Probably the QBZ-95. Standard issue for the PLA Infantry.

Another thing of note though is that the Los Alamos is in New Mexico so the UNM thing might be to go there eventually. Anyway, how are you so sure that it was the US that approached him and not the Indian armed forces? He doesn't indicate it anywhere, and the army hat in the video is the Indian Army...

I had a few questions about nicknames of some of the infantry regiments. I know a couple of nicknames 8 GR => Shiny Eights 5 GR => Frontier Force Rajputana Rifles => Raj Rif Can someone tell me if there are more nicks for the IA regiments?

can someone scan the India Today article and upload it on imageshack or something?

R Sharma

No. What the report says is that no Prithvis will be used with the GreenPine. And the Minister is correct. Why would you want a SSM with a ABM radar to be used as a SAM. He doesnt say Prithvi tech wont be used. Aha I see the point now. He does not mention a modified Prithvi in the statement. Thanks.

R Sharma

So in other words, the Prithvi could have been integrated with another "indigenous" version of the Greenpine just not called the Greenpine? I guess my question is, has the DRDO developed an equivalent of the Greenpine that was tested with this test?

To Abhishek's point, last year I was discussing the unique geopolitical situation that India is in with a Brigadier (now Maj General) of the Indian Army. He pretty much reiterated the same points that Abhishek made about India's position. India is currently being wooed by all sides, Russians want In...

Edit: Remember even when we did the pokhran2, we violated no treaty. Hmm.... Lets see... the NPT and CTBT!! We are one of only 4 (then 3) nations that had not signed it but that does not mean that we did not violate those treaties in the eyes of the world. And there is a slight difference between t...

Ramana,
What about the S-300?
FMCO/T?? What is that?

R Sharma

The one thing though is that China can purchase ABM technology from Russia. Thinking about it, if there is this Sino-Russia alliance that is brewing, wouldn't it be in Russia's interest to give China the S-300 technology? This in turn can then be given to Pakistan at their request in a "joint ...

Okay, I believe this missile was Indian. But how much help was taken from other countries? I can believe that the Trishul/Akash components must have helped a little bit when it came to developing the second stage of this new missile X.

Just a general question from a mere mortal: Why are we discussing this topic on two threads??? gets a little confusing....

R Sharma

You started to think, "I think that there should be some changes to the DRDO" so media achieved what they want.(I am not criticizing; I am just telling the fact) You are half right and half wrong. I do believe that the DRDO needs a restructuring, but it wasn't entirely based on the media....

R Sharma

Shiv Aroor and Amitav Ranjan are two chaps who sounded goofy - DRDO dint even bother to refute or confirm the drivel that was fed to these worthies. Reason being DRDO never was intended to market their output by wining and dining these journalistic bottom feeders. And as gurus here have pointed out...

Anybody who is remotely interested in Indian defence related issues is already on BR. Or is already on the way to BR. So quit worrying about IE, TOI et all. Well its not about everyone who is on BR.

R Sharma

Why does the media have to criticize the DRDO for everything? Sure there have been some issues, but a DRDO made missile successfully intercepted an "incoming" BM. If this isn't a step towards indigenous ABM capability, I don't know what else is. I think that there should be some changes to...

R Sharma

Hats off to DRDO for developing ABM capability. If this is a true ABM, then I think we should have also developed an active seeker head. If that is true, it would be an amazing development and would help us in the development of the Astra AA missile. Nice work. Also, I don't know if this is a Prihvi...

Hmmm.... I was thinking about a scenario that does not involve Pakistan or China (atleast not directly). Involves a UN operation headed by India in the Persian Gulf circa 2019.
