Bharat Rakshak

I was very dissapointed to hear that both the tanks had mechanical failures during the biathlon. I could make out two things from it - 1. indians didnt prepare very well for the biathlon - unlike China- they sent tanks that were not tested & ready for the biathlon. China on the other hand not on...

Taiwan is an interesting story. Red China, it is asserted, can take over Taiwan any moment. The Taiwanese too know that they cannot hold out against a Chinese assault for very long. So why doesn't China take Taiwan over. let me make the excuses for you I have another theory here - why China would w...

[quote="YashG]Also would like to add this amazing peice of geo-politcal commentary - I think most of the things this guys say make sense. http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/doklam-standoff-india-must-pick-fight-carefully-when-it-comes-to-china-117080700119_1.html My comme...

If US were to drop in its hat in the ring I am not sure why a lot of people keep bringing the US into the picture. The US will not join a war between India and China. No, Its not me who's brininging US into the picture, the story I posted - its Meghnad Desai who brought US into the picture. I dont ...

Full Scale war with China likely soon!? http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/full-scale-india-china-war-likely-soon-says-meghnad-desai/1/1019794.html Usually if a Chinese media says this - I wouldn't be surprised (btw it already is pointing to some action in two weeks) but Meghnad Desai is a fairly re...

We never learn as a nation. Even nationalistic politicians I voted for are screwing Indian interests. Frustrating!

There are no nationalistic politicians - just politicians. Just like business, politics is a different type of business with an outsized CSR department & captive customers.

Reading all these editorials from Global Times and other Chinese mouth-pieces, I am astonished at the level of Chinese scholars' understanding of India. "If we push on sensitive border, India will join CPEC/OBOR", "India did this to show US it can contain India', "India is not o...

Guys is it only me or more people here think that Chinese mil hardware choices have something to do with their war philosophy - winning a war without fighting it. PLAN's varyag is not a war grade ship but they still bought it - because in a non war environment varyag is as good as any. Most of the C...

China has great reality distortion lens! Their international positions are most hypocritical among all major superpowers. They invoke a 'rule based' international order selectively (rule based for Indian candidature at NSG; Against 'rule based' UNCLOS in south china sea), treaty based (1890 accord b...

Fail to understand why do we want to show ourselves as the 100th descendant of gandhiji. With all his love for peace, in these matters we should demonstrate more firmness with words. If we dont have words to back up our actions what strength will be attributed to us. There is no point in repeating ...

Rohitvats, Do we have a definitive account hour by hour of Battle of Assal Uttar? I am looking hard and far but no avsil. Hi Ramana. I think this will help - in addition to already posted - this one also has a pretty detailed analysis of the battle & maps/formations. http://www.claws.in/images/...

I wanted to know from the forum veterans on the how the RCS for aircrafts that IAF, PAF & PLAF maintain will be a factor in theatres we engage. To start with, the theatres will have SAMs, BVRs etc. Will in such a situation long range or medium range SAMs come into play? How will RCS make an impa...

Did they quote any number, as to what orders lower than the MiG-21's RCS? You understand my position Kartik. 1. They did not tell me. I did not want the responsibility of knowing that figure. I did not ask. All I know is that it is much lower. In RCS much lower is used when there are order(s) invol...
