Vajra would be an appropriate name for an SSBN. Vajra is Indra's Thunderbolt weapon.

I once read about former defence secretary Robert McNamara, during World War II, he was an USAF officer, he along with his team revolutionized the USAF logistics chain. After the war when he went back to civilian life, he repeated the same feat in Ford, eventually rising to become it president. He l...

I think all our Ministries and Department need good Agreements and Contracts lawyers, we seem to repeatedly screw-up on terms and conditions.

I guess we didnt see this report earlier of May 14th, 2011 Deal Terms stymied checks on Russian Engine 'Deal terms stymied checks on Russian engine health' The defect was in a sub-system component and not the GSLV per se.

something fishy here!!! Hopefully, they do a non-critical launch and get their act together for the mega satellites lined up.
Do we need GSLV for the Military Satellites or can PSLV do it?

One Paki Anal-ist claims that in 1971, Pakis wanted to fight on but Indians wanted a CEASEFIRE (surrender in Paki speak)... we have heard similar drivel after Kargil too. what gives?!? :rotfl: Pakis were following their Arap biradhers onlee. Don't you know? In 1967, the Araps wanted to fight on, bu...

Shrinivasan

you missed my point.. If we had such a high hand after 1971 Bangladesh war, why didn't we run their nose to the ground and demand all of Jashmir back, or atleast strategically significantly positions, or better wrest it back from them. I have heard that IG gave back certain territories which were ca...

I just don't understand onething, if India considers the whole of Jammu & Kashmir as an "In alienable" part of India, why is negotiating on Siachen glacier which it anyway holds? what is it hoping to gain? If It held such an upper hand in 1965 or 1971, why did they not resolve the whol...

So sad, and they did the same thing in Kargil in 1999. Paki MO does not change and we take it on our face both times.

What we want is the capability to do something ala Normandy!!! The British, for all the logistic support available to them, could not support their forces for more than a day at Dieppe. Massive US support enabled Normandy. So Normandy like capabilities is no joke. Do not underestimate logistics. Th...

Probably worth mentioning here that haji pir was in Indian hands till the last days of the war in 1947 war. It slipped out because of a miscalculation by the Indian commander who had relieved the previous one. Considering of little value in an error of judgement he moved troops around it. I am surp...

I think the facial expressions says it all: The tall TFTA mard ex-TSPA looks constipated after eating all those Marie biskoots. The SDRE on the other hand positively relishes them. SDREs want to drag Paki H&D down, they are demanding "While Pakistan is dragging its feet on providing clear-...
