Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Nov 27 2017

I think one of the most potent (but will be opposed very hard) restriction could be, you can only short sell when you have direct interest in that company. Meaning you are short selling to cover your risk. Now you can trade that and the person holding that short can also trade. But you cannot be a r...

Re: Air Force Tejas Mk1A: News & Discussions: 02 January 2022

But is it not hemmed by only 20 f404 available per year from GE?
But if we are planning 30 a year, that means we already have many engines delivered. The GE site said over 120 GE F404-INS6 engine produced. Then 20/year can keep the line running at 30/year for a decade at least.

If you see official GE website, they mention 120+ f404 in 6 variant manufactured. Don’t know what to make of it, either we already have 120 engine...

Re: Su-30MKI: News and Discussion - 24 July 2021

SU30MKI with say 200-400 KM range standoff weapon is a very superb in breaking -the-door mission. In fact it is very stealth plane at that point. Many targets cannot see it and that can see cannot do much about it, except track the standoff weapon coming their way.
