jakeporeshenko:
This one is for you nemesis. Guess the operation

nemesis2uagain:
well , whats the answer

Royal Saudi Air Force unveiled its CH-4 "Rainbow" armed drone for the first time during KFAA Ceremony

ndian metallurgy has to improve. Indian built ship's are nice, but thier land systems are mostly horrible.

Look at this vehicle, is this an IFV? The damn thing looks like an earthworm.

kikuyu1:
Btw,S Africans I have news for you. India will soon in 6 years at the latest overtake you and be a major arms exporter. Their products aren't only cost effective,top quality and indigenous but fill a very real role warfighting role.
For proof of this look no further than the Rudra. Its meant to be a combi gunship and carry a half section with a rear ramp.

Still relatively new its last tests were done in early 2013. Already its selling and an African country is seeking a coproduction agreement. You guys have a top quality gunship in a crowded field fighting for sales with Hinds,Havocs,Tigers,Apaches, Kamovs and even Apaches. Point being? The Rudra is what armies want! If you guys had gone for a Rooivalk light model like the AH 6 or Hughes 530 with greater capacity than these models but a correspondingly lesser price tag than the 25-30 mn$ a piece for the standard Rooivalk you'd have had success.
I hate to say it but I doubt you'll get anything beyond a purchase probe in this market.

MikeCZA:
The Rooivalk was developed or exists because there's was and still a need for it.

The price tag of the Rooivalk is unknown but said to be cheaper than the Apache.

Those upgraded light utility helicopters will never fill the role of heavy attack helicopters.

kikuyu1:


You're missing the point! Tell me why the otherwise excellent Rooivalk which has been around for almost 20 years isn't selling and the 3 year old Rudra with its Hind role is highly sought after.

nemesis2u:


i have concrete info regarding LCH , preliminary negotiations r ongoing with some African countries, they want the LCH with basic weapons like rockets and guns . they will go for ATGM capability when they feel the need.

this involves certain TOT with regard to spares etc. India is proposing to set up a local MRO run by the respective countries , plus technicians/scientists of the respective countries will be allowed access to indian R & D centers to develop their own upgrades and weapon certification (with their weapons of choice). in short help the R & D capabilities of the respective countries so they can build on it further . plus there is a option which talks about joint development of a weapon system from scratch.

Nice pictures you've shared so far, what's with the colors though ? Very interesting camo schemes

nemesis2u:


camo depends on the units area of operation,

desert
grassy plains
jungle
mountains
snow clad regions
marshy places
etc

again a weapon which has to transition between 2 regions say from grassy plains to desert or vice versa will have a unique camo in order to blend in both the regions.


previously Indians used their unique tectric camouflage now they also use digital camouflage.


pic 1 shows the IA tectric camouflage good for both semi arid and arid areas (grassy plains and deserts)

kikuyu1:


I don't believe anything! I KNOW they are in operational use along with space platforms and energy weapons that make conventional warfare obsolete!

Tochex101:

This should be interesting, oya start spilling.
Already got my note pad out

I don't believe anything! I KNOW they are in operational use along with space platforms and energy weapons that make conventional warfare obsolete! Ivan has had working CITY WIDE Tesla shields (force fields) since at least the early 70s.
Also many UFOs are actually Ivan,US and China. Some are holograms,some from both outer space and inner earth aliens. Sorry for x files digression!

@nemesis
any idea if India navy will b going for the new might 35 as its new carrier jet. http://www.airrecognition.com/index.php/focus-analysis-photo-report-aviation-defence-industry/aviation-defence-industry-technology/3257-mikoyan-mig-35-in-full-details-specifications-performances-weapons-sensors.html

nemesis2u:


upgraded rafale M, not MIG35 , as MIG35 is not intended /built for carrier duties

for russian side future indian orders with regard to combat planes will be SU30MKI upgrade ( SUPER SU30MKI ) estimated to cost 8-10 billion dollars and FGFA (PAKFA) estimated to cost 20+ billion dollars

(speculation) for naval AWACS suitable for incoming carriers India might so for development of AWACS mounted on Russian SU80 ( a twin turboprop , twin boom STOL aircraft) Russia’s Sukhoi OKB had 2 years ago offered to co-develop with CABS a carrier-based AEW variant of the Su-80 STOL turboprop or even a UAV AWACS based ON ZOND UAV platform from SUKHOI
