"you're peddling" Oh I remember only a handful of days ago you were crying foul when you were accused of peddling something too. IIRC, Raveen, your posts went way beyond the words of "peddling" when attacking Philip Why is everyone ganging up on Philip just because he happens to...

Rishi, hows the quality of construction and materials? How well do they do the upkeep? I would like an unbiased view of the Chinese infrastructure and its construction industry.

hgupta

Most likely it has to do with withstanding and sustaining higher temperatures that comes with AB or sufficient fuel flow to sustain AB thrust.

Seems rather strange to me..how the heck will B'desh be able to afford any worthwhile numbers of Apaches? Even India can barely afford 2-3 dozen of the AH-64Es. The Bangladesh economy is doing phenomenally well under the Sheik Hasina Govt. Many Indian businesses are investing there. My company is s...

Raveen, I do see the distinction. You stated "Russian peddler of half truths and full lies." Like it or not, Philip's main point of assertion all along was that we can get access to high tech wares that the Indian defense industry is incapable of making or producing at a short moment of no...

Supratik, now you are veering into political discussion territory.

hgupta

Agreed. But, what can be done to reduce the cost of production and transportation to compensate for higher energy cost? I don't know the answer but here is my guess list: 1) Reduce transportation time: Faster, safer roads will reduce the time goods are on the road. It will also reduce the amount of...

Uttam, GOI won't be able to do away with fuel/diesal taxes. It is one of their biggest revenue streams and until the GOI are able to collect income taxes from 80% of the population, the fuel/diesel is a indirect way (not perfect but still) of collecting the actual income tax from the 80% that don't ...

Sorry I don’t trust the MAX design. It is inherently unstable due to a flawed design. I would not fly in a MAX plane or allow my family to fly those kind of planes. Nope.

hgupta

Good this makes it much easier to ban MAX planes from ever flying in or over India.

Deans, decades of sanctions and embargoes and the disappearing cheap Soviet military suppliers have meant that Iranian military forces’ equipment have become obsolete or inadequate. They can’t even have real military training or they will lose spares they need for an actual war. Their only military ...

WRT to Iranian options of retaliation, it is pretty much limited. If you want to be chanakyian in nature, the best thing is to wait patiently for the right time to strike. In the meantime, I would unilaterally withdraw from any nuclear treaty as Iran has already done and declare that Iran will pursu...

We need to invest more in our strategic relationship with France and make sure we have them firmly on our side in future battles that will be waged against us at the UN. They are only doing this for money since they know that India will keep buying more of her products. Their only interest is money...

Don’t forget how Serena Williams was let off the hook while Sharapov was not let off the hook even though it was well documented that she was taking the same medication for the last fifteen years due to a heart condition which pretty much similar to Serena’s circumstances.

I think that this will be a slow death knell of the WADA. No country likes any kind of international organization interfering within the internal workings or affairs of said country. Russia will now probably begin a course of undermining WADA as retaliation.

So based on the artillery gun acquisitions, what is the comparative firepower ranking of an Indian brigade to, let's say, an American brigade or British brigade or Chinese brigade or even an Israeli brigade?

hgupta

I think there is a clear movement of the Indian American community from being staunch Dem voters towards the Republican side. This is probably because the IA community has become richer and the R party is more favorable. The D's also have a pro Pak leaning. The Peacefools are all completely Dem vot...

Aww hell no. We should only sell the government stake to Indian companies. We lost local control of the aviation market. We cannot afford to lose local control of such a strategic & national asset.

The flaw in the reporting is the sequence. It was **NOT*** "Trump withdraws; Turkey invades. It was "Trump gets US troops out of the way just in time as Turkey invades". Trump merely pulled his men out of a no-win situation, and used standoff blunt threats to stop the Turks. The Deep...

The 4th man is a loader, don't see how that reduces workload of the other 3 or when it's an autoloader doing the job of the fourth man. I would rather CVRDE propose a tank with a completely unmanned turret and a 3 man crew. IMHO even a 2 man crew with duplicated controls is doable but other factors...

hgupta

I never understood the need for a three man crew. There’s too much workload under combat conditions and maintenance to effectively function as a three man crew. A four man crew is considered ideal in most situations combat and non-combat.

I think DRDO had come up with a Arjun turret on a T 72 chassis Sadly "Tank-Ex" was rejected by IA. :cry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_EX . It looked good on paper, perhaps the chassis could not bear the overall load. The chassis shook when the gun fired. After a couple shots, all si...

The author is speaking from a russian point of view. However, from an outsider's point of view, Russia is no EU or US.
