Gagan or Krishna, On a plan view of your renderings try to fit in eight circles and see what it does to the shape and size of the platform. Good idea, Ramana. A fleet of 3 SSBNs each armed with 8 K-X missiles would mean a minimum of 16 missiles ready 'on patrol' with another 8 in the third sub can ...

Anabhaya

Let the Arihant be. There's still trials and the whole lot to be done.

All that I want is a reassurance that the next sub would at a minimum carry 8 K-X missiles.

The problem is that you cannot tell the future, and in the future, their interests and your interests may conflict.

But in the case of the US they do conflict - right now!

This can get off-topic.

New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) On the eve of boundary talks, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor today said China has no "locus standi" on a key irrigation project in Arunachal Pradesh which it is opposing as the state is integral part of India. Arunachal is integral part of Ind...

Come to think of it, the French and Russian almost never 'sanction' equipment transfers. You could blame them for price negotiations, jacking up the counter price and other such trivial issues but you'd be hard pressed to find the French or Russian suppliers having to withhold supplies to the extent...

The blogsphere is ripe with rumour. The elusive Kumaran Pathmanaban/KP/Selvarajah Pathmanathan might have been arrested.

Edit: SL Defmin website claims KP taken into custody by Sri Lankan law enforcement authorities. CNN/Reuters also report the same. Apparently picked up in Thailand.

KP arrested

The problem with buying Russian aircrafts is that we're already largely dependent on them to maintain nearly half our fleet of aircraft's. In addition to the 230 Su-30-MKI if we were to buy another 126+60 MRCA then we're stuck to Russia for maintenance and spares issues for 400 of our aircraft's.Tha...

Does the Royal Army still provide batmans for its officers? How does it work in other countries?

Anabhaya

Err but it wont necessarily say 'Agni Express' on the computers would it? It could simply be one of the hundreds of trains IA would commandeer during crisis.

Anabhaya

It is a sorry state of affairs that the IA recieves so much flak even on BR! There is nothing that stops the IA top brass from organizing a proper press briefing about the state of artillery modernization plans. I recollect how navy/af chiefs went public about new acquisitions. Yes, leaks are part o...

However, when I am told to go to war, I sure would like an equipment that there is no doubt about. My planning on assumptions should not lead to unwarrented loss of life.

Ray, when was the last time an army fought with all the equipment they wanted?

Anabhaya

TS Subramaniam at the Hindu has consistently maintained that the ATV reactor is ideed 100MWe.

Anabhaya

4 Agni-3 SL appears to be woefully inadequate. It's OK if Arihant would be a one off testbad case with the next version carrying atleast 12 rounds.

4 is not enough.

AFS Sulur will be to the Tejas what Pune is to Flanker MKI.

I'm still hoping the babies will be named INS Raja Raja and INS Rajendra.

Sandipan,

Honestly, I wonder what this is all about. Gimmicks! Honestly, Sir, whatever little the forces/MoD do for publicity is welcome. Compared to the amount of marketing we see in other countries Indian forces are best described incompetent. Do take a look at how Sri Lankan forces/MOD carried out publici...

I don't see anything 'planned' to fit precisely in the time period hushed about. If anything old plans are coming to fruition, and if past indicators are to go by there will be time slippages.

All Gen.Paddy did was to write a piece of fiction, perhaps to kill time!

Anabhaya

Charles was his eldest and was killed in another area. Balachandran was his youngest.

Nice story, though!

With all due respect there is no basis for LTTE having a sort of a clearing HQ in Madurai. Zero basis claim. Just what on earth did LTTE have/bring to Madurai to clear really? I don't know what John Snow saw but the LTTE never ran their business in North Car Street! Besides we're talking about THE L...

Will Antony also ensure the armed forces are well equipped to wade off threats? Is he a anti-Corruption minister or the DefMin?

For the immediate future a strong case can be made for developing the Sri Lankan navy.

Reg. ATV-INS Raja Raja Chola(who else but Raja Raja and Rajendra?) there has been a false start already. Hopefully this August will bring in cheer!

Blind men of Hindoostan Acharya, let's try working on this. K Subrahmaniyam has explained why it is a tricky issue for Indian PM to be attending SCO while we're only an Observer. Now I'm not going to make assumptions about who the blind men of Hindoostan are, I'd rather hear who they are from you. ...

This, as I was myselves told before, is a pointless discussion. Rajpakse is coming to New Delhi very soon. Thusitha - what is he bringing with him?

K Prasad,

So this is a new NTRO project?

Also nothing unique about Indian services...the 5 and 6 spooks did fight amongst themselves for many a things. Boys will always be boys - wanting the best toys.

This Cosmic energy is kept alive by frequently chanting the Hymns or prayers.This is very scientific and nothing superstitious. :lol: I really did love this thread until I came up to this bit here. Sir, no offence intended but can you keep such views away from this forum. Some unwashed abdul is goi...

Okay so I go back to read the damn report. It appears to be a project to standardize/network all interception capablities.

Why else would they call it Central Lawful Interception and Monitoring System ? I hope so.

The Maoists appear to have chosen the time quite cleverly. Over the last weeks Indian envoys have had meetings in Nepal. Let's watch how this unfolds.

Hmm, just how much of the blame should the Govt take? Afterall they don't want to buy Bofors which is the best performing gun out there I think! IA has had fair share of huge acquisitions. T-90S, anti-tank missiles, the BEL WLR, Dhruv's(120), SMERCH, and Pinaka to name a few. I would think that the ...

Hit the bulls eye every time Must say if the guy who said that is really IA then I'm beginning to lose confidence in the institution. IA has been coming under a lot of flak for a while now, and the way it has been conducting PR is absolute nonsense. If all thay can do is hide behind the veil of 'so...

IBN finds half a dozen 'loyal' babus. All of them agree that this is a 'good' start and a 'victory' for Indian diplomacy.

What can you mail MMS to remind him of his timid response? Anklets worn by mujra dancers?

MKN is Sonia's appointee at the PMO. MMS can't fire him now can he?

I did read the entire MKN interview. Looks like GoI is giving Pak every chance to come clean - for the sake of the effin 'international community'. Okay, pakis don't do enough - then what really?
