I still don't believe that Israel won't retaliate. Of course, it is in US interest (as well as all the nations going to elections like us Indians too) that there is no conflict between Iran and Israel, given the impact it'd have on crude prices and therefore, inflation and economy and consequently, ...

I don't think it's much of a choice. If they don't strike back and strike back hard, they will be regarded as wimps and Iran will be emboldened to do this again in future. They need to create the deterrence. It'd be political and strategic suicide. On the other hand, this maybe a nice trap by Iran t...

The problem is not in Hormuz strait, but in Persian gulf. If they start drone ship attacks on oil tankers, the oil price is going to go through the roof. They will estimate that this would cause the world to back a ceasefire.

They probably used Patriot missiles, but I am curious to know if Barak 8 were used and if so, how they fared.

A2A missiles are not purchased at regular intervals. It is a rare event. However, in a higher threat environment it would be prudent to stockpile more. The question is, and I am not keen to know the official answer to, as on today how many of the Sukhois and other a/c are Astra capable. Most likely...

Stupid move by Iranians. So far they were clever in having plausible deniability, however dubious, in the various proxy wars in middle East. This allowed them to confront Arab powers via Houthis, Israel via Hizbolla and probably Hamas. This also allowed them to have a nuclear program. They were also...

I'm quite interested in what HAL provides as timeline to complete the order. I'm hoping that with the orders in hand, they can scale up production and be done with deliveries by the time Mk2 is ready for production.

The NHAI debt burden is a serious issue. But because of fastag, there is a likely drastic reduction in toll leakage and so, with predictable and increasing toll collection, asset monetisation with InvITs, the debt should be somewhat sustainable.

Please do not encourage her. She can not win Hyd unless it is a three-way hard fight with Hindus voting en mass for her. No one in the local BJP likes her.

The Indian Navy will end up with a variant of the Type 214. All indications point to that.

It was a good idea (though not the most ideal) because the Govt would have demanded PAN and maybe proof of land ownership etc to carry it through. And it'd have reduced pulses import too.

The funny thing about the Ugram rifle news. They developed this 7.62x51 rifle because the army's original choice of AK-203 - which is a 7.62x39 caliber rifle - is delayed.
