack, buying tanks must be slowly ordered. Till we have AESA...

    Modi will not import anything without ToT. Be assured. But, I don't see the need for urgency in tank acquisition. We need to wait till we get bharat pack. Why waste even 20% in forex? Till then, what we can do here indigenously, we will do only those in large quantities. Also, Indian budget is...

    First, I don't think Turkish ones are better than Russian. Turkey is not good in defence manufacturing. Next, I don't think there is enough budget to buy everything now. Many things are left pending. It is better to make as much indigenous technology as possible with minimal manufacturing to...

    It is strange that no one mentions eastern front (Bangladesh). The only 2 front war that I can see is with Pakistan and Bangladesh. China is really not a threat. China will have hard time maintaining Tibet once petroleum runs dry. Capturing Arunachal is even more difficult for the same reasons...

    According to his plans, foreign manufacturers will just sell 'their design' along with the IP rights to india while India will simply manufacture. Since they are ready to sell tanks, which can be reverse engineered, why not sell the design itself is the question.

    Autoloader is bad for business. A small jam due to denting caused by enemy hit or change of ammunition is difficult. For better control and war time easy repair and reload, manual loading is the way to go

    Why can't Indian tank be downgraded in armour to make it 50 tons? It is not that India can't make lightly armoured tanks. Don't these people even have brains to think of designing?

    It is better to make the technology for 100% indigenous production and wait for orders. The reason why orders shouldn't be given now is that Indian budget is limited. And a balance between economy and defence has to be maintained. So, funding infrastructure projects etc are more important for...

    What we will do if war starts? War has already started. There has never been peace for long time. We already have decent technology and MIC as of now and are well capable of hurrying up things if needed. There is however a need to balance the future economy growth and sustenance and defence...

    China was communist and hence US was against it. India, on the other hand was a banana republic and hence USA supplies it to keep it that way. If Indians feel the heat, it will radicalise Indians and India will no longer be banana republic. USA gave food in 1966-1967 famine for India, thereby...

    How guaranteed is it that FRCV will be bought by India? Will MoD just sit and listen? Or will it simply end up like FGFA? The way I see it, we are only asking for ToT and all manufacturing will be Indian. This is highly unlikely by anyone. And even if ToT is agreed, it will be priced too high...

    What is the strategy here? Can you take a guess? What is so futuristic of armata? How will it shatter pakistan morale? In what way is Arjun inferior to Armata? Which technology does India lack to prevent indigenisation? It is just a matter of orders. We need large orders to make it worth the...
