Re: Possible Indian Military Scenarios - XII
Shankar, QUOTE Two of the F-16 died quickly and easy as they flew into the kill envelope of R-27 fired in pairs, simply there was no escape zone . Two orange flowers bloomed almost simultaneously against blue sky background. The other two escaped the first salve and fired their own sparrow as the di...

Re: Military Humor and related
General (later Field Marshal) KM Cariappa, while talking in Hindi had a tendency to translate English words too literally. He was visiting 50 Para Brigade at Naushera, whose Commander, Brigadier Usman was to be given an opportunity to recapture Jhangar. Addressing the troops, the General wanted to r...

Re: Possible Indian Military Scenarios - XII
".....The 40 mm Gatling gun started its macabre statco burst..." Shankar, Just a minor technicality, Bofors 40L60 is too heavy to use a Gatling type rotating multi barrel mechanism. The gun is a single barrel piece with a magazine on top. USAF AC 130 also mounts two M61 Vulcan 20 mm guns o...

Re: Possible Indian Military Scenarios - XII
For the Chinese it meant holding off the units of the Indian XV Corps trying to take these passes and instead moving ground troops and vehicles northwards to ultimately capture the entire tract all the way up to Chushul. Vivek, Shouldn't it be XIV corps based at Leh? XV corps is based in Srinagar an...

Re: Newbie Corner & Military Miscellaneous
I'm glad the Fin Ministry finally stepped in and put an end to the EXTORTION racket that is the gorshkov deal. If the extortion is going on now, you can only imagine what kind of extortion awaits when spare parts are needed or if war breaks out. Ask for a refund now and cut it loose. Put the money ...

I would humbly like to point out to the critics of Shankar and Vivek (although he is presently silent, preparing his book) that what they are creating is a scenario and not a wargame. Their scenario is that if we have the right doctrine, strategy, material and training, we can overcome a bigger adve...

Igorr,
According to www.israeli-weapons.com, Indian airforce phalcons have conformal fugelage mounted radar arrays and not rotodome types. Are your photos of actual IAF Phalcons or classic Mainstays?

Sudhanshu, Kilo at 7 Kt and Akula at 15 kt- Detection probability in my opinion is even money. Also, the Akula was tracking the Kilos before it was detected. The idea probably is to spook the Kilos into attacking you rather than the career. Since Akula has a greater speed and diving depth, the chanc...

Well, Shankar did complete the earlier ones. Before he quit, he did inform us that he had some visits comming up and some other commitments. Then at the same time, Vivek's scenario came on the scene. Backgrounds are essential otherwise how do you know where you are headed. See any book by Tom Clancy...

Shankar, To my knowledge, a parachute is essential for aerial torpedo drops not only to protect the fusing and sensor mechanisms but also to ensure that the homing head is kept pointed downwards to detect the target noise. In case of surface or submarine launch this is not essential since the torp c...

Shankar's post on 2nd Nov.
Hi Shankar, this is Dhruvarka, a new member. I am reporting a typo / tech error on your post. Mk48 ADCAP is launched from SSN/SSBN only and not from Helicopters. You probably meant Mk 46 or Mk50 ALWT. Correct me if I am wrong.
