Bharat Rakshak

Sorry to interrupt ongoing discussion, but I had this question in mind and feel that some guru will be able to answer it. From what I understand, Denel has shutdown AH-2 Rooivalk project after supplying South African AF with just 12 birds. Denel has stopped the funding but they would still have the ...

Shankarji, I believe invasion of Pasni is still pending. Those 24 T-72s are still waiting with their engines running. Vivek and Sudhanshu, where are you guys?

I am 'active' lurker as you might be able to judge from my post count. But I have bookmarked SSG and it is the first page I open expecting a new post. It is totally gripping and with a great style. Please continue boss.

Hello friends, My comrade Badri and self were to embark on a bike ride to Drass, Batalik and Kargil area to commemorate 10 years of Kargil conflict. Our plan was that he'll start from Mumbai on his Enfield and I'll start from Rajkot (Gujarat) on my Pulsar 180. We were supposed to meet at Ahmedabad. ...

‘Social networking’ a threat to defence?

Read the article. And then read the blog I have written about it.

Feedback appreciated.

Nikhil, your wish has been granted. Check thy mailbox .

With due respects I would like to suggest that we call it 'The Awakening'. Because it is an awakening in many respects. Military, Economic as well as political.

All gurus, I happen to have a PDF of previous scenarios. I think I have all the posts till the beginning of the version 5. So please let me know if I can assist in this noble endeavour. Let me find that PDF and I'll upload it on a file server.

There are lots of IFs & BUTs in the history. If we had crossed the seas and conquered Europe. But that doesnt make sense as its history. What we need to do is learn from our mistakes and ensure that it doesnt get repeated. Eg Brigadier Surinder Singh was lax then how come his immediate superior ...

@ JCage, that way our PSU & private sector can make real good money. Even setting up necessary infrastructure in host country will give good financial and diplomatic returns. More employment for our citizens and wider exposure coupled with growth of our defence industry will in turn contribute t...

Moving forward...can we then export some Arjuns with downgraded features to smaller friendly countries? That should ensure the financial viability for the private players. Good idea that one. Being a business minded person that I am, I would be the happiest man when we start exporting defence equip...

Is the tactical display one with touch screen ? And it has something similar to IVIS. Arjun is not only a tank but a BMS (Battlefield Management System. I am sure T-90S is nowhere close. If only IA would utilise it effectively.

Cant stop sir. Because as long as I dont get my daily dose of scenarios, I have cook up something in my mind to keep me busy.

May be "professional" pilots from their AF will forget their mission after taking a look at the "beauty" spread across the beach.

AFAIK, F-18* would carry AIM-9X & AMRAAM as Sparrow has long been out of service. And ithe jockey would be Lieutenant and not Flt Lt in USN. As Flt Lt is rank in Brit/Indian AF. USAF has same rank structure as US Army.

I almost had fainted at the thought of losing 500 innocent lives. But no more. Damn good scenario Shankar. Please dont do anything to Wing Co Fernandez. Have a very good friend by that name. :D Hey Singha, I gather you are located in Bangalore. Good thing. Me too located in this beautiful city. If p...

Shatkoti pranam to all the gurus who keep feeding us with this high quality content. I think Tom Clancy would be mad with rage if he crossed this forum.

Parshuram was terrific. He was a Brahmin by birth but he was a Kshatriya by deeds (karma). He provides an example as to how a person should deal with the corrupt and protect the weak. Though he had quick-silver temper he's the best. IIRC he wiped Kshatriyas from face of earth not once not twice but ...

There wont be anything left to reorg. Except the soil so rich in TNT that it could be used to make fireworks.

Thanks Manne. I was just trying to explain how not to pronounce it. I never said that it should be pronounced as dhAAra. I always had problems with word stress.

Let me take the liberty to answer that. Dhara is a Sanskrit word (if I am not wrong), it means land/earth. And its pronounced like dhAra & not like dhAAra (a brand of oil which means stream). I am sorry if I am not very clear, but thats the best I could do.

Patel bhai, description about Lord Shiva is too good. I can relate to the destruction. But if you gave the conversion between the animals and instruments of death, it would be much easier to understand. Thank you.

Now thats really dramatic.

YIP bhai, F-18I....thats interesting. Nice twist in the story. May be they can be squeezed in previous air combat scenarios.
