India Government Budget is 0.57 Lakh Cr. Population is 145Cr. Therefore percapita spend is 0.35L/year. dependency ratio is 47%. Therefore average tax of a working age person should be 0.51L per year. Less than 5% of India's population crosses 0.51L/Yr tax hurdle (my estimate). Most of the tax is pai...

An interesting analysis. I too wondered re the photo in the preliminary report and how early the RAT was deployed.

Would the switches be accessible to > a jumpseat passenger in the cockpit, like a deadheading crew member ?

There is a video explanation from an American Boeing Pilot (who is still flying planes) explaining probably a human error. Hi theory is : as the plane goes up from runway (2-3 degrees nose up and about 50 -75 feet up), the person who is flying says gears up. And the co-pilot then leans forward and ...

Snip: the Co-Pilot instead of grabbing the lever to pull under carriage up grabbed the lever to pull the flaps in. This resulted in loss of lift added with more drag from the undercarriage. Theory 1: Pilot Error Flaps up instead of Landing Gear Up, leading to loss of lift due to increased drag from...

Was IAF underestimating the PAF and Chinese weapons especially the BVR capabilities of J10 and JF17 + PL15 combo. Even if the PAF Fighter platform is worse than our platforms the longer BVR stick of PL15 (200KM) was more effective than the shorter range Meteor (140KM), MICA(80KM), Python combo on 7t...

No one denies that IA has dominance due to its A2G and G2G standoff weapons and AD grid that prevents opposing standoff weapons from being effective. However on the specific issue of A2A battle the PAF's J10/JF17 + PL15 Combo seems to be an overmatch for IAF. I am unhappy that we were not better pre...

The standoff air strikes by IAF (loitering munitions, drones) and AD grid (Akash Teer, L70, S400) of IA performed well. More Indigenous systems like Brahmos seems to have done their job in A2G and G2G roles. But IAF in A2A role against PAF seems to objectively underperformed. I am not very clear why...

So the presser reiterates what seems obvious: There is no large scale conflict... only some minor skirmishes being overblown into full scale war by jingoes on SM. De-escalation is in process on both sides and optics being managed to handle domestic and international stakeholders.
