I've got no clue. I tried searching for the notification mentioned in that pic, but to no avail.

An article from 2014; admission by RR to paying 1.85 million dollars for "consultation" to a third party.
Knowing how Delhi works, it's sad to blame RR- nobody talks without commission here

Treating symptoms, not the cause - the Indian way

I wonder what impact this will have on the deal between RR qnd HAL for Adour engines. Since it says there will be restricted procurement from RR.

If they can remove Leonardo, they can remove Rolls-Royce, IG.

Restricted procurement and blacklist are different. Under restricted procurement, only few aspects gets debarred unlike blacklist where the whole spectrum gets blocked.

The planned JV(!) for engine development eith RR would not be impacted because of it if it happens.

At least present a stronger argument if you are going to argue against weapons import, this was the weakest point





No, we needed 100+ Rafales. Do you realize that 36 Rafales are a stop-gap measure to dwindling IAF strength so that HAL gets enough time to perfect and manufacture Tejas?

And 147 M777 is like a special weapon, especially suited for amphibious and surgical operations, where quick troop insertion and para-dropping of equipment will be crucial.



Because the requirement was not there. We were not expecting the Chinese will roll tanks in Ladakh, now you see a renewed focus on China being our main adversary, rather than Pakistan.
And no, IA never said to give them Spurt. IA just expressed that there exists a requirement of a light tank, and Russia/dalals seeing an opportunity, pitched in.

=============================================================

Let me ask you simple reverse questions.

If tomorrow, due to our (foolish) stubbornness for indigenously-manufactured weapons even if they are sub-par, costs us Ladakh, J&K, or Arunachal Pradesh, who is gonna take the blame? Obviously armed forces and govt.

No one will say, "Yeah we lost the war, I lost my son in war, my daughter has been sold to Chinese, but at least we got to use our indigenous weapons, because that's what was actually important".

Live. in. reality.

sorry for late reply but can i ask you which weapons are you referring in your past posts that india can't make & only import can fill this capabilities or we lose war. In my view we are only weak in jet engines, and slowly catching up in uav tech.

Can these floating vessels be converted to launch unmanned boats or VTOL drones.
