    You read it wrongly as Air Defence - Area Air Defence, Point Air Defence being subsets and people can get confused if not careful. Probably a hang over from Thaad. Area defence while understandable is also somewhat novel. Moreover there is nothing to suggest that DRDO is working on one more...

    Area Defence is clearly mentioned in the first sentence.

    Why do you say this? Any links or explanation or observations etc. on the matter.

    Ok your wishes have been answered. http://tarmak007.blogspot.in/2015/06/yourtake-wishlist-for-drdo-chief-win.html enjoy giving phokat ki advise. I will be doing it. But seriously this may not actually be taken seriously by DRDO but they will perhaps get some Strategic inputs from the...

    Had LCA crashed they would have nixed it like they did in earlier instances. I am sure the weight penalty is mainly on account of overdesigning to the safety margins, to avoid giving any masala to the LCA baiters. Any crash can easily be turned into a major embarrassment for the designers. And...

    @ersakthivel et al. I think you people have to give some slack to the politicos. After all it is there job to lie and lie and then lie some more. Besides you can never simply believe that HAL is not itself blackmailing the system like the IAF. Its just that there are gears inside gears inside...

    @power_monger I would not say the delays can be overlooked. But then these things happen when you are trying to run when you don't even have the background to suggest a steady gait. The Nagan they were trying was a two tailed tow body array. And we need this kind of stuff as is evident from the...

    Congratulations and Best of luck Mr. Selvin Christopher. Hope the sensor-datalinks-HALE UAV efforts get a boost under him. I would be ok with a foreign engine on AMCA and a foreign design for FGFA class fighter. But both must have an Indian radars, Indian IRST, Indian datalink, Indian avionics...

    HAWK-132 is already a 22 million USD plane. Now after this god only knows what the IAF will pay for if and what they are going to shoot down with this contraption. This is the old cabal of UPA days striking back, to make sure LCA Mk-1 never comes into the reckoning. With less expensive avionics...

    Given that: IN is facing shortages in Sonars. The situation around IOR is changing fast too. IOR as such is a difficult naval territory. IN has the least amount of budget even though their equipment takes the longest possible time to get made and inducted with say 30+ years life. But a sonar...

    Arre hamare SanjeevJino bhai bade ziddi hain bhai. I quoted a French Air Force biggie from the Dassault site saying - Rafale flies 1 hr 30 min in clean config at 450 knots at lo altitude (~410 km two way) and still he thinks Rafale range penalty is not much compared to Su-30MKI. The comparison...

    Sir ji 3 reasons: 1) Armed forces are piss poor. They don't get money for their weapons. What is the point expecting them to do R&D. 2) Serious R&D has become so strategy oriented that armed forces will not be allowed to do it in any serious manner. FYI while the IN has a very good design...

    Understatement of the Kalyug. ISRO rocket goes up facing challenges - something important stays up there. DRDO missile goes up facing similar Max-Q and guidance challenges - something exceedingly important comes back down with far more accuracy. Coming back down is reason why DRDO can never...

    Ok one mistake and I am sorry about that. Abhay Sonar is for small water-crafts in shallow waters and is in tests. It is not the new name of dunking sonar Mihir. New name is LFDS and that too is in tests. And as the DRDO reply to the CAG report noted : Pls read that with the statements of...

    :biggrin2: He did that to me too. I said something. He heard something else entirely. I think it was about Corner shot rifles. Bhadra Bhai it has been pointed out to you and still you persist with an audit report. There was an audit report on LCA too recently. Just on the other thread it has...

    Arre bhai jaane bhi do. Bhadra we get to say what we want to say because you are willing to be our sparing partner. No need to get too emotional. But yes your data is outdated &/or it is un-correlated and worse of all it is an audit report. Audit is not the proper tool for understanding...

    Indian Navy imported some big ticket aircrafts and nobody complained. IAF imported some big ticket aircrafts and everybody complains. There is a difference that the world perceives. You are complaining about a delayed Varunastra even when the IN is going to introduce it. You say nothing about...
