It would be foolhardy to give up Siachen now that we have gotten acclimatised to it. Also, giving up anything at the peak of our strength makes no sense!! Position hundreds of Pinaka on the Norhtern and the Western borders and let them rip every time there is an attack.

.......I can safely say that everyone on BRF would be delighted if the Arjun trounced the T-90 across-the-board in these tests. But they first have to be held . That is exactly my point, Amitabh. And it is very hard to believe that one Arjun Tank cannot be fielded for such a competition after so ma...

Vivek K

...But first they do have to get an Arjun MK1 prod version out to the field and and get it comparison tested against a T-90S and comprehensively outperform it and make it beyond debate.. Kick the T-90 butt and prove it.. Vina, the CAG would have a field day frying the IA top brass if they let the A...

The Arjun project is in limbo because of 'men' like Col Ajai Shukla of IA who knows 'so much about tanks and tank war-fare'. Col Ajai Shukla called the Arjun a dabba and that response typefies the IA's attitude towards Indian products. We have talked on BR before about the survivability of the Arjun...

Is the striker II DRDO developed?

Weren't there some Mirage crashes last year? I remember the M2K belly landing in Mauritius. was that in 2004?

Vivek K

Well, the IAF is: a) an airforce that never lost a war b) a warfighting team that during Kargil made TSPAF think that safety is better than valour I don't have a source but I remember reading that in '71 TSPAF had been negotiating with Iran to store their a/c away from the bombs of the IAF and I do ...

RIP brave patriot! India is blessed to have had a son like you!

Mandeep,

Can we hope for DVDs of these episodes?

Vivek K

Hi! Will this be telecast on Zee or Sony? I subscribe to these channels in the US only. I would love to buy DVDs of these episodes though. I vividly remember Capt Batra's interview and his punch line - 'Yeh Dil Maange More'. That line and that enthusiastic face of a true patriot will remain in my he...

Even though I never met Lt. Gen. Aurora, I have always felt that I have. I will always remember him as a true patriot and a believer in India. He could have or perhaps should have been the Army Chief in the land of King Bharat but sometimes people like him sacrifice personal achievments for their co...

Any deals on Osama? Nukes?

OR was their a deal on Kashmir?

Are we sure that DRDO's reactors have failed? There were murmurs that the DRDO reactors were successful (I do not have a source) and had been mated to the L&T hull that was tested a couple of years ago.

The important facts are that: 1. India was able to recapture her territory 2. All Indians that died in the battle were brought back to their loved ones and received their last rites as per their religion. 3. Pakistan deserted its dead and did not bother to have them buried as per their customs The r...

Great and moving account. It amkes us all feel proud. Both the pilots desrve praise as does the work-culture at NAL.

Well, things bode well for the aerospace Industry in India. Looks like we will be a major aircraft manufacturing nation! Great job. Let's see what else do we want - the LCA/TEJAS PV-2 to fly and then fire AAMs/A2G munitions say next month?

TSJ, the [Lauhter]Cowboy in Shining armour[/Laughter]: India had plenty to do with Pakistan's nukes by rushing to test it's bombs. India tested *first*. Let's not forget that.

So then is it postulated that TSP's nukes are chinese? Was TSP unable to weaponise from the Uranium route?

Originally posted by Qhayaal: .. IAF should pump-in in money for more PVs for faster evaluation of LCA. First squadron is going to have GE-404 in anycase, so Kaveri wouldn't be a bottle-neck.

From Mrs Gadgil's interview: Thirty IAF planes have crashed in the last 35 months. Is this correct? No one came, and that is my real concern. They just forget about the officer's family after they die. Parents encourage their children to join the air force and the air force never thinks about them a...

Happy b'day BR. You are the best. 1) What is it about Bharat Rakshak (and the forum) that makes you want to keep coming back every day (or in may case, every few minutes when I hit the F5 button)?
