^^* Can you please put your numbers in a summarized tabular format? Makes it visually easier to see your estimates and make comparisons. There is a lot of analysis on how the figures were derived, In summary: Irreplaceable losses = KIA, Seriously wounded and Prisoner. Ukraine: 450,000 (145,000 dead...

If armchair warriors like us can analyse and learn from the incidents over the years then what makes us think that the forces, who have to literally put their lives on the line, are stupid enough not to do so? :roll: Added- on reflection I understand that the poster has put his remarks out of a sen...

A point about lack of armored vehicles for our troops: We will lose the insurgency the day we travel only in armored vehicles and do not walk around to interact with the locals. We will give the impression that we are too scared to be around our own people. Not armored vehicles, but will it to be t...

Losses incurred both sides 24.02.2022 - 31.12.2023 I've analysed losses of both sides in my blog. After writing these posts, subsequent numbers from western sources, or 3rd parties (for Russian losses) appear to confirm my estimates.

Can't help but admire the strategic brilliance of the Pakistani Establishment. With a few M4s and steel core bullets they can bring the Indian armed forces to its knees at a time and place of their choosing . See the sheer magic - every time such an attack happens... for every indian soldier that i...

This so called Houthi/Iran Drone attacks are suspiciously attacking only Ships either going or coming from India, is there a Chinese/ Pakistani angle to this? The thought had crossed my mind.

Any of the ME (Qatar/QA, Etihad/UAE-Abu Dhabi, Emirates/UAE-Dubai) will be interested in the routes. Since that will provide them a route into CAR and Tibet.

Even in the official statement of those arrested, none claimed it was about unemployment. Though facts will not come in the way of the arguments made by the usual suspects.

This is a huge security lapse. I hope we don't try to play politics, but get our act together on security and get to the bottom of this.
At the least, members of Parliament are owed a detailed explanation about what happened.

Ji, many miss the elephant in the room. If the West Bank is truly palestine, then why did the Jordanians who controlled this domain between 1948 to 1967 not had it over to the palestinian authorities? Why no such demand for those years? NOBODY wishes to ask or answer this question. The Palestinians...

I'm expecting trouble from CCP/PLA on the Himalayan borders. Last time 370 was repealed, they started mobilising and Galwan happened few months later.

I have looked at seat wise data from LS 2019 (with 2014 data to validate some assumptions), to understand what BJP might realistically expect.

What the FBI has is Nikhil Gupta who tried to contract out a murder to a FBI informant/undercover person, what he told that person (kill Pannun, Nijjar is also a target), and what he told them post-arrest. Now, if I was arrested for something, I could always say "Joe Biden told me to do it, wh...

I wrote this on the Pannu case in another forum: decided to share my thoughts after seeing a lot of flagellation among readers of the various posts suggesting that we were `caught' trying to assassinate a US citizen.

In 2020, we had a fake encounter in Rajouri (Amshipora case). The court martial found the encounter was fake and a captain was guilty.

We abstained - was it right? Should we complain if others then abstain in regards to terrorism against us?

From SM and live conversations I had, I don’t think Hamas / Palestinian goal is 2-state solution. They & their supporters are unanimous and adamant in going back to the 1948 rejectionist position, demanding that the whole of undivided Palestine (from the river to the sea) should be theirs, sinc...

Escalation at a global scale. IMO, Bharat should engage in this. A seat at the table will never come without taking huge risks. This risk, IMO, is worth taking.

The only country I support in this conflict is mine. In that regard, I think a longer war (with Israel on top at the end) works best for us. Before this conflict, a separate Palestinian state was dead. There was an emerging alliance of US+Israel+Saudi+Minor Gulf states all taking on Iran. India woul...

Hamas's objective in starting this, was to bring Palestinian statehood to the forefront - it has bene put on the backburner, as the various Arab regimes were in the process of normalizing ties with Israel. Hamas could only hope to this by incurring as many civilian casualties as possible. In that re...
