Is the nuclear reactor on the INS Chakra handled by an Indian crew or a Russian one?. IIRC the last nuclear sub we leased had the nuclear reactor handled by a Russian crew throughout the lease period.

If you google, there is plenty of talk of the helos being something special - the tail being one getting the most attention. Whatever, we can certainly expect China to produce something similar now they have a sample - with paint and all. China would make an inferior copy even if they had the whole...

Helicopters can be refueled in mid air...which is also probably how they went from Afghanistan into Pakistan for the initial operation. Black Hawk helo: RANGE: 373 miles (600km), 882 miles (1,421km) with optional auxiliary internal fuel These were special ops helos too, so I would suspect they had ...

Dear Gurus, I have a small query: How was osama's body taken from near Islamabad to USN Carl Vinson which was positioned somewhere in the Arabian Sea? (hopefully, in international waters) It cannot be taken by a chopper as there is none that can travel that much distance (more that 1100 kms http://...

The only options visible to the government are the positive moves. That is why I said, "we go to war with the Government we have". Fair enough. Good reasoning. Much is centered on leadership issue. But it is imperative to track how the hindu population in Bangladesh has fared historically...

You could pull a link connecting Kerala/Delhi/Hyderabad/mumbai but realistically all these areas are surrounded by heavy Hindu presence. I guess one of the few benefits of the Islamists moving away from the Indian village countryside and getting heavily concentrated in few urban ghettos. However the...

Some interesting posts but China will never let the NE get overrun by Islamists...they are not stupid they know they would be next. After all the Chinese are the same idol lovers just like the Hindus. However the NE is in real danger of muslim separatism..the other pockets of heavy Muslim presence l...

If USA is to be relegated to a place comparable to the one held by UK now, its going to a take a LOT longer than 20 years! :lol: US Economy is 14.56 Trillion $ (As per current price).

So I guess we will get the full ToT of engine,isnt it ? abrahavt Saab still needs Uncle's permission to offer TOT for the engine and that is by no means certain.

NATO leasing aircrafts in Afghanistan or Iraq is not a similar situation.. If the chicken neck is cut, probably there is no airfield safe enough in NE to land troops on anyway . In any case the point is that of many cases that exist that would need airlifting tanks (remember the previous context wa...

Nair

I don't understand the argument that you can lease transport when needed....so if the chicken neck is broken due to a massive Chinese invasion is the IAF expected to lease aircraft to fly troops into the NE?

NATO leasing aircrafts in Afghanistan or Iraq is not a similar situation..

The big question is can India launch a Super Hornet from IN carriers? Bear in mind that USN carriers are a lot bigger + they have steam catapults for extra thrust. Do you know if a SH can take off from a ski-jump from INS Vikramaditya/Gorshkov? Yes, Boeing has stated several times that the SH can l...

3. Fair enough. In my first post, I said "We need to have a singular language. So we can choose Hindi since it is the most spoken. " . What part of it is not clear to you ? Hindi is the best candidate simply because ~41% of the citizens speak it. The next best is Bengali with ~8%. Since w...

I find the pie chart quite interesting. Aren't Muslims supposed to make up at least 15% of the population? If so, have they also witnessed a decrease? I have many Muslim and Christian Indian friends and funny thing is they're not religious at all. They all smoke marijuana, drink, eat pork, etc. It'...

One thing we have to keep in mind is that the FinMin has to give its nod to the deal. So it is far from done. I for one don't believe they will sanction $5.8 billion for 10 aircraft after the A330 MRTT episode. So if the price negotiations fail to bring down the price to acceptable levels the deal ...

They are not a logical choice if they are subject to sanctions at anytime for any reason by the US for the next 40-50 years . At this point they then become 26,000 crore hangar queens - not a logical choice of transport for the next 40-50 years as we would want! --------> Sanctions means they canno...

Pretty unbelievable...why did they not have 3 subs built in France. This is really really stupid.

the IL76 can also land within (IIRC) 950 m or about 3000' on unpaved runways. I believe that landing distance may be with ferry load, with the light load the C17 demonstrated in AI2009 the landing distance for the IL76 is (IIRC) 450 m or about 1500' ! Let there be open competition - if the C17 is a...

LPR = Legal Permanent Residents (Green Card Holders)...giving citizenships to people is not bad,giving to children of people not US citizens is another thing.

It depends if you consider an LPR a "foreigner". Although illegal immigrants are not exactly out of US jurisdiction either, they pay income taxes, and apparently are going to receive medical benefits! Paying income tax is hardly the proof of being an American.Nearly half the country does ...

Yes I changed my post to reflect that. The SC has never said anything one way or the other it and it depends on the definition of the word "jurisdiction". I doubt the original meaning of the word will be upheld as it will not even apply to legal immigrants who are not citizens. But as of ...

Nair

What is LPR? Why is giving citizenship to people with visas bad? The US needs to continue importing skilled immigrants to the US. As for citizenship to children of illegals, if their children are born in the US, then they are unequivocally US citizens by the Constitution, that cannot and should not...
