Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 23 March 2021
I am batting for a squadron of TU160. I will start from the top by asking a ?. Does India possess even a 'just-enough' aggressiveness to ward of current & potential threats and be threat-free? Answer will be definite & big 'No'. It is not that India has one friendly neighbor. Every single co...

Re: The case for an unmanned twin engined flying wing
Yes, I know that we have a 'design your own UAV' thread. This is not that. :wink: TL;DR version :- We need more tankers, by yesterday. We also need more ELINT/SIGINT and strike aircraft, preferably stealthy, but we will come to that discussion. An unmanned, twin-engined, flying-wing, stealthy aircr...

Re: Su-30MKI: News and Discussion - 24 July 2021
^^^ Each airframe will likely be out for at least a year under the deep Super MLU modernization. It means the IAF can only allocate so many airframes for MLU at a time in order to keep their operational readiness with sanctioned 13 MKI squadrons. This is why the IAF /HAL will take 15 years to upgra...

Re: Russian Weapons & Military Technology

At this very moment, Su-57 is flying but AMCA is not and first flight will not happen within next 7-8 years at least. G...

Why should there be a heroine and romance in otherwise action movie ?.. Looks like no matter how good is the story, screen play, and the Hero and other actors, direction ,editing and other sophistication, Desi movies very badly need a Heroine to do the ticket sale.
