Are you Indian? If yes, why do you say that? What makes you Indian? What constitutes Indianness? If this question is easy to answer, let me ratchet up the difficulty level and ask you to put yourself in someone else's shoes and answer the following: a)You are a Muslim from North India. Your family i...

I can't resist this - and since Raj sent the pics and the brochures and the report let me give you guys a sneak preview of one of 100 odd defexpo pictures.

Thanks for the super write up - I have learned something here. This material really needs to go into a more permanent place.

Back to Sunil's question from the old thread.Did the Agni test really aggravate Pakistan more than previous tests or Naval missile tests?Perhaps some clues here - though there is no reference to the Agni test - and sorry for cross posting again - but it's an interesting theory (never mind if i...

Sunil - I am sure that all nuclear weapon armed states would like to predict a situation in which "breakdown of deterrence" would occur.

Umrao Jaan - I did not have a compass big enough to draw an arc on a huge map (Zilch engg tools anywhere near me) - I marked the dots by hand using a scale, scanned the image and added the other stuff later.Hence the crooked curve - which should have been a proper arc.

OK Sanjay, this is a special for you:The image shows a Map of part of India and China. Beijing is marked on the map. An Isometric line joining spots equidistant from Beijing are maked on the map, and a little inset marks out only the states through which the 2500 Km, 3000 Km, 3500 Km and 3700 ...

If, in theory, India were to test a cruise missile in a year's time - we may well be tempted to ask - OK - so why have we been fooling around with the Prithvi till last year?The answer, as mentioned by ramana in the old thread lies in history and may be read in detail in Raj Chengappa's book, "We...

A simple Google search for the Kalashnikov and Lee Enfiled 303 gives a lot of variable information, but many speak of an effective range of 300 M for the Kalashnikov assault rifle and 800 M for the 303. Note that both weapons retain their lethality - i.e. they can kill over much longer dis...

AFAIK - the bren remains a good weapon for close in situations.The 7.62 packs a punch at longer ranges and is accurate - and must not (and cannot) be used for rapid fire spraying like we see Palestinian diwali celebrators do.Someone asked why a policeman took shelter behind a pillar.Two poi...

Yesterday I was shot by a 7.62 mm SLR. Nothing happened to me because the gun was old. I picked up a new gun and shot my assailants. Luckily there were two cars waiting. One was a 1985 Maruti and the other was newer - a 1989 Amby. I escaped in the newer car - obviously the better one.
