We need one re-fueller and one awacs per fighter squadron Use our old used Air India fleet. It has enough life. Re-fuellers don't fly every day and are needed once in a while. Even a commercial air-frame with 30-25% life works well for another 15-20 years. So invest the money to convert a passenger...

Assets were already dispersed post-2011- they have a shortage of secure facilities as it is. B'mos has a range of 600 kms in hi-hi & steep dive mode, this wasnt an airstrike. There have been a series of false flag ops by IA & IAF keeping TSP on tenterhooks, there's only so much they can do ...

Krita - its all good my man, and we all understand and agree quality comes at a price. However, where we disagree is that Suzuki offers quality, and that by not offering the customer the choice of quality, they are doing the customer a favor. I'd say sometimes government enterprises retain the gover...

Thank you for the personal attack Krita - I own both a German car (not a rebadged VW), and a Japanese car that is light years ahead of Suzuki in quality, features, safety, and sales (you can toss a coin between Honda and Toyota and you'd have a 50% chance of being correct - heck I'd throw in Subaru ...

Isn't Latin NCAP specify a frontal impact speeds at 40 mph (64 Kph)? Effect of this: ?? It is also a fact that the largest car company in India lobbied hard for the crash test speed to be 56 instead of 64. But Maruti invests so much in R&D doesn't make substandard tin boxes that don't sell anyw...

You've heard of how countries peg their currency to the US dollar ? TSP pegs their GDP growth rate to Indian reported GDP growth rate.

Exactly - the VFM argument for Maruti's junk is inherently flawed, because quality is valuable as well
Suzuki is plain matchbox sasta chalta hai junk - that's why kahin aur nahin chalta hai

The first mention of Suzuki and EV using a simple google chacha search shows news dated September 2018 from Maruti to start testing in the near future and a first prototype was paraded in January of this year in New Delhi. Suzuki is a nobody globally, and more so in EVs. They have now tied up with ...

At the end of the day, all we need to do it keep them on their toes while we continue to grow fast.

There is more to it - the MAX has an optional AoA conflict indicator. Most budget airlines don't pay for the option, US based airlines do. I know Southwest has the indicator AND a HUD for the pilot that shows AoA conflicts so overall there is redundancy when the AoA sensor acts up. So there isn't an...

I'm not sure that having a missile part proves our case. Having a missile part in possession is likely proof that a missile was 'involved' (fired, likely) and from an F-16.
