More than any ABM, it is Hali which gives me the reassurance that India is safe. I mean, he actually got promoted to a Group Capt!! That says something about the paucity of original thinkers in their forces

Yeah, I saw that Hali crap in TSP thread. Even by Hali's low standards, this one was a let down Apparently his handlers are asking for more time.

You are back with a scoff!! I thought you were in a "Celebrate while ye may for every action there is a reaction. The silence from Al Qaeda is ominous" mood. Nice! On to bashing the goat shaped pinata

The US will not give any technology to Pakistan concerning ABM. That doesn't mean they can't get it from China however. At any rate, we all know that stuff isn't 400% up and running and capable of hitting the target all of the time, right? That's what all the liberal cry babies have been saying abo...

US giving Patriots is troublesome, for more than any missiles, MKIs have to deal with them Post-Kargil, the conventional forces seems to be the only thing that keeps the idiots of PA in their barracks. And US has shown no inclination to think before approving AMRAAMs, conventional JDAMS etc.

Inshallah if our Agni III is ready then we will have a range of 5,000 kms," he said.[/b] He said that it was not important whether the country has one to one match for every missile. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Did he actually use "Inshallah" ? I am liking this good Doc and his t...

i dont think anyone in the west really assumed that the pak army could hold itself against a conventional assault from India... 71 was too strategically conclusive As pious Gen Aziz would say in inner-madarassa gangsta "Mee homeejj PrianC and EricM aint cool with dat" Not to mention "...

All this talk about the evaporation of the 'Kidwai' line is getting me worked up. Can't wait for the next bit of military maneouvers in the desert. Oohhhh. The line is only fading - we still have a long way to go before it can be totally erased. But it does address the "Western constituency&qu...

Thanks SunilUpa. That does answer a lot of questions about the interceptor's dimensions.

But what was that Thapar doode's constipated end line about usability of the system?

I can tell ou one thing of RM. I have known him. He is 100% honest, and his integrity and patritotism is beyond reproach. He is not like the run of the mill kangrease politicians. btw, that comment of mine was purely blowing a "tongue firmly in cheek" response at Tanaji's broad brush stro...

Yep, as I mentioned above, it is the "Kidwai line" that is suddenly starting to fade.

The nose cone has to be there with the KV as it contains the radar seeker etc. Separating that would expose it to aero forces. That is an interesting point. The PSLV/GSLV heat shield is discarded at about 100kms. Wonder if the PAD kill vehicle's shields are ever discarded at just 50kms? Also intere...

1. announce that kashmir, kerala , west bengal are Dar -ul Islam and promise not to attack them if the leaders would "persuade" Indians to accept his terms :evil: So it is Sheikh Anthony who is the RM? Anyways, dont worry we are already getting trained at Nagercoil/Coimbatore/Mangalore as...

{ Interpretation error } I am and my whole family is an Indian I would never generalize such thing, even unconciously. Good you put that "Interpretation error" message on top, I got confused by your logic stream "Armed forces are liars", "DRDO are liars" etc. And then ...

About local development of Strategic systems, what about the COTS content? Wont that compromise its reliability? Doesnt a lot of the processing done using COTS processors?

AoA!! Dr Saraswat can stop biting his nails and sleep again (during office hours at DRDO, of course)

Funny thing folks: But the degree of interest in this test in some places is astonishing - staggering in fact. "Staggering" because it's been suggested that the Yindoos have again blindsided the all-knowing, all-wise folk again and is being compared to Pok II ! Yes, one sees a lot of unea...

And dont forget Dr APJ's re-election is coming up. In the buildup towards that, the Indian Left needs something icky to tar him with and reduce his popularlity. This is a much more planned attempt than last time (remember Praful Bidwai's nonsense about "egenics" etc in Frontline?).

Shiv Aroor and Amitav Ranjan are two chaps who sounded goofy - DRDO dint even bother to refute or confirm the drivel that was fed to these worthies. Reason being DRDO never was intended to market their output by wining and dining these journalistic bottom feeders. And as gurus here have pointed out ...

1. Indian leaders are afraid of retialiation. 2. Indian leaders are afraid of personally being targeted inspite of cowering behind Z+ layers of security. ALL leaders the world over are scared of retaliation and personal well-being, ever since professional military generals took over the task of per...

I do not know why nuking Tirupati is causing so much debate - Tirupati is a part of our land and is as valuable and sacred to us as any other square inch of India including POK. Gen Padmanabhan, during Operation Parakram days talked about how any usage of nukes against any Indian soldier anywhere wi...

This discussion is interesting. Those "humble villager fellows", if they had gone back as part of the down-skill skiers group that Nawaz Sharief rescued (after pushing aside Monica Lewinsky's head :wink: ), they would have lied about 100s of Indian soldiers they mowed down with a Peeka and...

Good enough. During Hu's "Joint Session", can you ask him to stand next to the Honourable Speaker?
