Since we are investing over a bllion in these helos and their weapons..I feel we should have atleast 3-4 squadrons of these.
Some very nice Mig 21 and Jag photos in this thread..

Seem familiar?

First P8I

No fast jets I agree but it does have Submarines that can make a gawd almighty bang in Countries that upset us!:)
ROTFL :D:D:D
Guess what “Royal” Navy submarine made a gawd almighty bang in Libya??
Its the USS Florida , USS Scranton and USS Providence!!
Good show there Sir! Royal indeed. :p
If you must bring The United Kingdom into this would you please refer to our Navy as the Royal Navy.
Nothing is “Royal” about a navy which cannot even maintain a squadron of fast jets for a start.
I doubt the Indian forces have any more professionalism than the Pakistani forces. I see them as both being at around the same level broadly speaking.
It’s always easy for one side to come here and present one sided evidence, then draw conclusions based on that alone. It doesn’t prove anything.
And what evidence do you have that you drew such a conclusion as to equate the professionalism of both countries?
Rumour has it the Pakistani nukes are in the control of a fairly sane general. Not sure about the situation with the Indian nukes.
Rumour has it that you speak without any objectivity.Oh well its not a rumor , I have been reading your rants for quite a while now in this forum.
By the way you will explain how the issue of nukes came into this thread.
I am not holding my breath though.

Request to mods…please lock this thread , its going to turn pretty ugly very fast.
Another MiG 21 crashes killing the pilot. MIG 21 MType 96.
RIP

All Mig 21s need to be phased out including the bisons.
Prithvi was, is and will be cumbersome battlefield missile when compared with other similar systems. It was the reason why Prahaar was born. The accuracy of Prithvi was improved in the later on variants…
It might be relatively cumbersome but that does not take it away from the fact that it has gt an excellent CEP in the order of 4-6 m.
Simply because ss150 is the only option will not make it less cumbersome or undo the fact.;)
What do you mean by “only option”?what “fact” are you talking of?
Does anybody here have more info on Hf-24 follow up designs ?
You mean the HF 25 and HF 73?

Clinton is understood to have made a strong pitch for more US military sales to India, especially in the wake of American companies recently losing out in the race for a $ 10.4 billion order by the Indian Air Force for 126 fighter aircraft. She expressed her country’s willingness to sell state-of-the-art F 35 warplanes to India at “unbelievable” prices. The Americans are understood to have asked the Indian government to open its purse strings for the Lockheed built fifth generation super stealth F-35 Lightning the basic model of which is being made available to India for $ 65 million apiece. The Indian defence establishment would naturally find the offer too good to be true as much inferior fourth generation French Rafale is priced at $ 85 million and Eurofighter Typhoon (also a fourth generation aircraft) at $ 125 million apiece. The American offer signals American desperation for capturing a big pie of the highly lucrative Indian defence market, especially after two top American fighter aircraft manufacturers – Lockheed (F-16) and Boeing (F-18) – got eliminated in the recent Indian MMRCA deal worth $ 10.4 billion. More clarity would have to emerge on the proposed F 35 Lightning sales to India.

Today was the launch trial for Prahaar battlefield missile…no news on how it went??
BTW chorgupta as usual confusing Prahaar with LORA /EXTRA/Whatever in his blog and also making false claims(as usual) about prithvi’s CEP…again caught red handed:

Mr Prasun,
In your first comment you mentioned that the accuracy of SS-150 is dismissal and the system is cumbersome and so on.
Me being witnessed a trial launch,I assure you that the accuracy of the system has been brought down to 4-6mts.Other than the system being a liquid fueled,its still our best choice to take down the enemy targets with a wide variety of targets.Been using the system fora long time and having tested it multiple times,I will place my bet on using this one. All the inventory of 150`s which are ofcourse a huge number running into a number of hundreds has to be expelled to make room for new inventories.
On the other hand you cant compare a system like prithvi to any other contemporary one. Prithvi lies in an entirely different block. IF accuracy is one factor, then its anti-ABM is another factor.Having been sitting on a huge pile of prithvi inventory, every new technology that goes into the next gen long range missiles is being tested on prithvis first.Before the anti-boost phase ABM system was put onto A-III its been tested on Prithvis. Just like all other INS and warhead detonation mechanisms and so on.
We just have to accept that with no prithvi, there is no further development of missile technology in India.And regarding your unresearched comment of Prahaar,that its an indigenised LORA, you are completely wrong at it again. It is a spin-off AAD.While LORA is a quasi ballistic missile, Prahaar is not.
My sinciere advice is that, next time when you have to post, do research on it.Just dont post whatever pops in your mind”
When will chorgupta stop!!:rolleyes:
Oh well , seems like the test has been postponed for a few days.
Seems like there is space to add a third pylon on each stub wing?
