Re: LCA News and Discussions

Folks, I have made points clear, from my perspective. People who actually have to face the enemy, and who have given their lives and continue to live with the fact that they might not be alive tomorrow, get a lot more leeway in their actions and their behaviour, with regard to selection of the equi...

Re: LCA News and Discussions

Sirs, I think the fault lies on both side. HAL and DPSU are terribly inefficient and need competition from private sector. I think in next 10 -15 years we will see private sector coming in a big way in defense. Having said that India before 1990's was technologically laggard still we have come out a...

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

Peter Ashoka's famous change of mind is not about war itself. He was looking to occupy kingdoms using means other than war. It was a different matter that he got an avedic Buddhist advisor, which resulted in two things - conversion of Hindus into Buddhism by state/government/king - propagation and ...

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

Once Shivaji started paying them back in their own coin in 100 years Hindus defeated muslims and capture the country back. Even Shivaji (marathas) never destroyed a mosque or raped a women or force conversion on anyone. They never killed a captured solider. But for you they are equally culprit and ...

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

You first need to find the meaning of word massacre. if the army which is fighting in the battlefield, is killed it cant be called massacre. .. Acha. Then why did Ashoka have a change of heart? Are you trying to invent a new history of India?[/quote] killings on battlefield is different from killin...

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

[..] Dear peter look at irrationality of ur argument. If kalinga army did not surrender what was Ashoka suppose to do. stop fighting in mid way. Would that be logical.

Re: China Military Watch - Jan 11, 2011

Isn't it strange that India and China are the two world's oldest continuing civilization. Surprisingly they never fought a war in before 1962. its my opinion as a student of history that the problem is not China its the communist party of China. the communist ideology which needs presence of ememies...

Re: LCA News and Discussions

Dear All, I am very surprised by aggressive response to Mahadev's post. I think novice readers like me who are very enthusiastic about our own indigenous products would love to know where we stand vis/a/vis other proven platforms. If this cant be told with certainty than experienced BRFite can simpl...

Re: Indian Naval Discussion

Can any one tell me whether INS Chakra (Nerpa) will come with Ballistic missile or can it be used a second strike nuke deterrent.

Similarly when will INS Arihant is expected to commissioned will it be having a nuke missile to act as a nuke deterrent.

There is no point in taking them prisioner. We need to shoot them at site rather than birning them to India and feed them for 20 years and then make them Indian citizen.

If you want to stop piracy you have to be brutal

I tend to agree with Marut. I think in todays world it will not be possible for anyone forcefully come and occupy Indian terriotery. What could be the possible reason for China to attack India. One could be to humiliate us by a sharp and swift attack like they did in 1962. In any such attack their ...

Re: India selects Typhoon & Rafale for MMRCA shortlist - Par

I don't believe Rafale or Typhoon will be outclassed any time soon in indian neighbourhood... Making an aircraft with a blended fuselage does not make it as advanced or so called 5th gen. In terms of engine performance or integrated avionics or production quality China is still far from offering so...

Re: India selects Typhoon & Rafale for MMRCA shortlist - Par

I guess the aim for offering F 35 is not to spoil the MMRCA deal but to disturb India's FGFA partnership with Russia. Either they are eyeing our budge of 30 billion to sell us FGFA or they dont want India & Russia to develop FGFA.

Re: China Military Watch - Jan 11, 2011

I think two major events are going to happen which will increase India's strategic capability manifold. first is a nuclear submarine which will be leased by the end of this year and second would be INS Vikramaditya which we will get by December 2012 - Mid 2013. Once both assets come China will have ...

Re: LCA News and Discussions

According to me we wont see AMCA before 2025. Therefore we will see many newer version of LCA mark III, mark IV with improvements in Engines, Avionics, Radars etc which will make them a true 4 ++ generation fighter unless we get FGFA (2020's) and AMCA 2025's
