Thank you very much

KGoan, Saar please send me the mail too. karthik [dot] k [at] extremix [dot] net. There seems to be considerable evidence that Iran if left alone will come out of theocracy. But what of the Revolutionary Guards. How can the world be sure that there will be no anti-zionist nutcases amongst those task...

AbhijitST & Sunil S, Rogue behaviour need not be proliferation alone. What about an Iranian JDAM in Tel Aviv ? Iran with nukes will exactly be an copy of Pakistan wrt to its behaviour towards India. We have strategic compulsions behind our relations with Iran, but that need not translate into su...

The presence of anti-US individuals in the top echelons of the conservative Iranian leadership lends great stability and consistency to Iranian foreign policy. These people act as a vital counter balance to Pakistan in the world and given the unpredictable nature of US-Pakistan and US-Saudia relati...

Rustom,
Couldn't you just upload it using FTP ? I can provide the necessary disk/bandwidth. Jagan could then download it thro FTP/HTTP. If you guys agree I will mail Rustom with the necessary info.

I can provide a decent amount of bandwidth if needed. Feel free to ask.

Originally posted by wyu: The military situation is almost identicle to that of the 62 Sino-Indo War when the PLA left, they were in no position to challenge the InA relief force. The point here is that for a political victory to work, the victim must be willing to play the part of the victim. [OT ...

Sridhar, The article by Wg. Cdr. Parasnis even otherwise is mostly junk. There is a lot of bile against Nehru in that article and he might well have deserved some of it, but there is nothing in that article which adds to our understanding of the India-China relationship of either the past or the pre...

Harsh, When you say, Indeed, recent books, using much the same source material, plus referring to legal and historical material regarding Tibetan claims to independance, Indian claims Aksai Chin - and the baselessness of China's claims to both - have done much to refute his hypothesis. which books a...

Does this mean curtains for the Karna ?

Mike, IMHO, it is not that your thread has not generated any interest. It is just that the questions you ask seem to be too precise to evoke any answers with the current public domain information available. For example, I searched for Al-Zarrar on google, only to find no (to my recollection) informa...

Raj: This is in case you decide to make this post into a full fledged article. Here are some links I dredged up on the origins of an assault rifle. The Assault Rifle: Fact and Fantasy Far more modern in concept and still an effacious weapon today if an ammunition supply can be secured, the MP.43/44 ...

Great work. IIRC, an article, whose link was posted here on BRF, talked about a German rifle Sturm Gehwr (or something) actually being the first assault rifle in the world. You could check this out just for factual accuracy. Also do you have any info on the much heard about Schmeissers ?

If there were indeed two tests, would GoI have let the 2nd missile be photographed in flight ? Testing a missile on the sly and letting out the pics to the media doesn't make sense to me. Kindly enlighten.

My salutes to the great man. I faintly remember reading how the rank of a Field Marshal was awarded trivially in Nazi Germany, thus diminishing its stature. The incident about von Paulus just serves to reinforce that opinion. In WWI, even Luddendorf did not make it to the rank of a field marshal. In...
