MARCOS being there is just a matter of sheer luck they are based just stone throw away from Taj , but lts assume had this tragedy happened in Bangalore or chennai where NSG took 8 hours to reach , the picture would have been different Austin, Bangalore hosts the Parachute Regimental training centre...

I searched Internet and found many sites giving referencr to RAW operations in Srilanks, Maldives, pakisthan, Bangladesh,Sikkim,Bhutan, Nepal. But I could not find a single one having the slightest mention of RAW's operations in China . Are you aware of/heard about any of RAW's operation in China ,...

as a matter of fact the ceramic blocks themselves perform best when they are perpendicular to the projectile. to arrange ceramic blocks perpendicular to incoming projectile direction in triangular prismatic cavities would require oodles of space. Considering that a projectile can be incident on the...

They will receive this ship on aug20, 2010. By that time I guess we should start having the project-28 ones, new built ASW corvettes. Just out of curiosity, why do we compare Pak ASW capabilty with our ASW capabilty? Shouldnt we be comparing the counter system? With respect to this we should be eva...

Well in both cases they are indecisive , They dont have any phobia or any thing , status quo works for them and provides them well. Any ways to the topic , I wonder if Neustrashimy is equipped for and carrying Russian SF with them , they are quite well armed and just too heavily armed for anti-pira...

Moreover, MARCOS are probably not stationed on all IN ships on the high seas (not that many to go around). I thought atleast a 10 member team is present in a destroyer + ships. If not, personnel who rotate out of MARCOs after the max period of service perhaps are distributed around to form VBSS tea...

KiranM

My question is, are VBSS teams even in IN always composed solely of MARCOS coz I remember pics on B-R for the Malabar exercises where some of the members of the VBSS teams (the ones doing the boarding) seemed to be regular fleet sailors (perhaps with some Naval Infantry training?). Well, depends on...

KiranM

Precisely, thats what got me wondering as to how come this doesnt cause serious turf wars/bad blood between the multiple SFs since these guys are usually very territorial when it comes to their jurisdiction... Under SOCOM, they are not technically under Navy or Army direct control. The precise reas...

KiranM

But,its very weird(for me atleast) to see non-DEVGRU SEAL teams with their ranks being chief sonar officer etc being involved in fierce land battles deep in the hinterland far away from the oceans for which they are tasked... SEALs' main mandate might be infiltration/ exfiltration from sea. But the...

They are moderators. Not cleaners. If you know your discussion is out of topic and not contributing anything other than flame-baiting then its your duty to this forum from desisting so as much as this forum gives you the right to post IMVHO.

IIRC it was not ST-6 but Red Cell.

seals also worked with SAS in former yugoslav states to target 'war criminals'. methinks seals and delta get the pick of hardest missions as the 'elite' of the SOCOM. Eagle Claw (raid on iran from CVNs under carter admin) was a delta affair. seals are said to be buffed up killing machines wearing b...

Stealth Destroyer Largely Defenseless, Admiral Says There is something fundamentally wrong with that report in my opinion. It talks about DDG not handling missile threats because of its combat system not being able to guide the SAMs. But aren't the combat system more to do with the software and elc...

Chetak, the radar is seen clearly from all surrounding buildings. It is public. LRDE is right next to a techpark. Dont know how my 'revelation' is in anyway of harm. And what sensitive details did I reveal? I havent even put up the pics. If I am missing something here please tell me.

KiranM

Hi folks, Just out of curiosity why do we have to go into LRSAM/ BARAK 2 when we can use AAD itself? I understand we need different weapon platforms for redundancy and overlap for efficient air defense using different methods (RF, IIR, etc). But cant we do the same using a common missile body but di...

Hi Admins, My office is near LRDE. I have seen a particular radar (cant quite figure out which radar) being tested on an elevated rig a couple of times. I have clicked 2 pics of the radar using my mobile. Will it be haram to upload them here? If not how can I upload them without eating into my bandw...

kiran, both blasko and mulvenon (two of the experts quoted here) are very respected PLA watchers with many ground breaking works to their credit. I, for one won't be so eager to dismiss their assertions. BTW, I'm surprised the PAP and the PLA reserves didn't play a larger part in the rescue effort....

KiranM

KiranM - I don't recall anything armed forces specific re Bhuj reporting, but anyway... note that after the tsunami, Indian armed forces were credited by the media with having the situation under control quickly. Lalmohan, I clearly remember watching BBC when the comment was made by the newsreader ...

KiranM

These same Western analysts made similar comments about India's capabilities for its Bhuj earthquake rescue operations. So let us not view Chinese abilities through their prism but through our own. One convenient fact the Western world forgets is the number of people affected by such calamities in I...

Shiv. Working "in" and evacuation are two different things. There is a difference in concentration of agents in the "working environment." In NBC most evacuations happen after the area has been de-contaminated. Thats the first rule of Casvac. Most BW agents will enter the body t...

KiranM

Well if you look like that we can derive meaning from the drab names given to our weapon systems.

For example, Tejas can refer to the flash of 'enlightenment' received by the enemy when bombs rain down on them.

The whole of last week while at work I have seen the buzz of a chopper looking like Chetak. What is interesting is that it is in blue n white camo. Think, nah I am sure it is that helo UAV being tested in full swing. Interesting times ahead for Indian mil aerospace. Glad I work at aplace where I get...

Today in Deccan Herald editorial page I saw a snippet from 28-Mar-1983 talking about India developing a Laser guided missile. Which missile is this? Was it the Nag whose specs were later changed to IIR / MMW guided?

KiranM

I don't understand Chinese, but it does look very much like the semi-planing monohull LCS design of Lockheed Martin.

Yup, it is the same. Check out the same pic in Wiki link:

Sudanshu, Major patel was behing the trunk of a tree. The radio man was only lying prone. Not exactly not-being-visible to a sniper.

Hi, what is CSM and CMDS? Thanks in advance.

Is the EL/M-2083 radar mounted on the aerostats, an AESA or PESA??

KiranM

Hari, wrt your last post, the Chinese PM asked PLAAF to attack political targets in Delhi. On the other hand, as Mahesh says Pivot Hammer is to target tactical military targets in Tibet. I am not defending Vivek, just putting forth what I think is right. Now am not saying that I may not be wrong. Wi...

KiranM

Ajay, in Vivek's last post, as far as I infer, Pivot Hammer is an air operation. Now planes conquering territory is news to me. :lol: What the DefMin in that post meant was, if PLAAF can attack assets in Arunachal and decimate the defences, so can India in Tibet. Counter-attack is definitely one of ...

KiranM

Hari and Ajay, it is not a binding rule that all operations carried out by the armed forces need prior approval from the PM or other higher ups once war is declared. When a war starts military actions start having their own tempo. It is foolish even to expect such approval as you outlined is require...

Bala IN will surely monitor Malacca straits through which offers the shortest possible sea route to mainland India. And it is almost impossible for a carrier, much less a task force, to sneak through Malacca since it is very narrow. The only other possible route is to circuit around Australia. And a...

KiranM

Well, in the case of PLAN again another choke point for them is the Malacca Straits. FORTAN is very much capable of blocking it using land-based aircrafts. If PLAN does breakthrough Malacca, they still have the Eastern fleet to contend with.

KiranM

I have a question: I have read somewhere that Chinese have the psychology of "fighting at the gate" (not in home). Will not they start an immediate offensive in Kashmir or Uttranchal sector with their already positioned forces there instead of acting defensive in NE. Offensive operations ...

Few nitpickings. In the previous scenario I thought the Marcos were not supposed to take anyone prisoners. :twisted: And in the new scenario in Afghanistan, the action is supposed to be taking place at night with the use of NVG. What difference does an "orange" smoke make for a marker? I t...
