Well, the govt can arrest again based on LG's warnings and the assault reported by a party member lady to the PCR from the CM's residence.

One lesson from Russian conversion.of dumb bombs.

India should look at similar solution for the large number of 1000 lb bombs with IAF.

Sudarshan was not very good solution.
DRDO has the GPS chips and MING that can be used.
Besides 1000 lb are inexpensive to make.

Remember I had estimated M777 barrel life around 1100 rounds?

BAE was adamant that IA testing caused the barrel to burst when it was barrel erosion.

IA needs to ensure enough barrels before deploying.

Fastrack the 155mm 39 caliber barrel mfg.

Learn from Ukraine. Importing is not the solution.

I wish DRDO and the truck manufactures make an armored cabin which is plug in replaceable. All that glass is bullet friendly.

Makes two types of cabin : one for Ashok Leyland and another for Tata trucks.

ToG, you asked me about Modiji using a random tit-for-tat strategy. We think it's a three-person game between BJP, Muslims, and Congress.
