Re: West Asia News and Discussions
Baikul, Thanks for keeping track of the Syria story. Do we now know who controls which portion of Syria? My opinion, Assad's Syria was a paper lion backed by Russia and Iran.

IAF is the unwilling horse that doesn't want the Tejas. The 40 were ordered as a token qty as country had spent lot of money and effort to develop it. Then came Mk1A orders.

Many retired jingo generals and experts are unhappy that Kazan meeting happened.
BTW news reports say 90% disengagement already happened.
Oct 29th is the milestone date.
Again 20 October was 62nd anniversary of the 1962 Chinese aggression.
No one remembered it.
