The Q is v.valid given the high cost of CG assets and manpower.

No. They should go nuclear. NPT was for non-expansionist nuclear powers. PRC was underserving of the NWS status in NPT. It was frozen to suit superpower interests. Taiwan & Japan need to go nuclear as US treaty commitments are doubtful with experts urging Taiwan to defend itself If the US decli...

The naysaying about SMART is absurd. When you have a complete sensor-shooter chain over 600kms, why would it be so hard for a missile to avoid own assets in the area? Yes, civilian assets are sometimes shot down in war. That is just the way it is. About the number of sonabuoys and the lack of dunkin...

1. Networked LRMP aircraft. 2. Ships organic ASW choppers. If the ship has this missile+torp combination, the chopper doesnt need to carry the torpedos. That should increase range, sensor capability, loiter time. Doesnt a P-8I carry 5 Mk54 torpedoes? Doesnt the Seaking & Seahawk carry own twin ...

One more mod is definitely needed on the T72 and T90 series of tanks. Attach a bustle ammunition storage compartment with blowoff panels that can store the non-autoloader ammo stored in the hull and in the turret. An easy mod that can improve survivability of specialist personnel in actual combat. ...

I am not sure whether to lungi-dance or grind my teeth. On the one hand, we see our dreams come true - proven desi weapons getting through a rapid testing/induction cycle. OTOH, it points to a systemic failure of imagination & planning that such systems aren't already in service. 1) Dev trials ...

The myth of the 10 foot chinaman was actively spread by JNU historians. We lost two divisions deployed in the most tactically unsound era and the sins and the moral weakness of the leadership were slapped on to the entire country.

Zozilla Pass and Rohtang pass at 3500m and 3800m are shut down during winter. How come G219 which is above 4500m can still be used in winter? I guess part of the reason ZP and RP are closed is because they are on a cliff. G219 is on a plateau and hence not as dangerous. But does it need constant cl...

I just find it interesting that the US readily demonstrated its access to encrypted Chinese milcoms and even insight into Beijing's rage at PLA actions at the engagement frontier (I won't call it border).

The funny thing, we should not have lost the 1962 war. The border, the map etc. all are exactly the same. The army was also same. I think it needed a Nehru to achieve that.
