China is scared of what after Communism, what next? Historically people revert to earlier orders. Eg. Russia reverted to Orthodox Church. For China that would be the Qing dynasty adoption of Tibetian Buddhism. That makes Tawang THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECTIVE for China. Sadly our secular leaders and s...

I am still amazed at how Brazil managed to build an Embraer and we India with so much need are bumbling idiots. Kudos to them on showing what dedicated focus can achieve.

LATAM is ideal for indian defence exports - low volume, not very conflict prone, and does not need cutting edge tech. aligns with indian style of operations.

The American edu system is their single biggest advantage- from grade school to phd - unparalleled in human history IMO - not at this scale atleast.

The have applied their MIC philosophy to it - it needs constant supply of paying students and there are enough willing accomplices

V_Raman

My general mental model is Indians in India are generally rude to others. Only power is respected. People dont show kindness and go into CYA mode at any hint of perceived trouble.

V_Raman

I dont think India is ready for civilian aircraft manufacturing in the league of boeing 737 like aircraft. If they are - even Russia has many options. I really thought India would buy Embraer by settting up some kind of sovereign wealth fund - but that never happened

V_Raman

I dont undertand why soldiers should take mobile phones in wartime - seriously !!

V_Raman

China controls what people can see domestically. So there is no value for western media propaganda on the Chinese mainlanders. So that is the point of all the outrage!

You cannot depend on any one for your war supplies! Better Russia than the west - they dont care who you fight with.

Firstly when did this happen? (ATHOS win) Secondly india does this all the time- Black shark HWT, AW101, Rafale/MMRCA etc etc And it’s all well and good to take the moral high ground but it’s 2022 and what you’re proposing is that they ignore the ATAGS that is fully developed and offers world class...

V_Raman

You cannot hold a competition and just say no we wont buy it as we now have an indigenous alternative. ATHOS-Kalyani offering won the competition. We have to respect that. India has always respected and followed thru on such things unless there was malice involved. Maybe that is the real problem wit...

V_Raman

If I remember correctly there was/is some kind of an agreement between Indian/Isreali side on ATHOS - I would not be surprised if it is procured.

V_Raman

Going by Desportes rule India going for Rafale is suicide - go for Tejas instead at 1:3 ratio

I guess if India can afford both - then its fine...

V_Raman

NRaoji - do you have a Podcast link for that?

V_Raman

This is putting a disproportionate cost on India. Not militarily but politically. So much time wasted by the govt to make statements etc. China seems to have achieved its purpose here - keep the govt on its toes and get distracted. I think the govt did well not to make this a circus in Parliament (...

Why do we need Rampage when we have Prithvi? Isn’t that cheaper and can be spread across geographically ? How you going to carry prithvi under a fighter bomber? Air launched capability provides significant options to the iaf at very long ranges. My guess is that the mki could carry 4-6 of these and...

If the noise around EC dies down then we know a quid pro quo has been reached between Govt and SC for the time being

I dont think even CON expected to actually win in HP!

India is the only country that has owned democracy and turning it against the colonial masters. We are more than capable of dealing with China - regardless of Russia is in its orbit or not. one huge sticking point for India is the diaspora in those colonial countries. It is a double edged sword.

V_Raman

In my assessment the western powers including USA are desperately looking for an OUT here. All the rhetoric seems to have died down and everyone seems to be uttering some kind of peace word.

V_Raman

7-walls is the elite output of BRF.

the Intellectual wall should be enhanced to add "urban naxals"

V_Raman

Window to negotiate peace will be the time when India holds the presidency of G20 as we are the only country with sufficient prestige that will be able to invite Russia in along with others and the outcome will be considered credible by the rest of the world. If the Rus-Ukr peace deal gets signed in...

V_Raman

given what we are seeing in UKR with M777 reliability - our Bofors is a monster! Kudos to the Swedish!!

V_Raman

after the pocket battleship upgrade of IN - all ships should made like that

V_Raman

I almost fell out of my chair reading that! Is that for real

V_Raman

World will celebrate like never if/when anglo/saxons fall IMO. will be equivalent to Narakasura getting slayed.

V_Raman

How can Qatar allow this person to travel in/out of the country freely with interpol notices against him?

this is not right IMO. if a arab can come to the west and get to live as they want including hijab, why cant a westerner come with that t-shirt?

V_Raman

Love is blind sir. you put up with even the worst forms of abuse and this happens world over. very sad indeed

V_Raman

if india is in a position where all fighters are domestic but for the engine in the next 2 decades - that is a great position to be in. work in parallel to get an engine without coupling it with the fighter development

V_Raman

+1 to that. Get the EPE engine and get going on AMCA. Getting a domestic engine along with AMCA - then we will get AMCA only in 2100 !

V_Raman

First thing should be to show these are terror attacks and make it a media frenzy. Then retaliation becomes automatic...

V_Raman

I thought wood and kerosene always sold - they are sold all the time in USA!!

V_Raman

Dosent india have a fleet of oil tankers already with Shipping Corporation of India which is govt owned?

V_Raman

Well i am saying the same thing as you. Why should India worry that someone might rake up kashmir if we play the mediator in Rus/Ukr conflict?

V_Raman

If India is still worried about someone will interfere in Kashmir after all that has happened - then we are NOT worthy to be on world stage. We should be way over that by now.

what is stopping us from using this new F414-GE-400 116kn engine in LCA Mk2 - no contracts have been signed for that yet and this new engine seems plug-n-play replacement for F414-GE-INS6 the tweet is confusing - there seems to be no engine called F414-GE-400 with 116kn thrust and the 116kn one is c...
