Ukrainian gas turbines, apparently.not to mentioned the engine as well
Wait are the numbers accurate? 1.2 billion is a ridiculous price. Or are they including life cycle maintenance cost in the calculation?
I kinda even doubt India can reach 5 trillion nominal this decade (by 2030). And even if they did, still doesn't get around the fact that they have to buy stuff from other nations (which is way costlier compared to what China can do) and, uh, their local stuff is way too overpriced as well lol.Also, after India becomes +5 trillion dollar economy and surpasses western countries and Japan for good they'll eventually are seen as "regime" and western countries can squeeze Indian military capabilities due Indians getting hamged on it for decades to come.
Agreed. For India to become 5T USD economy they need to grow 8% per year until 2030 which is unprecedented in all of Indian history, and will be much harder due to climate change and COVID now.I kinda even doubt India can reach 5 trillion nominal this decade (by 2030).

@Temstar bro if you ask any Indian their responds are it was part of design and the performance is impressive but from an expert point of view that is a wobbly ship.Is that wake normal? The bow of the ship seems to be bobbing up and down to an unusual degree?
