    The Finnish Hamina-class missile boats would be a great template to modernize the 25th "Killer" Missile Boat Squadron. Not with 1000+ton corvettes, but small, fast, stealthy missile boats.

    Yes, you're correct. F-35B is an awesome force multiplier for the US marines or nations whose flagships are LHDs, not carriers. However, the B variant can never be a substitute of a true-blue carrier-based fighter (unlike the C variant, which is great for only specific VLO recce or DEAD...

    True that, it would be an awesome W&C platform, since it has the flying characteristics of a narrowbody airliner anyway.

    What is the measure of success of the F-35B? The measly 6000kg internal fuel or the max 6800kg of payload? Or it's flying bathtub aerodynamics? Or that the different variants can do duty as a submarine or a ground-digger? Let that stupid platform be for USA's NATO submissive partners, please...

    Current PRC is not anti-USA or anti-India. Not since the last two decades. Current PRC is the leader of the global leftist new world order.

    It depends on your definition of "indigenous", I guess. The manufacturing process and supply chain will be indigenised for a foreign-designed and developed product (which is the next best thing to an IDDM product), but the product itself is not indigenous (IDDM).

    Thanks. It won't be IDDM. It is in the negative import list from 2030 onwards means BHEL has a deadline to sign MoU with Leonardo, create a supply chain for its LRUs, and offer the finished 127/64 LW to IN by 2030. Like they did for the 76/62 SR.

    Do we have any news on the 127/64 LW? BHEL getting the ToT? Anything on the negative import or positive indigenisation lists?
