Seems the US lost 3 F-15s over Kuwait to friendly fire. "US Central Command has just now said three of its F-15 jets "flying in support of Operation Epic Fury" - the US operation against Iran - "went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident". All six crew e...

It takes 10 years to integrate and make a product - see LCAMK1A. It is non trivial exercise. Unless the Super30MKI is done on both MKI and Su57 at the same time. This wont work. True that, our institutions need to first show our competence in modifying russian aircraft by carrying out the super suk...

Tejas Mk2 hasn't even seen a prototype rollout yet and you're acting like it's on the verge of entering production. There's a full phase of ground testing, flight testing, weapons testing, climate testing, etc. for it to go through with thousands of test points and well over 1500-1600 test flights ...

Unless there is a total ban on foreign firms or their subsidiaries in India from selling artillery in India, our import pasand people in the relevant services will lways find ways to reject the best of our systems and look for loopholes to induct foreign ones.

All these rush of information with suggested timeline of signing the deal for the suggested 114 Rafale seems to perfectly line up with the upcoming first flight of the Tejas MkII !!!. The DRDO chief had said in the interview that the MkII will fly out this year. All the hurry to swamp the headlines ...

They are talking of producing MILLIONS of drones per year by Russia and Ukraine. So where are we in that? I guess drones, especially the ones that are not MALE or HALE, are evolving a bit too fast, where, one tactic would work for a maximum of a week or for just a few days and then suddenly the oth...

We are only interested to keep our houses clean and dump everything outside. Earlier rural areas were clean, now i see garbage(plastic, liquor bottles and quite a few times shit)almost every where in the villages. The majority of the garbage was biodegrabable so even if they were thrown around they...

$468 Million deal - just like that. And the word "Atmanirbhar" thrown in the press-release, to apply salt to the wounds Maybe Martlet is a good missile. Maybe Modi needs to show something for the India-UK FTA. But no GSQR, RFI, RFP, Protracted trials. No Rohitvats asking "How does it...

So we are now buying short range Martlet SAM's from the UK. Did not know this was even in contention.

In all these, I am wondering if RUDRAM finally got to taste blood? The rambhas would surely have had a lot of targets to pick with the pakis lighting up the sky with emissions from their chinese maal. Would be a great time to test their real life effectiveness during this ops.

SM is showing US soldiers in uniform in BD. There was a visit by senior State Dept officials recently. What is the Trump administration up to? Providing support to the Arakan Army. Bangladesh gains by getting rid of their Rohingya problem as they will be settled in the Rakhine state, and the US get...

Seems like there is trouble brewing in the Hill tracts. We should pay more attention to them and cultivate them. These Hill tribes have been fighting against the influx of people from the mainland for several years and only in 1997 was a peace deal signed. There are still groups fighting there. http...

Are you suggesting it is possible cut BD into two - India taking everything north of the line connecting Chingishpur just west of BD border to Dalu which is just east of BD border? There will be lot of pressure on Bharat unless we can make it a very short and sweet fait accompli before anybody wakes...

BD is talking about "liberating" the NE Indian states. This is similar to the Kargil strategy, where Pakistan did not expect India to do anything, but accept the outcome. Ah!!! I surely hope the beedis try this. Nothing would give us a better chance than this to take CHT and cut the head ...

Since the Paki Fauj is the biggest consumer of the budget, can the IMF put requirements that Pakistan should slash its defense spending for more bums, missiles and aircraft. Despite their economy tanking, they acquired the J-20 from iron-brother. Where is the money coming from? Just conducting Bala...

Seems to be Brahmos missile... Yes, Based on speed and range profile it seems so, hoping that it is just a a wayward malfunctioning missile that burned off its fuel in pretty quick time leading it to speed up at an extraordinary rate.

Namo's visit is linked with improving ties with India, the main reason for which is to improve their economic condition, not because they have any love for the banias but only for self preservation. If Namo is visiting Pakistan in a month's time it means normalization of ties and their business folk...

Wow, their economy really must be in a bottomless shithole if they have to resort to selling an imaginary Modiji's visit to Beggaristan to buoy up their morale. “If things improve between the two neighbours, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi could visit Pakistan in a month,” the chairman of Nishat...

Question is, what is that 47k crores for FY22-23 going to cover by way of CAPEX projects? It suggests some big ideas at work...

It isn't impossible to reach 50 km with a RAP round and using a 155/52cal system.

Don't know. Just reading the India khabar link listed above, quoting the range with extended range and guided rounds. It will be what ever the PRC has developed. Lazer guided is based on USSR tech. GPS equivalent guidance should not be that hard to achieve by PRC. "The SH15 has a maximum firin...
