Yes PAD can perhaps deal with the char-footi-dari that the pious fire off regularly but what about the panchh-footi-dari, I say.

India would be better off pursuing more fruitful paths of indigenous development

And you sir would be better off pursuing your apparent specialty of djinn power or is it gin power.

Besides India wandering down blind alleys should make Pakistan a little safer so why the solicitousness?

I do hope he did not say that-it would be in poor taste and only serves to dignify Pakis and their claim on Islam. Of course the Indian Muslim may not be amused at this gratuitous invocation either.

India was known to brag that they knew about the Kunduz airlift 2001/2002 in real time ie they were monitoring Afghanistan air activity. LR radar is nothing new. India has a habit of revealing capabilities that they have had for some time ( wouldn't be surprised if there is a desi on the moon, now t...

Er-- solar radiation may generate spurious signals in ICs that cause mistracking, misfiring. Yes I will have to give Schrodingers cat another look to add to the laundry list :wink:

Bayesian theory I understand has many interpreters hence the quotation marks.

Good that people are looking at kill probabilities less naively-there is one more angle. The P is not independent. That is, in an intercalated war-fighting system the Pk is dependent on the SAME upstream systems eg the rocket fuel batch, the electronics quality control, the meteorological and solar ...

I am sorry but you are making as much sense defending your remarks as a first term grad student but there is always the potential. The issue is of designing something which has as high a theoretical Pk as possible, its obvous that it has to be backed up by realworld tests to proof that capability. I...

I would thin -the reference to lines of code is from DRDO not me, it is essentially meaningless so why would they feel the need to reveal that nugget. Pk in simulations is wonderful but it's presumably realworld Pk that you want to know when firing the drdo assault rifle in a firefight. Again so mea...

What is '3 million lines of code'?

A current video game may have 500,000-1 million lines of code.


98.8 % kill p, really? 2 Ghauris get in for 1000 fired- let's get real-life. the global lauch failure rate is higher and that is not even the rate-limiting step for a ballistic missile intercept.

Well well well so DRDO seems to have scored a technological tour-de-force. -look for an economic payoff in the form of increased orders for everything from satellites to shoes. Brand your tech savvy and market it lads. -look for a political payoff-this should knock down the Euro second tiers Germany...

I just gots to congratulate you. Understated sarcasm and wit better than the best Monty Python. A must-see for every Paki but you might need Panjabi subtitles, explanations in bracktes and a laugh track for them. Please do one on Uncle's sponsporship of Jihadi Pakistan to make the world safe for dem...
