Something basically like s-400 system

Something basically like s-400 system

S 400 make use of older missile too , but yeah role is similar and arrangements too

 

[Aniruddha Mulay]

Is ERSAM basically going to be Barak 8 ER?

 

[arnabmit]

Is ERSAM basically going to be Barak 8 ER?

Probably Akash NG ER... Dual pulse Akash NG with Booster

 

[SwordOfDarkness]

Am I reading this correctly, capital outlay for airforce> navy > army

https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/doc/eb/sbe21.pdf

Has this ever happened before ?

MRCA this year? Could be.

Or maybe payments for s400

 

[SwordOfDarkness]

Is ERSAM basically going to be Barak 8 ER?

Or S400 style? Composition looks similar, medium+long range combo.

I wish Bharat Forge (Kalyani group) would take an initiative to make Bharat-52 based SPH and an M777 equivalent lightweight artillery etc and so, probably a truck-mounted version too,

i mean from getting GHN-45 Tech and Assembly line etc stuff he's effectively gotten one of the best howitzer design to home, GC-45,
This same GC-45 was base for south african Denel G-5 howitzer that we were trying out on Bhim SPH but due to certain political bakchodi etc stuff it never got actualised and we're stuck with importing-assembling K-2 etc from South Korea

also GHN-45 originally was way much better design than the FH-77 Bofors we got here in late 80s, and all these issues with FH-77 design seems to be further inherited by its derivatives here with Dhanush and ATAGS...giving to these reports coming out and so,

so since we have a better design in hand with Bharat-52 ( GC-45 at core ), i wish Baba Kalyani would take an initiative to make SPH, Truck-Mounted versions and Light Artillery etc sort of derivatives from that.

India is "too much democracy"

IA does need m777 class howitzers+chinook class helis (HAL did say something about a design like that), for ares where even sph are unsuitable. Mostly china border.

THIS IS THE CAPEX BUDGET

Total Defence Budget - 5.25 lakh crore a jump of 9.82% over allocations in last fiscal.
.
What is a Capex budget? The money which the armed forces can use to buy stuff, in simple words.

Why Army and Air Force got less budget? Exact reasons can be different but Army used only 40% and Air Force used only 70% of the budget allocated to them previous year.

Looks like a pivot to Navy. Chances of next CDS from Navy!!!
Reasons:
1. The previous CDS mentioned AF as a supporting arm.
2. There would definitely be some sort of succession plan in the works, with primary input from Gen Bipin Rawat.
3. Given 1 & 2 above, the future CDS plan would be Army/Navy, Airforce (in that order).
4. The current budgetary outlay clearly shows a pivot to Naval expenditure.
Therefore, the conclusion as mentioned in 1st para.
* The conclusion, is reached purely based on the points mentioned above. There are other criteria to be looked at, as mentioned in an older post by me

The idea of CDS (and the accompanying sub-sets/tangents) is in its germination. We need a hardened officer, a visionary, a diplomat, on a similar wavelength with the government, to be the next CDS. From which arm of the forces..... would be a supplementary discussion, if at all. The post of CDS (or any other post of such critical nature) cannot be a reward posting for sure.

Baba Bana bhi denga tobhi army order nahi dengi . Bharat forge ULH has been showcased multiple times yet no interest from army . Muft main product development nahi hota

Defence expo 2018 0rders zero interest

Sadly true, though this one's in 155mm/39 Cal design, similar to older Bofors, plus weight around 4.5 tonnes

M777 we got was in 155mm/52 Cal design, with weight around 4.2 tonnes,

so if they could make a GC-45 derivative in 155mm/52 Cal (already out there) in light weight category around some 5 tonnes max then it would be really great

non-towed GC-45 is already weighted around 8 some tonnes...need some weight shedding to reach that range,

around 5 Tonnes it would provide sufficient lifting margin for a helo like chinook to also carry the gun crew and sufficient ready to fire ammo.

Any Bharat Forge employee reading this, pls pass on the message to your superiors plox , i believe in you

Didn't we saw a mounted gun from kalyani some days back ?

M777 is a 155mm 39 caliber .

 

[Johny_Baba]

M777 is a 155mm 39 caliber .

oh my bad,
then it surely shucks to not induct it

 

[Apollyon]

Cost of all these "Make in India" products should be quoted in two parts - 1. Rupees - Cost of components and services sourced from within India. 2. US$ - Cost of components sources from outside.

Let the truth be out about our defense manufacturing capability.
