http://ww...To RAJ: You will find the answers here:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9jCpOqAlvN8<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fhtb19cjvVw#t=0<br /><br />To BHASWAR: During a warship’s construction period, the NSQR is subject to frequent changes & consequently the equipment fit also changes. Don’t be surprised by what the P-15B DDG will eventually morphe into.<br /><br />To SARATH KUMAR: 1) Most probably next fiscal year. 2) Tejas Mk2 is still on the drawing boards. Almost the entire fuselage is being redesigned & re-engineered. EW suit & HMDS were already pre-selected. F414 turbofans will start arriving next year. 3) Depends on that country’s fiscal situation, which is quite bad in any case. Deploying 300,000 soldiers for low-intensity conflict along its western borders for the next 6 years will not leave any extra money for force modernisation. 4) Not cancelled, but deferred. 5) Most unlikely. The Arabs want a monetary transaction & will never give away such hardware for free, while Pakistan is bound by strict IMF regulations that prevent Pakistan from buying such hardware. 6) Delayed, & is likely to surface only in the following decade. 7) No way. 8) What for? Unlike China which has global ambitions & it has therefore conceptualized a global constellation for its Beidou GPS navigation satellites, India has only regional ambitions. <br /><br />To ABS: As K Natwar Singh has recently admitted on TV, India has after 1947 never embraced realpolitik as her core stratagem. That’s why India on one hand ignored Tibet’s plea for preserving its independence & sovereignty, while those same principles were not applied to the Palestinian issue. And that’s why the nautanki/tamasha gets played about celebrating the anniversary of Panchsheel when this agreement expired in June 1962. India still continues to waste resources & time on coming up with this:<br /><br />http://www.mea.gov.in/Uploads/PublicationDocs/191_panchsheel.pdf<br /><br />To ABS & BHASWAR: Just look at the following:<br /><br />SAS’ OP Nimrod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI3HY7g0MDU<br /><br />GIGN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9tOqUttMyU<br /><br />GSG-9 Documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nobIwkgapU8&list=PLMGttrGPQIpOs-vcYnqpyLVl1YvUZolzL<br /> <br />Now ask yourselves these:<br /><br />1) Why does the GIGN & GSG-9 & the SAS believe in maintaining a high tempo of operations, instead of training everyday insides their barracks like the NSG of India does?<br /> <br />2) Is it viable for the NSG to be used only once every decade for actual anti-terrorist operations?<br /><br />3) Unlike the SAS or GIGN or GSG-9 which are sea/air/land-capable, why is the NSG reduced to being just an outfit meant for overland operations? What happens if a boat is hijacked over riverine terrain? What happens if a container carrier gets taken over by terrorists while it is docked in a port?Prasun K.

It is impossible to localise the production of components for such a small number of marine-industrial gas-turbines that are in service. INS Vikrant was NEVER delayed due to the LM-2500s. The Project 17 FFGs’ commissioning schedules were delayed NOT BY any US citizen (Obama included), but by HAL’s inability to file the paperwork on time with the US State Dept. <br /><br />To PAWAN: VLF comms facilities can always be attacked by LACMs or even by land-based saboteurs. There’s always a standby system, i.e. SATCOM.<br /><br />To Mr.RA 9: Nope, that will not be the case. The IAF is now resigned to the fact that come what may, the R%afales will be inducted into service first. It is the FGFA whose induction schedule will be delayed by at least a decade. Do watch these for further insights:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9jCpOqAlvN8<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fhtb19cjvVw#t=0<br /><br />To JOYDEEP GHOSH: The anonymous writer of that ridiculous story can’t even recollect that <br />During the Depsang incident, Salman Khurshid, not S M Krishna, was India’s Foreign Minister. And the less said about the rest of the contents, the better.<br /><br />To S THAKUR: And now, to add to that, hypocrites like K Natwar Singh have added fuel to the fire through his outrageous autobiography. Where exactly do such senile people get off their high horses is anyone’s guess.<br /><br />To RA12: At best it resembles a cottage industry-like facility of the 1960s.Prasun K.

What parts are being manufactured in India and how much still comes from GE US? <br /><br />I remember INS Vikrant (new) was delayed because Obama government had put some restrictions on LM-2500 engine supply. Wondering whether if there is a repeat of this, will HAL still be able to produce this engine?<br /><br />Thanks and best of luck in whatever you are busy in.<br />R Rajeev Chaturvedinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-58985297706793197392014-08-02T11:25:03.884+05:302014-08-02T11:25:03.884+05:30If Prasun Ji is busy, that is okay.
