India is famous for importing all the failed ideas & ideologies from the West: communism, feminism, liberalism, woke'ism and now capital-insurrection & delegitimizing the elections themselves Expect marches towards the Parliament, daring Amit Shah to crackdown. The BIF is sensing that since ...

The best article to read comparing Tejas-Mk2, Gripen-E, Mirage-2000 etc is the one by our own Indranil Roy in Delhi Defence Review. Rest is bakwas

Unfortunately, the DDR website is down now - something I have seen happen in the past too

InshaGanesha, if Modi 3.0 happens, in the first CCS meet, some actual orders will be placed Tired of seeing AoN after AoN, followed by a 2 years wait followed by contract negotiations between 2 Govt bodies which are both under MoD And while they are at it, hopefully Helina/SANT/Dhruvastra will be or...

The same HAL went on record last week, stating that the 80% ToT from GE will not include the critical core tech and would therefore not enable HAL to make these engines fully in-house. Needless to say, this was expected. If Rajnath Singh believes that anyone would offer their crown jewels, then it d...

Good post fanne! Though there may be no need to dhoti-shiver, I agree with your assertion that, either planned (guerilla warfare instead of frontal attack) or unplanned (organic), the election seems less of a referendum and more of a local-issues one. Which goes against the conventional thinking tha...

The corollary to this is what we should be concerned about. In every state assembly election, the BJP's vote share falls by 4-10% compared to their LS vote share. Where BJP is the incumbent, the difference between BJP and the no 2 is much less than in the LS. In the strongest BJP state, Gujarat, th...

What I find baffling is this: Kaveri did not achieve enough thrust to power Tejas. No shame in that - it was a stretch goal anyway. But for 2 decades, there has been talk of how a lower thrust Kaveri or its variants or the tech-knowhow gained can be used to power everything from UAVs to Ships (marin...

Whether as part of the carrier expansion plan or not, the MoD/MoF needs to loosen purse strings for us to truly become a blue-water navy. This includes creating additional shipyards, so that we can be building 2 carriers in parallel, if need be. Same with SSNs and SSKs The IN Leadership also has to ...

I am not so sure about Muslims voting for the BJP thing. It did not happen even in Gorakhpur where they regularly take a lot of favours from the Gorakhnath Matt daily. Pravin Patil is smoking dope. Muslims voting for BJP never crossed the 6% mark That community attaches itself to Modi Govt's scheme...

> Amit Shah added that it is for the judges who granted Kejriwal bail to think how their judgment is being used or misused. While I am happy that Motabhai is calling out the SC's hypocrisy, he has to realize that he has been in power for 10 years and the sarkar has done zilch in cleaning up the jud...

The good news is that APS can double up against RPGs/ATGMs & Loitering munitions. It has become a must-have now.

AoN for 156 Prachands happened last year. If actual contract for those are signed, that itself is good news

Extra orders and all that can wait (even assuming the news is true)

As much as the SC has acted in a disgraceful manner by releasing Kejriwal, I think its a good thing net-net I hope he attacks Modi. This election has not been enough of a Modi Referendum (which 2014 & 2019 were). INDI alliance is playing silent guerilla warfare, Chinese whispers, outlandish free...

Ok

Also, is it just me or is Modi Ji's personal campaign/speeches lacking the usual fire that we saw in 2014 & 2019? These elections have a distinctly low-key feel to them

Overall Phase-2 has crossed 60% by 5 PM. Modi Ji tweeted that Phase-2 has gone great for BJP I had a noob pooch.

It is an emergency purchase, as after a while they cannot import the same and will have to buy Rudram.

At any rate, 248 Astra-Mk1s (200 for IAF & 48 for IN) is a very small number. Ok for initial batch. But now that BDL has started delivering since late 2023, the Production must have stabilized by now Because of this small batch size, the timeline for delivery is 6 years! That's a glacial pace.
