[quote="nits"] IAF goofs, reveals Army border sites in tender The helipads belong to Army. The IAF had no business revealing their location, without Army approval - Army is justified in getting hopping mad. Close on heals of Army asking for its own air wing, IAF grumbling, the PM asking th...

I'm thinking an attack will come next year. I agree with Vasu and Shiv that their window is slowly closing and the US wont do much for us. Our goal should be to totally incapacitate the PA within a week. We will probably lose land in the East but our goal should be to keep turkey neck. This isn't g...

While I realize our sub fleet is far from optimal at this moment in time but since you've been on about the Sino-pak sub threat in IOR , you would know surely that the defence against a sword is a shield and not necessarily another sword. For countering a sub fleet in IOR we need more P8I, MKI in C...

Hmm. The site mentions India as a user of the MSTA-S SPH. I am not aware of India ordering/using any.

I think the issues between China and India are a bit exaggerated. For the most important part, the border issue can be solved by negotiation. Similar problem existed between Russia and China but it was solved. It's totally understandable for people here to feel suspicious about the J-20 or other Ch...

^^^ What is wrong with the Chief? Why can't he just serve his term and them demit office? Every Chief knows - from the day he becomes Chief - his end of tenure date.

Using empty spaces of Rajasthan as target area would mean that the missile would be overflying over most of the country's landmass.

IMHO, even the Lt. Col should not be punished but strongly reprimanded and his licensed weapon should be confiscated. He will claim self defense and rightly so.

Apaches are awesome machines that can take a lot of punishment and still go on causing mayhem. It's good for India to get them in good numbers - they can be the benchmarks for lch and be the flagship flying tanks for IAF.

Makes me wonder how many of our general ranked officers are gallantry award winners and if we do not see gallantry award winners going onto general ranks, what might the cause be.

How does this compare to other major professional armies of the world ?
