Re: CT and COIN operations in India: News, Images and Discus
When the Dam in Maithon (DVC) was inaugurated by Pandit Nehru, the actual ribbon cutting was done by the oldest labourer who was employed in building the dam. The PM was standing beside, clapping. Not trying to glorify any one person, but I have never seen such gestures from any VIP in my lifetime.

At this rate, by the time they retire, there will be no airframes left for last flypast/gate guardians/museum pieces etc. Since they are crashing anyway, why not gift a few Type 96 airframes to DRDO for research on UCAV tech. etc. At least lives will be spared (in the air, on the ground, not so sure).

Re: UAVs, Drones, Remote Surveillance Tech
Looking at the video, there is no doubt that this is the flying LCRA Rustom. But is this the one which was supposed to make its first flight? I doubt this because the new Rustom MALE design displayed in AI09 was very much like conventional MALE UAVs.
