What is meant by modifying in India?. I mean generally we will get OEMs to modify the aircraft in their own turf for other roles. So, it means we will get know how to do that here without resorting to send each and every time?. If that is the case, is it possible to get the know how for A320 platforms since if we get the knowledge we can atleast fast track our sensor platform acquisitions without too much dependency on OEM considering we are buying a lot of stuff from Airbus. Gobermint even if unable to ask for a local assembly line similar to China, should have atleast asked for know-how of A320 conversion.

Arjun Tank Project Could Suffer Another Devastating Delay, Thanks To Army's Decades-Long Reluctance To Back It

The Indian Army's reluctance to fully commit to the DRDO-designed Arjun tank has once again thrown a spanner in the works for India's aspirations of having a homegrown main battle tank (MBT)

So delivery isn't possible in 2024
But in Twitter they were discussing that there are few stocks of mtu engines which can be incorporated into tank but ig they don't want to forget obvious reasons
Maybe they will wait for datran but anyway project will get delayed a lot as a lot of testing remaining for datran
Ig we have to wait for defexpo for our queries

Isn't the 48 HWT too small of an order ? Or is this a low level production for the sub launched version ?

 

[Johny_Baba]

biggest question as ever,
what about Engine? are we going to put that old Larzac that was already deemed underpowered that HAL and all had to bring ruskies on the board and got that Saturn AL-55I done for it...
so again, Larzac or AL-55I ?

 

[Johny_Baba]

First time seeing those

took us soooo many years to get a proper replacement of ww1 era 'pineapple-nades' dem Mills Bombs

The old ones were so bad that Paras stopped carrying them to ops cause of how shit they were and how often they wouldn't work I don't know much about new ones but have heard good things about it.

You're claiming the Larzac is bad ? I've read people commenting how a former CoAS went out of his way to get Russian AL - 55I TF into the IJT thus upsetting the entire supply chain & design of the trainer especially since the said TF was under development , hence unproven.

Also read of the service life of the TF being < 100 hrs which has subsequently been enhanced though I've no idea to what extent & whether this has been verified.

$hit happens, don't go about extrapolating to infer that the whole system is crap.
in real world conditions, they won't send one, they send more than one to minimise this risk.
