That is not how you see it. If you see the pdf on Fihockey website on how they compute the rankings, you will see that it is a weighted average over four years. So OG, CWG, AG, CT, WC regional championships, bilateral events, etc., everything is given weightage.. And bilateral series count for pean...

Only if GTRE has delivered the bolded part we wouldn't be going around looking for new engine. The news is that Kaveri is only producing 65KN not 81 that it was suppose too. 65kN is not enough for even the original LCA which needed 81kN, the current Mk1 requires 90+kN that is out of kaveri's reach ...

Come on guys, let us not get cynical here. UID card is just a process and not the end of all our woos. I guess few of us are expecting a bit too much from this project in a small span of time.

Asit sir, as far as I know through my readings on BRF the radar that will be integrated first on LCA MK1 for initial opterational clearence will either be a hybrid of our MMR and Elta's 2032, or would entirely be the 2032. Elta's 2052 would in all probability be considered for the MK2 version of th...

And what of the Dhruv that had a fatal just before the last Bangalore airshow? I agree that the co pilot was killed. However, we must also remember that the pilot escaped this crash.
