We've debated this several times on this thread, it's not feasible, nor financially prudent to convert a commercial liner. Just because Airbus retains the same naming convention for the military version, it isn't the same. Eg, Boeing 737's are not converted to P8 variants. The Boeing P8 is differen...

Watching the US media with the exception of fox and some independent commentary, most of the others hate Trump to an extent that if he says not putting a bullet in your brain is good for health.

Trump has ties to drugmaker Regeneron -- and now its stock is surging ^ This is the article I glanced at in passing. It's a sensational headline, since buried in the article is this revelation - Meanwhile, Trump also recently owned shares of Regeneron (REGN) -- as well as Gilead Sciences (GILD), ma...

Read that Donald Trump has an investment in Regeneron, and would benefit from its soaring stock price because a treatment from Regeneron was administered to him. I must say he is truly milking the presidency for all it is worth in a very transparent manner! Not only back door pay offs via book deal...

Hi Pratyush, thanks for the response. The suggestion was that if we keep moving in (kind of a slow blitzkrieg you get the idea) as the Chinese move back there wont be a stationary target for them to hit. This is something they would least expect a shy India to do. After the loss of land they will b...

A crazy idea might be for the Pvt sector company to raise funds from the capital markets with an assurance that the funds invested in developing such a plane can be recovered by production of the jet for the IAF and any potential export customer.

Let's see if this can work.

But it will delay it indefinitely. Also, Modi is a not a defence expert by any means. It's the job of the RM and other experts to formulate the correct policies.
