With Russia cripling we just need to see what India will get.

Knock Knock Knock ……. its Dec 2004, 2005 is just a few weks away. :p

Have u been crippled since childhood

There was something on TV here about that incident a few weeks back. Is it true that there was a large lack of bodies recovered from the crash site?

r u mentioning abt the Discovery channels one hrs show which was bascically meant to safegaurd the American point of View of the Cruel act on part of the Soviets. THis was shown a few weeks before.

junipergoth,
its highly unlikely that there is much Soviet classified left as Boris Yeltsin had thrown open it for all and its from these that the American propaganda machines make their documentaries. But they wont ever say that in Korean war, what Soviets claimed was actually true and that American claim was an utter lie!

Any news abt the P-28??……. I hope it’ll take ‘pocket destroyers’ to a new level with its armament, design, automation etc etc.

from acig

The Zhuk-ME radar features a built-in test capability and is credited with 15 operating modes divided between air-to-air and air-to-surface modes as follows:

Air-to-air
Look-up/look-down range-while-search and Track-While-Scan (TWS) of 10 targets, with simultaneous engagement of up to 4.

Air combat
Vertical search, head-up display search, wide-angle search, bore sight and automatic terrain avoidance for low-altitude combat operations.

Air-to-surface
Real beam ground-mapping, Doppler beam sharpening, synthetic aperture, display enlargement/freeze, TWS on four targets, ground target Moving Target Indicator (MTI)/tracker, air-to-surface ranging and navigation update.

Due to an integrated weapon selection panel, the Fulcrum can use a wide range of weapons, which includes no less than eight types of air-to-air missiles and 25 air-to-surface weapons, carriage of up to four semi-active laser guided air-to-surface rockets and a GSh-301, 30mm gun with 150rds. The weapon selection system enables the pilot to fire more than one type of weapon per attack.

What i think they need, is to modify the Akulas, aka the Bars ….. or say a new sub, with the bow for sonars, torpedo tubes section shifted back and with 12-20 Silos for SLCM like the Granit. Its coz I wud like to see the fatty Oscars being said goodbye and built on the rather more capable Bars class a CBG destroyer, a job which is entrusted on the OSCARs.

And I say 12-16 VLS for Granits wud be a good one with the torpeo tubes freed for the stallions.

Is there anyt news abt them being upgraded or new modifeied version of the torpedo.

GLONASS satellites will be sent into space on both Russian and Indian carrier rockets, Perminov said. India will become Russia’s main partner in GLONASS’ development, he added. The two countries plan to use new space devices GLONASS-M and GLONASS-K with an increased term of active existence up to 12-15 years.

Russia also plans cooperation with India to create an oxygen-hydrogen booster for space rockets. Perminov said the two countries have already cooperated to create an analogous booster for an Indian JSVL rocket. The new booster will be made for the Russian Angara rocket.

So…. the GLONASS ……. coming to FULL LIFE in near future means ……

Indian Su-30MKI, MiG-29’s M2K, Jags, MiG-27s, Tejas LCA etc etc wud be equipped with the GLONASS recievers.

Not to mention for the first time an Indian Global Nav system for civilian uses in India ……

And so will be the Ballistic missiles which earlier shied away from GPS wud be using the GLONASS for high precision conventional strike! ….. it cud not have come at a better time, though it was to Happen earlier, but for the obvious usual suspects.

hey can some one post pics of the MiG-LFi??
