Whatever order has been given is thrust down the throat. The reasons are obvious: # After being fitted with NAG launchers, BMP-2 does not remain an ICV but become a missile carrier platform. Mechanised Infantry battalion therefore will not utilise these vehicle. # The vehicles and...

................................... How gradual is this gradual ... 60 years for MPATGM, 30 years for Arjun, 35 years for making a Bofors gun with TOT ..... How many years of Tejas, How many years of LCH ? Unless you coin the word - Hindu Rate of Research to further defame Hindus .. the model...

Let us not link "Foreign Exchange" theory and production theory of "Economy of Scale" to research and innovation. That is not the job of DRDO and OFB, nor is that a matter that rests with MoD. All these institutions have a job cut out for them - mainly research and innovation and they should do...

OK that is fine ... more than 20 years testing is gone.. Sorry, RBI did not print fiat notes for that. They took part of that out of my pocket. After that how do I care if they purchased dollars from that or some DODO toy !

Still costly for a system: # With minimum range of 400m (that is about half a km). # Works on Lock on Before Launch - it means the Woods loop starts with detection and acquisition of target based on active IR seeker. Since the target is required to be identifies visually, the range can not be...

Thanks for telling me that DRDl is actually working on ATk missile not only after IGMPD started but for last 50 years. And still they have failed man a basic MPATGM ? And still have gumption to block imports. So who is elephant in the room?

I knew someone is going to ask me that : "The Nag missile costs about $500,000 USD per unit[5]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nag_(missile)#cite_ref-auto2_5-2

My and many other's I suppose, dismay is that why not MPATGM - NAG for last 30 years. If you can not make one or do not want to make one then get aside and let user buy it from someone else ( slavery / abject Majboori in the name of indigenous )

It is "Stand-off Antitank" (SANT) missile ... http://idrw.org/india-sheds-light-on-new-air-launched-anti-tank-missile-development

There are many differences, though, main being as mentioned. Hellfire comes in many variations of Warhead and guidance types according to the firing platform and nature of target. Hellfire costs about 1.5 lakhs $ but NAG is about 5 lakh$ per piece ( make the country pauper in the name of...

It would be very rare that Pakistan and Indian strike corps are attacking simultaneous within the same pivot corps area. Even if it happens, the platforms have sufficient flexibility to deal with both. In that context what becomes important is location of their bases Multiple FARPS can be...

So far Indian forces have no doctrine and felt no need for use of attack heptrs against Naxals or terrorist anywhere. When in contact, these platforms can not be used lest they kill their own troops Theory of economics of scale applies only for OFB and DRDO. Money makes the mare go. Right...

Thanks... What about India developing their own software and using it on AH-64.. India is now signatory to COMCASA so what is the use of signing that If India has to struggle for datalinks.

That may not be possible due to source code problems of Data Links.

Yes for day to day requirements of providing logistics support to remote posts. But that does not appear to be the prime purpose as Chinooks are being stationed at Chandigarh. Lifting up ULH also does not appear to be the primary focus. Lifting ULH for Ladakh may not be required in view of...

Not likely for anti terrorist ops Contracted hellfire.

Apaches are intrinsically A Tk plateforms. In Punjab they would have limited visibility and range, thus limited application. Ladakh and Arunachal would have limited utility. The open area for their maximum utilisation is area from Suthern Punjab to Rajasthan. For that one squadron appache and...

Air assets are very flexible and can be switched from one place to the other in no time. What will happen to existing MI -28? Let those also be employed somewhere. ALH will also come in large numbers and as per DODOs those will outgun the AH- 64.

The U.S. Army is planning to test a combined operation of manned and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), as part of the demonstration of advanced capabilities enabled with current and future systems and technologies. The demonstration called 'Manned Unmanned Systems Integration Concept' (MUSIC)...
