My cynical take is HAL 100% knows it will not be able to deliver regardless of the radar change. It has floated this balloon of using Elta instead of Utasm hoping that there will be pushback and then it can justify the delay and its incompetence in project management.

On another note, not sure if anyone is following the controversy surrounding BBC and its Glastonbury coverage. Essentially a group called Bob Vylan started chants of “Dea.th to IDF” and the live coverage didn’t cut away. There is now the usual song and dance about it. Just shows the following: The P...

@Vayutuvanji, Would love to hear about your experiences and views. My experience was from late 90s early 00s… It is sad that Indian students have to go to places like Iran, Ukraine etc for higher education, in fact its a travesty. It speaks volumes about our shortcomings. In STEM, beyond the IITs/BI...

The UK has a historical animosity against Russia and it’s not just going back to the Cold War - it’s going back at least till Czar Nicholas II if not further.

I thought universities in US were essentially contract research centres for big companies. At least that’s what “industry-university partnership” meant. A long time ago at least, a lot of assistantships at post graduate level were directly funded by companies. Professors entered into 3-way contracts...

Thanks AmberG. A noob question, you say: Stage 3 – Thorium reactors (like AHWRs), producing and burning U-233 from Th-232 Doesnt the AHWR take a fuel bundle of Th-232 and UO2 MOX and PuO2 and Th-232 MOX? Why is Pu used in addition to U233 in the fuel bundle? Is it for breeder purpose i.e to get back...

No fair AmberG , I deserve at least partial credit for Q2.

FBTRs are an explicitly required step for thorium cycle as we never had enough Pu stock required for step 3. I guess I misunderstood the question, now that you explained it.

Iran seems to be incapable of protecting its key human assets from Israel. The latter has kept picking off many key personnel with impunity pointing to availability of timely intelligence. And this is not just now - its a pattern through last 2-3 years.

Cyranoji, the flaps angle is also unlikely. As you said, the 787 will alarm loudly if they are not set the moment it starts rolling on the runway. Plus it has an electronic checklist which will compare against current setting. The captain had 8000 hours of experience- he won’t make a mistake of 5-10...

There wasn’t a bomb. There are 2 separate cctv videos of the crash- none show an explosion.

The plant simply lost thrust to both engines and the pilots did incredibly well to glide it down as they did - notice they were nose up at the last moment, fighting till the end.

For those speculating Indian plane losses in Op Sindoor - compare the sheer amount of videos we are getting in this crash with zero in that case. Granted, that area isnt as populated but still…

My view is simpler: India just needs to be left alone so that it can rise and DJT is the best option for that.
