Bharat Rakshak

Surya

exactly - hence it was stupid on the Iranians to do this - there is no benefit in holding the personnel - its one thing if it was miles inside their territory or some spec op team on land

while the cunning pakis never overtly affect Amir Khan echandee and get away with murder

Surya

So much for Irans Chess playing brilliance

just when they had the Saudis on the backfoot - they go and screw up

cannot trust either side

Surya

No serious grownup, in writing about a high-stakes topic like the aftermath of Pathankot, will casually use a loaded and judgmental term like "screwup" at such an early stage (in fact never) when the air is filled with confusing, contradictory and biased or plain false information or opin...

Surya

what a diff

Bakshi calls the DSC our boys

and Panag calls them rag tag -

Surya

Amber- source for K9 picture?

Surya

sure - yea get them in military court

and then they will be acquited with the clowns saying evidence is not enough

what then??

all rubbish - H&D

Surya

Rohit

that also couldmean its more than 1 or 2

there could have been 2 x 4 man teams

Avantipur was attacked in 2001 I think

Surya

sanitising ops will take some time

Surya

the 2 security personnel must be the poor DSC - would be criminal if they still had .303s

slew of pictures of Army deploying outside the base at ANI (delayed)

Surya

can Omar abdullah STFU for one day.

Surya

ANi has pictures of Punjab police outside - (delayed) - carruing SLRs, LMG

Surya

Could we please not have the breast beating and wailing on this thread?

Lets use this to record the tactical situation.

Surya

If they got in - would expect more than 1 DSC guard to be killed
poor guy

Surya

thats a good thing.

guess you have a point

Surya

puzzled why NSG - should be having Garuds

Shaurya what you watching?

Surya

seperate thread for pathankot attack - please post there

wait, is there an aft VLS for Kolkota class? Where did that Barak8 popup from?

Ha Ha and you BRF experts thought you knew everything

Surya

I can ask that question because I have been impacted by H-1s (very badly). Just out of curiosity? (only broaching topic because of your comments - ) Did you not come here through H1? Unless somehow through some family or marriage or lottery?? If Yes then it makes your viewpoint interesting Even if ...

Surya

as soon as some victory happens - a thousand fathers appear -- I mean the usual 2 appear

when it fails - its all these stupid third worlders

Surya

its a death spiral in current mode - only not reaching bottom thanks to Govermund largesse

Surya

thats the problem IMO

they need to stop these dirt cheap fares, up it a bit, reduce bags to global normal (1- 23 kg) and focus on improved customer service

Surya

Once again people are smoking something heavy if they think they will get full TOT for $3 or even $6 billion

Karnad is more and more clueless.

Surya

full 5 days later bags arrive

guess one should be thankful that they at least arrived

why why why??

seriously??

YIP

one thing I never understood is why the Soviets did not wage a full flegded counter covert war on the Pakis with Afghan intel.

there were hits on mujahideen but surely they could have done more.

Surya

wow they just offloaded bags to make the take off weight
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city ... s?from=mdr

still no news on the bag front - -

Surya

you brave people trying AI

Friends neice came in yesterday via Air India

250 bags did not get loaded - No news yet from local office in EWR
Voicemail full - no one picks up phone

Finally relatives call up Mumbai and yell and scream
Told bags will be sent on 21st!! -

Surya

UN missions are not the heavy combat missions - barring Somalia which ended quickly - (and the US acknowledges our approach but does not care do it themselves -)

The IPKF is the closest - and had very mixed results- in spite of the different approach

Surya

It is particularly important for the IA fighting on its own soil rather than the US soldier who does a tour of duty and is flown back to Idaho or some place like that for leave. Right and we don't know how the IA would do in a long war in the middle of South America. Or how the US would adapt tomor...

Surya

One of the few things I can agree with Philip Saar is the purchase of some additional new MKIsed Kilos

Surya

to be fair to the Americans you cannot compare our battles inside our country or even next door to deploying 10000 miles away into a completely alien environment

They are both good professional armies who try their best to adapt and deal with the problem with the resources they have

Surya

*(IAF pl take note of the vulnerability of $70M Apaches in all recent conflicts)

Surya

someone needs to post timeline of Mtheswarans shameless sabotage comments and his joiining Reliance

maybe someone can be goaded to investigate what he has made out of it

Surya

Again, just my opinion; I doubt GOI is even considering this.

forget GOI - even most of BR does not consider it

Surya

you cannot go with ships purely by armament and age

Well maintained Rajputs with able skippers have consistently trounced others

Surya

live wires and open manholes are a nightmare in mumbai floods
