Any comment from the Indian Air Force's most well known Group Captain who also happens to be a Rajya Sabha MP.

So, we when we ordered the T-90s,the Russians mentioned abot fitting airconditioning in them.Our Brass decided that our Indian jawans are macho plus what will the infantry say etc and said we don't want ACs. Never mind that the Russkies said its the electronics that need cooling. So,the tank starts ...

Interesting.Is the name Solangi a distortion of 'Solanki' ?

Look at the comments thread in the Saudi Officer vs ASF Story -It feels strange no one is whining about India

Hi,
I am finding this very interesting and we really ought to do a cold blooded analysis of what each one's points are.
Anyone up for a red vs blue analysis /game and do a coherent pro vs con study?

Guys,
We are losing the plot hereby going off target and confusing things.

Hi, At least 4 months as serviceon board fleet ships to get watchkeeping certificate. I think the total tenure is 6 months odd where they get exposure to seamanship,basics at sea,watchkeeping,navigation,ActionInformation Organisation,weapons,sensors and other tech. They get exposures to all cadres o...

Hi Shiv,

Great topic.

One has to compare the LCA project against other benchmarks to appreciate what we have managed.
I mean our first indegenous car is the Indica!!!

The TATAs have some sort of issues/history of not being selected as suppliers to MoD. Maybe its their no bribe policy. I also discovered another nugget--apparently the Tata Group is morally happy with making bits and pieces of hardware..benign stuff but they will not like making weapons. Their JV pu...

Chacko, I think it will be better for all of us if you could direct these questions at yourself rather than forum members. Most of this thread has turned into a correction of your innocent-babe-in-the-woods semantic and linguistic distortions. We try to discuss serious issues,you provoke the hair tr...

What would you rather have him say Chacko?

A reasonable person will always seek to avoid conflict; this is what the Gen is implying.

Don't distort his message.
Please.

They are doing this to the Army that was the first one to stop and reverse the Japanese and the Germans.
The Army that created a new nation in 1971 and let 93,000 POWs live.

Rohitbhai, It just occured to me that mil eqpt may be duty exempt imports. if not,then the effective tax,duty,countervailing duty etc will be about 25% of invoice value.this is what we pay when we want to import plant equipment. maybe this is the real tragedy-- make India an importer so that 25% of ...

Something significant from yesterday's We The People on NDTV KV stated quite bluntly on the prgm that AKA had been 'economical' with the truth when he had given out his version of the meeting between him and VKS after the latter had come to him to appraise the RM of the bribe offer. The Hindu interv...

Hi Chacko,
Just noticed you mentioning BHEL being involved in this too on your post on page 25.
Amazing,how you break these stories.

I thought BHEL was a navratna PSU and all that but..shucks..

The RRM has been a NCC Cadet and it shows in his interactions with military personnel.Nice guy.

I think we are making a mistake when we say that our politicians differ from our soldiers. They don't. Army officers have their loyalty to their Regiment, their Arm (INF,CAV,EME etc).They compete on these right from academy days to various promotions.But they are all united and fight together for th...

I suppose the Govt,MPs etc will finish this matter in the next 2 days as IPL starts next week and all of them have to go and attend the functions.

Hi Chacko, I bow down to your media skills and knowledge. Can you remind us when was the last time any service chief spoke in public about his soldiers dying in accidents,tragedies and to bullets. Heck, I don't even think any of the posthumous gallantry award winners are spoken of by service chiefs ...

Well fought Blue,Red is the winner.

We can expect the General to do something/give a proper reaction to what has happened after he comes back from the important,bilateral visit to the UK.
Also,the RM is away to KSA as well,so we'll learn more once both come back.

Austin-
Can you elaborate on Admiral Bhagwat's spending time in the submarine arm.
I do not remember him wearing 'Dolphins' hence the query.

Please clarify.

I propose an open source based series of pen portraits of our 2 star and above officers.It's high time somebody did this .it's useful when one has to read up about people under discussion.
I will even suggest a series of biographies of 3 stars and service chiefs since 1980.anyone up for it ?

Can we really look into the feasibility of this?I mean if this was so simple,we could have done this already in the week after 26/11 when the world had become or pretended to become a Mumbaikar.

Look at the way the ISI takes the PN seriously..these 2 officers and that Azhar Naeem guy,(CO Babur) occupy high ranks in the ISI heirarchy.

Interesting.

Agreed Sir,

We need to dominate the roots of our history, our sub-continent's narrative if you will.
And then,run with it.

We need to deploy and employ Weapons of Mass Communication as we have an edge here.
