Hmm, seems a bit of a backhanded compliment to me. It seems as if the good General is implying that the Army is not very happy with the Arjun, but will take what it is given to operate with. Why this Kolaveri D? The good General must be envious of the younger chaps! During his days as tank commande...

for a plane thats lighter than su30 family, I wonder whats the need for such a massive oak tree undercarriage legs? compare to the spindly legs of a f15 and we know the f15 still carries a huge payload. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jpointer/3475330030/ and before anyone chimes in 'need to operate f...

----- Greater convenience . Simple. Ofcourse the definition would vary from person to person. Additionally, lower bandwith usage on expensive 3G connections. In any case a dedicated app can only do the forum some good. No harm atleast.- Since no one pays for BR compulsorily, at least I've never pai...

Webmaster pls creation an Android app for the forum as well What is wrong with using the web browser in your Android phone?

So many BRFites are engaged in the IT sector, is possible for some of you guys to develop a BR forum Android app? That could make mobile browsing of the forum so much better and free us of in office restrictions. Cues may be taken from the team-bhp app.

Agreed, but mil ops in Gilgit Baltistan is an issue on which China has no locus standii as of this moment. If we were to wait and watch Gandhian style, the Chinese will soon be in a position to slap our other cheek also.

aditp

Well, the Gilgit - Baltistan being POK, is sovereign Indian territory. If the Govt could grow some balls, we can initiate ground operations limited to that sector, focused on dismantling the Chinese infrastructure. The Chinese wouldnt have any legal stand in retailiating. JMT

Seems I touched raw nerves. Hopefully people will spend some time now on (at least on) Wiki on smoothbores, rifled, heat, CHally 2, LeClerc etc. Better late than never. Hopefully such comments like spin is good for Sabots and HEATs will not be made. It is frankly quite embarrassing. But why do you ...

Indeed comprehension issues, on whose part? You have invented a HEAT where the shell spins but the warhead does not? Very nice solution, but do you have a link to back you up? 'Meanwhile here is what is actually used in REAL world <pic> Its not the shell which rotates, but a small band (which is of...

What is wrong if we co-develop FMBT with Russia ? The Arjun was designed with the GSQR calling for a western philosophy tank. DRDO has developed expertise according to this requirement. That's why the development partner should also be from the west. And is it not one of our goals to reduce depende...
