The "grant great power, but be able to hold accountable for abuse of power" model that obtained in the US for some decades is badly broken. The Congress is toothless; and the courts rely on the executive to enforce their decisions. The President can abuse his pardon power and give immunit...

<snip> Nonsense. If a Nav cluster cannot provide Nav info, then it is useless for the job. It can still send some memes, jump up/down and relay eggplant emojis / MMS messages, but its useless for its task. If we do not have a plan to launch under sat denial, then, we suck. FWIW, I think we have a p...

You are missing the point of my comment. In a war, these nav satellites are going to be targeted and degraded. What is our plan? Just operate without them or launch replacements? If the first, then fine. If the second, we will have to launch from Agni series and the sats launched should be effectiv...

This would be ideal opportunity to test out if we have any capacity to replace degraded/burnt up satellites during our scrimmages. Weren’t Agni series supposed to be able to launch satellites?

A new narrative peddled by brown sepoys, and immediately amplified by some agencies including Al-Jazeera. It is doubting the growth rate and GDP over the past (you guessed it right) two decades.

LPG to Natural Gas conversion kits are cheap and readily accessible. Heck, gasoline to CNG kits are also easily available. As far as meters, do they need physical access? Or proximity to read from their rfid reader?

We have a lab produced examples of engines. At best these are technology demonstrators. Making a commercial product is a whole another level. You need repeatable output with tight controls, which we have not demonstrated before.

Tis either of two: if it was a leak then the lab should have contained it within - maybe the lab was not build upto specs. If not it is deliberate. Which one is it?

Oh, come on. A leak by definition means containment failed. If containment didn’t fail, it’s not a leak.
