Army chiefs in nuke leak: Khan

Manne

IA would rather hold on to a position which is horrendously costly so long as it lets them dominate TSPA (GUBO of the army kind). In this case, it indeed does. TSPA can keep all their "clean" areas if it means that they will keep on launching useless assualts and the TSPA casualty figure k...

N^3, Nice to see you back. Missed meeting you at Mumbai meet as I was OOT. Anyway, a few Qs: 1. Would you then say that the very recent reports in Washington Post (or some such newspaper) - about security experts advising Dubya to secure the nukes and subsequent reports saying that it was a tough jo...

GD, While I have already accepted that weight could be the only benefit, let's take this further. Why do we want to stop at 5.56 ? An even lower size would mean even more sustained firepower. Perhaps we should make a weapon out of sandb-lasting technology ? Plenty of it in the desert lands of Thar :...

Manne

I may sound stoopid but - the 5.56 benefits hold true if you assume an enemy that does not leave behind wounded and does not have numbers to spare. If you are faced with an army that leaves behind its wounded and has no big numbers problem (like the marauding enemy in Braveheart) then all the 5.56 p...

India signs deal on Phalcon radars with Israel, Russia

They might as well deploy the Bisons (instead of MKI) with the recently number-plated squadron. Lohegaon and Thanjavur would be great for MKIs.

Manne

Great to see that 6 years of supercruising. 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)? BR has everything that I like to read about my motherland and the outside world - news, views...

It's blatanly unfair that SS gets to shoot such mind-blowing pics (and not me). :) [added later] Okay, I now have a lo-res enlarged wallpaper of the two birds taking off. I will display it as-is on my desktop proudly if I can't get the hi-res. Sanjay, you sure you don't want to watermark a hi-res ph...

I'd run with Tan Splinter and Sand schemes

And yes, a tri-colour scheme as well.

Manne

I agree 400% with Arun_S. I liked the name very much. It signals a great future for the bird and HAL/ADE/DRDO.

Many thanx to Imtiaz Ahmed for revealing Tejas to BRF.

Doc, great shoot - as usual. My colleagues freaked out over the clip.

Okay, call it sneak preview for the press but I just want to jalaofy you guys :D I received two VCDs in my mail with the instructions that I should try them out on my PC and a VCD player. Now, VCD player I have none but I *had* to test them out fully on my PC. So, I spent quite some time in front of...

I agree with rahulm to a great extent but I agree with shiv on Rs100 v/s $5 thingie. Those abroad wouldn't mind contributing a bit more to BR, would they - considering that neither of the distributors is going to make any money here? I wouldn't have when I was abroad. As a ballpark figure, blank CD ...

All those who reside in India and want any of these CD/VCDs Please wait till we decide on pricing and shipment etc. I will make an annoucement after which you can send in your addresses and money. Till then, please stand by. :cool: Kersi, you got mail. I am quite willing to send out your CD along w...

Manne

Yes shiv, the offer still stands. You got mail.

Manne

shiv,

As mentioned before, I am quite willing to take on the responsibility. You have to tell me how the money can be sent back to BR. Mail me on mannechi @ yahoo.com (remove spaces).

L&T has been working with DRDO and IA/IN on a number of projects. Nag was one. Nitin mentioned Arjun tracks IIRC. ATV is another. Then there is Pinaka. Another one that can be mentioned here is MKI. Great news on Nag front. This thread could surely do without the usual intellectual "DRDO-y/...

GeorgeJ, Out of all those reasons, I see only 2 real reasons: 1. HAL cannot increase their production and does not see RIL requirement as a prospect. 2. RIL wants the choppers pronto.
