There is nothing about building a strategic fuel reserve. Does it mean that it has been left to the bilateral agreement with individual suppliers on how much can be supplied? It would be safe to assume that in the event of India conducting a test the supplier would demand the stock back. Is it safe ...

Rajrang, thats not true. The Chinese ground forces had Soviet air support during the Korean war without which they would not have been able to cross the Yalu river. Even before that, air power was used by USAF with devastating effects destroying the NoKo logistics which enabled UN forces to eventual...

Ramanaji, are there explicit references to India being dragged into the FMCT as part of NSG/123 agreements? I don't recall it being discussed on these threads.

Santosh

Rest in peace sir.

For the bold part I think you still didn't get the whole picture as I see it. India is free to develop its own reprocessing technologies (for imported fuel) or import those technologies from any other country like Russia or France if they are willing to export. Can you please post a link/reference ...

KS seems to be firmly in the Con-gress camp, he has been spinning in their favour for over an year IMO.

Who controls the anti-terror laws? I think the states should draw up their own anti-terror laws and relieve the scum bags of their misery by setting up fast track courts? Why is not even one terrorist hanged till now. It is really troubling to see the drill again and again.

How is the sub position accurately determined for SLBM udaan, since subs maintain all kinds of silence. Do they have some kind of INS to keep track of their own position? If the equipment is not very precise and accumulates errors since the sub set sail, the overall accuracy would go ... kaput

Thanks Arunji. I kind-of figured the last part looking at the BR Agni page and the discussion over the last 4 pages

.. Nice, I like..

Arunji, was the Agni3 D3 flight of the Agni3 TD variety or was it the Agni3A variety? Thanks!

Katare: Arun's point is still valid - who will arbitrate the deal in a unbiased manner in case of a difference in opinion? And there is bound to be a difference in interpretation since US is litigatious as where as we are simple onlee. Might as well invest the billions in alternative energy sources....

Ramana, maybe they didn't think it was necessary based on the results of the first five. We don't know if the sixth was TN or sub-KT device.

Wouldn't the Mig29's be better off using the BVR weapons before getting into dogfight. Might have saved a couple Harriers by diverting the Su attention.

Most of the large Solar cell manufacturers across the world are at 400-500MW capacity right now. They are expected to grow to 1000MW in about 3 years from now. Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries is expected to invest 7.5Bn USD in solar wafer manufacturing facilities . Videocon is expected to follow...

Can't wait to read the final outcome of the battle. Amazing! My guess is the PLAAF Su group is overwhelmed numerically and might be outgunned by Mig29s/Harriers ..

Question - the PLAN fleet could have engaged the Viraat CBG. Do they not have anything in the range/class of Brahmos?

Shiv, GS correct. I understand that the men will die fighting or be beheaded and the women/children will be taken to raise the next generation of army of Islam. My point about the women was to survive by conversion or whatever it takes but later wait for an opportune moment to poison/kill/stab the f...

"None of the women protested, nobody wept," Singh, 78, recalled as he stroked his long, flowing white beard, his voice slipping into a whisper. "All I could hear was the sound of prayer and the swing of the sword going down on their necks. My story can fill a book." I never unde...

At the same time, What I am saying is the muslim or Christian is as much a Hindu as anyone else in India. The job here is to shed the inhibitions of the Muslim or Christian that by being a hindu, they are less Christians or muslims. Says you, but what do they say? In fairness, why should a Muslim o...

The foregoing may sound inspirational or corny or both. But when I visit India during Ganapati or Navaratri or Diwali, I am overcome with joy and relief that my heritage is not just alive but kicking and ready to kick butt if need be. Abhijit thankyou.

Singha, what are the chances that ULFA cadres would have escaped to BD, Myanmar by now? Historically, have such operations yielded any tangible results? A retaliatory build up by GoI is a given after such massive killings.

So its not a problem that farmers are not able to re-seed GM crop? It is. But in places where GM crop has been successful farmers have cross-pollinated popular local varieties with GM varieties to get around re-seeding issue. Don't know how widespread the practice is. Added later: Obviously Monsant...

I am sure I have said most of this, I will keep it short. >> It causes overproduction of certain things like grain, while Indians are moving to a more varied food basket with better economy. How will the farmer magically know who all is sowing the same crop and how much? The farmers do not even have...

GJ, the performance of GM cotton has been mixed. It is good in some states like Gujarat while in others like AP it has been devastating. The unemployment scare is in some of the Eastern states as you would expect.

The guy was busy diverting water away from his farms while others were trying to channel as much water as possible into their farms. Yields were nearly double of conventional tech. Will try to f...

Akula was supposed to be part of the Gorshkov package. It would make sense to lease them if possible until the ATV is hammered out.

BR is not my home page but among the first sites I visit on the net. I check out the active threads on the main page and then go to the military discussions and economy/infrastructure in that order.
