I'm just so goddamn happy that new artillery is being inducted finally, even if some journalists are calling them "Desi Bofors". I just can't wait to see the ATAGS come into play as well. Does anybody know what names are being considered for the ATAGS? I wonder if a Sanskrit translation fo...

I'm not a huge fan of non-retractable refueling probes, since they like an ugly wart on an otherwise beautiful object imo. Was this chosen over a retractable probe due to size limitations of the radome, weight savings, something else? As a Cobham manager mentioned a long time ago, they explored ret...

The US Navy along with the Sea Power Congressional committees has released its 30-year ship building plan. FY 2020 U.S. Navy 30-Year Shipbuilding Plan I'm still reading the full document and the supplementals but so far some key findings - - They will end DDG-51 Flight III program in 2024 after buy...

will do.

Calm yourself, it's only a question regarding the use of a strategic resource for Spec Ops being used to ferry staff. MeshaVishwas clarified that it was being used for TROPEX2019. What you want to know is alternative operational uses of Hercules (such as command posts) or relation between services ...

This kind of reporting without any context aims to extract operational details by sensationalising a non-matter. BRF would do well to nip such posts in the bud. Calm yourself, it's only a question regarding the use of a strategic resource for Spec Ops being used to ferry staff. MeshaVishwas clarifi...

Just another "troop transporter" ferrying the CDS, Admiral Lanba Image Courtesy : The Indian Navy Nitpicking here, but wouldn't it be cheaper for the Navy (and other arms for all that matters) to charter a flight from one of the airlines, instead of using an asset like the Hercules? Unnec...

BTW out of sheer curiosity, what would be the feasibility of trying to get something like this as a Vishaal? Just wondering? Lease it perhaps? Buy 60 super hornets and ensure local production of the 414? The US if our new Chum esp for the Navy it seems... https://www.google.com/amp/s/taskandpurpose...

FWIW only .... Via circulation online! Hats off to the Wg Cdr Abhinandan (I suddenly want to grow the same style of stache as him). The only question I have is why the Su-30 did not chase the F-16, while the MiG guarded the oil field? Was the intention that the Sukhoi hold the line while the 21's R...

Nose Cone, which will still cause issues with the radar being able to scan at certain angles due to the limitations in place with the nose cone dimensions.

I suspect that PAF might sneak up to or release their bombs from their own airspace at some empty field and than claim equal equal. In that case, they may think that since no damage was done to India or Indians there won’t be a retaliation. The other face saving avenue i can think off is intense ho...

I think most Indians couldn't work properly today productivity rates where Indians work must've taken a nosedive, especially if they are brfites :D Just now received a call from relative, He is organizing a party this weekend to celebrate IAF strikes :shock: A Dalmore 18 would pair perfectly, imo.

hell i should be working in office. visiting US for two weeks, saw gafoora's tweets made fun of him on twitter and tehn went to sleep. Now can't focus on work. I'm in the same boat as you. Thankfully, I haven't got a ticket yet to distract me from what really matters :lol: Oh wait, it's lunch time!

if they cross border it wont matter. Will IAF get to cook the goose or IA?

Why not both? Hell, if they cross the border, the IN could join the fray as well. Old Neptune, Shake thy hoary locks!

Could it just be posturing? Trying to make the Indian Forces flinch and fire first (small arms/mortars not included)?

I'm spending more time refreshing and reading this thread, than doing work, at work. I just wish I had a bag of popcorn with extra butter, topped with jalapenos at the moment. I'm just hoping that PM Modi stares dead pan to his cabinet ministers and utters the following words: "Release the Krak...

Hello All; appreciate you folks letting me join. Been a long-time lurker. I do have a query for any resident tank experts we might have regarding T-90's in service with the Indian Army.
