Just an India Russia Bhai Bhai event where our folks had a good time. I dont think the Russians would allow Indians to sell anything in their marketplace. Other than brochures and videos, nothing else was probably taken. Check out honourable RM's photo in flight suit for Aero India 2021 poster.

In the Nitin Gokhale interview, AVM Subramanian (R) says that the Chinese seem much more comfortable with "soft-kills" at worst i.e. cyber attacks, info wars, maybe satellite kills, and are reluctant to get into a no-holds barred fight. It doesn't sit well with the image the CCP wants to ...

IMO the the Tejas and Jaguar bombs do not look like HDSL, they appear very blunt with lower L/W ratio. HSLD is a family of bombs in two variants - 500 lbs (225 kg) and 1000 lbs (450 kg). Both variants are placed next to the MiG-21Bis exhibit at Defexpo 2020 at Lucknow. You can see the blunt with lo...
