Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II I am never agitated or angry; at least not on a forum, for the simple reason that it will not affect anyone's opinion or views. So, it is futile to get angry or agitated. In fact, it is better to debate with a counter with views and with links since links adds to the...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II So, you claim that the DRDO's 155 mm artillery gun is totally an Indian design and effort? Now, if they can improve upon the Bofors and claim it their own, the what stopped the Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE) to 'develop' the ammunition and...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II No, Tejas is not a total waste. It will carry on with add on development and will surely become functional and operational not too far in the future, given the expertise gained. And in the interim get whatever is required to fill the void in the numbers to bring it...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II HF 24 was a runaway success and done in lesser years. But did not achieve it optimum because of lack of engine. It was underpowered but still accepted by the IAF and performed well even in operations. And Tejas has been languishing inspite of having a foreign engine...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II Missiles and Arihant are a runaway success. What if India took assistance from Russia? Who cares? These successes are still our and we will build greater successes with what we have achieved even if with foreign assistance. And Tejas? Check this This is just...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II And our Arihant indigenous 155mm gun and Missiles are our own effort, right?

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II If the GSQR leads a 50 tonne tank to be 65 tonne, who is responsible? There is a Feasibility Report worked and produced by DRDO. Should the DRDO not tell the Army to take a hike? If the DRDO says it can still do it, which is what it said, then what does the Army do...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II India has faced sanctions many a time. Therefore, India has to cater for such eventualities. Hence, the same fate as Germany. We have to be self reliant. And if there is issues then we should take Projects one at a time or that many that we can deliver with...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II HF 24 was totally indigenous except the engine. Kurt Tank was and employee of the Indian Govt. Are you aware of how many Russian engineers, technicians float around DRDO? I have met some. Would that mean that the equipment designed and prototypes are not Indian...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II What of it? Can one man produce an aircraft or is it by a team?

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II That is an interesting point. So, the Arjun was made without any thought about facilities to upgrade and the cost? So, much of money got squandered for just proving we can make a tank? Odd. Just what I am trying to say, putting the cart before the horse.

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II Why has it not been introduced enmass? There is no other foreign tanks in the race to be bought. Therefore, the usual clichéd cry of arms lobby cannot hold good in this case. What is the 'inside dope' on this?

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II I can only say that where there a military officers heading the Organisation as in the HAL earlier and in the Naval Projects, these organisation has achieved results. If HAL is not achieving results now, I leave it to your judgement. Tejas is NOT the first fighter...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II INSAS is not an infamous rifle. It is a good rifle. I have used many rifles in my service starting from .303. On Arjun, there seems to be some issues.

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II Because my eyes and mind still function and I can see it and use my brains to understand what I see. Do you do it otherwise?

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II Read the above post to realise why FGFA is a mess. Blame it on........the IAF? One has to be contemporary for the adversarial environment when the development is cannot keep pace with the adversarial scenario and is behind times. Is that wrong? Gnats did very...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II Note this article as to why the Navy Projects are successful, while others take time. Note the shipyards are headed by retired Indian Navy officers. Note how the HAL was successful when there were IAF officers at the helm. Accountability is what was expected of...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas Mark-II Note this article as to why the Navy Projects are successful, while others take time. Note the shipyards are headed by retired Indian Navy officers. Accountability is what was expected of them throughout their service and they are thus attuned to the same.
