...The Scorpene design has been compromised by the data leaks.... PLAN operates Kilos, so data should be easily available to Pakis. So our Kilos are ineffective.

There are only two ways forward: the IGMDP way (invest lot of money and focus for a long period and reap benefits and master the technologies) or the Tejas/Dhruv way (inhouse design and initially expensive foreign inputs and components that progressively gets desi over a period of time).

we are doing what korea and china did decades ago - cleanup the system. common man can work hard and earn an honest living. that is the social contract from BJP - not different from what Korea and China did.

The above article paints an incomplete picture on car ownership , almost every national highway now has tolls, some for every 25 kms. A 400 kms round trip using NHs will cost you around Rs2500 in fuel + Rs 600 in tolls = Rs 3100 today. Add another Rs 6000 to Rs 8000 for insurance every year (also r...

I feel sorry for L&T. They have in very good faith delivered on time, instead of following the OFB/DPSU rates. But tell you what - this the reason why the OFB/DPSU take half a dozen years to deliver on small orders: because the MoD orders are so fickle, it will lead to idle production lines whil...

This is a golden opportunity to file a PILs to derecognise Twitter as an intermediary and make it liable for all content censorship decisions it takes. Sometimes, we should take a leaf out of the leftist playbook. The wider issue should be also used to attach labels: pro-pollution, pro stubble burni...

I don't think the Ka 226 can be cancelled directly. There are optics issues involved, given that this was done at head of state level. So what HAL is doing is the time tested MTA/ FGFA tactics - keep doing chai biscoot negotiations forever, and then eventually have the IAF force them to drop it beca...

^^^ Correct me if I'm wrong. The GST is a consumption oriented tax - not the production oriented. So, if a state is not paying enough GST, it doesn't necessarily mean lack of industrial activity - it means lack of business activity (includes trading, retail, services etc) and also lack of last mile ...

Honestly, IMO, the 76mm gun was good enough. I don't foresee 2nd World War style shelling of land by the destroyers, to aid amphibious landings. To me, the aerial threat is much more critical and a large calibre, high rate of fire cannon that can engage aerial threats beyond the CIWS is critical. Th...

To kickstart the economy, it is important to vaccinate the working age population. So, I'd have prioritized working age adults and children over senior citizens (or atleast have a proportion of the three) instead of looking at senior citizens alone in next phase.

The question of filibuster etc is all too complex for me. I'm seeing it as a simple one: we grow more rice/wheat than we need (including buffer stocks). That's why the market price is low.

What is the solution to this ?

I think both sides are waiting for the other side to use force, to sway the public opinion to their side. The Govt has been smart, and has kept talking to them, waiting it out. I'm a bit nervous about 26th though.

One more thing. Piggybacking on IAF MMRCA (or whatever the heck it is called now) is going to result in hilarity.

Say Rafale wins again. How is the Navy going to operate Rafale-Ms with the wings that don't fit on the lifts ?

So now it has to go for CCS approval. Forgive me, if I have missed any step in between the two (AoN and CCS). By some miraculous event, the CCS also approves it in 2022.

Actually, my question is: Why should FCI procure from mandis anymore ? Why can't they (using current laws) procure directly from the farmer and cut out the mandi commissions ?

The Leclerc also has an autoloader. Does it also use two piece ammo or the long rod ?

srin

One important 'metric' that T(in) fans bothered to ask is the rate of fire between Autoloader and manual firing. In battle situation, not only the long rod but also the number of shots fired in a short time is important. Historically the rate of fire by manual loading is much faster than autoloader...

You know, what's really funny ? We have the Chinese claiming all sorts of technical advances and weaponry to use against India.

Is there any limit to the amount for tax-free agriculture income? If not, why not? I've been thinking about this, and it appears to be more complex than I previously thought.
