OK. Here is a chance for history role playing buff. USI has an essay competition on 2. The essay for 2018must be on the following topic: • India’s Wars Since Independence: Would we have performed better if we had a Chief of Defence Staff (CDS)? There has been a demand for a CDS for some time but no...

Nice process flow. I believe a former RECW and IITM graduate was instrumental in this Carbon Fiber mfg process.

chola Thanks. sarang was browsing on my tablet. Sorry

The sum total I got from many videos is that MoD is serious and they are following the path nam also hit on.

SAFRAN is providing the know how.or at-least stiffening the GTRE spine.

ABV ensured India moves from the path of developing country to developed country by his strong initiatives on nuclear security, economic reforms, transportation networks.
His political moderate liberalism ensured commitment to democracy.

This is a bogus report which does not understand the driving factors of Al Qaida nor ISIS. Both are Arab based terrorist organizations. ISIS wants to establish Caliphate. The center for such Caliphate is West Asia not India. Having said that Islamic terrorism on India is Pakistani Army enterprise. S...

I think one quick project should be to put the Akash-1S IIR sensor on an shortened Astra motor and make a CCM/WVR missile.

This is doable and retains the skills for the DRDL labs and creates a usable weapon for the IAF and IN.

My comments on the Saran/Jaishankar speeches. - NSG was not formed in 1967. NSG is renamed London Suppliers Group created by UK after India's 1974 PNE. So fundamental facts are wrong.

I would make #25 appreciation as #1 as it reinforces culture and the Idea of Bharat. Also would like you to put a two line description of those 25 initiatives to help the discussion.

Problem is, one increasingly isolated leader (Trump) has trapped another one (Erdogan). If Erdogan feels trapped, he will choose to fight. If he chooses to fight, we may see another front opened in the middle east. If his grip on Turkey wasn't this strong, it wouldn't be a matter of worry. If Trump...

A very good road-map template for Helicopter Engines that Russian CIAM has developed.

Austin, Nice technology road-map by a developer.

HAL should have their own version of such a road-map tailored to Indian needs.

How does pulp and paper mill tie in with helicopter engines unless they want to use the rotor ideas for the turbine design.

ramadas, I think we (BRF) have not really thought through how the different legs of the triad support and reinforce each other. Having a dispersed highly accurate land based missile force protects the sea based deterrent which is vulnerable due to limited number of fixed bases and vessels. The airbo...
