2014 report. This stuff was pointed by CAG way back in 2014. 6 year more - situation unchanged. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/indian-air-force-using-world-war-ii-era-lighting-system-at-leh-airbase-cag/articleshow/38629052.cms Indian Air Force using World War-II...

I was reading this account of how IAF plane carrying PM Morarji Desai crashed at Jorhat in 1977. https://tkstales.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/754/ It looks like this (Google search) I thought the story ended there, Its more than 40 years and our technology would have been updated. Then...

Its also called Dharasu ALG. We had already landed C130s back in 2013 itself. Since then we have added aircraft hangars/ some sort of shelters to the landing strip. And probably relaid the strip. http://nitinagokhale.blogspot.com/2013/06/why-c-130-js-flight-to-dharasu-is.html Shows the...

Which 60mm mortar shell is gong to target airbases 150-200km inside Indian territory. Israelis have critical civil and military infra worth billions spread across just a narrow territory(its widest point 114 km, At its narrowest point, however, this is reduced to just 15 km). Palestine etc dont...

Iyer says we need Sukhois/Rafale to throw nuclear bomb on Beijing and Shanghai. Those cities are 2500 km away from even IAF airbases in Assam (Tezpur, Chabua)!! And we need to cross entire mainland China to reach those cities!! 1) Neither Sukhoi or Rafale or any fighter jet has such a long...

I believe Gwalior and Lohegoan Akash Squadrons were setup to train personnel, prepare SOPs and get acquainted with new systems in safe environment. Gwalior also houses TACDE and Mirages, so new strategies and SOPs could be planned and tested. Lohegaon for Sukhois. All major Airbases in North...

Elite defence journalists confirm Su-30s and Pechora SAMs at Srinagar AFS and pass it as some new stuff !! The Pechoras have been there at the same place for more than 2 decades !! And he mentions it as new air defence ring. While Sukhois were there ever since Balakot.

Some sort of Underground refueling system

Scary stuff. Birds hit jaguar. Pilot landed safely. Stores jettisoned. Huge fireball from jettisoned stores.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kolkata/iaf-frontline-fighters-fly-at-civilian-airports/articleshow/69181379.cms Sorry if reposted. So IAF has started using Kolkata Airport, Andal Airport(aka Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport), and Guwahati. I think Guwahati was always a military airport with...

Rafael Litening + SAR pod advertisement on Sukhoi. Uploaded two days back. Emphasis also on 'clouded conditions'

Wouldn't it help to place cheap Bharani/Ashlesha radars along few of the transport corridors. Because if we can't track our own plane, the PLAAF might as well have a good day while intruding such radar blindspots.

Isn't it a bit surprising that we haven't been able to locate the An-32 4 days after the crash in our own territory. And this inability to quickly locate our crashed plane has been there for quite some time now, because there have been multiple such instances. This also means that we have...

Just for fun...............

Happy hunting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:)

You just need Reliance or Tatas to fund this foundry. I guess Bangalore is the hub where IBM/Intel actually design the chips and architecture. So we have designers and guess what most of the people working in US for these are Indians. perhaps govt can mandate a particular percentage of mobiles...

Does the C130 (shown in tweet) usually have that long nose?

C130, C-17 were G2G deals. Its said there's No scope or corruption in G2G but there's no competition so price negotiation is difficult. But at the end these are SINGLE VENDOR deals. Ships are Indian made by PSUs. If you are telling about Talwar class then I think those were G2G deals...
