Like the PRC wont be building type 54 for the TSPN?? That India needed to buy ships from Russia to keep them out of TSP hands.

Mort, don't have the energy to get into this discussion any more.

I have a gut feeling that this is also a calculated risk taken by the govt to stress test our power distribution infrastructure using this Corona opportunity of lower usage due to industrial shutdowns. Such opportunities do not come every day. Every modern day corporate does this using "chaos m...

It is not just Apaches. Be it Rafales or S400, it appears that the P5 have the first right on our defense capex. Not sure what's the critical short coming for which we are held by our curlies.

The buggers shafted us during ToT by providing a faulty breach design. We finally rectified the same after a decade via soltam. The current import of 2 barrel is only to ensure they come up with certified ammo for the same. The ammo(consumable) is where the gravy is with each shell costing us 20 lak...

The first flight didn't have the ubiquitous wvr aam on the outermost pylon as flutter weight.
Also the midboard pylon were fitted to cover the Kuchemann Carrot behind it.

Yup, Kuntal is the gold standard.

Bharat - Ratna for Kuntal Biswas. Finally, after a long delay, one critical gap in capability is getting fulfilled where Pakis and Chinis used to rule the roost.

The issue with Kaveri is 0-institutional support/risk-taking attitude for an ab-initio high-tech product. After-all, nobody stopped MoD/IAF/GTRE to simply do what the Chinese did i.e. Accept it as is and force it to, atleast partial, squadron service. And 5-7 years of regular flying would throw-up ...

Lt Gen Shankar has lead not only Pinaka but Dhanush effort as well. For the next one decade, his comments would still be extremely up to date and valid as he was involved in the R&D side as well. However, he may have some bias towards 52 caliber Dhanush than 52 caliber 25 L chamber ATAGS

Any reason why the number of rockets got reduced from 6 to 4 in each pod? My understanding is that the dimension didn't increase and the weight increase is also minimal (~15 kg), so why reduce the throw-weight?

Btw, there's video floating around on the SM of the empty seats in Modi rally today. Not sure if that's one off, some trick video or there's genuine popular backlash against BJP where people are no longer interested on NaMo.

Amit Shah has spoken extensively on NRC in parliament, with media, in election rallys. Today, PM says, no one has talked about NRC. It will be seen as a backtracking.

Now you are being obstinate. The number of Assamese not in NRC is 1 lakh, Nepali 1 lakh. As for source you are educated. So google recent interview of HBS with Rajdeep.

Not only the above security and public health issue would go up many times but there will be other problems.
