The amazing thing is nobody neither media nor the so called hindu right wing be it VHP or RSS takes up these issues. Just 20 years ago it seemed nothing to stop the rise of Bharat in its original form, on TV you had serial Chanakya running, Ramjanmbhoomi issue on political front, MM Joshi, Ashok Si...

As much as I agree with the insanity part, I fail to see what the LCA has to do with this. It'll be a few years before the LCA MkII flies and a few more before its induction in large numbers, which will be for re-equipping the Mig-21 squadrons. There is no escape from the Mirage-2000 upgrade (a fac...

$41 million per plane for an upgrade is insanity. The upgraded Mirage 2000 would likely be inferior to the LCA mkII, if not why build an Lca mkII? Buy another 70 LCA mkIIs or upgrade a 40 yr old design form France? I think someone ( hint: Thales) needs a one finger salute. As much as I agree with t...

One reason why "so much was done" was to cover up the fact that "nothing was done" --- Allow me to explain. 1. Blackbox etc transmit the signal which can give location of the chopper within minutes. So location was known minute the chopper crashed. 2. The location was kept hidde...

Interesting: Though the tender is for 126 aircraft, there is an option for an additional 50 percent, or 63 more aircraft . I did not know that.

There have been questions asked about why KS kept mum for 10 years if he knew all along that the tests were a fizzle. Well I think his timing of the revelation is perfect.

AFAIK Russia doesnt operate SU 30 MKI or even any version of SU 30. This must be one of the older SU 27's from RuAF. That may explain the 'not so good' condition that cockpit is in........

The caliber (5.56mm), barrel length (don't know the specs but seems long based on the pic) and claimed range (200m) suggests otherwise.
