Just let China walk in... WAKE UP GoI!
Poor state of affairs. Bad planning. Bad govt. Bad politicians. Corruption in forces. A chance to bash around.5.What is so difficult to understand ?, Or what else one trying to see..
Sir, Nothing to do with Chinese but viewer ratings..
From: Dubai Air Show 2009 � Thales wins Indian Air Force low-level radar dealDUBAI – Thales has won a contract to supply the Indian Air Force 19 low-level transportable radar systems based on the Ground Smarter (GS) 100 sensor, the defense company announced at the air show here.
Thales will build six of the 19 radars at its Limours facility, southwest of Paris. Under a technology transfer agreement, its local partner Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) will build the remaining 13 units in India, the French defense company said Nov. 15.
Each low level transportable radar system comprises the GS 100 radar, operational and communications shelters, an energy subsystem, mobility subsystem and quarters for personnel.
"This contract reinforces our position in the Indian region as a major supplier of air defense radars," said Richard Deakin, Thales senior vice president and head of the air systems division. "BEL is a leading supplier of defense electronics systems and subsystems and plays a leading role in a number of major Indian defense programmes."
The GS 100, based on the SR3D radar platform, is a mobile, modular and multifunctional sensor designed to track complex target manoeuvres at very low altitudes, Thales said.
The sensor can detect and track targets up to a range of 180 km. The SR3D platform is also used in the Ground Master 400 long range radar, launched into the market in 2007.
No financial details were given. The international competition for the radar was launched in 2003.
India is not darling of anyone. Your govt has made us more friendly with usa and vietnam.Be relaxed, now China is in the defense position, you Indians are darling and ally of the mighty USA, you can already line up with Vietnam to meddle the South China sea, what China can do? China is a crippled duck, at USA and India's mercy, maybe after 15-20years, will China dare to talk to India then.
We need more short and medium range radars to plug the gaps cos of the terrain.
long range radars are effective only for high flying aircrafts.
Crippled duck? Indeed!Be relaxed, now China is in the defense position, you Indians are darling and ally of the mighty USA, you can already line up with Vietnam to meddle the South China sea, what China can do? China is a crippled duck, at USA and India's mercy, maybe after 15-20years, will China dare to talk to India then.
this does not give correct picture this much i can say.
This image is more or less true atleast for the NE region, I hardly have any info of Active Air defense batteries operational for the whole NE, but on the other hand the same also applies for PRC, if any plans does exist to beef up security in the NE region I will prefer III and IV army crops HQ and Tezpur, Chabua and Shillong AFB to come under the security umbrella first, more over a new regiment of Brahmos Cruise missile to be stationed in NE indicates some kind of a security umbrella to be established in the region, more then that in the entire NE region their is also no Armoured brigade nor Artillery Brigade neither Mechanised brigade to add. but the point is even PRC is also not that prepared in that area and new generation intel will prevent rapid deployment of troops in the boarder area without the knowledge to the other side.this does not give correct picture this much i can say.
Dont get confused. Radar coverage occurs at three levels - low, medium, high. Based on each requirement (altitude and range) you have different radars of different power ratings, sizes etc. India does have coverage with high and medium level radars, not ideal and far below what IAF actually wants for gapless coverage, but it is there, and these usually cover VAs and VPs and routes around the same (Vital Areas/Vital Points). NE is a special case because like in Kashmir, the heavily forested, mountainous terrain is full of valleys. That means unlike the plains, even a mast mounted medium/high power radar will have blind zones in its coverage. Low flying helicopters and aircraft, can use these to fly below the radars line of sight (which could be blocked because of the terrain features getting in the way). That is why the chief mentioned terrain and the challenges. So for the NE, the IAF is looking at and has ordered two specific kind of radars, these can either be quickly deployed to spots where the coverage is weak, or placed on top of mountains, scanning the valleys where the radars on the other side of the feature do not have clear LOS. These radars are Low Level Transportable Radars (LLTR) and Low Level Light Weight radars (what the Chief referred to as LLLWRs).dude- he says the only way for airforce and ARMY he states is to be notified through the ITBP force. Now tell me - why if army could notify the airforce per your radar statement- would he THEN say THE ONLY way they get notified about intrusions is through that force and not mention army notifications? and he says even the army gets notified by them ( ITBP)
can someone else help out here and actually watch and hear the AF chief's statement in the video posted here.
