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...

Re: Indian Military Aviation
Given that most of the detection equipment will be Amriki itself, wonder how many American bugs will we be able to catch? ( There will be tons planted ) I really doubt that. 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...

First you make profoundly stupid comments. Then, instead of apologizing, you badmouth people who get peeved by your comments. I hope you are a 12 year old retarded child. Otherwise there is no excuse for your pigheadedness.

The Su 30 MKI doesn't lack A2G capabilities. It suffers b/c it doesn't have the wide array of weapons for A2G like the Rafale and the Super Hornet. 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...

It is provided to police in high risk areas like J&K and NE. I think the rest of the police will be provided with INSAS but only after each SLR of IA is replaced. I guess army is given priority in this case. By that time we wont requires INSAS becuae we have alreadly ordered MP5s and MP4s mp5 a...
