Rahul M and Sree : 2 January 2011 A very happy and fruitful new year to both of you and other BR colleagues. Sree is spot on. All AF units / stations commanded by Air Commodores refer to the commander as AOC. The same is the case with Army and Navy stations. I am afraid brother Rahul M is just not c...

Anand Shankar and Bala Vignesh : In the case of the IAF, at least, AVMs and above are often supplied with Tata Indigos or Mahindra Scorpios. The Indigo comes in the traditional IAF blue (as in the case of the Amby shown above) while the Scorpio is black, with the usual IAF roundels to indicate its s...

Rahul M : In the Indian armed forces, the rank of Brigadier (Army) and its equivalents Air Commodore (Air Force) and Commodore (Navy) have always been Flag Ranks. The sdame is the case in most other armed forces (French, American, British etc.) In effect, this means that Brigadiers, Air Commodores a...

Septimus P banned : for 1 month. Thank you, Rahul M, the moderator. Kartik, Ravi Karumanchiri and Ashish Raval have also written today about the awful conduct of this SP person. Thanks. The action of the BR administration should be welcomed. Better late than never, though many other BR commentators ...

I am writing on an issue that must have also struck other contributors to this panel. I am referring to the nature of the posts of Septimus S, specifically the language that he uses and the vituperative nature of most of his posts. He is nothing short of a gutter language afficionado. His frequent u...

Ajay Shukla's Antics - it is sad and interesting at the same time to see (and read) Ajay Shukla's disingenuousness. Thank you, Saptarishi, for pointing this out candidly. Ajay Shula (AS) is performing a ridiculous solo act now. For the last few months,AS was peddling the Lockheed - Martin manifesto....

Please see what I had suggested in my post on Page 82 on the 30th November 2011. At least one other friend has posted on the same lines. The Swiss Parliament must ratify the decision of the country's Federal Council (roughly equivalent to our Union Cabinet). It is far from certain that the Parliamen...

The Swiss imbroglio is far from over. The situation continues to be fluid. Certain facts are clear ; the Swiss air force ranked the Rafale as the best aircraft from the military viewpoint. The Gripen did not make the cut - was definitely below the barrier on operational characteristics. The EF was i...

My good friends who have commented on the Swiss preference posts : it is important to know why the Swiss evaluators have arrived at their conclusions (or their stated conclusions). We should not brush aside a rigorous evaluation process like the one that the Swiss Air Force has undertaken. The Swiss...
