118 Arjun tank for 6600 crore. Roughly $10 million a piece. Definitely not cheap.

Bobilli is a historical place in Andhra Pradesh history. Good choice. Bobilli is indeed a historical place but how would that be relevant to selection as a submarine harbour ? Prasanna No bobilli is only for air base but they are constructing the submarine base at rambilli. Check through Google map...

I don't know whether I am speculating or not. But seeing the reports I have a strong gut feeling that the recent cease fire violations are an attempt of ethnic cleansing by shelling the areas of jammu which have a majority of sikh & Hindu population or may be this might an attempt to create fear...

To build a robust MIC there should be an all out national effort and not blame game or ego. To achieve such a goal if the situation demands then we should be ready to beg, borrow or steal. Product development is both about fulfilling customer's requirements and at the same time making the technolog...

Chetak: Whoa! Didnt realize Moron Sen is a Bharat Ratna! Just looked it up. Given to him 1 year after his Nobel prize - follow-the-white-man attitude.

This incident earned him, to be the only Heli Pilot as Chief of Air Staff, Indian Air Force.

I am reasonably sure that it was 9 batteries which included 9x2=18 launchers and around 500 missiles but cannot locate my notes. Anyway, it does not matter now. We should divide SRSAM - Maitri orders of Rs 30,000 crores three way. Rs 10,000 crore for Akash, another Rs 10,000 crores for Astra and th...
