Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion

Rianovosti Article on Indo Russian Defence Cooperation The Akash anti-aircraft missile system is a prime example.

Combat Unready Apologize if it has ben posted, but a very uncomfortable read. Coming from Sandeep Unnithan, I would not dismiss it out of hand. Most of the problems mentioned are known or suspected, but some of the statements made me cringe Unhappy with the indigenous 5.56 mm INSAS rifle introduced...

Re: T-72s in Chechnya, From Armour Magazine

Nitin, GOI/MOD should come out with a clear statement on the status of Arjun. Ambiguity on their part, repeated hankerings in the press about the "failed MBT program", and to top it all the CAG reports keep the doubts smouldering in people's minds. Don't really care if the cost involved is...

Re: T-72s in Chechnya, From Armour Magazine

Re: TSP: Al-Khalid MBT rolls out

A good strategist would never underestimate his adversary. The Pukes did in all the wars..and Indians were ready with what the Pukes never expected. <P>IA should carefully look at their claims, and make sure we have all the means to counter them.<P>Abhay
