Does the livery of the missile signifies anything? Earlier ones used to be white ones while this one seem to be in camouflage

FWIW, seems the GSAT11 has exact same sub systems, that are suspect in 6A's issues. Since -11 was shipped to Kourou before the failure of 6A opened the issues up, they had to get it back at great cost, fix and test. The scrubbed launch will take months to re-organize, but for a huge capital asset, ...

Here is a link to the video of the crash. Looks like the tail rotor hit some iron rod at the very last sec. Also I am not a pilot but the landing approach looks very fast. May be that's how it is done

SAARC is meaningless otherwise we could have built a regional body to take care of a common interest. Problem lies somewhat within our region that we have so many conflicting interests--- religious diversities -- is it a boon or an overhead?

Are they deliberately not showing the time v velocity and time v altitude plot and instead just showing ISRO scientists due to some sensitivity around the satellites being placed for military purpose? In US also NROL launches are heavily censored post launch

Thoda aaram pharmao yaar. Somebody wrote a crappy article that J-10 could not fly over 3000 mtrs and you believed it. Then you extrapolated it to the Su-30MKI as well. Learn to sift crap from the rest. 3,000 mtrs is really low for an aircraft. Yeah, you’re right Saar. I’m Amreeki educated and can’t...

Can they take sharp bends and also are these off-road mobile? I am not an expert but I guess one of the key advantage of road-mobile launcher is its ability to fire and scoot. Given Indian road condition other than main highways rest of the local roads might have sharp bends with less than optimal d...

Agree and why won't they? They hold the cards and using it for their interest. It is not rocket science. It is our misguided and outdated expectation of so called brotherhood, hugs, Raj Kapoor fantasy with Soviets and Russia that need to change.

Why can't we play the role Pakistan is playing against us (Asymmetric but credible deterrence) against China. I am really an amateur but I wonder why do we need AC.
