Not just engines, Tejas Mk-1A delivery could be hit over key Danish part, now on export blacklist

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I believe India's focus is on maintaining internal and external security to support economic growth. For this, the ability to carry out surgical operations inside Pakistan is crucial, as is having a strong air defense system to ensure that no missile or fighter jet can penetrate Indian airspace. This ensures that India remains secure, even in the event of a future nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan.

Ah I see , poke the hornet nest approach , or poke the bear

• Some times turning off the Indian TV set , helps clears mind, too much TV watching does that to people. As the content is quite spicy

But hope Pakistan delegates meet Indian delegates in BRICS from Pakistan side that is where most of the growth in Asia will be

My main cocern is knowing how poorly skilled Indians are, they will bring bad reputation to the US equipment.

Man, seems like you are a bad luck for india. Their navy just lost a leased MQ9B drone!

It's pretty rich coming from a Bangladeshi who can't even manufacture underwear without importing cotton from India, yet they have the audacity to talk about MIC.

Indigenised spares keep Russian origin IAF chopper, transport fleet flying: 3 BRD

Addressing media on topics of 'Make in India' and 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat', Air Commodore Rajeev Shrivastava, Air Officer Commanding (AOC), 3 BRD said indigenisation of many complex spares has been completed and many more are in advanced stages.

“We will be indigenising almost 1,000 parts (of the engine) with the help of local industry. This will also give a boost to the development of engine ecosystem in the country,” said Dr D.K., Sunil, Chairman and Managing Director (additional charge).

Well, instead of acting like a predicable member of indian bot firm. Reply maintaining relevance with my post.

Man, you indians are so shameless that you're trying to flex with your cotton export? India exports cotton because like indian MIC, indian textile industry is also 3rd grade even with indian protectionism. lol
.
Bangladesh purchase cotton with USD. If you don't want that, you know what to do...

Like india, BD doesn't have suppa pawwa syndrome with imported weapons.

India faced some of the harshest sanctions after the 1998 Pokhran nuclear tests, including restrictions on key tech imports. Guess what? That actually pushed India to develop its own capabilities in critical areas like space (ISRO's success), missile tech (Agni, K series missiles, Astra BVRAAM, BMD systems, Pralay, Shaurya, Nirbhay, BrahMos, SMART), indigenous fighter and helicopters, and even nuclear submarines (Arihant class). The sanctions made India more self-reliant, and it’s the same story with advanced systems like DRDO’s missile defense and our own satellite navigation system (NavIC), which reduces dependence on GPS. As far engine charge amplifier for LCA is concerned, the component is currently being indigenized and is in the advanced stages of the process. While it's a setback for now, it will ultimately eliminate another foreign dependency in the long run. So, delaying stuff only drives us to build better solutions at home. You should be more worried about that!

LOL, even your nuke test was using dual use techs from the west.

After sanctions for nuke test, indian military turned to Russia with almost every defense material imported from Russia. Which still can be seen.
.
You're embarrassing yourself by mentioning indian Frankenstein projects with imported components, IPs and software. Your Frankenstein assembly factories must import machineries and softwares from western countries and even China to do these nut-bolt jobs.
.
India must have a big brother to upkeep its military. In past you could use Russian weapons against Pakistan, but now your opponent is China with massive and local MIC and worlds largest industrial production capacity. Russians are fuked in Ukraine too. So you will definitely need American blessings to even have a conventional fighting chance against China.

Terrorizing little South Asian states is one thing and fighting China is a whole new level.

Indian "indigenous" weapons are not really indigenous.

 

[Armchair]

It's actually a concern. In the book "Bear Trap" the CIA is claimed to have said that the Indians are untrustworthy, that they would sell their mothers for the right price.

 

[MirageBlue]

Indigenous replacement already built.

This is where there needs to be a concerted effort to get certain components that are still being imported, to be indigenized.

I know that at times there isn't enough demand within India to get an indigenous option built by an Indian company at times. But with Tejas Mk1A, Tejas Mk2, AMCA, TEDBF and possibly even HLFT-42 on the horizon, there is enough of a business case for Indian companies to invest in design and development of components that have so far not made sense to develop in India due to small production runs.

A much ado about nothing,

Key stuff

Asked why, a source said, “Denmark authorities have put export restrictions on this item, which is likely to be due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. We have taken up the issue through our Indian mission there.”

“It was a small product which was being imported. But now, because of this export blacklisting, HAL has contracted a Bengaluru firm to indigenise it. The firm, we are told, has almost completed it, and then HAL will carry out tests. It can then be mass produced,” a second source said.

Oh, you're really barking up the wrong tree here. DRDO has designed and developed Single Crystal Blades for helicopter engines. These aren’t your average components—this is tech that only a handful of nations can develop. It's vital for high-performance engines. DRDO designed it from scratch, right here in India. MIDHANI is running one of the world’s largest isothermal forging presses. You think that’s easy? This machine is critical for producing top-tier materials used in jet engines and aerospace applications. India has one of the only such setups in the world. Then there's Indo-MIM, a company that’s world-renowned for precision-engineered products. The company has expanded beyond its MIM roots to offer Ceramic Injection Molding, Investment Casting, Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing, Precision Machining, and Automation Solutions. It’s not just a big player in India—it’s the biggest globally when it comes to metal injection molding. The company’s products are used by top manufacturers around the world, from automotive to medical to aerospace sectors.

US trying to pressure Indian industries to avoid exporting certain items to Russia. But isn't it interesting that this is happening because of how strong and influential our defense sector has become? It shows how much Indian companies have grown in the global market. We’re now producing high-quality components that are crucial for things like missile systems and aeronautical parts.

Ah, still living in denial, huh? Let me school you on India's nuclear capabilities. Ever heard of the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam? Probably not. It’s a nuclear reactor designed and built entirely by Indian scientists, showcasing India’s advanced nuclear technology. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill reactor either – it’s based on fast breeder tech, meaning it can actually produce more fuel than it consumes. How’s that for cutting-edge? And guess what, no ‘Western handouts’ involved, it’s homegrown innovation.

Thread 'India's Most Advanced Nuclear Reactor Approaches Finish Line'

Aug 1, 2024

India is close to completing its most advanced nuclear plant, marking a major step forward in the country’s nuclear energy programme.

The Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam in the southern state of Tamil Nadu has received approval from the country's atomic regulator to begin loading nuclear fuel.

The PFBR is a 500MW liquid sodium-cooled reactor which has been in development for the past 20 years. This approval marks the start of a controlled chain reaction in India's most advanced and complex nuclear reactor.
