Is there a news item for delay of second engine or it is Open source info

It was reported by a reputed Indian defence channel

Some people may view U.S. blocking engine supplies for the Tejas as a negative move, but I see it as a positive one. Why did India develop a cryogenic engine? Because after 1974 nuclear test, there was a complete sanction on India, which forced Indira Gandhi to invest heavily in the cryogenic engine program. If U.S. stops engine deliveries now, so be it—it will push the Modi government to seriously invest in an indigenous aero engine program.

Pakistan was going 5G in 2022... To become first nation in sooth aisa to du so...

But didn't happened...

Crypto will prove to be scam...
Later some kind of ghotala will happen, then we will hear that crypto is no longer a decentralized, it's owned and regulated by government

Crypto currency was primarily popular among criminals. Now a days, it is quite popular among countries that are under US sanctions. The recent hype about crypto currencies is an attempt to lure investors, that is all there is to it. Yes, the crypto bubble is going to burst sooner than later.

There are several aspects of concerns when dealing with crypto:

a. Any given crypto currency needs to be backed by something, such as US$, in the case of USDT

b. According to the decentralized claim of a crypto currency, the node operators in theory are independent. But, how do we know that someone behind the scene is not coordinating their actions? This is where the real concern is: it can be weaponized.

I’m not against India maintaining trade relations with U.S. and China, but the Indian military-industrial complex should be indigenous and fully independent—just like Russia’s.

When someone linked to upper echolon says this.. I have no doubts! Our losses are minimum if any...

What is the high chance that porkies must have not told chingies about what is stored in kinaari hills, if one believe that it's murican's stockpile and not porkies...
The whole dynamic has changed due to this kambal kuttai of porkies

This assessment is inaccurate. IAF had unchallenged air dominance during Kargil. Way better than in Ops Sindoor. PAF didn't even show up, partly because IAF had better AAMs. There is no bigger testimony of air dominance than the rival air force not willing to show up.

Are the denizens here aware about the #FundKaveriEngine hastag on Twitter. Let us raise our voices for it. Next OP Sindoor should be with our own weapons and against the panda in north.

Why is the back ground noise?

Creating discomfort for the watchers.

I was going through "Project on Nuclear Issues: A Collection of Papers from the 2017 Conference Series and Nuclear Scholars Initiative", a publication by the gora think tank CSIS. According to their analysis, if India struck Muridke (which happened), we would struggle to gain an upper-hand through air-strikes alone (completely inaccurate). And that India would be forced to do a ground assault.

Goras clearly didn't consider the scenario where India can start striking air shafts/vents of Pak nuclear facilities and blow up the tunnels.

This is exactly what I was talking about bifurcating our military budget where at least $3 billion is allocated to each branch just for acquiring new weapon systems.



I hope the news is true. If we would have done this in the last 10 years, things would be different today. IA, IAF, IN each getting $3 billion over 10 years would have been $30 billion investment in each branch of military. Imagine the difference it would have made in our firepower. IAF would have had more aircrafts, IN would have had more submarines and destroyers, IA would have had more artillery guns, rifles etc. We need to continue this for the next 5 years. If we happen to have some wiggle room then target should be $15 billion with each branch getting $5 billion just for weapons acquisition each year.

When 90% of it is used to acquire weapons domestically then we can build many ancillary industries required for building our own military industrial complex. We had no drone industry 10 years ago. But now entire drone ecosystem is taking shape. We had no chip industry 10 years ago. Now, we are building fabs, OSAT plants. We had barely any solar manufacturing 10 years ago. Now, we have the entire ecosystem to build solar panels from end to end. Slow and steady for the next 10 years we would be seeing major changes in diversification of our economy.

A couple of MANPADs would really up the ante for all the Paki drones and planes flying around willy nilly.
Porkis don't understand how vulnerable they can get overnight.

Unlike us, porks rely heavily on rotary wing and sometimes, jets, to fight down insurgencies in their COIN ops.
They don't have the heavy border security nor the capability to hold ground the way our military can solely by infantry.

Can they beat back the Taliban if they're able to target their planes or helis in the sky?

I really doubt it, especially considering how easily Pashtuns would switch sides if push came to shove.
We all know the auqat of Pashtuns living in Pakistan. Just ask the previous PM.

I’m hearing that U.S. is intentionally delaying the delivery of GE F404 engine for Tejas. Frankly, I see this as a good thing—it will push the Indian government to invest billions into Kaveri engine program.
So far, the Indian government has not made any serious investment in its aero engine program.

There were a number of people vehemently against buying GE F404 engines because of USA's history of placing sanctions against India. It was suggested that Russian engines were a better option even though they were slightly inferior to GE engines. Unfortunately though, those who wanted fancy American engines won the debate. The result is in front of us. By the way, China uses Russian engines in its indigenous fighter aircrafts. It has worked out very well for them.

There was nothing wrong with importing American engines—it was a sensible decision. What is truly problematic is the inadequate investment in India's indigenous engine development program. The country doesn't even have a flying test bed yet.

No. I think, it's because pakis did not claim responsibility for the invasion. So, they could not directly help the infiltrators.
