You may be confusing me with someone else? I did not go around and calling about someones expertise. Even in your posts on those I did not claim, you did. Read again.... Are you sure the herons we have are upgradeable? Unless I am totally wrong the specs are way different to upgrade to TP...

Corrected about what? You posted specs of armed heron while we only have unarmed which fall in a different class....I was only comparing our deployed ones to mq-9's not the heron armed. You took liberty to do that by bringing heron, my post was only about MQ-9 initially....anyway being civil and...

The operations in NE jungles on Myanmar border and drones are also used in conjunction with fighters which increases their survivability. There are variously strategies being tried out by different countries and we can not fall backward even if it means not much value but I think we will find...

My argument is we just need to get on it without wasting time and learn operational tactics and there is no one else other than Isreal or US to buy and even if its last gen, it meets most of our requirements. No one is going to sell us latest gen domestic versions or the version next to...

Calm down hero....If I beleive everything I see or read then I would think India is super power as this is 2020 and we would have deployed and be totally indigenous by now. What is your expertise, reading tweets and keeping up with news?

If you look at it that way but a drone can fly 24 hrs and a p8i or Chinook can't.

30 is a wiser investment in this case all things considered now and future even if it comes at a premium. US will not sell triton to india yet as we are not in their inner circle. US operates on a certain loyalty established over time or you are part of their geopolitical calculation. We are not...

There is no honesty in your comment. This is not just a money problem, this is a fundamental problem in management both technical and leadership. There have been so many TOT's in the past and yet we can't build a subsonic ALCM on time but we claim bramhos indigenous which is supersonic?

Exactly, thats the extended comms I mentioned about reading it to the spec comparison that was posted.

Atmanirbhar does not happen overnight boss, DRDO and HAL have failed us on UAV drones and so many other things and it will be another fuck up to have them integrate endlessly, for now let them focus on Tejas first, that itself is a great achievement if they get the next version operationally...

Even then, its not a bad deal considering our requirements and we are just entering. Once we build more deeper relationship with them then trust gets established? Not worth going with Isreal in drone market....they had initial advantage being a US #1 partner in that market but there are too many...

This is time to spend not deliberate to endless depths of hell....israel is dead end for drone market going into future. 3b is tiny percentage of our GDP, US equipment minus sanctions risk is worth every penny. Isreali stuff is mostly US components and tech. I would build political mileage with...

As far as I know we only have unarmed ones and not in the same class.....sure I have no idea boss

What we have are in a different class and we need to go with US on the drones long term if we are investing politically with US. They just have lot more invested in keeping up compared to Israel including future carrier ones.

From what I read, the ones that are pitched to us exceed the alt ceiling by 10 to 20% and extended comms and increased payload. Isreal drones are not a good investment going forward. Drone market is changing and Isreael wont be able to keep up. Better to go with US. Add to that predator's...

Combat record means operating in hostile territories and in various EW and other environements like Libya, Syria and so on. If you are looking for no loss equipment then you will end up buying nothing....keep looking for ever. Anything can be shot down/hacked if circumstances are present.

Not in the same class....US drones have combat record for a long time doing various things. Most israeli tech is US donation :cool:

Their use is with in our border side and during peacetime. Loitering ability and occasional order to surprize strike is invaluable options for the commanding officers to plan operations.

Every aircraft serves its purpose....it's recon ability is also practically not that useful when combined with range. It was a bit ahead of its time but then missiles and sats pretty much replaced it. I do not know if there is a record of any successful interceptions either in a combat...

Maldives, Nepal, BD, Myanmar, keep a watch on coast and gaining unmanned operations and logistics experiences. 3b is not a big deal for us.
