I meant Helis and other Naval ships... Carrier is surely out of question for them... Without after sales support and spares, those systems will be obsolete in no time. Now, if you want to buy them in order to copy them, that is a whole different issue. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Chinese &q...

Rajiv Pratap Rudy of BJP rips Congress's argument apart. He asks why separatists were freely allowed to hold conferences 3km from PM's house about breaking up the nation and nobody was there to arrest them.

At least 50 supporters of Anna Hazare were tonight detained by Delhi police at Jai Prakash Narain Park, the venue of the anti-graft crusader's planned fast from tomorrow, for defying prohibitory orders clamped in the area. This is a tactical mistake by the government and I hope Anna plays his cards...

x-posting from International mil. Discussion Video of US Chinook being shot down in Afghanistan (Slow video on a Chinese website) I suspect the video is fake.

There are a few differences between China's establishment of bases around India and India's doing so around China. First is the purpose of the "String of Pearls." China wants those bases as much for improving energy and commercial security as it does to encircle India. In fact, energy and...

Now that I see the no F20 on the other ship it must be INS Godavari. Then this video was shot by pakis on PNS Babur.

They are shouting "Allahu Akbar"

The naivety of their naval personnel amazes me.

^ NRao, I meant the news about India supplying Brahmos to Vietnam. I would love to see an official or Vietnamese news source confirm that fact. I tried, but could not located one.

Nrao, In situations like this, a cost-benefit analysis would have been done by the GOI. One has to ask whether the strategic advantage provided by building that ALG (and rigging it) outweighs peaceful border relations between the two countries or not. There are many factors that go into the equation...

Our bozos did not even wait for a grumbling from China before they ditched this plan.. they have shelved the plan "APPREHENDING" Chinese objections. If they can shelve an ALG, how can we hope for a Mountain Strike Corps. The Current MEA needs a revamp, starting from the "oldest minis...

The statement that the Chinese will give it to Pakis just does not cut it either . . It was not a statement but a question. More specifically, an attempt to spark a discussion on that possibility.

Unfortunately "Chinese will give it to Pakis" has become an excuse for covering ignorance on this forum. I think you are underestimating 1) the technical difficulty fo even the Chinese to achieve that 2) the technical difficulty of even copying designs While I do my best to do my research...

I had high regard for this great gentleman. It must be noticed that he played a crucial role in waking up the Central Govt. to finally adopt many of the counter Chinese measures that we see being implemented today in the NE.

Just to add to the above poster.

What exactly is their plan? They certainly cannot remove Gaddafi by throwing bombs from the air. They will have to deploy ground troops to overthrow him (like Iraq).

Gaddafi is here to stay I think. India has done the right thing by staying away from this mess.
