The blurred lines of the war in Iraq and Syria... The Yezidis have often accused the Kurds of helping ISIS during the Sinjar massacre. Here is a footage of Kurdish Peshmerga meeting ISIS soldier on friendly terms in Iraq in the Yezidi Post. http://yezidipost.com/2016/12/07/newly-discovered-footage-s...

If you are talking of the pass on the Indo-Burma-Tibet border then that is Jachep La. Thanks that is probably it but I have been unable to find a name. Will look for that. This is where a metalled Chinese road - provincial road S 201 runs along river valleys for 200 km from the main Chinese highway...

The name is Brahmaputra or Psong Po on Chinese side, I think. Anyways I was surfing on Google earth and trying to trace the origins of the Brahmaputra. just on Google earth it was gorgeous. Based on "historical" records, India can claim that valley no? Anyways, there is something called t...

OTOH, being an idiot jingo in reality, I do believe that China **CAN** lose a new war with India in a massive disaster. The scenario for a war is more like 1962: Chinese insecurity because Tibet and Xinjiang look like the pine tree in my backyard where I have already made 2 deep cuts, but am not qu...

You're talking about the phase where you haven't established air superiority with active Air defence umbrella and enemy interceptors in the air. I'm not sure stealth makes strategic or tactical sense even here. And since the Americans have only fought against middle eastern third raters armed with ...

Actually, PAF will be happy endians think of their IAF as "Air Heads". What is even more encouraging is that moderators on a "knowledgeable" forum agree with it. And you may give your best to your airheads, but since they are airheads, PAF will blow them to kingdom come. Yo! PAF...

. (keeping only the part of interest) Just want to make the point that our IAF airheads, (who should spend more time learning on BRF?) have been called names for not emulating the US of A and here they are getting butt kicked by being accused of wanting to emulate the US of A. It is another matter ...

That is an amazing thing to say. I am sure you are a wiser than wisdom itself. A moderator has praised your words, no less. Allah -o-Akbar. Our PAF boys will be very happy. No offence intended, but I don't give a damn about the PAF. Let them have their chinese crap, their old F-16s and whatever els...

Anything to give your forces an advantage. So low observability in defence, if it gives our pilots an advantage, is something to be desired. OTOH, the monies spent on stealth aircraft can be used to build and train a fleet that is many times that of the stealthed fleet with concomitant freedom of a...

About Babur-3, we have to understand something. Babur-2 itself was inducted into service after just one test. It is clearly a Chinese LACM, CH-10 or C-602. The Chinese claimed to have developed a Submarine-launched cruise missile to be deployed on their Shang-class Type 093 subs last year. Characte...

^^ The PAK-FA/FGFA is hardly a medium fighter by any yard stick with a take off weight of ~ 35 T M2K UPG and Mig-29UPG has a service life of 25 years after deep upgrade , So we will see them in service beyond 2035 possibly till 2040. F-16 should not be a light fighter either they would come under m...

In the first version of this thread I was posting how US and UK were financing FSA and engineering regime change in Syria. How there were no `moderate rebels`.

The Chinese couldn't have done a better job of snubbing opposition than the above example. Shiv has more than a point.

I remember the Tanks on Tiananmen. Silenced more than 02 generations in China now. I didn't know that the impact was so strong in Delhi.

Quoting my post here : Rudradev, Thank You. I agree with you that Islamists will be happy to have something to leverage with OBOR. Islam and its followers at large will not be very happy with it.

Broadly, the history of the world has shown Europeans using these two means of initial penetration in a society a...
