These are some of India's newest weapons like the T-90S tanks known as Bhisma in India.Pinaka systems of which India is inducting 45 in service.

**soutikghosh** · 08-30-2006

India is procuring another 60 TUNGUSKA systems in addition to the numbers it already has. These will be inducted to form two rapid reaction regiments. The mine proof vehicle you see is an Indian made Casspir clone. This has been made with the help of South Africans. India has around 410 FH-77B Howitzers which it has procured from Sweden in late 80s.Sweden is also in the race for the on going artillery trial for the supple of 1500 artillery guns for which it has fielden it's ARCHER Systems.I will post images of Archer in a day or two.

here comes SU-30MKI again

**soutikghosh** · 08-30-2006

SU-30MK defeated USAF F-15C in the recently concluded exercise by 95%. These were SU-30MK and not the SU-30MKI. SU-30MKI is a custom built aircraft which is far more advanced than SU-30MK

India is going to buy betwee 125-150 MRCA for which the global tender is due to be out somewhere in the next three months. The contenders for this lucrative deal are
1 USA with F-18EF
F-16CD Block-52
F-16EF Block-60(Also on option with custom made India specific model)

2 France with MIRAGE RAFALE

3 Sweden with GRIPEN

4 UK with EF-2000 TYPHOON
and
5 Russia with MIG-35(Custom built India version)

so guys which do you think is the best option for INDIA
looking forward to your opinions.

**Hellfish** · 09-01-2006

I think the MiG-35 would make the most sense, as it probably has some compatibility with the MiG-29s India already operates. However, I would personally like to see them operating F-16s or F-18s.
