Andy Bawa(Jackie shroff) says while addressing a distress call from Major Chandpuri that we only have Hunters at this base and they do not have night flying equipments.

Re: Possible Indian Military Scenarios - XII

Any Mainak Dhar fans here? I need some clarification. Is the book 'Line of Control' the same as the book 'Flashpoint'? it seemed to have the same set of characters in it.

Re: Newbie Corner & Military Miscellaneous

Could have done something like what the amriki did with F-16. But i guess the ruskies do not have that aesthetic bit in them. And yes if it performs better then it fine no matter how it looks like.

@ Rahul M So if you say they are then taking that the Indian missiles CEP is around 2 times more accurate than Paki missiles. So we would probably then need a warhead half the size of what wud be in a Paki mijjile? IMHO that would mean that the total Indian weapons grade plutonium is actually half t...

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion

You say 400-500m, would that in anyway affect the size of a Nuclear warhead? I mean since our doctrine is not just blowing stuff up with the nuke, wouldn't the Indian missiles need a lower yield warhead to overwhelm a target as compared to the one with 400-500m?? or is that distance negligible enoug...

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military

Well, I read in a book about Kargil war long ago, i think the one Mr. Sawant wrote that IA did use Air burst HEER shells.
Before this it was timer fuzes. They calculated the time it would take for a shell to land and then time it to explode just seconds before it to create an air burst effect.

The IN's plan seems to be to pressure Pakistan not by sinking its ships but by choking their sea based economy by cluttering the harbor with enough damaged ships so no new ships can come and de-board any cargo.
