Pranab Da has already declared India as the Lynch pin of Asian security.

Prem, when was that? I know, the talk has been about India & PRC as two pillars of Asian future, security blah blah..

This should have been posted by now. From Telegraph, 27 June 2007 Look Who is talking? Awesome.. After so much fuzzy logic statements, first clear-cut, on your face talk by GoI. I guess, this would bring the BP of many BRfites down. I so much wish, some of this to be spoken to the Chinese. They des...

Folks, What is so disspointing is to see people involved with Indian strategic planning/ thinking circle have sold out or are trying in that direction (like this K. Sreedhar Rao chap). India was very much aware of efforts on FMCT during J18 negotiations. That a proper strategy was not factored in, a...

Some home truths & insight into the energy requirements and energy mix for India in the coming decades.. Debunks J18 contribution to energy requirements snake oil being peddled.

Against a peak demand of 104,000 megawatts last month, supply was 90,000 megawatts. That's a shortfall of 14 percent.

Interesting tidbit, do we know if this is after T&D losses? India's T&D losses are still in the range of 30-35%, one of the highest in the world.

Now a A3-D2 with only 2 stage has lesser propulsion thus lesser range (4850Km), but then a fully load 3 stage 47.3 tonne chariot will deliver 1.5 tonne across much greater range than 5,500Km on that chart.
How does 8,000 Km sound?

SRDE Yindoo has big danda.

Arun, aapke muhan mein ghee sakkar.

Disha, Thanks for the clarification.. However, we prob can not expect the enemy to give away such vital info during pre-bombing flight, when all the aircrafts are of the same type & have same RCS profile. After all, what stops them to have them fly at the same altitide and let the bombers dive f...

ShibaPJ

Vivek, Awesome as always.. I would say, you have raised the bar substantially. Their four fighter escorts were flying above them, and were visible on Indian radar as such... The Indian Group Commander had already determined them as escorts and thus not dangerous even if they came directly above the ...

vivek_ahuja,

I was a late entrant to your scenarios, but since then, it has been a wonderful read. Your scenarios have been superb, very well-written.. All the best. keep it coming, maan..

Can the weight difference of ~2.5 to 3 tons be ascribed to a new, denser fuel type? (Unless a much higher payload was tested, of course).

Rishirishi, Agni is the name given to a series of missiles, which covers the entire spectrum from IRBMs to ICBMs and anything that falls inbtn. All of them are for deterrence purposes against various threats. I don't understand this subservient attitude of not having an ICBM, because it covers US, E...

Great news.. Truly marvellous achievement by our scientists.. Congrats. The BRF discussion on the range is a bit bewildering.. So many different ranges attributed to so many different sources is pure FUD (as NR would say). As Arun has often pointed out, some latest generation ICBMs (Topol, French M-...

Arun_S,
Great... Now, when Admiral Rakesh starts the still pending mithai distribution, we would ask him to start from a certain cave in KhyberDurra

ShibaPJ

Great news.. Congrats, Jagan.

A very good article on emerging dynamics in global energy security. India surveys the energy war Time stood still in the Indian strategic thinking in the post-Soviet era. And when last week Russian President Vladimir Putin articulated on the tensions that have come to prevail in the international sy...

ShibaPJ

well nothing prevents us but the question is what about US ? Can they do it like by using radar onboard SH & F-16 to gather info on all other aircrafts there ? It is always done and they would have already done in other shows. Any aviation power worth it's name would be doing that, including us...

ShibaPJ

Folks, The interceptor should be the actual one. Pls remember that it was launched from Wheeler Island and not ITR. ITR is a big site and I have seen the A-x series launchers there. I was told that as the Prithivi series launchers were smaller, they could be launched from many different places. Of c...

NB,

Yes, it is the same one, but much clearer.. If you don't get it soon, let us know, & some of the early birds would pass on the scans

Austin,

Received your email. Much thanks... It looks so majestic. It also puts to rest if it is some old image. It has 'pad01' printed over it (Unless some soul comes up with this being PS and all)

Anoop, Very good rebuttal and evidence. I hvn't read the book, but from the paras you put in there, it certainly was Major Haunted Eye's recollection..

Of course, this would have meant a full-blown war, but a one-time surgery is probably less painful than some decades of chemo-therapy and patch-work.

ShibaPJ

You have to look at it in it's entirety. Just to sample, If PAF was hiding, then IAF with air-superiority could have done wonders. Also, IN could have repeated blocked Karachi, damaged Gwadar and could have put Puki economy in a tell-spin. and most importantly, this could have shattered some mythica...

ShibaPJ

Great post, Airavat. I always felt GoI decision of 'not crossing LoC was stupid', but feels much better to hear from the horse's mouth. Yerna, It might not have. It would have led to : 1. Interdiction and severing the Pukis logistics chain 2. Allowed IA/ IAF to deploy their entire war-fighting strat...

Reminds of the Nobel peace prize rumours for ABV during Kargil war.. History repeats itself, but do we learn anything at all?

ShibaPJ

Thank you, RayC for your clarifications. I didn't discuss on anyone willingly overlooking the 'official' policies, because I believe discipline and existing ethos should be respected. Thanks to the inculcated discipline and ethos, we are so different from the Puki scums across the border. Absolutely...

...Did they air these sentiments of wanting to cross the LC to anyone in authority during the battles or even after the ceasefire? Penny for their thoughts and unfortunate that the war terminated too early for them. It would have surely passed on to the powers that be that visited the battlefield f...

The decision to let the Pakistanis retreat back across the LoC was a political one, not a military one. Did anyone claim that this was a military decision? It has been explained by real soldiers on this board that they take pride in upholding their own high values; it is what makes them, them. Ohh,...
