brar_w, what is with the new massive airbrake kind of backward-flipping cover of the lift-fans for the production F35Bs

Wouldnt the old accordion type sideways folding cover of X-35 be better for short takeoffs, from a drag perspective?

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...

There was a time when up to 20 Emb145 in various roles were being considered. It is a perfect sized aircraft for aew&c, [b]mpa , gmti radar carrier[/b]. The Gulfstream aircrafts come pretty close too. Yeah, it does fit perfectly in the MPA-medium space between P8I and Dorniers! IIRC, there were...

Really? The more the booths assaulted by local PFI-SIMI (or even Naxal) cells in diverse locations, and the more the "retaliations" carried out by local paid-goonda militias in response, the harder the maintenance of law and order will be. We've seen what happens in WB and Kerala even in ...

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.

What I would really like to see is a dozen or so black ops 'liquidation units' roaming around in TSP.

Long overdue in starting an Uighyur Liberation Front office or two at Delhi. Paki's friends like Turkey can readily agree to that action

Paki trade with india seem routed via mostly Jebel Ali. So things can be relabeled without much fuss for pakis. It always has a Nimitz parked around. So we got to see how that gets played out

MRAPs are very expensive and cannot be used like a state transport bus service daily, which meant the pakis have made it that much more costly for India. Plus the VBIEDs can be upscaled easily after spending so much on 1000s of MRAPs, so a huger VBIED blast can be made that can rip apart an MBT Shor...

khan does that insolence in another way at Bremerton too, with this lazy "take your time" decommissioning/dismantling of older boats that are at least a generation ahead of the rest. Kind of loves rubbing it in, khan does to friend and foe alike. Hence the H&D salvage claims of Tempest...

the sleek design should lend itself nicely to a full fledged SSN, should they want to go down that way. Indeed!

This is an opening shot in a grand game, which is pretty much targeted at Russia and China. Hence this offer from BAe is interesting, nothing more nothing less.
