Re: Indian Army - Revolution in Military Affairs
IE article: The Army’s elite contingent is haemorrhaging as the best and the brightest choose corporate over combat. "..none of the men who have quit in the recent past fits the stereotype of the superseded no-hoper who leaves the Army for a comfortable corporate. Rather, they were at the peak ...

Re: Indian Army - Revolution in Military Affairs
Interesting article by Raja Menon. I've tried to ask the same question in other threads. Key points: 1. "Dawood Ibrahim, along with Tiger Memon, Hafez Sayed, Sayed Salauddin and Azhar Masood have waged war on India for periods varying from six to ten years. Cross border terrorism is thirteen ye...

Re: Indian Army - Revolution in Military Affairs
Very basic and perhaps naive questions: Does RMA assume a highly (high-school/college-level?) educated soldier different from those hired in IA 'recruiting fairs'? What does this mean for the officer level qualifications How will attract such people who will obviosuly be drawn to a safer easier job ...

Re: MiG-21 News & Discussion
This probably should be cross-posted in the psy-ops and AJT threads too:
India jet deals faced sabotage
"India's decision to award a huge jet contract to the UK comes just days after news emerged of British and US efforts to sabotage Indian defence deals in the Cold War."

"And until KSA is knocked out, and Iran is co-opted or neutralized, Bush can't afford to really clean out TSP."
Would it therefore not make sense for GoI to send troops ASAP to Iraq to help Bush so he can get on withe job of KO'ing KSA and draining the Terrorist Swamp of Pakistan?

Re: Pakistani Nuclear Thresholds
Johann: I wasn't suggesting Gul had anything to with the Taliban creation. You may recall that all through the Clinton years (until the Kenya/Tanzania blasts), US intelligence maintained links to the Taliban through the ISI.

Re: Pakistani Nuclear Thresholds
IIRC, Hamid Gul was in the US a couple of years ago on the lecture circuit--long after he came to be 'considered dangerous'. So, I don't think it's a question of 'picking him up in Pakistan' that will trigger a redline. He probably still has a lot of friends in the CIA who remember his selfless cont...

Apache Down in Iraq
This Apache was apparently brought down by a RPG round. Kinda' makes you wonder whether this birds are all they're talked up to be.
