"If its a 2 m diameter for a proposed sub launched version, then it means a different design for VLT's & hence a new class of SSBN, after S4 & S5." As per the available information, SSBN in construction or proposed for construction can hold *greater than* 2 m dia missile. 2.3 mete...

Is this the first time that they are naming a base after a persons name?

Its f***ing crazy and dangerous to allow other aircrafts near presidential carrier, what if some pilot suddenly goes ape and crashes his fighter into presidential carrier, in that case nothing can save eleven.

ravip

The lifts do penetrate into the hull but from the drgs,video clip,excellent one,only as much as the island.though.The pic of the carrier under construction seems to show the lift well/lift as it looks identical to that on the v-clip. But one can see that a substantial space is the equiv. of a cut-o...

yes it will have Barak 8 as well as MFSTAR.

This video might have been posted earlier but gives clear view of protruded deck out side hull.

corrected link has been posted below.

This DND pic shows more than 20% of the island, lift and port side deck is protruded outside and is not built on the hull.

vishnu som of ndtv wrote 127mm. actually it makes sense only for a gun cruiser meant to shell shore targets like accompanying a marine task force. a use case for USMC in colonial wars but not us. 76mm SRGM will do fine for us, but I wish they had two of them for CIWS work where the RBUs are now...a...

Sorry, this MMRCA / Rafale/ whatever business is just plain Kakkoose (Toilet).The deal in the first place never made any sense and should have been scrapped outright. There is nothing that the Rafale brings to the table that a SU-30MKI does not in substantial terms. If you need more so-piss-ticatio...

Apologies to the Admins for the political angle to this: I don't know about the average Joe out there, but I campaigned for the BJP and worked hard during the elections.

I dont think the Globemasters have done a job that could not have been achieved by civvie Airbus/Boeings or IL-76s; - None of the sorties exceeded 200 pax (~20 Tons) - Did not land on short/rough airstrips - Did not land in warzone so did not utilize fast climb capability - All landings at sea leve...

Your feeling is a fit answer to people who opposed acquiring C-17's and ridiculing it as sell out by UPA. These planes are important for strategic transport and are invaluable during war.

Ravip, the flaw in your argument is this. India is a massive subcontinent - it is the nation with the second largest population in the world and soon to be the largest.

It is only the change of mind set which can improve the situation. I have seen this statement made by a lot of Caucasians as well as Indians about "change of mindset". What I don't understand is whose mindset is being asked to change ??? The criminal or the society ??? If it is of the cri...

How come the sub didn't see the fishing boat? Was the fishing boat also running without lights? If so, I'd question whether it was just a fishing boat or doing some other side business as well.
