I think this guy needs to take an in-voluntary break. There are acrimonious arguments and then there is hitting below the belt and getting into which community's naval officer is related to me. If I got personal I do apologies. But I don't think I have ever done that on Mil. This is pretty serious. ...

In this instance....ALL the IAS babus hated their experience, I guess this was the only time they ALL agreed on something. For you to have a pleasent experience either you have the right mindset from the start...or you were actually treated well. In my vignette...I guess both did not happen. Tanaji:...

Kancha: Keeping with the fine traditions of BR, please contact your neighbourhood IAS officer and ask them if they had a military attachment and if so how long. I was only a fly in the wall in this conversation. Sachin: The Tambram/Mallu generation of IAS almost over, they are the MOST visible becau...

George J

The elaboration would be most welcomed! Well the crux of the story (the shortest version) is E_G_O. The story goes that when these IAS babus were young, pure and impressionable and in their training days in LBS Massori, they have to do military attachment which lasts for a month or so. Usually it's...

Ray: If I could openly come out and tom tom what I know, I would have done it when I posted the link itself. I could have gone in detail to explain the purpose of the two awkward placed flat panel at it was explained to me. I know and have seen enough on multiple ships to know that Ajai Shukla got i...

so loosely can we say large aperture == wide; small aperture == tele? or zoom no zoom Two different issues. Aperture is the opening of the diaphragm in your lens. Your camera has a shutter and your lens has a diaphragm. The shutter speed determins how long the shutter open. E.G 1/100th of the secon...

...........If my understanding of IAS,IPS is correct they too are a very tradition and precedent bound group. Their batches, cadres etc. are too important for them. Have heard about few fightings because of some one from a lower batch reaching a senior rank (bypassing senior batches) etc. Not anymo...

George J

Nope....Navy is ghar-ki-murgi ......I only like MKI. I will agree to whatever tall tale tsarkar tells if he can get me back to Lohegaon....Engine room...laundry room....all fine. :D But I like cake.....those Hamla trained chefs can sure bake a good cake (IAF chaps only serve you nimbupani ...but sip...

George J

Again the credit for it goes to Shiv or Jai S or whoever was kind enough to scan the article and post it on rapid share. And since we keep regressing back to MKK vs MKI here is another DIRECT quote from the same reference ........The MKI variant is a much more advanced fighter jet than the basic K a...

George J

........George, you did not provide the link (is it Fomin?) and thats why I didn't mention it earlier. Or is it MSM?......... Fomin(1998) really does not say much about the MKI because it was still in gestation at the time Fomin (1998) was written/translated, but Fomin is VERY VERY good on Su-27 de...

George J

Hmmm....so I post the EXACT reference for co-cured co-bonded fins and co-bonded center fuselage and people still use riff raff links??? Nice....

George J

George,it was quite a while ago and at that time pics were taboo,for obvious reasons.Strangely,being the first time we got permission thanks to a senior naval officer,we never even asked! ................ I'm sure.Navy Day is fast approaching and ships and installations are usually thrown open to t...

George J

Not to mention a BR Bombay meet where we visited several ships and a sub many moons ago and weer shown vital innards. That's awesome....so where are the pics? :twisted: I am sure you won't disappoint me, you would have pic of ops rooms and engine rooms from at least one of these "several ships...

The Su-30MKI has all metal structures like wing spars and wing boxes, air intakes, fairing skins and fairing blocks, co-cured and co-bonded fins and center fuselage components, elevators, rudders and its torque shafts, ailerons, belly fairings, landing gear doors, ceramic thermal barrier linings an...

Chetak:
Sorry apparently I was mistaken apparently this jingo's "uncle" is a submariner with a diving badge and para wings, talk about an over achiever.

George J

There is no bloodletting, tsarkar is right......if I ever get to meet him I would certainly have a beer with him. But that still does not mean I will let him get away with incorrect information/assessment merely on the basis of shiny brouchers. In this instant....Ajai Shukla is absolutely correct an...

George J

That post was neither directed to you nor did it solicit a response from you. If you feel the urge to respond I cannot stop you nor do I expect you to comprehend what "uncle" means. So whatever award you want to bestow on me really is irrelevant to me but if it floats your boat you can cal...

Quito, Mariscal Sucre Airport is at 9224 ft (depending on who you refer)

On the Mig-29 issue: They said REbuilt not built. So it would extensive overhaul. Anyway since you guys are too lazy to find the AWST June 2001 issue I guess I have to do it. On the Dhruv: According to the Milphotos Forum this happened at 13,000 ft so it could be as much the men in the loop as the m...

Ok for now I will stick to "While there is a rumoured capability(link to ACIG) to carry the RVV-AEE (R-77), There has not been a public confirmation of the same " . (Till we find a picture or that article) I can discard that 350 RD33 story without any second thoughts I would guess. No sin...

George J.. I got the pics vetted by somebody from the navy, and I think tsarkar is right... Executive Branch As an officer of the Executive Branch one can exercise command of ships, submarines and aircraft. Executive officers can specialise in any of the following:- (a) Gunnery & Missiles (b) N...

George J

I have to agree with Baldev, Fred Willemsen's KB715 seems to be carrying R-27 training round with the fins removed and that angle makes it look like an R-77. Look at Ken Sekhon's pic posted by Bala. The explanation could be that Fred took his pic just before departure while Ken took his pic when it ...

Jagan: Yes....master. But come on.... this guy has the gall to "invite" me for a drink to US club....can I at least tear him a new one for that? We know that he is never going to come up with Ops Room pics coz he does not have any but he considers himself fully qualified to rubbish the one...

George J

.......at the very least a pic of an Indian MiG-29 and an RVV-AE sharing the same bed (i.e display space) would suffice. Ok then i am going senile......if NO ONE ELSE remember the Mig-29 + RVV-AE pic then what is the point. But I could have sworn....oh well. If I find it...I am exiling you to the H...

George J

I think Harry got that independently. So either I am turning senile but I could have sworn there was a Mig-29 on display with an RVV-AE, it was a minor discussion many years ago. I would like to say Mumbai airshow but there is no such pic there. Also lets get the time lines on the RVV-AE correct. Th...

Since we are regressing: N019 Sapfir-29 (Baseline) N019E Rubin (export version of Sapfir) N019M Topaz (better ECCM and BITE) N019ME Topaz (export version) N010 Zhuk or Sapfir-29M not to be confused with N001 Meich or Sapfir-27 for the Su-27 Jagan, There is a 2003 ACIG reference that says all Mig-29 ...

He's taken enough of a break. He should return. To what? We are back to discussing things that we discussed 5 years ago....because janta don't know how to use Google.

Actually I am glad CM brought up Fomin. Only Fomin 1998 was published in English, Fomin 2000 was supposed to be only published in Russian. But even then unless Fomin is quoting Chepkin its pretty much moot, coz Chepkin's company still maintains 12,500 Kgf on NPO Saturn Website. http://www.npo-saturn...

.........Still far from the 13300 thrust figure. For the final time.......WHO SAID it was 13,300? Whoever said that has to prove it, BRF is not meant for people to start wild goose chases. And there are only THREE types of information that are considered proof (OEM/IAF/RMAF, OEM infoboard, OEM boss...

You need to be banned for spoon feeding. :D And that's not the info board that I was talking about. Anyone who posts MK-1 needs to be tarred and feathered. There is a IAF plaque placed before an MKI which talks about thrust and since that's IAF plaque THEY are responsible for its content this once c...
