Re: Are We Ready for a Two-front War ?
China and Pakistan need to know that in order to do a combined attack on India they had better plan a nuclear attack right from the beginning. Losing such a war while we debate the philosophy of a Pakistan China attack cannot be an option. Is there not a scenario planning group within the Indian fo...

The added issue this time will be some temporary loss in economic output. Temporary simply because the economic tie up with the West is tight. As far as any conflict scen...

2 or 6 LACMS?
Arming their H6s with 2 LACMs each is somewhat confusing especially when they have capacity for 6. - So the logic here is that this is a long-range mission and therefore they cannot go with 6? No mid air refueling for these platforms? Just wondering about the 6 LACM's seems like 2 is correct ..... ...
