If NASAM is about paying hafta to the US then why not buy something we really need - like air refuelers or Chinooks or a hundred other things? $3B Reaper drone is one more unwanted deal that refuses to die.

We won't buy them, I think we won't.
We are buying s 400 already, just buy stingers and be over with it.

From Doordarshan yesterday, some interesting stuff

Nice video, MSME are the back bone of defence industry. good too finally see a private company using government facilities. This was in talks for long time but never materialize. Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Are the Japan and Australia (and Boris a couple of days ago) PM also having 1:1 with the VP (historically the position carries very little weight). OR is this "privilege" only granted to our PM?

Why does Arjun come with Mine plough? Never seen other MBTs with the integrated plough, there are minesweepers that run ahead.

Russian T-90

Israeli mine plough

Abrams Mine plough

We definitely use a different t 90 gun, just look at the fume extractor. Position.

Do the other tanks have plough on each of their units or only on a few of them in each regiment? Arjun Mk1A is invariably displayed with a plough, hence the question.

As per popular belief, the mine plough on Arjun is detachable. Its only shown with the mine plough as it has never came out of prototype stage.
On other hand, if you would compare Arjun and T-90, Arjun's armour has been built more heavily then T-90. Now in a battle field scenario, Arjun would take the first hit and would be expected to survive for others to take on the enemy. So the tank leading the front would work as a path clearance for others too.

Now its my personal take, but bottom of the thing is that the plough is detachable.

It is on table since 2016. Only the AON never got approved. A typical pressure gimmick when ever PM visits US or President visits India.
