Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

In 50s CIA did research on what is the basic criteria of NATION 'A' WINNING WAR FROM NATION 'B' OR VICE VERSA. The answer was whichever nation produced Steel & Weapons more than the other will win. Our past Armed FORCES LEADERS with their wrong opinion "all future wars will be short and sh...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

Our MEA are like the Keystone Cops.Buffoons. Sending " befitting replies" ," strong demarches",blah,blah are useless when dealing with the Chinese.They'll use our babu protest letters as toilet paper- that is if they wash their stinking backsides. Booting out Chin diplomats is t...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

Do we know why even after after China's perfidy leading to the grisly death of 20 Indian soldiers did GOI not summon China's ambassador and issue a strong demarche? On the other side, China has the temerity to do exactly that. Why are we still so obsequious to the bloody Chinese? Will we never lear...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

Aren’t they sitting inside a death trap? Is it really so smart to be stationed inside the gorge? Ironic isn't it. They are so sure that India plays by the Queensbury rules that they are willing to bet their lives on it. It would be funny in other circumstances. is it because we play by the rules or...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

India should not establish a precedent that all that it takes for an enemy to get India to deescalate is to capture some Indian armed forces personnel and then release them. It happened with Abhinandan and it has happened again with these 10. What about the PLA honoring the agreement reached on Jun...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

should we not expect some form of retaliation now? isnt that the reason why we see such high chinese build up? to prevent our retaliation? if this stops here, there will be serious issues on the credibility of our next confrontation. or even on our ability. this will embolden adversarial attitude in...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

I know our weakest link is the PR and the chinese are masters of propaganda , so expect "leaks" of the captives in days and weeks to come. how come both TSP and China are both masters of propaganda? there is something else to it. are we not strong enough to fight them and retaliate now? j...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

Rising Star has begun his tenure with 43 casualties of PLA as compared to 20 casualties of the enemy. That shall be greatly appreciated in the Corridors of Beijing.---43 people are not confirmed and you can bet that what is spun to the the Chinese populace will be a very different. 2016 - To Date -...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

End result, thanks to inordinate delays in decision making,we are not totally ready both in mil.hardpware,plus,border infra. for seamless logistics,etc. Neither do we have a counter move ready as our grand strategy vs China is supposedly absent or a work in progress. China has for long worked out i...

Re: Tejas Mk2 Medium Weight Fighter: News & Discussion - 23 February 2019

Saar you are doing too much, they can paint them in any colour. I will eat crow soup(admin's favourite dish nowadays) if they release a full scale MK2 mock up even in band party livery by 2022. Overall, back in 1999 we had a dream to have one aircraft project done and my mind is not able to believe...
