Russia India Engine Deal I Mig 29 New Engine I Sqn Ldr Vijainder Thakur I Aadi 

This is a brilliant conversation. Sir is a master in Russian weapon systems. There is absolutely no doubt that Indian companies never capitalised on their relationships with Russian companies to develop their capabilities and learn. Import lobbies ensured India always continued to import.

Thank you sir, It was very informative. Hard to digest we ignored engine Technology unlike missiles, I smell the ecosystem of the past, thrived on creating dependency, and making India dependent. And show off new toys,..as achievements

My blood boils when I think of the number of years wasted by our previous governments and the PSUs! So irresponsible, unaccountable and unimaginative.

I agree with Sqn ldr thakur totally. We shd have kept working once we got the initial Seed Tech of engines/Jet and shd have tried to first master full tech of Mig 29 and Su 30 MKI including their engines like we r doing it for Brahmos. China did the same. West wont give u any tech , we shd remember . Even buying their Weapon directly is very tedious . They dont like to sell it to us who has half platforms from Russia half from Israel half from france. They will sell only if we had totally 100% western ecosystem. I can guarantee they wont even sell us F16 without creating all the drama. We shd integrate our defence tech with russians infact. Russia needs funds they dont have lack of talent or research. In times of USSR they wer infact creating systems which use to blow of west. THeir Space tech was much much ahead than west. Spacex merlin engines are based on Russian Neutron rocket engines infact. Spacex bought them from russia first. Both space an defence of India shd be intgrated with russia. We shd try to work jointly on newer Engines and other Tech needed for AMCA and than Indai shd use those to make our own AMCA. russia can use them in their jets. Infact india shd have worked with Russia to develop Newer High thrust Methalox Rocket engine for our NGLV rocket. we shd target for 100 TOnne payload rocket now like spacex Starship If we want to build base on moon. China-russia are already planning to take Nuclear reactor to moon by 2035

Sqn Ldr Thakur should do podcasts with people who have military background and expertise.

Very good video Vijainder ji spoke blunt truth nobody and no country will give TOT to India. Russia and only Russia will help - MODI SHOULD KNOW WHO ARE TRUE FRIENDS OIL PURCHASE BY INDIA WAS BOUGHT AT DIRT CHEAP PRICE AND INDIA MADE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Jai shree Ram 🙏🙏🙏

Love to you God bless you.

Jai Bharat 🙏🙏🙏

Long live the Russian Indian friendship ❤

My dear Aadi, Sq. Ldr. Vijender Singh is top class guest. Please invite him again. ❤❤❤

Kaveri engine went no where due to metallurgy! Hope this new era of army requirement and corporate academic solutions brings in the capability

Jai Hind Jai Bharath 🙏

Very good news, about Russian jet engine. "Purna dost aur purani chawal hamesha kam aati Hai"

From @12:30 till @14:00. Sqn Ldr Thakur expresses his puzzlement as to why HAL did not progress towards the total indigenization of the engines. For quite some time, I, too, have had the same puzzlement. My hypothesis is that 1. They fight shy of any changes where blame can attach to them in case of field failures. 2. Vendor development is difficult. It needs engineers with tech skills, the attitude of an experimental scientist, and personality traits to break down inter-(and intra-)organizational barriers. Maybe HAL lacks such people. All engineering is an art. Some, like aircraft jet engines, are black art. Learning the secret "incantations" will entail failures. At the national level, we have to learn to work our way thru the failures. Instead of just keeping it as a task for HAL, we should have a joint task force headed by engineers from GTRE (I presume they know a great deal more about the science and tech of engines). Metallurgy mech engg, and chemistry that needs to be experimentally investigated could be contracted to IITs and CSIR labs. (As a side effect, this could benefit Kaveri.) Jet engines are made in Koraput. The GTRE is in Bangalore. Should they not be colocated for synergy? For the new MiG-29 engine, GTRE should operate a detachment at Koraput.

Jai hind jai bharat 🙏🏻

Vandemataram...

Hi Adi Achint, can you please make a video on progress of AMCA, 5th gen engines, tejas mk 2 etc ? Basically all future platforms and tech for indian airforce?

Nice conversation

Commission and agent's pressure is the reason that HAL continued with imports from Russia and did not do much for full indigenisation of SU MKI & Mig 29 till Modi ji pushed Atmanirbhar Bharat .

Very informative conversation. Looking forward to the next conversation on repurposing of R73!! Thanks Adi.

What a Information ❤

America is busy still in negotiating and timeline GE wale:Humm to latkhe hi reh gaye.

Super insightful - thank you for getting Thakur sir!!

Very Very rich discussion, policy makers must take note

Please do an episode on Russian submarines.

Jay Bharat

Ram Ram Saa Ram Ram both of you 🙏 💙 ❤️ ♥️

Har Har Mahadev

Every Indian defence channel has dinged HAL for inordinate delays. I wonder why it's not getting privatized and/or having its leadership getting GPLs!

Thanks

Metallurgy technology ke sabse bade missile Bharat forge ki big gan ATGS hai Uski gun pipe dozens of round fire ke bavjud hit nahin Hoti. Bofors aur USA ke kisi bhi ATGS Gun se behtar hai.

Very true when India has 2 world class aircraft in the Mig29 and the Su30mki, why shud they go in for a creiminally expensive Rafale? India shud have indianised both the platforms. The 117 aircraft tender shud be a no brainer and IAF shud have gone in for the Mig 35s with TV. But now since the proverbial horse has already bolted out of the stable, India should now focus on getting the Tejas MK2 in great numbers

Great podcast,my type😊👍

End of the day HAL is a PSU being behind with the world is in the nature

👍👍

Sir's opinion contrsdicts with AIM view about Indigenous fighter jet Tejas.

🙏

❤❤

Vision and future map for the company is created by the leadership/management and not the workers, public or the politicians. This is why HAL has failed. Poor mediocre leadership without vision, ambition or a fighting spirit. Compare Modiji's commitment and vision for India and the commitment of these public sector leadership. They only wake up when their backside is put on fire. Now the Turkey's 5th gen fighter is putting the blow torch on DRDO and HAL's backside.

The data is wrong, pakistan got the F 16 before we got the Mirage 2000 and the Mig 29.

COULD THIS ENGINE BE FITTED TO TEJAS MK1A AND TEJAS MK2.

Russians have not asked for Brahmos. They have better hypersonic missiles. India tried to sell Brahmos to Russia, and they declined it.

AWESOME NEWS!! MK3 Tejas and New-HF42-Marut can be built as TEF jets on these engines now!!!

Hmare log bhut angrez bnty h 😂😂

Hm Bageswar baba ka shakti ka use kyu nhi krte he technology ko jaanne me data jaanne me secret technology wo bta sktebh❤

We have 66 mig 29

Sir make your voice little loudeer

If Russia proposes full ToT, is the Mig35 a cost effective proposition for MRFA?

Discussion proved that HAL is nothing more than assembling plant

Excellent knowledge

Please speak in Hindi कृपया हिंदी में बोले

Brahmos is not solely Indian. The heart of Bahmos is Russian.

Guru ji Hindi m video bnaya kro 🙏🙏

If HAL were wise and clever they would have made their improved versions of MIG 29 and SU 30 MKI like the China .

Bharat should manufacture weapons, develop technology in Bharat and made them in collaboration with Russia and buy from Russia but should never buy from Bully america. Buying weapons from america means helping economy of Criminal america. Bharat should Not collaborate with Backstabber america for weapons manufacturing. Also america weapons are expensive. american weapons r less advanced technically as compared to Russia. american weapons are much hyped. Russia transfer technology to Bharat without any conditions but this is not the case with america. america put too many restrictions on weapon usage,where as Russia always give free hand. In case of war backstabber, untrustworthy america can stop supply of weapons,can increase price of weapons,also can activate killer switch of weapons. Whereas trustworthy Russia never betrayed Bharat and always provide most sophisticated weapons to Bharat. Evil america ke Sath koi bhi collaboration nahi Karna chahiye. america sirf Bharat ko use karna chahta hai against China, aur Bharat ko Russia se dooor karna chahta hai so that america apni goondagardi continue rakhe paye. But Russia, Bharat, China ko Sath mein aana hi Hoga to counter western countries (Evil forces of the World).

Thorah punjabi /hindi v bol lavo, jai Hind, Jai shri Ram 🙏

Sir with my respect I want to say that instead of buying sukoi we should invest on Miraj is good deal France was ready to supply it's production line to india Miraj are more reliables than sukoi fighter sukoi abability rate was only 35to 45percent in case of Miraj avability was 75percent and Miraj engins are more durable than sukoi mki so why we can't consider in Miraj sukoi is heavy fighter Miraj is lighter although France alocoffer twin engine Miraj called Miraj 4000 is Russian lobby is strong aur gov wekness aur secret deals we have already buy rubish dumps like mig23 mig27 and mig 25fox bat although fox bat was secret operation mig 29are fair but weak servislity low span engins

WE MUST PRIVATISE THE HAL PLANE MANUFACTURING WITH THE STRICTEST OF GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION AND REGULATIONS IN PLACE!!🙏🙏🙏🚩🚩🚩

When Turkey, South Koreans are making their Aircrafts and doing timely modification why can't we do it. Import mentalities lobbies are to be sidelined and we should go all out to make our competitive best one. I think, the present regime doing it.

This is the same russia who rejected india technology transfer in su57 project partnership. What happened to AK203? russia is good friend but their laid back attitude is too much to handle and their technology is lagging behind.

Sar aap log Hindi mein kariye

Russian are conman they will give arms in cheap. But the spares parts and maintenance cost is bomb

He started working with IAF in 1974. Tell me what is his age now? Probably touching 70 but look how "soumya" he looks like

Waiting for someone to tell me why this engine deal.

India should sell brammos to Russia to increase our rupee trade

HAL never upgraded MiG 29 it was IAF

HAL was plagued by old KHANGRESI inefficiency. It was waiting for MODI'S kick at its back.

HAL should be privatised

India ko bahut kam aur bahut sahi time sahi baat ko karne ke habits hi kuchh helis jar sakte hai Just US ke opposite UK ke opposite jab tak aise na ho bahut misleaded misguidings hone toh

HALis just lazy and do not want to make the effort to improve India Technology. It is a shame on HAL for not making the effort to make an engine that is 100% of Indian Technology.

Really is this of any public interest.Quit such topics on public platform.

Unreliable Criminal america se engine deal cancel kar Bharat ko time tested, trustworthy friend Russia se collaborate karna chahiye for all kinds of fighter aircraft engines

Please dont use eng

🔴 Pata nhi kaun angrez sunte hai ye videos, Hindi me bana lo Maharaj, Uspe English Subtitles Laga lo, Public ke liye Aasan ho jaega 😑

😴boreing

Engine ke bare Mai jada kuch nahi bataya,bus politics Target ki gai hai indrict 😂,

Sir, I think HAL needs competition. A new company with private /public partnership or totally private with inputs from HAL should be set up and they need to get into competition and also augment production capacity.

Pointless upgrade , it’s like swapping a morris engine with an Isuzu engine on a 40+ year old ambassador. Even with modest usage these aircrafts are well past their prime . They are only good to perform secondary role and not as front line planes .

Al-Bakistan uses RD 93-3 a derivative of the RD 33 in the Chinese JF-17s.IAF says that RD 33 is advanced in Mig 29 but call out RD93 for poor performance 😂. What double standards.

Sirji jara hindi me baat kar liya karo 🎉kyu ki apan angrejo ki owlaad nahi hai😂😂😂
