well Radia tapes indicate that 15% cut is quite common...

highlights the need to train the police and other agencies better. this is quite real. keep it up.

Israel bars AESA radar export to India source flightglobal Nice. It is going to have impact on American jets in MMRCA selection. Already there are many who go hysterical on mere discussion of choosing American toys. News item says Eurofighter is winning the MMRCA so the USA must have found out and ...

Vivek, what i can't understand is why our response via cruise missiles is so inadequate and minimal, aren't Brahmos and Nirbhoy going to be mass produced at your timeframe and used without restraint.. In any case thanks for taking the pain in writing up the well researched scenario's, its a real so...

i check for updates everyday. good writing is hard to find! i do not want to interrupt the flow hence i do not comment. please post per your convenience. of course daily update is better than weekly for us avid followers. thanks.

Infinite scenarios can be built to answer the above, the point is first it needs to be established if there exists a 'political will' to think along those lines. The fact is GoI does not want PoK back unless TSP gives it to us on a platter . exactly. my prior post was not actually specific to PoK. ...

Kargil was/is an administrative, political and strategical mess, salvaged to an extent by our best in the world soldiers on the frontline. It was an excellent opportunity to take back PoK, limited only to the extent that USA/CHINA would have stopped it at some point. But our government should have a...

regarding the collision, i note that FIR has been filed... RTI can be used to follow up if anyone wants to...

If the engine goes to GE, I would definitely like the rafale or EF for MRCA.

can someone please guide me to compilations (WORD/PDF files) of old scenarios. entire files in e-mail to funinagg at yahoo.com will be very much appreciated. thanks to the authors and compilers for this great work.

USA appears to be continuing the policy of arming TSP sufficiently so that it will withstand any Indian attack for a long enough duration by which a ceasefire can be arranged. This way USA will always have a tool i.e. TSP. And USA will make money from both TSP and INDIA. Makes perfect sense for USA....

[quote="Rahul M"][/quote] we should look for value for money. upfront unit cost or life-cycle cost is only one of the many factors. fair comprehensive analyais may favour procuring something costing double or more. common sense indicates that developing from scratch as per our own unique r...

^^^^^^^^^^^ Brilliant idea Fani. I guess the plan would also extend to ex-DRDO Chiefs ( and Scientific Adviser to the PM) who emigrated to the US after retirement ? And that the plan would also extend to ex-Railway, Telecom, IAS, Indian Oil, BARC etc. officers who dump their Govt. service to move o...

The stated IAF chief went on to become the India rep for the Israeli vendor!! The only way to deal with this is to separate the procurement process from the anti corruption investigation... conflict of interest has to be eliminated completely. no decision maker should be allowed to take up any conf...

except for PM, President and top level Defence Forces commanders, for obvious reasons, no other is worth protecting. such waste of money. for such incompetent people. these public servants should travel by train in general class just like most public does.
