However, remedial measures are taken by the OEM only when deficiencies are OFFICIALLY brought to the notice of the OEMs. In this case, that hasn't happened and neither the OFB nor BEL have received any negative feedback about their products in use in Nepal and Sri Lanka. The Dhruv ALH did have some fundamental design flaws that were rectified way back in early 2006.Prasun K Senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369323150694008798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154280302945875495.post-42418252394302261412008-11-25T08:57:00.000-08:002008-11-25T08:57:00.000-08:00P K Sengupta said:Officially, I have not seen any ...P K Sengupta said:<BR/><BR/>Officially, I have not seen any complaint being lodged by the govts of either Nepal or Sri Lanka about the quality of India-supplied weapons.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I say:<BR/><BR/>Utterly untrue.

Indian side were Indian hackers club and NEO and a few other unorganized people, Pak side was Pak GeForce and Dr. Nuker. In all around 700 indian sites and 200 pakistani sites were hacked. It reached its peak when Indians released the Yaha virus that kept Paki servers down for around 4 months! Thats how deadly it was. It was just replicating in Pakistani servers (like Karachi stock ex. server, and few more govt ones) and Islamabad could not get rid of it. They called in western experts who finally removed it. <BR/><BR/>After the Yaha attack, both of the Pakistani Groups then settled issues with NEO, an Indian hacker to conclude that 5 years running Cyber war.<BR/><BR/>Now, HMG (aka Hindu Militant Group) is at a stand off with PCA (Pak Cyber Army).

The Sri Lanka Navy is very happy with the OPV and AOPV that it acquired a few years ago and now wants more of them. The Sri Lanka Air Force too is very happy with the training and MRO services provided by the IAF and IRAL for the SLAF MiG-27Ms and Mi-17V-5s and the yet-to-arrive MiG-29SEs. Similarly, I have yet to come across any problems being faced by either Nepal or Sri Lanka regarding weapons of Chinese or Pakistani origin. The problems are usually faced by them (and also by Myanmar) whenever they contact Ukrainian MRO companies for spares support as the Ukrainians are known to be extremely unreliable in this respect.Prasun K Senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369323150694008798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154280302945875495.post-84523461411374741052008-11-24T10:54:00.000-08:002008-11-24T10:54:00.000-08:00ref abovesorry guys, it's offline now.

The third batch of Su-30s supplied to the IAF were the Su-30MKI Mk1s and they have now been upgraded to Mk3 standards with new mission software updates that enable them to launch weapons of non-Russia origin such as the Israeli Popeye Lite. The first and second batch of Su-30K/MKs (all built by IRKUT Corp at Irkutsk)have been re-acquired by Russia at a fair price and these are probably destined for Belarus after Russia has refurbished them. ALL Indonesian Su-27SKs, Su-30MKs and Su-30MK2s are coming from KNAAPO, and not from IRKUT. Regarding the pwerformance rating of the AL-31FP I would rather stick to the figures officially given out by the OEM, rather than rely on second-source French figures.Prasun K Senguptahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369323150694008798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154280302945875495.post-16373014142929744032008-11-24T08:51:00.000-08:002008-11-24T08:51:00.000-08:00indo-pakistan war is brewing. because OGRA website...indo-pakistan war is brewing. because OGRA website was hacked, pakistanis have hacked some indian sites. some remain hacked, some have been unhacked by Indians.<BR/><BR/>Check these out:<BR/><BR/><A>http://www.iirs.gov.in/</A><BR/><BR/><A>http://www.kvrtm.org.in/</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154280302945875495.post-69779391636756528932008-11-24T08:00:00.000-08:002008-11-24T08:00:00.000-08:00Another is; why is Saturn AL-31FP turbofan rated d...Another is; why is Saturn AL-31FP turbofan rated differently according to Russian and French standards?<BR/><BR/>Russian standards rate its thrust:weight (ratio) at 8.1, while French rate it at 6.97.<BR/><BR/>Why would there be a difference when thrust and weight are linear measurements that?

Only from later batches we were getting full-spec SU-30MKI with Saturn AL-31FP engine and other add-ons.<BR/><BR/>So it means India should have around 30 Su30K/MK in addition to the fleet of MKIs.<BR/><BR/>The question is; what has been done with these (inferior) fighters?
