The private sector has been given more than a chance, but in traditional Indian business style, they roll around money into their other civilian side businesses and was sometimes unable to raise capital for quick turnarounds for sub-contracts. Result is navy getting jittery and encasing bank guarant...

Some thoughts: A lot of folks here are still considering the AEWC as an airborne radar picket! That would be called just AEW. AEW’s mission of long range search and low level scan can be cost effectively split between massively powerful ground based TH kind of radars and aerostat mounted radars for ...

Interestingly he mentions that we should be thankful to the Americans as they disabled the Paki 16’s from the capability of caring Nukes !

Muppalla, Wayanad is considered a safe seat of Congress.

Hehe, babaji also claimed that 6 Jaguars were part of the CAP. If IAF is sending Jaguars for CAP missions, our bad days have truly come. :lol: Babaji should be careful to not show his ignorance on defense matters.

ok, we are going off-topic: Atleast the little point i am making is that WE dont have the kind of overwhelming superiority that a economy which is atleast 8 to 10 times larger should have. This "overwhelming superiority" is an american term coined after Vietnam war to mean "we shall a...

So by 2020, a first-rate space power with a second-strike sea based nuclear deterrent patrol, a mid-course intercept capability and having a powerful military that willingly take on two nuclear armed neighbors in combat is still not a “recognized nuclear power” and is “a concern for proliferation” W...

There appear to be some unintended consequences about banning Paki players. Remember those two paki shooters who got visas (many asked why) and who did not finally get the visas? Now it looks like the IOC seems to have taken a very dim view of it. It looks like India may be denied future hosting of...

I had mentioned this before, but I think tube artillery was given a short shrift for two decades because PGMs and rocket artillery caught the fancy of MoD folks.
