A request to the old-timers: I remember reading a post on the forum which mentioned a study by an AMU researcher which established that a lot of the Hindu-Muslim riots started on Fridays; very likely after the sermons had poured fire and brimestone. Does anyone remember the details of that study? To...

Much — MUCH — more than meets the eye/reports on Pangong’s south bank. And elsewhere. No riddles. It’s a tense, sensitive situation. Brigadier-level talks on again. No space for half info. Will update with facts on

Pre-emptive

Looks like pre-emption was to take over a PLA position and get POWs.

Thanks for this always bothered me. That MSD Wollen was livid about the Atoll AAM missing the target and getting diverted to earth. So why were the Type 74 not deployed once the gun issue was understood? IIRC they were flying all the aircraft they had. The T-76 had a radar which could make the cruc...

For those who were laughing at the idea of using a tablet to integrate IAF comms with the F-35 system computer, the Indian Rafale's have a tablet system which the pilot takes with them, and which gets plugged into the Aircraft when they are ready to fly. That exchange showed a fundamental gap in Ind...

A minor correction to the above post the MiG21 induction and the 1965 war. The 1st batch of MiG21s did have guns which were subsequently removed in the next batch which were actually used in the 1965 war. Lack of pilot training was the primary reason why the MiG21 was employed on a defensive mode. T...

3. War Time Equipment Transfer: Precedence There is a lot of precedence for this. From the US led Lend-Lease program in WW-II, to the transfer of Jordanian F-104s to PAF 1971, this is nothing new.

Folks there is some chatter of F-35 sales to India being approved by the US Senate. Regardless of whether there is any permanent purchase, a squadron of "loaned"aircraft distributed in sets of 2-3 over a few airbases, can really help IAF. They can be the ambush bandits, firing long range ...

Just to let you know all these maps of positions of Chinese position that people keep going on about are not accurate. There is margin of error so that that when you draw the LAC it can show Indians in Chinese land and the opposite. So take the maps with a pinch of salt . Maps used by ARMY /NAVY AI...

It's not that simple - if India undertakes GB/PoK campaign then it would avoid war across IB to keep it in the domain of reclaiming lost territory and not be labelled as imperialist.

So glad there are others here who don’t get carried away with bravado. Take the red pill y’all. Nothing wrong with the bravado.

So the US wants to buy Turkeys S400 so that it can sell F35s.

The Russians are unlikely to allow the US to lay their hands on it.

So perhaps the US can buy it from Turkey and "gift" it to India.
