Re: Tejas Mk2 Medium Weight Fighter: News & Discussion - 23 February 2019
Given the uncertainty surrounding GE and Safran engines, why are we unwilling to consider Russian engines for Tejas Mk2? I know they are not as good as western engines, but they are good enough for the first generation. Maybe we can have a 2.2 version with Kaveri/GE/Safran engines. Most ch8nese jets...

Re: Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!
Why the hell are we tolerating drone attacks? We should send out a clear and public message that a single drone attack will lead to abrogation of ceasefire and relentless pounding of PA assets. We can't let this be the new normal.

Everything's fair in war. Don't send your planes to conflict regions if you don't want to see it go up in flames. We need to shoot down all Turkey planes coming in.

All border towns and cities need bunkers and iron dome like city-wise protection. While curren...
