Incidentally I was quiet surprised to read claims about Al Khalid being capable of firing pakistani 125 mm DU rounds 'Naiza'. Reversed engineered by the Chinese perhaps?

Extremely sparse. And only for some. And that too in broad terms (front glacis protection against APFSDS and HESH). Finally very very difficult to cross confirm across sources. Likewise for main gun penetration capabilities. That has another problem - comparable uniformity. For example, you will get...

Only glad to contribute, Ramana ji. I had actually included the rows for armor protection (front) but had hidden them as either the information is very sparse (as expected) or the discrepancies are too varied (especially between the western and eastern sources). I will make another attempt to collat...

Ramana sir. I have attempted to capture the comparison points for some 15-20 MBTs * Sources - Wikipedia, Army Technology, Army Recognition, Tank Nut Dave, Fprado etc ( please note that there were occasions of variations in numbers across different sources. Typically 5% to 10% ) Image 1 - Arjun, Paki...

I was referring to the brave unknown (to me) co-pilot, Shiv ji.

Unless i have read the post by Deejay sir wrong, Air Commodore P Sharma, the pilot, is the brother of BRF poster Arun_S.

Hi Manish, would really appreciate if you could drop the Sir. Fortunately for me Arun_ S ji has shared a link from BRF database of the citation which I am sure can only be for this photo.

Wow. Thanks Sir. Such a treat to see such rare pics and to hear about the events behind them. I am crossing fingers that BR hasn't lost the old posts.

Ramana sir. I have been looking for the compartive list for a long time too but have not found it. Will be really interesting to see it (a major portion would be classified though) Here are some mentioned in an article A DRDO scientist who spoke to Defense News would not comment on the Army's modifi...

Deejay sir can you give some details on what that Op was.. that's the perfect example of living on the ~~knives~~ rotors edge

I checked the date of the article to see if it was 1st April... well close enough

At least they could have shown an serving Russian aircraft or even a russian concept plane, instead of the 'old hag' F-16.

Thank you. I framed my question wrong but your answer has clarified the point i was wondering about.

Manish_P

I am not. What i am saying is that we are engaged in an ongoing war, and are not at peace.

Noob question to Tsarkar and Deejay sirs - is paradrop from Helicopters more risky in general, as compared to fixed wing aircraft ?

Even at peacetime Shiv sir, beg to slightly differ from you (and perhaps 99.9% of others on BRF) on this. IMHO we are not at peacetime. Never have been. Ever since our independence we have been forced into an existential war. One which will end only when either our enemy (the physical and the ideol...

Does anybody know anything of this procedure and why this is necessitated over just landing the heli and offloading the payload. Or offloading through a winch. With...

Sad news. May they be at peace and may their families find the courage to bear the enormous loss.

King Khan didn't sign up on this particular provision, and others, of the convention, I think.

Hague Convention? Of year 1899 ?? Since India was ruled by Britain at the time, surely we are not signatories... And anyway even in regular warfare soldiers are shredded by miniguns, cut up by 20mm, 30mm anti-armor rounds, incinerated by Napalm, vaporized by HEAT rounds, pulverised by 'x' kg bombs.....

You also need to factor in parameters like TO weight, external load out, airfield altitude, air temperature & density at flying altitude

But are there not reports that the Chinese are expecting as much as 80% of the loans to be written off/ defaulted

Full auto is hardly ever used by trained forces. Even by belt fed LMG/MMG providing suppressing fire. Even more so in the Indian army where accuracy (of firepower) and economy (of ammunition) are given due importance.
