Ray, Please congratulate the IA publicity divison or cell(if IA has one on my behalf.) They have done a stunning job. The internet and media houses have been swamped by articles and pictures on Vijay Diwas. The Indian army website has documented the celebrations in a manner that is particularly fitt...

Because it was a reply from the Raksha Mantri to an M.P's question in Rajya Sabha. Most of the responses from R.M make it to the PIB usually.

Anabhaya

But what of the cause of justice? The 180+ that died be damned and we won't move to bring the ******** to book?

Extradition is a must.

Anabhaya

It is not so hard to subvert a 'legal process'. The US continues to run the Guantanamo bay imprisonment centre. India need not buy that snakeoil. Where there is political will there will be a way.

Should the PMO make this an agenda an extradition is possible.

Anabhaya

Getting Headley and Rana extradited to India would be a major test of NIA's effectiveness. Chidambaram says India would press for extradition and that both of them have been booked under Unlawful Activites (Prevention) Act. This is a good chance for Massa/Canada to demonstrate their crediblity in th...

There will be retaliation, apparently

It's not like we have not heard that before 26/11.

Another attack and shall retaliate.

Chidu was addressing a TN Congress meeting in connection with Indira's death anniversary. No wonder he was high on rhetoric.

Anabhaya

For all their tech-saviness all the three forces have an embarassing official presence on the internet.

Excellent synopsis Stan.

The Maoists not being armed anymore (Weapons locked away in UN monitored centres!) have now only Gandhigiri to resort to:
Maoists announce blockade of Kathmandu valley, international airport

Defanged, and brought into the political process.

AFAIK They're onlee taking off one of the two boosters.

Rajapakse enjoy immense public support - a coup against him will be very unpopular. Gen.Fonseka will probably contests elections early next year. There was another General turned politician in SL - Maj.Gen Janaka Perera. Perera was a failure in politics. Fonseka will suffer the same fate because of ...

Possible coup d'état attempt by Fonseka pre-empted by Rajapakse.

Such fears have arisen due to prevailing...

Please refer to PIB official release a couple of pages ago.. the tests were conducted by SFC..

Ah yes. I looked up the PTI releases and missed the PIB one. Makes sense then.

Anabhaya

I'm surprised SFC continues to get more Prithvis. Was it not found to be too destabilizing requiring the development of Agni-I-SR? Any direct referances/quotes to indicate these two missiles were tested by the SFC and not 'by a special contingent raised by the army' as the PTI reports indicate? Coul...

Exporting the Tejas is still a long way off. HAL is yet to finish the LSP production run, and there isn't one Tejas in the air with a radar on it. It appears all work on the project remains stalled. HAL and ADA can fly the Tejas on GOBAR engines for all we care - get that damn thing in squadron serv...

Emerging trends in Sri Lanka - An Indian perspective It would perhaps be out of place for me to suggest courses of action to the Tamil leadership, but they could usefully consider some of the following measures: a. Openly and clearly disown the militancy of LTTE and seek a peaceful resolution withi...

Ah, nice. So if the eelamists start killing SLA soldiers, then I guess you wouldn't condone it, coz they deserved it, correct? I wouldn't know about SLA soldiers but they definitely did kill IPKF men in a much more gruesome manner. The best response would be stoic silence - to celebrate would be de...

According to WOP the scientists knew soon after they looked at crater for S-1. Go and read that. RC said some stuff about shaft was oversized etc.

It did occur to me.

My request is in. Look for Amar Govindarajan.

I doubt Shakti team kept the news of failure from the PM. The decision to keep quiet about the failure and act normal must have been collective . I doubt there was much point being honest about the test outcome - there was no way we were going to be able to continue testing in 1998. Perhaps now we c...

The videa appears to be execution of surrendered/captured tigers - interesting to see a vehicle pass the area @ 15 secs. They must have had dozens of such executions - some 200 rebels are rumoured to have been executed when SLA boxed in a large rebel concentration between PTK and Mullaitivu. Nothing...

A nuclear test just before New Delhi was to announce a multi-billion dollar nuclear plant park contract and MRCA to US. That'll help us tide over the difficult first year. It's Japan and Australia that will make a lot of noise. Only Japan will hurt us. A series of tests with full involvement of fauj...

What would happen if we buy MiG-35? Almost our entire fighter fleet will be dependent on Russia. We will field 230 Su-30 and another 70 MiG-29's into the next decade. If you add another 200 Russian aircrafts then it will be end up at nearly 70% of fleet being Russian.

Need to diversify.

Arun's Agni configurations show Agni-3-SL can delivery 8-12 petals. I wonder if 8x 15kt warheads cause less damage to a megacity than 3x 200kt warheads?

3000 bombs is quite a stretch. China is nowhere near deploying an arsenal of anything more than 300-400 weapons - forget anything beyond 1000! Our concerns are that since we have a no first use policy a good portion of our arsenal will be taken out by the adversary - effectively doubling the number ...

We must remember that the first idea was to buy 125+ Mirage-2000 jets and be done with it. But knowing the French are going to charge you the sky and earth for it, and given that Rafale maybe a better choice the only way to make the French charge less for Rafale is to announce a MMRCA competition.

IAF would operate 230 Su-30MKI planes - this effectively translates into 1/4th of the IAF fighter fleet. Anymore Russian planes increases dependence.
