What is the probability of such events happening in India?

I saw a tweet from Vijainder Thakur claiming that. BTW Kolkata class itself displaces 8100T ( saw a commander saying that to a news crew), I'd assume Vizag class will be around the same. Wikipedia says : 7,400 t (7,300 long tons; 8,200 short tons) full load[ Same for both Kolkata & Vishakhapat...

There will be teething issues, and govt will learn as we go along. I do believe we may some changes to the structure going forward.

Any chance that new company that acquires AI now will increase its fleet size? Spicejet placed orders for its fleet, if we buy from same vendor, may be that will be good incentive for Boeing to setup a manufacturing plant in India.

^^ Oh really? Last I checked Cheen adds value to basic products from its neighboring countries such as Taiwan. There are not many things that Cheen give us that are of state of the art technology. And we are talking about simple products such as toys, bells, etc. Our products had reliability and lon...

It’s time India used its most powerful weapon against China: Trade-Brahma Chellaney From the article: Modi, for example, has allowed China’s trade surplus with India to double on his watch to almost $60 billion. Many people have been saying this repeatedly, we need to put a check on the trade with ...

As a protectorate of Bhutan, we should station our troops there, a thousand or so should send the message. A pair or so of MKIs deliberately flying high so that cheen can get a message.

^^^^ That’s just a hit piece on Metros and pushing BRT systems in India which have demonstrably not worked. The only really criticism seems to be look at all the traffic disturbance during Lucknow construction. Ergo BRT is cheaper. The real world is not that simple. Even though people can’t see it ...

Pigeon rightly said in a conf, best way to tacke cheen is through missiles, need to mass produce nirbhays, brahmos, all SAM varieties like sausages as Soviets said once. Plenty of missiles to cover 1500 km from our borders, deny them space to land, road to travel, place to store. And one of their ma...

Construction of phase 1 of the Mumbai coastal road will start this Oct, after the monsoon season. It's 9.5 along with some land reclamation. Let's see how long it takes. We really need to compare the Chinese speed and ours. Just the civil engineering part, i.e. with all the necessary permission, fun...

There was a talk of having grid like highway network like in US. Gadkari claims so many KMs per day, but only when google map gives 100Km/hr as average speed as in most western countries, I'd not consider that we have a great highway network. Almost all location still take average speed of 50km/hr.

India is totally defanged @ 110 How I've been wishing that NCC be a mandatory part of school curriculum of select schools and that students need to earn C certificate (there are A, B and C) to qualify for their man exams.

IMO, "getting" SS (who is wheelchair-bound) or the LET sultan Haffez Saeed is not work risking Indian lives. Their presence, live and "safe' is worth much more, as India conducts "SS", purportedly in search of them, but sweeping up a lot of their assistants. Like killing/ca...

Is there a way we can try to get a naval base and an airstrip in Northern Viet? It's 300 km from hainan islands and 650 km from HK as a counter measure to Cheen's Bhutan highway strategy.

IMO, Like any other country's media, the US media covers topics that are least common denominator to individual news channels' target market. Therefore, India and Indian PM may not be of much interest to an average person in the US. But that's not the case with US corporations that are the primary i...
