Airborne Early Warning and Control system: India’s pride, the world’s envy!
Somewhere in the western sector, an aircraft which could pass off for a business jet except for its extended nose cone and a turret-shaped contraption above the cockpit has been flying scores of sorties before joining the Indian Air Force (IAF)’s fleet, but it has already caught the fancy of sev...

Nyttig å følge med på regionale stater med potensiale og mulig ambisjoner om å bli en global stormakt som India som sies å være nummer to rising superpower i Asia. India har fri tilgang til to verdenshav mens Kina mangler det og dette er begrensende faktor for Kinas mulighet i å bli en global supermakt, noe enkelte spådommer vil ha det til at India kan overgå Kina i å bli net...

Clashes erupt between India and Pakistan along disputed border
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Clashes erupted between Indian and Pakistani security forces Friday, killing at least 11 civilians and wounding scores more on both sides of the contested border, according to officials in both countries.
The exchange of fire came as Indian and Pakistani leaders continued to bicker over the prospect of face-to-face talks.
The Indian military is mobilising nearly 100 tanks near its border with China as part of latest measures to beef up its presence in the region.
The deployment of the T-72 tanks in the remote mountainous region is directly aimed at challenging what it sees as Beijing's aggressive stance in the border area. The tanks have been deployed after the Indian forces made some significant improvement in their operations.
The Indian Navy's primary fighter operating from the aircraft carrier INS Vikramaditya faces operational deficiencies due to defects in engines, airframes and fly-by-wire systems, according to a report by India's autonomous auditor.
India said on Monday its first domestically built nuclear-powered submarine had recently completed a "deterrence patrol," giving it the capability to fire nuclear weapons from land, air, and sea in the event of any "misadventure" by enemies.
With nuclear-armed China to its north and nuclear-armed Pakistan to its west - both of which India has fought wars with - India's nationalist prime minister, Narendra Modi, said the INS Arihant was a "fitting response to those who indulg...
Brann ombord hangarskipet INS Vikramaditya i det hun var på vei til kai. En offiser som ledet innsatsen mot brannen omkom grunnet røykinnhalering. Brannen er brakt "under kontroll" av besetningen.
The 24 Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk maritime helicopters ordered by India will be built to the latest Saudi Arabian configuration, with some additional national-specific modifications.
Disse helikoptrene er tiltenkt å kunne bære Naval Strike Missile.

Høres ut som en slitsom måte å sloss på i 4500 meters høyde. Virker jo også som om de har en stilltiende enighet om at de ikke skal skyte på hverandre, hvis de er bevæpnet i det hele tatt da. ...

Det er visst en avtale fra flere år tilbake som sier at ingen skal gå bevæpnet innenfor en viss avstand fra grensen....

Høyrde på radioen ein som skal vere ekspert på forholdet mellom India og Kina. Ho meinte at så lenge dei haldt seg på klubbe og stein nivået var det ikkje så stor fare for krig, men kom det til skyting skulle ein vere obs. ...
Det høres altså så fjernt ut, begge land enige om en avtale der de kan drepe hverandre, og så lenge det gjøres med stein og klubber eskalerer dette ikke?
Ålreit å få meldinga om at du skal bli grensevakt der etter rekruttskolen.....
India planlegger kjøp av 12 Su-30MKI for å erstatte tap i det opprinnelige antallet på 272 fly, og 21 Mig-29 for å utruste en ny skvadron. India har tre skvadroner med Mig-29 fra før av (jeg er usikker på om det er iberegnet hangarskipsflyene til INS Vikramaditya). Sukhoiene vil bli montert i India av nye deler, mens Mig-29ene vil være brukte, oppgraderte fly fra russiske lagre.

India planlegger å starte opp en fabrikk for å lisensprodusere 750000 AK-203 rifler til hæren sin, men produksjonen er dog forsinket pga korona, båråkrati og økte utgifter.
The stalemate is symptomatic of the larger issue that plagues Make in India –– the setting up of new weapons facilities is cost intensive, pushing up the cost of domestically manufactured arms and making them more expensive than direct imports....
According to a report Indian Air Force (IAF) has officially informed Indian Government that it doesn’t want to induct American developed NASAMS II, which New Delhi has been negotiating with Washington $1 billion deal for NASAMS II which included Missile packages like AIM-120D and AIM-9X Air-to-Air missiles.
AF rather preferred to procure local systems like VL-SRSAM (Vertically Launched -Short-range Surface Air to Missile ) System based on Astra beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile which...
Why Is India Buying More Russian Jets Instead Of ‘Highly-Competent’ Rafale Aircraft?

Tensions between the India Army and Chinese PLA troops escalated after a violent, savagery border clash killing 20 Indian soldiers and unconfirmed number on the Chinese side.
