I feel maybe the Government is not doing enough to send a strong message to horny-guys-wannabe-spies. I feel that just like in the case of terrorists in J&K, the houses of spies should also be bulldozed.

In recent times a favourite dialogue of our establishment vis-a-vis Pakistan has been "Ghar mein ghuskar maarenge". With this latest attack Pakistan has once again proven that they can "Jab ji chahe ghuskar maarenge". And it seems like nothing from our side can stop them. Mind yo...

Thank God for nil fatalities.

Looks like the Navy Mig-29s are settling into a 'crash-per-year' pattern. They really have to cut down the flight hours of these Migs till the hornets/rafales come in.

I wonder whether we should've stuck with the original engine instead of this Rd-33k.

One of the YouTube videos i saw on Astra mk-2 says that firing any missile at ranges of 160kms has lower kill probability but atleast it'll force the enemy to go cold.

It's not only in the naming, ADA / HAL is also doing themselves a great disservice by sending only the AF single seater to airshows.
