Balakot was a surgical strike, not a war. In this case, we just calculated in current scenario, India has much higher strength than Pakistan and can crush Pakistan, even though some losses were expected. But the objectives were only limited in nature. And it was noted that Pakistan also had...

So, according to you conflict happens all of a sudden within a few weeks? It takes months and one can notice the enemy preparing for war. Also, the short limited war is just skirmish. We don't prepare extensively for skirmishes. They are just tactical ploys, not strategic measure

No submarines have been tested go beyond 500 meter depth. I don't think torpedoes can go that low. But I am unsure of this. A submarine launch version is being developed by modifying the Varunastra. I don't know the status of development.

Varuna is Varunastra "heavyweight torpedo" made by DRDO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varunastra_(torpedo)

Sources please? Is it news, twitter or reliable journalist like Saurav Jha or Anantha Krishna?

Rafale does not take off from STOBAR of Vikrant. IAC2 is 7-8 years away. Why will india buy rafale now? HALE drone is not important but AEWACS is. Drones can fly for over 24 hours and hence we can easily fly from coast to the carrier

I know that there is CAD. But even then designing is not as simple. We not only have to make design of each parts individually but also as combination. This will involve significant work even with CAD. Rest about redesigning QE to have CATAPULT is exactly what I was saying. MWF will be made to...

It is STOBAR without ski-jump. Changing design will take years as each part must be sketched and designed properly with accurate 3D dimensions. That will be a hell of a task and time consuming

CSL has floating dry dock which can carry large ships of aircraft carrier size. That will remain empty. Also, the ASW ships are small ships and only for shallow waters. This will not be enough. CSL not only makes carrier but other ships simultaenously and hence it has to be given much more...

I agree. Suddenly getting British carrier after India has designed is not meaningful. British design also means that some parts will have to be British made as getting them ready in time will be difficult for India. All this for no proper advantage is meaningless IAC-2 has to start immediately...

The news has said that one officer died and a few are critical. So, it is possible that few others died later in hospital but the number of people dead on the ship is 1

N-Tejas MK2 appears to be more reasonable. The timeline for Vishal is 2027 and by then NMWF must be ready. Every USA weapons have strings attached and the items are highly guarded from technology leaks. There are possibilities of kill switches too. Buying F18 will be highly foolish. If India...

Who said that givt is ballooning budget. Government is lowering budget by slowing things down. Say, an aircraft carrier needs 10 million man hour work. If 1000 people are hired,then it will take 15000 man hours per person. This will be 7.5 years of time. But if 3000 people are hired, it will...

First of all, technology being used in 1990-5 is not archaic in 2013. So, steel grade of 1990s was not archaic when new grade was invented in India. India is only 1 generation behind. Who said that F16 is archaic compared to F35? Who said that things which are just 1 generation old become...

Your limited IQ hinders you to think. India always made steel of different grades. The current ship grade steel may have been made only in 2013 but this is not something in use for 20+ years outsude india. The ships until 1990s were made using dimpler grade steel rather than the current one even...

This is bogus. Screwdriver technology for submarine is also very hard. Ao, forget manufacturing,even assembly can't be donw without trained workforce. Submarine need special hulls, welding and few other skills which are highly exclusive to submarine making and is not found in shipbuilding...

What is IP? Why should anyone own IP? What is so critical about IP?

It is clearly mentioned that the project is P75I. It is also mentioned that technology transfer will be involved. Where else can a submarine be made indigenously? The place where there is infrastructure to make it. It is not that submarines can be made just about anywhere. Otherwise even...

We will need boots on the ground. But in today's world, there is lot of scope for mechanized warfare. It is not the pilot or driver of these machines but the manufacturing of these machines that is highest priority. In war, the machines are used as first line to take all the damage for itself...

It is as good as asking to train gorillas for war. Biological ability makes women much weaker, much slower and have much less stamina then men. Not all conventions are wrong. Women are good for some roles only, not all roles. There are many roles like those of logistics and maintenance as in...
