In the case of heavy fighters I like what Indonesia has done and is continuing to do, first they went for the su-27 then Su-30 now they are negotiating su-35s.
Imagine that.

Heavy Fighters are good until NASS ensures they remain hangar queens

Spot on

If it were up to me..Twin GP Frigates and Quadruple FACs(50-60m) and we can rest easy

We can’t rest after that, I don’t think we can match our enemies out at sea, we should invest in anti ship missiles, both land based and launched from aircrafts (think about what Argentina did to the British).

yes in a complementary role but also invest in naval vessels

1. missile boats / corvettes

2. multi purpose frigates

3. submarines

4.ASW corvettes

We can't match our 'major' enemy militarily missiles or angels..Pacts, Politik And Economy can only do that
What I meant with rest easy is that their puppets around would think thrice b4 accepting a script

And yes subs.. but honestly I think our problems would never come from sea but Land

Mega bases are now the in thing, his is China by the way

Odunayaw:
Can u shed more light as per the EDKT?

The EDK detects all kinds of explosives very accurately in the field. The explosives could be of any combination of nitroesters, nitramines, trinitrotoluene, dynamite or black powder. Based on the principles of 'colour chemistry', the kit uses reagents that trigger chemical reactions to detect type of explosive by the resulting colour. A few drops or a blast of atomised reagents on suspected explosive material can accurately confirm or deny the presence of explosives like TNT, PETN or RDX. The kit comes in various forms and sizes .

Over a 100k tons of ordnance! You can see burning arty shells cooking off.

Ukraine originally said unknown saboteurs blew up the military depot storing about 138,000 tonnes of ammunition, but at a press conference Poltorak said the Russian military or its loyal separatist rebels were thought to be responsible.

The truth is during a large scale war, most of these equipments will be targeted by shipped launched cruise missiles or air attacks

DRDO 105MM light field gun

DRDO upgraded 130mm artillery gun to 155mm caliber

DRDO scientist Ravindra Singh talking about features of Laser Cross Section Measurement & Imaging System at Maritime Exhibition being organised at IFR Village in Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam: It's named LACSMI, pronounced Laxmi — the Goddess of prosperity and wellbeing - and not without reason. It holds the potential to ensure that warships, tanks and other weapons platforms manufactured in the country can have exactly the right stealth capabilities to evade laser and infrared guided bombs and missiles.

The Laser Cross Section Measurement & Imaging System (LACSMI), developed by Laser Science and Technology Centre (LASTEC) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation was unveiled at the maritime exhibition at Visakhapatnam held as part of the International Fleet Review 2016.

Most of the Indian Navy's latest warships possess stealth capabilities but till now there was no way of measuring exactly how much is good enough to fool the laser seekers. It will be LACSMI's job to carry out imaging of ships as well as tanks and other military vehicles to find the 'hotspots' that give away their location to the enemy.

"This technology is in a nascent stage worldwide and no such system is reported in open literature or available inventory of any developed nation's armed forces. This was developed indigenously and is an excellent example of 'Make in India' efforts. Electro-optically guided precision strike munitions, commonly known as laser guided and infrared guided munitions have proved how lethal they are in recent conflicts around the globe. In laser-guided munitions, the target is illuminated by a laser designator and laser seeker head installed within the bomb or missile. They make use of laser-scattered radiation from the targets to command the weapon to strike with remarkable precision. Such weapons are widely used nowadays and pose an increasingly serious threat to strategic targets. In order to modify existing platforms to make them stealthier or design new generation stealth platforms, a system which can measure and record laser signature was required;" says Dr Ravindra Singh, project director at LASTEC.

Singh added: "It can provide online and offline laser signature measurement, generate laser 3D images, identify hotspots and automatically video track sea and airborne targets. It also has the capability to give motion compensated laser signature and 3D images, which is contemporary technology developed for the first time ever."

Madhuri Yadav, who has been working closely with Singh, says that the system was developed in 2014 but took a while to test and adjust. Now, it will be set-up on Dolphin Hill at the naval dockyard in Visakhapatnam.
