Their plan is to liquidate an advancing strike core, which may require one or more tactical nuke strike. Such a huge loss cannot be filled in a short time. To compensate for this 1> are we willing to double our conventional forces (to retain second conventional strike) or 2> launch decapitating str...

How difficult would it be to gather a force of mujahideen/TTP by India, say about 10,000ish.

Can then send them to Pakistan under Operation Grand pe laat.
Pakis free to tactically nuke them.

What can GoI do? It can't officially ban Pakistanis participating in events that the government has no oversight of. Yet it is common knowledge that these sneering scumbags hate the kafirs, pass snide remarks against the kafirs, but like kafir money. I for one support the Shiv Sena on this wholesom...

a exocet with its radar seeker will easily lock onto the huge RCS of berthed ships at the jetty as well as shore infra like POL farms(Karachi 1971!), cranes, refineries etc. ofcourse a dedicated land attack missile like SLAM will have other sensors like scene matching etc to seek out targets in a m...

Not so easy to say that this is not the 1990s.

^ In Pratt’s case, it required the cooperation of hundreds of engineers across the company, a $10 billion investment commitment from management, and, above all, the buy-in of aircraft makers and airlines, which had to be convinced that the engine would be both safe and durable. That. Sorry. Those a...

Based on the "itne paise me itnaich" theorem, its obvious that the Chinese are selling the Naval PAjis 8 underwater tractors.

On a weight reduction note, how difficult (timewise) would it be to incorporate DSI on the MK1A ?

nirav

While its understandable why IAF didnt place confirmed orders before IOC 1,2 were granted, I think there was scope for more than 20 LCAs in IOC-2 config, later to be upgraded to FOC version. Just like how IAF chief spoke recently about getting the LCAs now and upgrading the 4 items at a later date....

How much more basic can the Tejas A2A configuration gets beyond what it is now? It just carries R-73 at IOC. The R-73E configuration was agreed in 1997. Which is lot more than what the IAF got with the Mirage 2000, which came with just it's cannon and that got inducted against a fully capable F16 A...

1. AM Matheswaran does not believe in a small sized fighters, especially the LCA. His snide remarks on the LCA, and its developers are way below him in my humble opinion. I think he goes out of his way to sully the latter. This highlights a problem in the methodology in selecting the top leadership...

Why is everyone talking about death or cancellation of Mk 2?

criticizing policy is different, casting doubts on the core competency of the IAF leadership is different. Maybe the leadership can show acumen by not letting out "conditions" for accepting the LCA in public ? Or calling it Mig21++ or a three legged cheetah ? Success criteria for LCA is d...

Also, when the first 20 order was placed, the LCA in its IOC config was good enough for point defence and theater precision strike. The bakis ordered the bandars in the 100s with lesser capability, whereas Hon. ACM wants proof that BVR works and that it can refuel aerially for IAF to "accept&q...

Even thats fallacious.

Rafale is a heavy for France. Eurofighter is heavy for UK, Germany, Spain Italy, Saudi Gripen NG is Light/Medium/Heavy for Sweden and Mig 35 is light for Russia. F-16 is Light for USAF and F-18 E/F is Heavy for USN. All these aircraft were lumped together is "Medium" MRCA for IAF. Makes on...

Why would the ACM make such statements? especially in todays world people can dig up and find out that SU 30s had limited ability in the first few revs and even M2ks did not come with all missiles?

Sirjee, you are counting the chickens before they hatch. I'd love for us to have 400 aircraft, but ... The reality is the LCA is now at IOC and will accomplish FoC by March 2016.

We keep blaming DD for poor coverage but have a look at this and then we can understand that whatever - DD is still required for such coverage.

While I dont want to continue the ranting ad nauseum, it still must be said.

All launches of ISRO are historic .. And must get due attention from govt. Heck we have an "Information and broadcasting" ministry !!

This is one area where we need to get TFTA asap.

Congratulations ISRO for the successful launch ..

Hate DD for the ****** up quality cameras and resultant videos ... There is no difference in video quality between PSLV launches of the 90s and current launches !

They are using the same bhangaar camera in 2015 !!
