How do we know the generals have said so -- because Shukla writes so -- So given that this entire debate is only because Shukla said so -- you bet he has everything to do with it.

No they do not say this Shukla says this. Do you really think that IA will approach the MoD with undefined criteira?

The significant points for me are: 1> they say they will not accept the Arjun unless it improves considerably. What benchmarks it must meet remain undefined. 2>15 Arjuns have already run 75,000 kilometers, and fired 10,000 rounds in the most extensive trials ever --- 3> Army soldiers from 43 Armoure...

Absolutely!! The question is maintainability w.r.t. what specs? If its no specs then its high maintenance or low; if w.r.t. to spec then its either on mark or poor or better.

I dont get you; the issue here is not whether the tank can run for a minute or not; even the army does not say that. While we speculate what they actually meant; I see no coorelation between a overall great tank having few reliability issues in the first test of the sort. To quote Shukla: The ongoi...

Raymond -- you do realize that AUCRT and the one-on-one trials that you are talking of have nothing to do with each other?

If the shells cannot be firing from T-90 or T-72, so what tank they were made for? I wonder. And if the shells could be fired from only T-72, why the army scrapped them? Is it stupid?

Regarding the air war part:just my two cents. The war with China can be of two scenarios.From our viewpoint , defensive (China attacks AP) and offensive(Tibetan war of independence).IMHO while we are very capable of the defensive scenario but we are way behind in required capability in case of the o...

its a strange scale if the units are varying from start to end (eg. 800 m to 25 miles) but could be possible..what it does show is that the pulse doppler Ericsson PS-05 radar seems to be able to detect targets out to 60-75 miles (see the target outside the map) but track multiple targets for about ...

i don't understand how the scale in the center image works, the scale range is from 25 to 600, what the hell does that mean? surely, the Gripen's radar isn't giving it tracks that far off (that too in miles)!

Excellent.Thanks for posting.Only one thing.Cant see the wingman.Or maybe they are too close to warrant another marker. Hmm..its in BVR mode.Also the scale in the central MFD is possibly in miles.If it is a realistic depiction,I guess you could get an idea about the engagement range with the Amraam....
