But wouldn't some of these missiles be reserves/backups?

sawant

Like all ballistic missiles, example the old Polaris missiles and the current Trident missiles use internal gyros for stability in flight. so Agni dosent need any stabilizing fins on the missile more detailed information about missiles http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/navy/nrtc...

just wondering.. no stabilizing fins on the missile ? how does it correct its path then...

Just wondering was the flight path and waypoints pre-determined ... if so I am not sure if the IAF has a process where a rescue aircraft is on standby for all flights that can quickly take to the skies once ground control thinks there is a problem.... I guess not just technology but the process and ...

Great post by Rudraji...

I hope they review all the border roads to ensure all our tanks including Arjun can go through... else every 10 years there will be more digging and shovelling... and I hope they try to broaden the tunnels/bridges as well... else it may jam the whole route...

But Typhoon is already in service with Saudi Arabian Airforce. This means that Pakis and eventually the chinese will be able to lay hands on this fighter. Similarly UAE has ordered some pretty advanced Rafael fighters. This also will be accessible by the Pakis and the chinks. In that sense Pak must...

Germany with a population 1/5 that of ours at the time of second world war had approx 5 million soldiers that is more than 200 divisions It's doubtless that we need more, but having conscription like Germany or plain numbers like the Soviets is not going to help us in the long run. Besides such a h...

My only Q about choosing either the Rafale or the Typhoon is that both are more expensive than the SU-30MKIs,which are supposedly superior to both and which aircraft will the IAF in future use as "bomb trucks" for close-support/ground support? Would not the MKIs and MMRCAs be sanitizing t...
