Sorry for being behind on this.
What happened to the Akash missile?
I believe that it passed the IAF user trials and order for 100 missiles was placed. But the Army rejected it.

Can you explain that a bit more Manish.

OK. Diagnosis is one thing. How about treatment? Why the antipathy against India? Are we eyeing their territory? Interfering in their internal affairs? Part of the mosaic is the fact that folks feel freer to vent against a relatively peaceful neighbor that will not rain fire on them should it get d...

IMO, it is the elites in the neighboring countries with the most outward antipathy to India. I doubt the same level of anti-Yindianism exists among the commoners (except in TSP and perhaps BD). If it does, we're screwed. Rightly so. As long as the neighbors don't allow outside powers (US, PRC etc) ...

All of these nations, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal were/are afflicted by internal strife. India was just like them not too long ago.

With which nation are these nations in question pally with? The answer is obviously, none. The appear to be close to china because then they can play India vs China and make some money.

The middle and upper class are the most virulent in their hatred. Maybe it is time for Indians to do a bit of introspection as to why we do not have good relationship with any of our neighbours. What causes this deep level of distrust and hatred for India? What are the main historical reasons for t...

That is surely a welcome development, but without some major surgery at HAL, there is no reason for optimism that HAL will learn anything except to ASSEMBLE the engines.

Hello George Welch, Do you mind me asking if you are Indian or American? Also, as another guy noted before, the general consensus on this forum is that we don't want American equipment this time.

Compared to the US, the French have armed the Pakistanis even more.

This sounds exactly like the way Pakis keep on whining over why they are not treated in equal terms with India.
It is a free market economy and a country will sell to whomsoever they feel will be able to pay for the stuff.

My suggestion is that BR should start a special Betting forum for MRCA. Since no one seems knows what IAF is technically looking for and what MoD wants it is as good as playing poker. I suggest we should keep a standard betting amount and the money will go to the people who have selected the correct...

Where is India wrt high energy solid propellants? The Topol-M for example is 22.7m x 1.95m / 47.2 tons / 3 stages / 11000km range / 1.2 ton throw weight.

The ADA website server has collapsed :cry: :cry: . Wait! What difference will that make ?? All it used to do was to update the number of flights! :P :P Maybe someone tried to update it more frequently than once in 2 months and the server got overloaded? No wonder the LCA took so long to build.
