Post Galwan direct fire requirement for PLA bunkers was formed. Now we see the demo.

That's presupposing that PLA infantry doesn't have ATGM.

During the cold was the USSR also had a 3 MIRV IRBM in the shape of SS20.

^^^ How will NATO be disbanded? It has reawakened. They are basically fighting the war using Ukraine as a proxy. That is why this war will be a long fought one. Continental Europe has it's centre of gravity. The US thinks that with the eastward expansion of NATO, it has shifted to Poland. With the ...

Srai, The larger Russian agenda is to rework the post 1991 security architecture in Europe. Into a more equitable, balanced and more stable system. When it comes to Ukraine, it is to make sure that it doesn't become a part of NATO. The evidence of the seriousness of Russian desire to prevent Ukraine...

The pilot is the best Judge of the situation in the cockpit. It is unwise to second guess his choices on the basis of only a fragment of information.

I would suggest that posters wait for the court of enquiry finish it's job. Before we argue about the pilots choices.

Pratyush

The pilot is safe. That is important.

An effective MIRV force requires a bit of publicity.

Alternatively, this is an attempt to finish JJP by having assembly elections at the same time as the national elections. This has the theoretical benef...

Perhaps the objective was to import form the start. That is why the requirements were drafted in terms they were.

I have not understood the reasons provided by the SBI about not being able to share this information. Second SBI by acting this way, has created an impression that there is something there. Three it doesn't take 8 years to decide the constitutionality of a scheme. So why now after 8 years of operati...

Thanks for your explanation of the program. No wonder that it was a failure.

Pratyush

The points you have made are quite valid. Both in context of the US army and the Indian army. Second WRT, the DRDO MCIWS. I have not been able to understand the thought process behind the program. I would definitely like to understand the thought process, before I can say if the program was a succes...

Will ditching the SPM reduce the timeline for the entry into service of the next gen SSK?

The American answer to the 5.56mm issues is the SIG-MCX rifle with the new 6.8x51mm round. But they seem to be going slow with it and still figuring out teething issues. Of course this round is about as heavy and more powerful than the old 7.62x51. So I'm not sure what happens to all the reasons wh...

Pratyush

:D Both of these are niche rounds with serious limitations and aren't widely used. .458 SOCOM is only used by gun enthusiasts. The US army never really did anything with it. The ShAK-12 was also specifically built for FSB urban combat units. Again a very niche round with limited applicability. When...

Pratyush

Snip.... This theory of the 5.56 round being developed to wound instead of kill because it takes more men out of the fight is a myth with no basis in reality. Unfortunately it has acquired a life of its own on the internet. The 5.56 round came out of the SCHV (small caliber high velocity) program o...

In addition to the above, based on the counter insurgency/ terrorism experiences of both the US army and the Russian military/ FSB troops. Both nations have developed a large calibre bullets along with firearms. In the shape of.458 SOCOM and the.50 calibre in case of the Russian forces . https://en....

One question I've had about our Paras and SF is how the oft repeated trope about the 5.56 ammo being deemed inadequate leading to the IA trying to replace the INSAS with AK's for COIN does not apply to the SF? They seem happy with their Tavors, M4's and now the ARAD despite being involved in all ki...

Aditya, The mobility of a tank is defined by its power to weight ratio, suspension, along with the ground pressure in PSI. The Arjun Mk1s specific ground pressure is about 25% lower than the tin can. As a matter of fact, the Arjun Mk2 after adding nearly 10 tons to the Mk1. Has an equal ground press...

The USSR origin armour is called tin cans because of the extremely poor armour protection along with inherent design defects. Because of political directives from Kruschev during the mid 1960s. The irony is that the red army senior armour officers understood the weakness of the existing armour force...

Not exactly. Purely from a war fighting POV, it's important for MBTs to have the ability to clear a path for themselves on the battlefield. Without being dependent on other assets. That in turn makes the mine plough a useful kit to attach on every tank. Having said that, what was really really, real...

IIRC, back in late 90s when Shri Kalam was still the scientific advisor to the Raksha mantri. He had stated that the IAF will require 220 Tejas with an export potential for several hundred more. The Mk1 in its iterations has already reached that number. 40+83+97= 220. The so called Mk2 will surpass ...

Why "Col Kalashnikov"?

The gentleman's name is,"Colonel Prasad Bansod". It's a good name for an Indian. The fact that he is called Col Kalashnikov, shows that our media has no appreciation of his accomplishments. Without bringing a foreigner into the discussion.

Pratyush

That's the bloody problem. Even though Arjun was designed for our requirements. The Indian army abandoned it for an inferior imported product.

The T-14 Armata is still very much alive. What the article is referring to is that the tank will not be deployed in Ukraine due to the high cost. The comment was that, it's cheaper for the Russians to procure T90 over the Armata. Regardless of the context of the comment. It basically means that Arm...
