“The first warning shot below the knee…” On the Bangladesh border, those attempting to obstruct the fencing work received a clear warning from the BSF: “The first shot will hit below the knee. The next might rip through the chest.” If Bangladesh cannot control its people, India knows full well how ...

Our Army seems more keen on rotating the tires than fixing the puncture How about equipping our soldiers with good BPJs, rifles, ballistic helmets, artillery, tanks, AFVs etc. Every single one of these are made IDDM by Indian companies to world-class standards. But no orders. But hey, lets do ORBAT...

Pralay a pseudo ballistic missile system as a replacement for a rocket? Apples and Oranges. These missiles are not for artillery formations but specialized missile groups that man the Brahmos kind. The cost of a Pralay is about $4 million a pop. The cost of a Prinaka Mk2 or Smerch is in the $150-$2...

I don't know why India bought the Apache Helo. One of them got stuck on the himalayan heights and had to be disassembled and brought back. MQ-9 reaper drones are sitting ducks and anyone can take them out. They may be expensive, just like the slow moving AWACS/AEWS and our Poseidons, but they would...

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.

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?

We are only interested to keep our houses clean and dump everything outside.

$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...

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.

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 ...
