We cannot wish Musharraf or indeed Pakistan away.To my mind he is our best bet-the most moderate of the lot and a straight forward army man. An army man without honor or sense of duty to his fellow brothers-in-arms. How do you make treaties with such a man? Paki soldiers died for their country and ...

Dunno if I like the name chosen. I wish it had more "punch" to it, like a sword or a predatory bird. Think of the F-102 Delta Dagger, the F-16 Fighting Falcon. I wonder if "LCA" will stick rather than its official name. Nobody calls the UH-1 chopper the "Iroquois", it i...

Originally posted by Priyank: IIRC the largest nuke ever built and tested was a Russian 100 megaton one. So in short, a 200 kiloton thermonuclear warhead is enough to give the Pakis and the Chinese second thoughts. Actually the largest was the 50 MT Soviet "king of bombs", a 3 stage devic...

Digital terrain maps?
Is the land attack Klub that sophisticated?

Gerard

How effective is the land attack version of the Klub? I presume it is for shore targets only?
Can it strike deep inland?

DRDO has not so far manufactured "enough Agni II in quantity." Since when is DRDO responsible for manufacturing missiles in quantity? Isn't this done by Bharat Dynamics and similar firms? Doesn't this require funding etc from the MoD? Quoting the LCA CAG report from 1998 is silly. One wou...

If gas turbines are to be used, hopefully the folk working on the Kaveri engine can provide an indigenous alternative.

Interesting idea.

One other possibility is that the "sudden flood" was made up long afterwards by folk who were aware of the submerged city and attempted to explain it.

Gerard

The "swallowed it up entirely in a single day" suggests an earthquake rather than flooding from rising sea levels.

The pics of the previous Agni-II launch showed the missile in the exact same position (along the rail line from the hanger/shed) for launch. It would seem that this is the launch site and a wheeled TEL was backed into position.I seem to recall TV footage close ups showing fins on the RV.
