Re: Indian Missile Technology Discussion

^^IMO it is IA which is to be blamed for this "pissing contest", but not in a way you may think. I feel IA has very poor PR skills. Perhaps there was a reason why Bramhos was not declared successful after the second test. May be IA had decided that one successful test after a failed test w...

I don't think they will be placing bugs at any place it can fit into. It is a very sensitive topic and any bugs found would s...

Unfortunately , earlier attempts in the army to form SF units in the genre of Special Air Service (SAS) of UK, or the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of USA were met with skepticism, if not downright hostility.

The Rafale can fire: Storm Shadow, exocet, Apache, AS 30, Milan. The Super Hornet probably has the greatest variety of A2G munitions in the world some ...

But if Mig-35 is a highly upgraded Mig-29, shouldn't its dimensions be sa...
