Why should I give a *censored* about randomn russians LMAO. Do you think there arent French who dont like us? Americans? Europeans? Asians? Wake up. Nobody truly likes you, not even so called allies with US-europe or US-east asia. Its all a game of how much you can gain from a deal. If India is able to get benefits from a deal for the su57 then ok, I could not give less of a *censored* about what randomn russians or hell even putin thinks about Me personally as an individual.

Excellent watch on Software and Avionics integration.

Thanks for sharing. Agree with the ex-SDI lead that IAF can take a page out of the IN on project management.
But disagree with him that imports are justified because because DRDO/HAL are not magically world class. Imagine where SDI would be if IAF ran to Russia every time to integrate a DRDO/Israeli weapon since Russia is a leader in mating weapons to platforms...
The really eye opening part is that Russia offered the whole source code for Su30 but Indian leadership thought it wise not to pursue that offer for an AF that will likely still be flying till the 2060s...
They very well could be. That's my entire point. I don't care about their opinion if they are actually Russians.
IAF had Wing Commander under surveillance for months before arrest in honey-trap case
NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force (IAF) had its own intelligence apparatus watching a serving Wing Commander for months before he was arrested for allegedly passi
He didn't say that. His point was simply that DRDO doesn't deliver and forces need equipment to fight. Its just delusional to wait for DRDO indefinitely.
I keep saying this, how many ships are equipped with towed array sonar?. They waited decades by not importing the it and two NSTL programs filed to deliver. We could have had a repeat of INS Khukri because of this sonar. Are you willing to pay such costs?
Didn't India already procure some German towed array sonars -- these types of stopgaps are fine as long as they don't kill the local development... But more to the point I'm making, why isn't ALTAS inducted into a few ships so it can be iterated upon?
I am also curious how DRDO manages prioritization of requirements from the three service branches... are these serviced according to the weightage of the funding split across the services?
