Reset to tank warfare due to the threat posed by drones. 5 of the 31 Abrams destroyed so far by drones. US military advisors going to re-formulate tactics and re-train the Ukrainians. lQ4bO6xWJ4k The threat from drones capable of damaging or destroying tanks is over stated. If the tank is able to m...
The speed of the ship provides wind over deck. That in turn improves the takeoff performance of fixed wing aircraft. When operating from aircraft carrier.
Interesting that the Turkish think that you can operate the Hurjet and a potential naval varient KAAN from a 25 knot aircraft carrier and that too without any catapult.
^^^ Slow moving drones are really only useful as saturation decoys . Exhaust SAM batteries. Lesson for India is to induct more affordable AD options for countering drones. Using Barak-8, Akash etc not sustainable in large numbers. I have been thinking about the part in bold for some time. My initia...
X posting from the IAF thread. Isreal hit Ishfan with Rampage. IAF procured them too. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/israel-hit-iran-with-half-ton-rampage-supersonic-missile-report-2024-4%3famp That means that the Arab states cooperated with Israel against Iran. Saudi Arabia an...
From TOIlet Iran state TV says reports of 'big explosions' heard near Isfahan Israel_Iran War Live: Iran suspends flights over several cities, says Iranian state media So the fun and games have begun! IMHO this escalation looks like a way to ween away Iranian production of weapons for Russia into t...
Yet people continue to spend of buying votes. I know of a village panchayat election where cash was distributed in a certain Tola to a certain numbers of persons. The elections was lost by that number of votes from that particular Tola. The common amount needed to win Panchayat elections is between ...
AFAIK from discussions with friends in the AF, I have gathered that typically the total number of AAM's procured is based on the total number of aircraft that the enemy possesses and the Pk of the missiles plus stocks for live fire training and carriage life expiry. We don't willy-nilly procure hig...
If the objective is to protect against the drones. Then trying to protect everything thing will become too expensive in a hurry. So much so, that the enemy would have bankrupted us a long before firing his first shot. We will have to be smart and decide what is the infrastructure that must be protec...
And I’m sure that the explosions and killings that took place in Iran were not the work of Mossad, were they? Let's assume for a minute that they were conducted by Mossad. Why should those people not have been targetted? Iran is a country that has threaten to wipe out Israel from the map. The peopl...
I have a conspiracy theory about Rahul Gandhi. He is a dynast in a party, the stewardship of which has resulted in the loss of his grandmother and father. He was afraid for the safety of his mother after 2004. Could it be that he has decided to destroy the Congress party, root and branch? If the Con...
How do you know that it's Israel that was killing people in Iran? Has Iran presented any evidence of Israeli involvement? Or have they tried and convict anyone for those killings? All we have is a lot of noise and little concrete evidence of anything. We have a lot more evidence of Iran backing both...
'Western Universalism' on full display https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N3Z27PxpxSo Sorry sir, Watching this man ( George Galloway)speak is like volunteering to get your brain cells obliterated. All those who are saying that Iran has a right to self defence. Has to answer the following question. What...
One option would be escort and protection of only Indian owned merchant ships. Then again Indian nationals are part of the crew of a lot of international merchant marine. Extend protection to Indian commerce in the following way. 1) Any ship, originating from anywhere in the world to any port in In...
My distress is anti piracy and disaster ops will cut into IN.fighting ability. Maybe designate only certain ships are tasked to this mission. The size of the Indian Navy has to increase as our economy and trade grows. That's the only way we can keep our sea lanes open and safe from unfriendly powers.
I dont get why GoI is not open to a strategic investment in Embraer and use their planes for our defense needs. Great opportunity IMO and Brazil will be open to it IMO. Their has to be a business case for such an investment. Either the IAF through the MOD or the Ministry of civil aviation has to ma...

Suddenly reminds people of paucity of teachers in Jharkhand and not a squeak until now Question the election Mazara kya hain He is one of the associates of Amartya Sen. He is a naturalised India...
I am concerned about the reaction of Indian Shia Muslims. Second. do the Iranian Mullas think that they can keep their civil society in check in the face of US and western military pressure. Third, in the face of Iranian efforts to block the straits of Hormuz. Will the Saudi and UAE navies keep quie...
A2A missiles are not purchased at regular intervals. It is a rare event. However, in a higher threat environment it would be prudent to stockpile more. The question is, and I am not keen to know the official answer to, as on today how many of the Sukhois and other a/c are Astra capable. Most likely...
The logical reasoning from IAF maybe that they have enough stockpile of imported A2A BVR missiles in their kitty and it may not make economical sense to order more Astra Mk1 at this time but as more and more Tejas Mk1A joins the IAF fleet, they may order in the next 3-4 years. Once Astra Mk2 is rea...
Looking at the situation I cannot take a definite stand, if a war is inevitable or the current unstable situation will continue till everyone is exhausted and just goes home. Because even though everyone is focusing on the proxies being used by Iran. Unkil also has his proxies and they have attacked...
German Government Throws Weight Behind Indian Navy’s Submarine Deal https://bharatshakti.in/german-government-throws-weight-behind-indian-navys-submarine-deal/ 10 April 2024 Now I am well and truly frightened of this program. We are going to get boats that will not be able to engage any thing. :P
