[ Now if you look at Operation Falcon as a indicator to the use of the Mi-26 in combat at high altitude, you might never want to let it go out of service at all.

So the India/US ratio is 4/1.8 = 2.2 From the point of view of an average family, the Subedar in India is paid more than two times what his counterpart is paid in US in comparative terms. :roll: :roll: :roll: MohanG, this is nothing but madrassa mathematics when you are not taking into consideratio...

About WoP. What changes from 1947 till now do you grudge? Moving constitutional authorities above service chiefs, or moving the Cabinet Secretary above service chiefs? What else has got changed? Where, in your opinion should the Service Chiefs be placed? Have you looked at the case in Britain {whic...

MohanG here are some hard numbers for you. A subedar in the Indian Army with 28 years of service will get 21,080 per month or about 2,50,000 Rs per annum. try living in a medium town for a familiy of four. best of luck with getting some good education for your kids. http://www.indianmilitary.info/20...

If a place in WoP is so important, then I would imagine no officer would like to work in the US military. Because, no matter how hard they work and how 'suitable' they are for a military job, even at the pinnacle of their career (as Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff) they would still be placed below m...

unfortunately, 'you' do not make that decision and the IAF as a disciplined branch of our armed forces would wait for govt permission to overfly BD. and who knows if and how quickly GoI would permit IAF to overfly BD. well exactly my point. the only chinese general who decides to plaster the indian...

a well aimed 1000lb'er or a cluster munition would shut down all your runways quite easily. the key is not to let the field be struck and if it is, to clear it quickly Lalmullah, dropping a well aimed 1000lber would need it to be a PGM. and to use a PGM, you need to have superiority of the skies - ...

another thing i discovered is that these runways are really wide - a skilled pilot can use just half the width of the runway . you would need two bombs / direct hits or a bomb that smacks right down in the center (width wise) to make a runway unoperable. reaquires a skilled paki

to do that.
