Boeing: Order from India to save Long Beach jobs

India’s $4.1 billion aircraft order with Boeing is boost for Long Beach factory

A C-17 cargo jet is produced at Boeing’s Long Beach factory. India’s government has approved the purchase of 10 C-17 military planes for $4.1 billion. The deal would give workers at the Long Beach plant one year of new work. In January, Boeing said it was cutting 900 of the plant’s 3,700 jobs. (Bob Chamberlin, Los Angeles Times / June 7, 2011)

At this time Russia have so many different missile like pesho, Rodolfo, Tango III, Rodolfo, Distiller, Austin, sferrin, SS-26, they all are so useful for the Russia, they all need this space and missile to win the war.

That is a deadly arsenal right there :diablo:

Interesting, since by anyone who isn’t Indian’s estimates, the T-90 has a heavier armor layout than the Arjun.

Don’t let national fantasies stop you though!

Did you read the story about how the Arjun’s Kanchan Armor defeated all APFSDS an HESH rounds including Israeli ones and also a T 72 round from point blank range?

“With the ruggedness of the Russian airframe and the finesse of Western avionics”

Are they aware that the vast majority of the avionics are Russian and Indian of origin?

I noticed that.

Peeved IAF Looks Beyond Russia To Revive Ilyushins

The C 130s and C17s can’t arrive fast enough.

Russians 😡

Il 76 , C 130 , C 17.., pakfa…its all the same.We are digging ourselves quite a deep grave here.Such things are bound to happen when services dont want to invest money on indian products or R&D , on the other hand sanction billions of $$ for foreign equipment.
On a different note..why doesnt some thing similar happen to our T 90s…oh wait , it happened but still the army cant see beyond their favourite tincans and order a few more arjuns…:rolleyes:

So yet again Isreali route was required for aa AESA radar. Its rather disturbing to see that even after getting the Greenpine years ago, India have not yet progressed on radar tech. Anyway Gujarat badly needed a good radar coverage and hope they will be installing enough of these in the region. The Armed forces biggest headache was & will be to protect the refineries in the event of hostilities.

can anyone provide the current status of the AESA t/r module development & the progress?

I dont know from where you come up with such rants.India has progressed quite a lot in radar tech. Most radars coming into service now are Indian made.Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Research_and_Development_Organisation#Radars and check the section under radars.The Indian Long Range tracking radar (LRTR) [which is partially based on the greenpine] the back bone of the ABM programme is better than the Greenpine.
As for the T/R modules are concerned , Indian GaA T/R modules are in production in some capacity , and successful functioning of prototype GaN t/r modules have been already done.

Hmm…so it could be 2084 after all….

says air det. range of 256 nm..which is much more than 300 kms[although the export version will be downgraded in all probability] and max target of 1200!
so this is interesting eh and much needed too..

by the way aroor also changed the heading of his article from “indigenous” to “israel-built” 😀
