Well he was a Lt Gen when the issue arose, a rank that less than 3 out of every 1000 officers attains. Is the issue of making it to a four star rank worth a compromise that strips one of 10 months in office? Sure. But having done so he has to stick with it. One can just as easily attribute it to 'w...

Surya,
Thanks. Also other BRFites who spend countless hours poring through news articles etc. making issues far easier for peeps like me to understand.

Surya,
Which one is this ? I'm sorry if it has been posted before.

Rangudu,
Pretty much all of bhadrakumar's articles have been reflexively anti-US for as long as I've been on this forum.

The French selling weapons and/or technology to the Chinese is far more of a risk to India than the US doing the same to Pakistan. I wouldn't chalk US reticence in selling weapons to China down to principles. At least not all of it. That said how does the reason matter. That the US chooses to active...

IIRC the actuators are from MOOG

Plz to saar.

Would it make sense for BRF to host micro sites for our fallen heroes ? Easier to have all that information at a central location

Singha,
+1 re the Super Stallion. Not sure if the russian mi-26s will offer the same uptime as their US counterparts. Range/payload for the Mi-26 beats out the Super Stallions pretty comprehensively though.

Hitesh,
The US is quite capable of pressuring Israel to not sell Phalcons Boeing or not. And they did do that in the case of China.

Singha,
Offsets for the Rafale . We've managed to get a good deal out of the C17s no ?

At the same time, if Kaveri is flying on test bed and it has heat area materials replacement faster than other benchmark engines , then Kaveri must be surely at some stage where GTRE has a meaningful contribution. Looks like the reason GTRE can't improve the thrust is not that they don't know what ...

US policy to blame for trust deficit with India: Musharraf Highlights: Also blaming what he called the "malicious role of India and the Afghan government itself in maligning Pakistan's military and intelligence" Musharraf said: "We know what Indian consulates in Kandahar and Jalalaba...

http://www.virtualbox.org/ is free, as against VMWare. Works well too.

Did dileep complete his old story

But the BJP cannot muster the image that is required in this day and age. The Indian today looks for a leader who can stand out and can APPEAR to stand out and walk as an equal among all those great admired firangis. This is actually a very simple PR trick but the Hindus dogeddly fail to perform th...

Johann,
What exactly did the former Soviet Union fear about China ?

I wonder what our position would have been if we had Indian troops in Iraq right now.

I have a proposal so that we can share/search the enormous amount of information generated on BRF on such important threads. http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com allows one to save links & pages and set tags on them so that others can search on such tags and find saved documents saved by an entire com...

Ramanna, The relationship between the Pakis and Chinese is as deep as the oceans themselves. The chinese certainly helped the Pakis for their own needs, but that didn't stop the Pakis from providing them with F-16s and Tomahawks for reverse engg. So why not the latest american nuke components too ? ...

Alok_N, Pardon my cliche, par aap ne to mere moonh ki baat cheen li. The Paki rats are probably fronting for the Chinese. The Chinese have not only provided bums to the rats, but also the delivery systems. Surely they would like to get some something out of the deal. The Chinese/Pakis seem to have h...
