@idrwalerts Why should this facility be funded and developed by Govt? The private firm part of AMCA should be establishing this facility as part of programme. If this is not done then the purpose of including private partner will be defeated IMO🙏
@alpha_defense If things are asked for the future reply is no such capability exists.. finally the services have to suffer and uniform person has to pay with his life..
@Gopnik_kun@alpha_defense Reverse engineering Tak khi nahi aukaat rakhne wale future QRs khi baat he na Kare… meaning people with no capability to provide current technology should not talk about future QRs.
@BeAPro10550532@alpha_defense Good question!!! No where foreign IRST procurement for LCA Mk2 has been mentioned.. it was always DRDO design and developed IRST and MAWS for Mk2
@BharatNitiHQ@alpha_defense Then do what with the platform.. get air borne and get shot.. remember it’s LCA Mk2 having many LRUs and structural components same as LCA Mk1&A. The delta was IRST MAWS etc which itself is not coming
@DefenceDecode So a private d industry has procured Land made infrastructure manufactured all toolings and produced and assembled the first aircraft in 5 years.. now should we compare it with HAL established for last 70 years..
At Ran Samwad, Air Cmde MPS Virk highlighted the importance of ISR integration for achieving information superiority in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). Addressing current interoperability gaps across services, he emphasised an “architecture-first” approach built on data standards, metadata discipline, and seamless data fusion. He also outlined a future AI-enabled Combat Cloud, integrating sensors, ISR networks, and command systems to create a Common All-Domain Operational Picture and deliver faster, more informed decision-making on the battlefield.

@alpha_defense@Flanker30MKI Factually everything seems to be incorrect about this!!!! It’s a nice try tough.. because of no clarity from ADA and HAL everybody is taking footage.. Since it’s Govt funded project ADA & HAL should combining provide status of project atleast once in a quarter
My wife and I were having dinner at a restaurant in Bengaluru.
There was a young couple sitting next to us. You could tell it was a special night.
We overheard bits of their conversation..New job, finally some stability, something worth celebrating.
They looked genuinely happy.
Then their bill came.
The card didn’t go through.
They tried another. Declined.
You could see the shift instantly. The smiles faded. They started quietly discussing what to remove, what they could actually afford.
My wife looked at me.
I didn’t say anything.
Just called the waiter and asked him to add their bill to ours.
We told him not to mention us.
Just say it’s taken care of.
We left before they could turn around.
Didn’t want a thank you.
Just wanted them to finish their night the way it began.
We forgot about it.
Three years later, a letter arrived at our home. Somehow, they had tracked us down.
The waiter remembered us.
Helped them find us.
The letter said they were getting married.
That night, the one we barely remembered… was their first proper date after months of struggle.
Their first moment of relief after a long, difficult phase.
They wrote:
“Someone paying our bill made us believe that good people still exist. We carried that feeling through everything that came after.”
They invited us to their wedding.
We didn’t know them.
But we went anyway.
They introduced us to everyone..
“These are the people who showed us kindness when we needed it the most.”
We danced at their wedding.
We teared up during their Vows.
Somehow, we felt like family.
Today, they have a baby.
They send us pictures, festival wishes, little updates from their life.
And we’re a part of their story… because of one small moment.
Sometimes family isn’t blood.
It’s just people who chose to see you.
