sell the 29Ks to the iaf and buy rafales. Pay dassault to do some folding wings, or a removable part in the outer wing. :-(

I wonder if a Brahmos can be used as an ultra long range SAM against tankers and awacs. If one fires a spread of Brahmos like a spread of torpedos, conceivably, the no escape zone can be reduced to nothing. The huge warhead means even a miss by 100 meters would end up peppering the target with holes.

If there is a war, India needs to plug into a large armory. Europeans states can not be relied on to maintain large stockpiles of missiles/bombs etc. I recently read a report that the German airforce had only 4 Eurofighter Typhoons ready to go into combat! There is only one game in town when it come...

Any sources on T90s being moved from the West to the China border? As far as I know, there are only a couple of places that are Tankable on the China border, and we dont station frontline tank forces there. As far as I can tell, these new T90MS tanks are to operationalize Cold Start and will be stat...

Project 17-A frigates that will soon go into production. That is almost double Yantar’s Rs 3,425 crore price for each Grigorivich-class vessel. Can anyone in their right mind compare Gregorovich to Project 17A? Two choppers vs one, Barak 8 vs a missile of questionable capability, project 17As displ...

Willing to bet this MKI to tejas comparison is not an apples to apples comparison. Its the same old T90 shell vs a fully equipped Arjun comparison and the Russian ape is flinging shit as usual. Added later: Checked out the Rajya Sabha TV program with AVM Bahadur and the two journo types unloading on...

Looks like kevlar fiber.. Only the bulletproof patka is 'proof' against 7.62x39. Kevlar helmets are lightweight but only stop 9mm and arty fragments.

Why don't you ask any general in Afghanistan on how many bullets of 5.56 or 7.62 caliber is required to make sure a Taliban is dead? Whatever they take it before fighting but they sustain on average 10 rounds of 7.62 and 16-20 rounds of 5.56 caliber body shots before death. :rotfl: Someone doesnt k...

not honoring contracts, threatening law suits and "I'll take the ball and go home" blustering may have worked in NY real estate. not sure if that's how you can shakedown china. Its much harder to find new markets for your products than to find new suppliers for your market. China has the ...

With 1 m resolution, Pak gets its first spy sat. There is a lot of skill involved in analysis and I expect itll be a few years before this sat and the analysis team looking at its pictures is fully operational.

The best way to salvage something out of the Arjun fiasco is to use some of the Arjun technologies to make the locally produced T90 and T72 fleet better. A better autoloader, a bustle to store the propellant, modular armor will all improve the T90 significantly and also make that fleet a lot more su...

Link to Nasim Zehra's book. I am about 50 pages in and the whining about Indian perfidy is never ending. This is perhaps understandable since she was likely to get shot if she did not provide cover for herself by cursing at the wicked Indians. Yet to get to the juicier parts about the actual operati...

Every state has rules to protect vulnerable classes. There are similar rules about land ownership in Himachal, in UttaraKhand.. there are laws that prevent sale or transfer of land owned by SC/ST to a non SC/ST. One could argue about the ethics or constitutionality of these laws, but they are prefer...

^Shanmukh: I think your data points are correct. What we saw in 2014 was a polarized electorate with the valley voting for soft separatists. The failure of this alliance is also a failure of governance and both parties are responsible for this failure. IMO, along with Mehbooba Mufti, Rajnath Singh ...

1) UN Report on "Human Rights Violations" in J&K, from a pure Hurry-rat/HM/LeT perspective, as ventriloquized by "Amnesty International". 2) Report of similar tone and content in National Geographic magazine in US, which in general steers clear of political stories. Oh yes. ...

Cant help but chuckle at Shujaat Bikharis murder. Watching his twitter feed, I think he criticized some murders of local Kashmiri policemen/armymen during eid and that was reason enough for some jihadis to spray bullets at him and his security detail. The hate spread by his fellow Islamists and Kash...

Army men trying to convince the family of a terrorist jihadi to persuade him to surrender. I dont understand why this kind of people are not sent to Pakistan where they can continue to engage in jihad to their hearts content.

Possibly two or three tonnes can be reduced by replacing steel wheels with alloy, replace regular steel in trails with ultra-high-strength steel or titanium.

Of course the army knows what such a gun should weigh. Let’s not believe the numbers on a media report. The knowledge of our reporters to interpret technicalities is subhanallah!

Brahmos directors have made these claims, but the proof of the pudding is in eating it. I'll believe these claims when they actually fly it. Otherwise the next gen of Brahmos is always, just a few years away.

Do these 2 foreign designs honestly look that much more TFTA than the OFB Dhanush Mounted Gun? Get a better paint job and then people will be going waah waah over the desi solution as well.

BARAK-ER is a much better option. The S400 range of 400 kms appears to be the differentiator, but our major urban centers are far apart, not so close that a single S400 battery can provide protection to two or more, so we can realize the cost savings.

Wait for THAAD? Why not collaborate with western countries for THAAD like local solutions? Alliances are the way these confrontations work. What options do we have?

Its amazing that when F16 purchases are pushed by the OEM, Rus rakshaks jump up and down claiming Pak has the same weapon. Rus Rakshaks also want to purchase an off the shelf Rus SAM that is also operated by our primary strategic enemy, Cheen, that Rus appears to be politically, economically and str...

How can we expect an S400 to protect against Cheen that is itself a user of the system? This would be like trying to buy F16s back in 89.

The issue in Arjun vs T90 is not light armor vs heavy armor.. They are both playing the same role. The issue is, if a breakthrough is achieved, can the cavalry exploit it?
