update on GE engines .

US is really pushing stryker on us and people on twitter were claiming it was other way around , we were asking them for it.

high level US plan seem to be to slowly try to replace Russian dependency with US one . like with Ukraine .

RAJNATH in US .. same time as Modi in Ukriane.. Hope Uncle Sam khush hoga.. and unfreeze GE 404..

On the stryker part.. I see 2 US motivations..
1 Increase Indian dependence and commonality with Indian armed forces of course..
2. US and EU have deindustrialized from their cold war peak and have been found wanting in Ukraine.. South Korea is already maxed out in exporting defense equipment to Europe.. So, Uncle Sam also wants Indian production lines for help to compete with Russia China block...

Why even Stryker? Its so random. There are so many things that can be imported from US that makes sense whether Seahawk Helicopters, P8 Poseidon, E-7 Wedgetail, C-130J Super Hercules, Predator Drones, LRASM, Global Hawk. Even so many in Electronic Warfare systems in L3Harris or Raytheon. If they want to derail indigenous products, then still there are so many important projects (Iam not advocating for it). Why a Wheeled Combat Vehicle?

Trump pushed for tax cut on Harley davidson bikes

Democrats are pushing Stryker

Has it got something to do with the US state(s) in which it is manufactured?

Maybe orders are linked to votes

Only Earth trials has been completed. Lunar and Martian trials were pending. NGLV will launch ATAGS as Payload.

US Auto companies will not be coming back to India. And Harley Davidson in India is Hero Davidson.

Just throw some 50 Strykers and order WHAP on huge quantity.

Harley Failed in both India and China and not doing any better in most markets oursite North America!

Asia does not need such heavy big inefficient bikes and Europe has their own big players.

In both India and China HD has partnered with local players and introduced sub 1000cc bikes.

Does anybody know the current status of indigenous towed array sonar program

Afaik, Nagan was the first one and not inducted by Navy due to weight and performance issue.
ALTAS status is really unknown, tech has been transferred to industry but don't know if it has even been ordered or not. But the recent news of license produce of foreign towed array sonar pretty much confirms the inadequacy of this sonar as well, whether it is the performance or the towing mechanism, we don't know.
In the last tech focus, saw drdo releasing tender for making twin line towed array sonar. But that looks like more for performance in shallow water like for ASW-SC.
Also, LFDS is also facing issue as confirmed by the navy itself and none has been ordered for maritime dhruvs.

Things we are doing good in are torpedoes, sonobuoys and hull mounted sonars. All have passed navy trials and have been ordered.

Yeah no matter how much Pro-Atmanirbhar Iam, I think we have to give some concession to Big Biradher here. Since buying goes two ways. Because you know Big Biradher is the biggest export customer of India's Defense Exports clocking in at 50%. Not counting the huge domestic market there which Indian Small Arms Munitions have been steadily growing. Unlike momentary situationary customers like Armenia or Philippines some other Gulf country where exports are a one time wonder, USA is a steady customer because of sub-components imported from here regularly.
Unlike Uncle Sam's State Department being jerk, their MiC/Defense somewhat were/are proactive in investing or sourcing subcomponents in India. This is in contrast to European Maggots who don't invest a dime. Well regarding Stryker situation my only comforting situation is that even Mighty Japanese are gonna be imported some Finnish Wheeled Combat Vehicle Patria Nemo(Maybe Desi Mentality).

U have a tons of item to import ranging from p-8i to Chinook to istar to c-130j to other big ticket purchases
But they are still insisting on a deal that would be fraction of above
Why bcoz they deliberately want to kill indian armoured vehicle industry and if a nation that shouts it's policy independence and can't protect its industry then it's just jumla we are being fed
Ur sword and industry shouldn't on the table of negotiation no matter what
Imagine the trauma the scientists will go who have spent their career to built it and constantly update it depending on army's draconian trails
What msg will go to domestic industry why would they take part in DcPP when they know how weak govt is wrt it's industry
