What is the possibility that Russia provides India with overt support in case of a 2-front war? May be lease a few transport, fighter aircraft, tanks, etc? Would they allow access to their bases for re-fueling or supplies? How would Indian air base in Tajikistan play a role, if any? Can India open o...

Looks like India is upping the ante - http://www.india-defence.com/reports-4546 A year after the Defence Ministry backed out of a military exercise at a US base near China at the last minute, a go-ahead has been given for a joint amphibious exercise at the US Marines base in Okinawa, Japan. The war ...

Mailed you as well, just now. To reconfirm:

- Would prefer NJ - Edison, on 13th Nov. Philly being second choice. Restaurants - Akbar or Chutney Manor on Rt.1 would be good.

This is my first BRF meet too. Please advise on the etiquitte, dressing/protocols

What are Chinese amphibious assault capabilities, if any? Can a major/main assault on NE be coupled with and amphibious assault from the Bay of Bengal area, and a third thrust through Bangladesh/Burma (assuming they become Chinese stooges)? Is this just a nightmare or a realistic scenario?

yantra

How would the socio-cultural things play out on both sides - esp. China. China is more corrupt than India and can India plan and 'buy out' a few critical guys when necessary? China has already bought (or some of the leftists have sold) a few parties in India. How do these play out if a two front war...

The move to hand over Gwadar to China, among other things, may just be the first step to replace the erstwhile IPI (Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline) into a new reality - Iran-Pakistan-China (IPC) . ... The Chinese will build Gwadar as tax-free industrial hub which may include oil and gas refinerie...

Baluchistan will be another headache for India; it will act as same wht Afgan is for unkil today... Best Scenario will be to have indian friendly govermnet there and have remote control regime...

As long as it takes. We cannot expect cutting edge turbofans to be developed with drip funding. Those who are cribbing about how much has been spent on the Kaveri need to go take a look at what has been spent on the various engine programs the world over, over decades in R&D, testing, and manpo...

The GoI can overtly invite NRI citizens to come back offering them (at least a cream of 20-30 in each identified area/s) attractive packages and requisite infrastructure and of course, positions/titles. Can even create a Padma Award style Awards and titles for the scientific community and shower the...

It is also important to read/look-up the "right" history. Indian history, mostly as we know it, is the British version of what was documented. As we all know, there is always another side to the story and the real history is somewhere in between. Pity, successive governments in India have ...

yantra

sorry if it is a newbee question. But can someone enlighten me/or point to information on the organization/structure of traditional Indian armies? (Corps, Div, Regiment/Bat, etc are british/western). What has been traditionally followed in India pre-AD 1700s?

Thomas, one page does not make a book. China denying Visa to an Indian General is not a US conspiracy - I never said that. India will find its own way to snub China back, it has already done some. If you put all the pieces together of the events happening over the last couple of years, a picture sta...

It could even be Unkil's strategy to create a threat environment in the region for their own strategic benefit.

yantra

more of the same, and some interesting notes..

a simmering rebellion against the Pakistani rule and the influx of an estimated 7,000 to 11,000 soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the area, which is closed to the world.

Water could become 'strategic resource' - Russian security chief Russia's vast water resources may soon become a "strategic resource" as the global water deficit increases, the country's Security Council secretary said on Thursday. "I can name numerous examples of when a lack of wate...

India should drop its support to the so called "One China" policy under which Tibet (and Taiwan, Mongolia, etc, etc) becomes part of China, unless China stops giving arms to Porkis, and considers J&K a part of India (not a "disputed territory"). This incident was probably in ...

yantra

If Kashmir is disputed - How come nobody is mentioning Sinkiang is disputed - exactly the same problem. This is the stance that India must take. If the Chinese have Khujli with J&K being part of India, surely Indians have more Khujli with Shinjang being part of China. :rotfl: Time that we even ...

..F-16? Well, I doubt if you even bothered looking up the nos of F-16s built. More than 4400. Again, I am all for max no of indigenous fighters but it is best to not let our jingoistic dreams run out of control. When MK2 is completed and IAF orders in bulk, I am sure that the production rate will a...

yantra

^^ So, people who want 80-100 tejas mk1 to be produced per year should think about the cost of setting up additional production lines. And that additional cost will be reflected in the cost of tejas mk1 which would become a highly expensive a/c. And what will happen to the production line after tho...

Growing Chinese Nuclear Weapons Power S D Pradhan Interesting to note from this article - China has come up with the concept of “Limited Nuclear Deterrence” which inter alia suggests that along the Chinese periphery the doctrine of ‘No First Use’ (NFU) of nuclear weapons may not be adhered. In 2006...

One would assume that delay in procuring 155mm Guns with range of 40 Kms will result in more procurement of “Made in India” Pinaka with a range of 38-42 kms. Moreover Pinaka production is not by PSU but by L&T / Tata. Each Pinaka costs 2.3 crores. (pretty cheap?) Associated vehicles and missile...

So, what is the final fatwa on this?

I wonder if Unkil is instigating India n maina. But its must for Unkil to help boost India inorder to contain Maina. Else Unkil's ships are out of IO and Pacific border just patrolling borders of North America. America is definitely tying to influence not only India but also the entire world about ...

IMHO it is not very wise, from any point of view to invest in China and I am a trained economist. It would only serve to strengthen the enemy for inevitable showdown (not necessarily culminating to war). The only way is to invest in India. NO TRADE with Red China. Whatsoever. And how exactly will i...

No worries, all for the country we love

yantra

Agreed. As a policy, we should come out with a certain percentage allocation to local R&D for every $ that goes out (do not tell me off-set!). It should be given to DRDO to develop an equivalent to what we are purchasing from out-side . Agreed, the total cost will be 1.x times, but it is well w...

yantra

An R&D base emerges from doing R&D, not paying some foreign country big bucks to ship something to assemble which is 90% of what is called TOT. Instead of wasting tons of money, the man portable NAG should be put into high gear. Far more was learnt about how to build a combat plane by doing...

.....the currently superior weapons of the US can counterbalance the numerical edge that China has What makes you think US will give us "the currently superior weapons of the US" and allow us to use it against Pak/China when need arises for us? Why do you view F-18 as "best value for...

There is some mis reporting... For eg... F 35 priced at 100 Mn USD... I mean is it even available... The writer has quoted as if it is available over phone.. Besides, F 35 dont supercruise?? What made Suman think that 42 planes will come without AESA and all? Especially when report itself mentions ...

^^^^ Critics of your book say that China hasn’t ‘collapsed’ in the time frame you set, and you’ve been proved wrong. How do you respond to that? We’ve to wait until August, 2011, to say for sure. But right now, it’s hard to be optimistic about China’s economy or its political system. I know many pe...
