Perhaps, Nither the Indian Army nor the IAF foresee a situation where they will need the capacity that a very large airlifter provides. They are confident of the forward deployed forces and prepositioned materials. Along with the adequacy of the road network to provide reinforcement and replenishme...

So, this first world country where there are a lot of crime documentaries, doesn't know which person(s) did it, doesn't seem to have evidence and doesn't have a case, yet has decided that the culprit is India ?

Is Canada a state backer of terrorism? To me, the answer is yes, and we need to call them out as such

If the women's reservation bill is going to designate 33% constituencies to women on rotation basis (like it is done for caste reservation right now), then I oppose it. They will be restricting the choice of candidates for the voters. I want the bill to enforce political parties give 33% of their ti...

It is also looking at a new, more advanced towed gun system from the Indian industry.

WTF ? What is even more advanced towed gun than ATAGS ? What do they want to advance it on ?

My thought is to retaliate to every terror attack by straightening the LOC just a little, one Baki post at a time and do it silently. We gain territory, the Baki army gets the message but it still saves their H&D, so they likely will not escalate.

For missions to far side of the moon, you'd want a relay at the earth-moon L2 point. Aditya L1 is going to be in Earth-Sun L1 point, which could be on the other side of earth for sometime (depending on orbital position of moon).

So, the Astra was fired by LSP-7. Begs the question - what radar was used to cue the Astra missile ? Was it the 2032-hybrid radar of Tejas Mk1 or the 2052 radar of Mk1A (is LSP-7 a testbed for 2052?) or is it Uttam AESA ?
