Re: Afghanistan News & Discussion - April 2016

Not just born but is a part of the ecosystem which ruled/rules India. Looks like hating India, harboring hinduphobia and bowing to China/Pakis is a must for anyone aspiring to do their IFS/IAS. Sends a shiver down my spine when i think people like Bhadrakumar, MS Aiyar, Hamid Ansari etc. held such ...

Slightly OT, but I don't like the way they're hyping up Rafale arrival, as if half a dozen Rafales will destroy the entire PAF and PLAAF overnight... Forget fighting in a war, tomorrow even if some small technical glitch comes in the jet, the opposition & media will magnify it beyond proportion...

Then it would be good, if we stop considering Rafale to participate in current conflicts with China. And focus mainly on availabilty of current fleet in air.

No money, no honey. On a combat capability level, the airframe, sensors may be behind those on the Rafale in some ways, but the true USP of the F-16 is the amount of weapons, and mission kits it comes with. From AAMs, to LGBs, to SDBs to ARMs, to AShMs.. IMHO that's what makes it really potent. I t...
