Rudd is being heavily bribed by Chinese. I am surprised that Aussies are not taking any action against him. Don't they have a system of impeachment or no confidence vote? I think you'll find that in most democratic countries it takes far more than just a short sighted and narrowly focused foreign p...

You can get hybrid solar/electric or solar/gas systems anyway.

Let me get this straight... You want India to go for the twin engined PAKFA because it will give us strategic reach and the ability to strike at enemies wherever they may hide anywhere in an enormous radius around the country, and have a long range platform ready for naval adaptation that can interc...

India train runs over 11 pilgrims The incident happened after a passenger train packed with Hindu pilgrims travelling from the city of Gonda to a local festival in Karnailganj town halted after some pilgrims pulled the emergency chain to collect water from the holy Saryu river. The pilgrims got dow...

Suggest someone save relevant reports to HDD. Read an article which said that the CIA's been reclassifying a lot of run of the mill previously declassified stuff under the present government.

Why exactly would you want India to spend hundreds of millions of dollars building a road from the Indian side of Maoist infested Nepal all the way to the Chinese side, just to get to a barren 8000m high rock? There's no revenue to be gained from tourism..if someone thinks its interesting enough to ...

*sigh* Oh For crying out loud. I'm going to stop with my off the cuff sarcasm and hyperboles since they seems to generate more discussion than the actual issue at hand. I wasn't saying that kill ratios are a sole gauge of effectiveness. NOT THE ISSUE. But I would rather be taking home as small a num...

wow, it is great to see some arm chair soldiers talk about short burst and what not. In combat, it is not a case of panicking or not. It is a matter of adrenalin rush. Ofcourse, the extreme stress can cause for some brown stuff to come rushing down through you know where. Worst of all in anti-terro...

Let me reply on this topic from more of a layman understanding:- 2. Belt fed LMG is heavier, requires extra barrel and has to be handled by two men team to be moved easily. At this expense, we can have two INSAS-LMG which will give higher effective rate of fire from two sources, with less risk of i...

I admit my small unit knowledge is almost entirely based on western doctrine, so input from someone well versed in IA tactics would be good :) But my point is enhancing the firepower of the section gives much more options, whilst not necessarily meaning ammunition wastage/inefficiency. Take for exam...

A good gunner only fires on a target in short 3-5 round bursts unless he's got 100000 chinese running up the hill at him. He should also have the brains to know that if he loses his target at night, stop firing and reacquire it. As for the recomposure, I can only assume it has the opposite effect. ...

EU the next super power

Somehow, when 500 million people have so little taste for military activities that they can barely cobble together a paltry 2000 extra troops to *secure* the Afghan elections, I have to wonder at their superpower aspirations..

davidn - here is my take on your question. I have been attending these aero-shows in Bangalore since the first in 1993 and I seem to have photos of all - except the 1993 show. But 2005 is the first year in which I felt that my own camera equipment (state of the art once upon a time) was inadequate....

Harry and Arun, did you guys ever consider shooting some of your pics towards the IAF webmasters? To be frank, your galleries are much more than a few orders of magnitude better than the IAF PR corps seems to be able to put out! Some of your photo's of the SU-30's and ALH's in flight are absolutely ...

In terms of exterior glitz/painwork, however there is some catchup to do. But hey I am willing to let TSP take lead on paint job. I dont mind. For what matter is shooting colourful Puki ducks. :twisted: I think we're learning, slowly. The ALH's, IJT's and the PV2 mockup were very very pretty indeed...

davidn

call me a bit naive, but for things like submarines, what is it that takes so long to evaluate? Have IN officers been driving the things around, or is the whole process based on paper specs and french charisma? I'm thinking the latter, since I can't imagine the Frenchies sending over someone elses S...

very nice harry!

just one Q, do you know what that little gadget behind the MARS sights of the Tavor with the M203 on it is?

most major exercises seem to take place in the Western sector. Are troops and formations from the other commands such as Eastern, Northern etc. brought in to give them some experience too, or are the formations all Western Command ones?

On the not so bright side...yeah the rest of their gear does leave a little to be desired.
