That means NETRA MK.3 and not the third NETRA airframe?

The heading says netra 3 so its unlikely they are talking about 3rd airframe

Gen. MM Naravane, Chief of Army Staff, was presented the Indigenous Rajak Ultra Long Range Observation System by the TASL Team. The product designed & manufactured by TASL can detect a human target up to 18km and a vehicle up to 26km, both during day & night.

Is this the same one DRDO LOROS/BOSS system for long range surveillance.

how many seakings and Sikorsky UH-3H does the navy still operate.

will the alh naval variant completely replace the chetaks.

Some 20 Seakings and 6 UH-3H are in service with the Indian Navy.

I believe drdo laser system can do this too

DRDO system has laser along with jammer . i.e both soft kill and hard kill .. But there might be difference in power of laser .

And is never held accountable for inordinate delays, whereas Pvt guys are screwed even though they're new to the game whereas drdo has been doing this for last 50yrs and should actually be held to a higher standard

Do you know this or just assuming?

Anyways what's stopping private companies from doing R&D if they're so good? Reality is most private companies are incapable of cutting edge defence R&D. India's biggest car maker Tata can't make a 2 litre 4 pot diesel engine or an automatic transmission for their flagship SUV and you expect thess guys to magically make defence products?

My point is that DRDO has done almost everything with the minuscule budget they are given and private companies are not some divine entities that you're believing.

Goddamned MNREGA scheme

DRDO employees are recruited through a proper competitive exam and interview. Most people here (including you) are incapable of qualifying that exam. So don't badmouth the scientists when you yourself can't do anything.

so the new helis ordered from the US are only replacements for these right?are there any follow on order needs as our navy ships are growing.

There must be some reason that China went so much ahead of us despite gaining Independence almost together.

They stole most of the technologies from Soviet Union after its fall and now even from US.

People here don't seem to understand that western countries have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on developing all their technologies, and we require similar amounts to make similar indigenous technology. We have 2 options:

1. We steal from them and reverse engineer (like China)
2. We pay western companies for ToT for non critical/obsolete tech and then reinvent everything critical.

Right now we're doing the second and that too with very little funding (we're a socialist, welfare state). So it's natural everything's delayed. No magic private company can change this.

The only way to develop cutting edge defence tech is to steal from the west to gain parity (like US stole from Germany after ww2).

The original Whap and IPMV.....This means IPMV cannot move in water!!!!

My question is to everyone
Why did our forces inducted whap with degraded capability like no amphibious role
What's there strategy behind it, why not with amphibious capability
Will they order whap with amphibious capability later

Galwan woke up our sleeping gernails and forced them to buy what was available at the moment instead of doing endless trials. Sometimes I think chinka and porkie are blessings in disguise, else we would still have a 70s army !

BTW can anyone tell me what firepower does whap/ipmv have ? And how many personnel it can carry ?

Times are changing .. many private sector startups in specialized sectors coming up .. Tonbo imaging is one example . They did a very clever thing .. They first exported their product to isreal and usa army instead of indian army .

Even now they are buying their monotubes instead of dual and quads
Which army in this world have you heard that they don't know their own domestic product but other one knows
