Ultimately, irrespective of who builds the Kra canal, the one who controls the Kra canal is the one who controls the Thai Govt. Suez got nationalized. So, builder can get shafted.

The strike actually makes a good case for fixing the OFB problem and may even energize the govt to do so. The irony seems to be lost on the trade unions.

The private JV they are planning for AMCA, they should do it first for MWF. Only then we can order it in bulk to make it the backbone of IAF for next couple of decades.

Issue with OFB is that while we and military look upon them for the defense of the country, the netas and unions and babus look upon them as job guarantee scheme at lower level and free perk scheme at higher levels. I'm kinda sad that GoI is stopping at corporatization. I want to see real privatizat...

Instead of breaking it up by verticals, it should be broken up into 3 or 4 units which combine the relevant technologies.

Regarding Taiwan, IIRC Taiwan has the same PRC policy for Tibet. So, asking us to abandon the "One China" policy related to Taiwan but without being explicit about their stance on Tibet is a bit disingenous. I think we should publicly revoke the "One china" policy regarding Tibet...

Correct. The current press release clearly says southern banks of the lake itself, so opposite to the Fingers area.

That would make it somewhat east of Chushul.

The current plans for transshipment port is for the Great Nicobar Island near the six degree channel. If the Kra actually happens and becomes successful (quite iffy at the moment), the transshipment port would be way too south. We'll need it in the north abutting the ten degree channel.

I second tsarkar's thought on ATGM equipped tanks. The issue with the gun is the range - it is effective within a short range against a mobile target like another tank, and the enormous weight penalty of that on the turret. An ATGM has double the range and thus can strike from much farther - in theo...
