Don't put words in my mouth. Never said its the cure to all ills. Consumer != Military. What percentage of American Military goods are imported? Quite a bit actually. More than India is doing at least. No. All they need to do is figure out their needs, and then build tanks accordingly. Invite...

So lets waste money trying to buy everything we can from abroad. That'll work. Oh wait! It doesn't because we aren't the richest country on the planet, and we can't afford it. Economies of scale. Nothing will ever be affordable if you spend billions on development and then buy one unit. Tejas...

Whataboutism Just hand wave counter arguments and expect a healthy discussion. Tejas has already achieved FOC. The 40 should be delivered by 2022, which very much is achievable with the 16 per year that HAL is promising right now. Also the first "6th gen" fighters are set to fly by 2030...

India doesn't have control over the equipment they bought. This is exactly how US operates, and one of the reasons I'm glad we bought Russian hardware for a long time instead of American hardware. All of the platforms in question are American. The only thing this allows is for Indians to...

Also he says that "no matter how much simulation we do, it will always be different from the actual thing". While true, we currently have a far more intense training regime than most peace time forces. The IAF training regime has been criticised for not using simulators enough, in place of...

Oh so you think thats how compute power works? You just leave some extra just in case you need it in war situation? This isn't an engine. You leave some headroom just in case, and some headroom for upgrades. It makes future upgrades easier and cheaper. A software upgrade is always cheaper than a...

So? The point is that they used the latest when designed. You seem to be genuinely dense. The F-22 achieved IOC by 2005. So using a CPU from 2002 is nowhere near as outdated as you think. More generic BS. Please understand what each architecture is first. There is something like pipeline...

180nm is in 2000. So enough of your bullshit. Get to the point. 180nm is pretty damn recent when compared to F-22's FOC. You claim some gibberish and don't cite any sources. I've demonstrated that the F-22 used cutting edge tech. Similarly the F-35. Only you keep claiming that faster CPUs aren't...

And now you have finally accepted that the F-22 flies with something that isn't ancient when compared to when it was achieving IOC/FOC? You were telling a while back that they intentionally use 1um and what not for these systems? That too because of heat and shorting? They use the latest...

The need to upgrade the CIP for the F-22 was realised by 2001. Up until then the F-22s used the same systems used in the YF-22, which flew way back in 1991. source ...

Yes I cited a bad source. You can however see the Raytheon press release which confirms the move to the Raytheon CIP instead. The Raytheon CIP is a PowerPC 970 derivative. We can tell based on its specification : It has a rating of 10.5GFLOPS. source ...

Source that 22nm can't handle this? Don't claim stuff cite sources. There is this fancy technology called liquid cooling. It keeps things within an acceptable temperature range. Also, here is proof that a 32nm chip can work just fine at 75C ...

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/04/lenovo-hp-continue-to-vie-for-top-spot-as-pc-market-falls-to-58-5-million-systems/ That is from the article. Intel could not meet the needs. They could not upgrade fast enough despite having the capital and being the world leaders in chip fabrication...

Its because the cost is exponential. You seem to think that the cost for upgrading an existing fab isn't high. It is very high. Its why we don't have any private fabs around. Its also why new fabs aren't set up willy nilly. In fact last year's declining PC sales were traced back to Intel's...

So lets hold of buying Rafale or any other plane until our own system is ready. In fact, if we wiat another 10 years, AMCA will be ready, so we can just order more AMCAs. No need for Rafale. AMCA will be more indigenous than Rafale will ever be. Who will set it up for so cheap? You do realise...

The question is why will they do this when it is more effort? Your entire logic is that it is less effort to do so, and thus they will integrate Uttam, the EW suite, and other avionics. This is generally done when the indigenous options are better. As of now, we can only say that the indigenous...

Yes the jey word is developing. It is not ready yet. Here let me explain it this way. Uttam will present the data it gets in some way. What will the Rafale sensor fusion software expect? The data format that the Rafale's original radar gave. How will it change he modes on the Uttam radar? How...

Right. There won't be any problem with inlet and engine size. The fact that the airframe will have to be modified to fit the Kaveri is indeed irrelevant here. Obviously they'll do it for us at no extra cost. It needs to integrate with everything else. We don't have a full EW suite like SPECTRA...

You presume that the Rafale we buy will not have SPECTRA, its own EW suite, its own radar and IRST. At some point you have to realise its a very different Rafale. There's a reason our Su-30 MKI is very different from the Su-30 MKK or the Su-30SM. Right. We don't need our missiles to fire. We...

This is not what indigenisation means. It simply means the parts will be Made in India. To what extent the parts will be made, depends on the deal. The idea that we will simply stick Uttam and get rid of SPECTRA is insane. That will have to be part of the deal. i.e. the deal will say that Uttam...
