Why is Indian media facing a backlash in Nepal?
Posted without comment but hopefully good coaching for our media... hopefully

from above China's strategic stocks were estimated in January at more than 30 days' worth of crude imports. It plans to eventually build reserves of around 600 million barrels, or about 90 days of import cover. India's SPR should cover approximately 13 days of imports when it is completed by the end...

Not sure if posted earlier..A slide show of Astra Launch including video.. Smokeless is to be seen to be believed.. Have to navigate this thru ads but worth it for dedicated folks..

seems the good prof is being raked over the coals.. See comments on his blog

Definite Agenda.. Why not be objective and factual rather than personal and condescending.. "the system failed miserably" .. Who decided this? Shouldn't it be enough to say the system failed?
Chutiaz. Sold out self hating DDM..

Navy is so far ahead than the Army or AirForce when it comes to indiginsation. Witness the finger pointing that characterizes those forces while the Navy quietly goes ahead decades in advance and achieves what it needs with minimum drama. Kudos..

Jayram

DDM strikes again.. obvious lead of wrong pic of Arihant in that article made worse by the fact that the correct pic of Arihant is also posted on the same page..

Start the goddam COLD WAR with the Pukis already and by that I mean all options on the table short of declared war. Start by going after Dawood and getting him to stand trial in India. Increase our intellegence assets in Pukisthan to the max.. Nothing should move in Pukiworld with out our knowledge ...

Might be slightly off topic but see the karmic spinoff of the MOM mission and two interesting items on the comments section especially.. http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/2014/09/should-india-get-a-permanent-security-council-seat-sen-cornyn-says-yes.html/ from comments for me at least 1. ...

http://news.yahoo.com/india-successfully-puts-spacecraft-mars-orbit-054911916.html A better much better article from Yahoo with no Drain inspector crap and mentions Chandrayyan as well giving credit for finding the source of water on there as well. Really so so much more refreshing makes the others...

Jayram

Got it .. in simple words the spacecraft needs to be slowed down to that velocity in order to be captured into Mars orbit and we got there with precision autonomously!!
Amazing does not come close to describing it!!

Jayram

This from ISRO page
"We've the signal. 1099 m/s. Expected - 1098.7 m/s"
What is this? And why is it important.. how does this relate to MOM insertion? Some gyan please thanks..

Jayram

Congratulations ISRO makes my Dil proud!!

I think those masts or periscopes color scheme being high visibility means this puppy has not left for the deep ocean when this photo was taken. If it did that would be the first thing painted over..

Target number 1 should be Dawood bhai.. Anyone the Pakis are guarding so closely should be well worth the trouble.. Imagine what a coup that would be for the PM and for India.. Then all the congress netas with thier shady underwold links would come tumbling out of the closet.

Interesting Modiji chose to speak in English! maybe for international/western tv audience? it will be easier for foreign networks to play this clip. for a man who thinks about everything, this must be a decision based on some angle. Maybe the reason is more tactical.. he is in South India and wante...

The issue is the preparation of a block of specific Al alloy in a single crystal without flaws that is then cnc'ed to make the central wing box - this is the core of the aircraft and is a jealously guarded technology that only a few have managed to produce. It's not just about the alloy itself Just...

Talking to a colleague whose spouse is a pilot with a major airline.. the suspicion is on the pilot. It is very unusual for someone to have a complete flight simulator in thier backyard. Not the software type but the full gizmo with hydraluic legs et all..

Is this missile subjected to rolling in flight hence the lack of fins to extend glide range?

A little off topic but needs to be said.. Seems like we need to approach the Kaveri problem differently. There are a lot of retired Engine designers in Russia and US who can be tapped to provide consulting in Engine and Metallurgy. Bring them here pay them enough dollars as consulting fees only and ...

Those who wish to use the IRNSS will need receivers equipped to pick up and utilise the data transmitted by the Indian satellite system. A standard GPS receiver will not do. Any reason for this? Is this to recover money to enable this technology or is this simply standard practice since gps recieve...

Looking at the video @2.41 Does this mean wake penetration tests and the handling incorporated in flight laws has been completed?
It would be interesting to get a confirmation..

A dumb question but I have always wondered about this. Given that the LCA's thrust to weight ratio is >1 why should the AOA matter in certain scenarios ie in a knife fight? In those scenarios the LCA can/should basically behave like a rocket and not need any lift at all with the engine basically pow...

Excellent paper highlighting the our indigenous capabilities to the fullest. Will go a long way to reinforcing what our own engineers had to do to overcome "phoren" defects.. Much respect to HAL's engineers on this one..

Very Sad and shocking news. RIP now at least.

real good HD quality.. that engine shut off for 5 to 7 seconds is awesome at 1:20ish. I wish they can show one similar video with all things loaded up full MTOW! That is not engine shutoff. It is afterburner shut off. You can notice at 3.08 or so when jet forms up with the much slower jets flying i...

Soros unloads all finance stocks and loads up gold Gurus .. getting a lot of gloom and doom emails in my mailbox these days.

crazy question but why dont we collaborate engine development or outsource the problem parts of engine development with Israel? Those guys may not have the know how now but surely can be tasked to develop this single grain blades or blisk or whatever else. No problems with H&D for the GTRE babus...
