Bharat Rakshak

IMO, the Dhruv being used in an ASW role is purely a stopgap measure. The ALH has performed magnificently in land based operations, but it just doesn't have the design features to optimise it for maritime operations.

Ironically it is some of the same physical traits that Kathleen uses to rule them out of combat that make them such good fliers. They h...

I am new to BR. IMO, It is imperative that India keeps an all time ready fully tested credible nuclear arsenal. That doesn't mean we go on an all out warheads creating frenzy. Economic impacts on India might not be too severe, but our image as a respectable country will go down. We cant go on the pa...
