@Rakesh: I have no disagreement on the thrust to invest on the capital side, indigenize to the max. One way to look at these strategic investments is as buyers of time to make these conventional investments. No matter how fast you and me would want this, we know the realities. It will take time and ...

Your proposal is intriguing but mission planning will be a severe challenge. And can we even afford it given we cant even afford MRFA right now. Add Rafales, and then BGVs/ HGVs, MIRVs to Agni - that's cheaper than 6 white elephants. If India could afford an entire SSBN and SLBM program (not from I...

The primary mission profile of the blackjack will be the strategic mission. The primary route for this is most likely over waters supported by tankers and escorts to maximize success of mission.

@Rakesh: Look at it this way. Is there acceptance of the Triad? Yes. Is a LR Bomber the most apt delivery platform for the IAF component of the Triad? Yes. Is the TU-160 the most potent platform available to India? Yes. Does it beat equivalent Chinese capabilities in the near/medium term and provide...

I do not think the alleged planned acquisition of TU-160 will be from the IAF capital budget. It will go in the strategic bucket on the same lines as the Agnis and SSBN/SLBM assets for the IA and IN respectively. The TU-160 will provide the IAF its strategic asset along with air launched assets in t...

IAF will finally get a strategic bomber The Indian Air Force seems to be getting over the strategic hump, perhaps with a little push from the PMO, and will soon acquire the advanced and upgraded version of the Tu-160 Blackjack called the ‘White Swan’. This transaction, after the S-400 and help in h...

It is quite interesting of the US to first create a problem and now they will claim how US helped overcome the problem as a favor to India. Hope Indian leaders do not fall for this and order a bunch of American weapons as a reward. Having said that the 6 democrats who voted against the bill should b...

Wrong theory. America was first a religious state. Mercantilism came to the fore after expanding to both coasts and fighting the Civil and Indian Wars. After the collapse of FSU, the War on Terror, and the 2008 financial meltdown, it's back to religion. We are seeing the restoring the old normal. S...

RD: A few pointers from my perspective. The definite set of guidelines, codes, laws, conventions, evolutions for the "definitions" of Hindu Rashtra are well codified for 1000's of years. These ideas are at the end of the day codified as laws and these exist in spades in our dharma smritis ...

I think there is nothing ignoble about a man seeing a career of soldiering as a path to a good respectable life, with a steady job and some position in society. Part of kshatra-dharma is society guaranteeing respect & a decent material standard of living, in exchange for a life of rigorous disc...

As I said very specifically earlier, your ideas on what should be the correct and idealistic way to go, cannot dictate the way of working of the Indian Army.

I was very much struck by his idea of offering China a Kunming-Calcutta connection in exchange for them abandoning PoK. The Chinese want an alternative connection to the sea and the Aksai Chin-Pok-Gwadar route is simply too long. Kunming-Calcutta would make a lot more sense for them and also help u...

ramana: My view is keeping the Islamic powers off balance and in a state of siege is always to the benefit of Indian power, even if in the short term India does lose due to oil prices and impact on remittances. The NRI's of the region still are the largest source of funds into India.
