AFAIK, that T-90 shower is for cleaning the tank for any NBC elements that it might have been exposed to in the field...

That pic was from an exercise in decontaminating a tank in an NBC environment.

This cover may have been a message which Pakistan and China took it seriously and came up with the Jihad policy in Kashmir in 1989. China went on a drive to create pearl strategy and gwadar port in the Arabian sea

It is probably made in Italy.

We want to help

1) Italy's economy

2) Economy of all Italians

Aren't these reasons sufficient ?

Among the "lots of army men in boats, helping out the locals", in photo 8, there is a full Colonel, no less, personally handling the ropes.

Vishal, I second you. I was impressed by that. I hate those cluttered websites throwing up ads in 90 % visual space and an image I could cover it with a postage stamp.

just a small nit pick.. "Great" photos may be from jingos and photographers perspective but not from people who are suffering through it. We just need to put things a little into perspective

Your research skills probably need some fine-tuning:

(1) The AW101 is assembled in England
(2) The engines are Anglo-French
(3) The avionics are British

PS That Sukhoi pic just became my desktop image

Agree

My reference to Great was Photographically. Didnt mean any ignorance towards the calamity.

IPS officer would not be be involved in a border meet ?

BSF head will be an IPS officer. BSF is a paramilitary force. Not part of the army.

^^^Yup, that is what I meant. DG Ranger is a person on deputation from PA.

Indian troops shot dead four separatist guerrillas in two separate gun battles in north Kashmir in the past 24 hours, police said.

Met a jawan returning from his duty in Kashmir Valley. In the bus he told me how they go about hunting for terrorists and just destroy the hideouts.
He was a tour duty in Kashmir While regular duty he was a gunner in the tank Bat.
