    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    Re: Tender for T-90S Tank Ammunition Duh! Obvious. C-17s for $400million, USAF buys for $200Million. 200%. FMS sales cannot even be negotiated. They will offer and you can only say yes or no. Israeli officials have openly said they are selling at very high costs to India. At the same time...

    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    Re: Tender for T-90S Tank Ammunition I don't think that is true. Instead you can say source code ToT was delayed rather than denied. Indian ammo was destroyed in 2006 after tests. Wouldn't have happened had we not had access to the source codes. Remember I told Russia modified laws only in...

    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    Nope. All cleared. The 170 tanks produced are all mostly after the ToT was completed. SKD and CKD assembly was finished a long time ago, like years ago. The 170 are from the first lot of the 300 odd tanks ordered by IA from the 1000 tank license. Ajai Shukla already reported this. We...

    It cannot be helped if the company has pure monopoly over something so critical. It is so stupid that we don't have an equivalent shell for replacement. Only companies proven to be corrupt are blacklisted. The Russian company is selling their wares at a cost which is not acceptable, but there...

    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    The argument was that the Sevmash and Indian authorities failed at even contemplating the scale of the project. The project had no competition and who would they bribe. They knew India will buy the carrier anyway. Also a little while later the costs escalated once IN asked for much superior...

    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    There was no shortage. Bad design meant the shells had to be destroyed and reordered. The second lot of orders haven't come through because the company which sold us the penetrators has been blacklisted. Who's gonna roll who's head? Status Quo will be maintained. Probably some General who...

    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    Did you forget, Indian industry is infallible? No one can sue DRDO, NAL, HAL, OFB etc over decade long delays and major manufacturing defects. If you do sue them then you are not a true Indian. You are just sold to some Russian company with a bottle of Vodka and Natasha. This was explained in...

    Indian Tank Ammunition Scenario

    Thousands of AMK-40 shells were destroyed because they were freezing in barrels when fired. It killed crews in T-72s. A new requirement was placed in 2010 but not much progress has been made. Looking at the article I am guessing MoD is taking it's own sweet time at making this decision. Don't...
