CRPF seems to be going for 7.62x51 while the Army seems to be buying AK203, which is 7.62x39. I don't know - it all seems reversed. What is the usecase for CRPF to go for such a powerful round ? Nothing to take the achievement away - I'm glad that CRPF is going for a desi gun instead of going the ar...

I think we're reading the KA results wrong.

If Russia directly eliminates Z they will lose a lot of non-west support. They have let him get too big.

Sachinji, I think the way the current SC thinking is going, all rules are out of the window. For example, it is sacrosanct that laws can only be enacted by the Parliament.

I don't really mind if Australia or Canada part with some of their own land and establish Khalistan there. Since they are all about freedom of expression, I'm sure they won't mind.

Thanks. The radar in the pic seems to be 2084. Wish we had a desi alternative for MRSAM.

The army also has a couple of regiments. But even then, 14000 number seems to have an added zero, given the cost.
That's a pity, because it is a perfect shock and awe weapon to be used in the early hours of a war.
