While considering the recent information we are getting that we had some advancement in developing powerful Lithium-ion fuel cells with a TATA-DRDO joint research which ended up in development of a prototype passenger vehicle(Bus) with Li-ion power pack. Have we done any work on the Submarine front with Li-ion packs so far to replace AIPs?

At the moment, no tank in Indian Army service has an active protection system."Thehunderednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-27469102852787833812017-01-25T05:36:51.983+05:302017-01-25T05:36:51.983+05:30To BROWN DESI: Looks like both Dhanush-52 & AT...To BROWN DESI: Looks like both Dhanush-52 & ATAGS will be paraded together. Watch the full dress-rehearsal from 0.0029 till 0.0054.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VXqN3sSxa8<br /><br />To PRATAP: It wasdn't a defeat, but a stalemate or slugfest due to missed opportunities. Firstly, war directives weren't issued properly & on time by IA HQ at that time. While the IA's armoured formations were in their forward concentration areas by late July, war did not break out till September 1 & during the period in-between everyone was killing time & those who were mobilised had to revert back to their peacetime duties attending various courses, only to be recalled urgently again on September 1. But most importabtly, there was an acute shortage of maps for various formations & over & above that the maps were hopelessly outdated. <br /><br />To VED: The actual design of the SSBN & SSN for the IN are IPR data & since they are proprietary, they are safely locked up in IN HQ.<br /><br />To SANKHADEEP MAJUMDAR: Even before one decides to strike, one must know where to strike & how to strike. All this requires a huge amount of ISTR data & some of it in real-time. Collection of such data in beyond India's means. <br /><br />To SRINIVASA NANDURI: If OFJ is working on such a project, it would have been shown in that India Today programme. <br /><br />To RAM BHARADWAJ: The LSPs will all be used for flight testing of new software upgrades to the digital flight-control computer.Prasun K.

The no of infantry-carrying BMP-2s per mech inf battalion is 70. Add to this the specialised vehicles like armoured ambulance, comms relay vehicle, command post vehicle & CMT plus the EME's holdings of specialist vehicles like AAD & AERV. Therefore, under no circumstances can the IA possess 46 mech inf battalions. It's no use arguing against what is an exact science & no amount of dubious weblinks or resources can be put bforth as undeniable material evidence.Prasun K.

So take the number 2,827 as the number of BMP-2s available today & then find out how many BMP-2s are serving with each Mech Inf Battalion & that will give us all the total number of operational Mech Inf battalions. There is just no need to engage in assumptions, speculations & conjecture. <br /><br />To VIJAY: If MBRLs had no utility along the LoC, then why were they put to use during OP Vijay in 1999? <br /><br />To VED: The Dhanush-45 is ready for service induction now, whereas the ATAGS is still another 4 years away from entering the user-trials stage.
