Also, I don't think the Fed govt would let this slide as they have given asylum to several Russian, Ukrainian, Egyptian, Saudi dissidents over the years, an open killing ground would not be good PR. Already the Royally Mounted 'Polis' dished out a statement, "No foul play suspected." Not ...

This is sending a message to all the dissident Bakis who are exiled overseas that it's not just their friends and families within Bakistan, but themselves who are well within reach. I'll not be surprised should the Turdeau regime downplay and quietly bury the entire matter. I'm not entirely convinc...

Under very sketchy circumstances, she goes missing and is reported by the local police as 'Missing'. Approx 24 hours later, the family claims her body has been found in the water by the lakeshore. Police posts follow up tweet 'Located'. So far, not a single Canadian media outlet has reported it exce...

Why do we need a executive brand at all if the activist judiciary takes it upon themselves to approve or disapprove bills passed by the legislature ? The SC has merely 'asked' the Govt if they would be open to the idea of delaying the implementation of the laws subject to being a mediator between b...

With Boeing tasting success with its 737 series as ASW, Airbus might want to push A320 series into some military role. This might be an opening for them. Airbus has been toying the A320neo M3 for sometime now. Remember when they pitched the A319 to IN for a maritime patrol role? Here's a look at th...

A news outlet putting a story out that Turkey will not be granted export licenses for the T-129 sale to Pakistan in light of the looming CAATSA sanctions. It's likely Biden will not veto if it passes the senate with 2/3 majority.

the perception is gaining quickly that the protest is more a zamindari protest. The protests overseas make that amply clear.

Indian immigrants already out number the Khalistanis. They are called Sikhs. There must be all but 20-30k Khalistani sypathisers in the country, Sikhs who have immigrated in the last two decades far exceed them. They have even built their own basement Gurdwaras so as not be ostracized by the Khalis...

Needless to say, GoI doesn't even have an official spokesperson (Javdekar does not count). It's not just the BJP, but all conservative govt's seem to have poor communication strategies.

Lastly, sends out a general message that India will not tolerate cr@p comments, even from the PM of a G8 nation.

But my broader point was that even IF this deal goes through , why would the UAE, that has maintained 2 strategic supplier base for its combat aircraft, all of a sudden decide that it no longer needs this flexibility especially at a time it is actually using its kit more than perhaps any time since...

The F-35 deal is hardly guaranteed. And even if it happens, the UAE is more likely to begin offloading its F-16 E/F in case it needs to shed capacity for whatever reasons though it is more likely that they'll retain all three types. DCSA/State Dept have notified Congress on Nov 10th of the intended...

Taiwan changing the maps to include only current day Taiwan is one of the red lines that China has identified and will invite a military response on Taiwan.

IAF should use the opportunity of airlines going bankrupt to pick up lightly used A330 for refuellers and AEW&C aircraft. Might even save up to two thirds the cost. We've debated this several times on this thread, it's not feasible, nor financially prudent to convert a commercial liner. Just be...

There must be a way to insulate the engine from the environment. May be some sort of insulating gel. Hope IA has asked DRDO to look in to such a thing. More than the engine, it would be the battery. Those are notorious for failing at very low or very high temperatures. When vehicles first started b...

China's Foreign Ministry doesn't seem to have taken too well to the comments of Deputy Secretary of State, Stephen Beigun, in respect to a 'belligerent and provocative' China.

Absolutely Insane blast in Beirut. Iran or false flag? Lebanon's state security press liaison cites 'explosive' seized materials housed on the port as possible reason for the explosions.

Despite all the hoorah, still no word on Police Reform Act. When you have a police force that doesn't have riot control training or gear to deal with public order incidents, waves a lathi to a gun toting charlatan, doesn't send any reassurance to the murari laal going about his business.

Excellent . Good to know GoI has already pulled the airline up . Now the next logical step is the airline goes after her and demands $$.
