1) California, Texas, and New York
2) Rest of US
3) Top 5%
4) Rest 95%

3) & 4) are in 1) & 2)

This explains the tax cuts and cash back proposals for 2).

Indranil and nam et al, think in Indian terms. What is feasible: India has Dhanush 45 cal, Sarang M-46 upgrade with 45 cal and ATAGS 52 cal, K-9 with 52 Cal, and M-777 with 39 cal. All fire the M-107 and the ERFA BB/BT shells. Looking at the user trials looks like ERFA BB/BT shells are the preferred...

Abhik, He is talking of tail rocket motors in the shell to give extra range.

I don't like the idea of longer barrels as they need extra maintenance, care to avoid balloting.
Better idea is the tail motor to give extra range.

UB they want to sell a watered down THAAD eventually. Sort of Patriot and THAAD lite.

Since US is withdrawing from INF treaty signalling a new nuclear arms race, India should resume testing. If any one recalls I had proposed testing resumption in case existing arms treaties are voided in my Quo Vadis? Article in BRM Unfortunately it's not linked directly due to web glitches. Will dig...

SP-5 was first plane from that half line. So will have teething troubles.

Trigger for 9/11 is Clinton demanding Pak hand over OBL while visiting them.
This operationalized the long standing plan but aimed at US.
IAF was the only air force flying CAP on that day.

Chandrasekharan Center has acted in the background to max allowed by the Constitution. Kerala govt was informed of the security issues. The governor is fully monitoring. Note the difference in Police behavior. Lathi charge vs withdraw. All this is not from situational wisdom but unstated long hand. ...

Good luck for her efforts.
#Sabarimala is not an issue only for Kerala Hindus but all Indians as when a religious place gets desecrated with State power no religion will be safe in any place in India.

Even upgraded Mig 27s with new electronics were getting 11m with dumb bombs.
So laser guided 10 m CEP is not an achievement.

Wonder how guided Pinaka was achieved with controlled canards.
Same idea should work.

Tell me how will that work! The body rotates due to aerodynamic forces acting laterally. They fins have to be sized need to counter the rotation. Making the laser guided 1000MC bomb, which is the cheapest and most abundant in IAF inventory, waas the right decision. But execution was not good. We kno...

Now that Indian Army is seriously considering reform are there any plans to reform the MoD? i would like to start with an org chart of the MoD and its various branches. Maybe from wiki for a start.

I was thinking about the July 2008 Kabul bombing of Indian Embassy. It was a precursor to the later 26 November 2008 attack in Mumbai. The Kabul Embassy bombing did not evoke a response from shell shocked GOI under MMS. This encouraged Pak to launch a more provocative attack in Mumbai, which also di...

While he might be setup he did give lot of content for NYT and WaPo to bring him down.
Very flaky politician. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Hart

To his credit he did foresee the airplanes being used by terrorists and gave ample warnings of that before 911 attacks.
As usual they were ignored.

mody, Sudarshan program was terminated as it was a dud. If you recall the drop videos the test article used to drop tail first and roll. All that would use up energy and not have enough left over to hit the target. The CCIP method of release would give same level of accuracy (CEP ~ 11m) as the dud. ...
