LM (and Tata JV and the Tier 1s) had been working with desi suppliers for the past few years. To be brutally honest, it would have brought all of us pvt entities to the next level of being aerospace suppliers. My jingo side is happy that it is scrapped. But my technocrat side is not sharing that fee...

The runway is 10-28. Clearly visible from google earth. The landing gear not deployed story is totally bullshit. In such cases, there are SOPs that will require working with the ATC, and DGCA will know immediately. The pilot can't simply go in and do a belly landing. The ONLY explanation is the airc...

Air India Express Vande Bharat flight Dubai to Kozhikode overshot the tabletop runway and nosedived down. Several deaths confirmed as of now.

Heavy rains and cross winds at the time. Luckily, no fire. It is reported that it is the second (or third) attempt after aborted landing.

I think we have been shown 'finger 3'* and Finger 4 by the Chinis, and we are going to take that hit. Here is why: 1. It makes much more beneficial to use it to further the political and economic agenda, and going kinetic there. 2. There is no real military advantage in kicking them out from the 'bo...

The problem is, the domestic suppliers will also required to comply to the same standard. Chinese will produce their (NABL Certified) test reports and get the stamp.

There is no LAC. China has a LIC (Line of Imagined Control) which probably includes Bangalore, Kerala because we love our "chinese chilly chicken" India has a LWC (Line of wishful control) which is where the Chinese withdrew in 1962. Somewhere in between lies the BBP (Band of Both Patrol) ...

Added: Going by tweets of a lot of ex-forces, they are still mostly singing disengagement/deescalation (it will be a long process blah blah), I get the feeling most are not mentally ready to accept the possibility of a war with China.

We must distinguish between 'objective' and 'tactics'. We may take land as a tactic, but after the war, we still need to sit across a table with the chinis to make a settlement. What we demand there is the 'objective' and that is what matters.

Dileep

What would be our objective when we go kinetic with SHA?

To answer this, we need to know what was agreed by us in 1962 ceasefire. Our objective will not be beyond what we formally agreed. Our nature prevents us from going beyond. Dharma does that to us onlee.

What we can definitely infer from the images is that Chinis have built a pathway that can carry construction equipment to the sharp corner of Galwan river.

I will add one more question to Ramana's list: Why did WE have a reasonably big post looking at the mouth of Galwan river? And why the recent build up?

We are doing some work on UV-C based sanitizers. What I 'read' is that UV-C is 'skin safe' because it can not penetrate the layer of dead cells on the skin. Many chemicals, even H2O2 are skin safe, but kills germs. Still, UV-C can modify DNA of skin cells that are exposed (maybe a scratch?) and trig...

Perhaps doctors/medical field experts on this forum can shed some light on: 1.

Everyone and his chaprasi are now "making ventilators". My KB is too. I know at least ten startups here in Dera Mahab Ali trying it. Even my son's college announced a programme, but I think the mommas of the kids thrown tantrums. I know mine did. Almost ALL of them (including Mahindra) are...

As early as 2017, work was happening on auto-landing based on navigational aids and AI based vision. They must have progressed a lot from there.
