I would love to, if you would be so kind as to provide a link. Thanks in advance.

I like to read BB's tweets; I give him more credit than what he generally seems to get from other Rakshaks.

... Our too-cautious & must-never-fail approach was one of the reasons why the Tejas took as long as it did. ... This is true, but I will here cite the old comic strip Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us". Let us remember that the "too cautious and must never fail" app...

Farooq, Omar, Mehbooba who have vested interest need to be put out of media access immediately. They need a hell of a lot more than that. If Farooq Abdullah's statement is really some kind of a wink/nod of encouragement to China, he has committed treason and should be put up against the wall in fro...

Others are reporting doctors are lying and he is on oxygen. It is unthinkable (at least to me) that any self-respecting doctor worth his/her professional oath would come out and lie to the public about the health of the President. What they may do (and what these doctors clearly did at this press c...

You know, DavidD is a nice guy and all, and unfailingly polite in his debates here, and I commend him for that -- but really are we taking seriously his question of "Why would China pick a fight with India for no reason? What do they have to gain by it?" The answer to this question is so o...

Agreed.

Igorr, it's at least 15 years since I last saw you on this forum. Welcome back. All we need now is for Avraam to show up here again.

The mythical Han rocket force will now get its teeth punched in if they try something beyond their propaganda videos. Why "mythical"? Are you saying PLA rocket forces don't exist, that it is all a gigantic HAN propagandu bluff? Or is your statement just an effort to give the PLA "H&a...

We're pretty inscrutable for the Chinese too. ... They do not understand what we're up to. According to their logic, we should clearly see that we are inferior, give up and bow ourselves to their will. Just as the Pakis did. :D Seriously, I think they have been getting advice from the Pakis about h...

This, to me, still remains a classic, and one of the most beautiful aircraft built so far. Agreed. I think the original (i.e. pre-upgrade) Mig-21 single-seater was one of the most beautiful planes made. Of course, aesthetics is a matter of personal choice -- what's beautiful to me may not be so to ...

He points out a 9-12:1 ratio to dislodge a defender in the mountains. However, PGM from aircraft as was done in Kargil can make a significant difference. IAF airstrikes (PGM) in Kargil were not directed at Paki infantry positions, they were directed at the Muntho Dalo supply depot. Once the supply ...

Don't forget the history here. Mitch McConnell had absolutely refused to even consider Obama's nominee for the Supreme court in 2016 after Anthony Scalia died ... The history actually goes back a lot further than that. Robert Bork (1987), Clarence Thomas (1990, I think, or maybe 1991). That's what ...

Moved over from the Tejas thread.... By the way, it is funny to read that many in BRF have negative views on the F-21. No kidding! It is just that many in BRF believe (like a number in the IAF do) that what value does the F-21 bring over the Rafale? If, by "value", you mean technical/tact...

Did you wonder why I wrote this? Yes, I did wonder. And I'm still wondering. I'm probably just dense, but I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

Today the DBO airfield is 30 km from Chinese positions - well within artillery range. The Darbuk–Shyok-DBO Road is 7 km from Chinese positions - well within mortar ranges. Okay, but what you are implying (or hypothesizing about) is a situation where the Chinese "go kinetic" (start a serio...

That, plus the fact that the PLA of 1962 was much tougher and more battle-hardened than today's PLA.

From the Sunday Guardian:

Foreign diplomats praise India’s strong stand against China

They feel the head-on confrontation has enhanced India’s image as a ‘strong’ nation.

Despite what Nitin Gokhale and Vishnu Som say, I am convinced that we do, in fact, have possession and control of Black Top as well as Helmet Top. Our public denials of that are just a negotiating position we (i.e. GoI) are taking for some chankian purpose. To be clear, I am not accusing NG and VS o...

Whoa! We have finally made them go kinetic? Against the IA who commands higher ground where the defender has 4 to 1 advantage?

Other interesting tid bit from Snehesh Alex Philip's twitter feed - Army used "tactical signaling" to "dissuade" PLA from advancing towards Kala Top. I think this is an euphemism for firing in the air... May be, but I have a different theory (speculation, really): I think it mea...

It almost feels like USA wants a war here In case you hadn't noticed, many Indians want a war here. By my reckoning, most of the members of this forum want a war here. I certainly do. "War" in this context doesn't mean a full-fledged WW2-style show (Indian missiles raining down on Chengdu...
