Re: Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF): News & Discussion
I wonder who was the man who proposed this design. He was truly a visionary. Had his design been accepted, there would have been no separate 'MK-2', TEDBF, ORCA, AMCA drama. His design combines the current 3 aircrafts into one (four if you consider that this design could be used for UCAV also), -- ...

Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020
During Sumdorong Chu time, China was facing 3 very hot borders. Vietnam, Soviet Union and India. Inspite thereof they did Incursions into India. There is also lot of debate what India actually did at that time. But I don't think China came out a winner. From All accounts, Galwan was calculated escal...

India can place emergency order for Radio Frequency (RF) TOW Missiles. Javelin Manportable are also possible orders but they are very costly. RF TOWs are 1/4th the cost of Javelins.
