I don't think so. With Dorkie's popularity, he is a huge asset to not only govt, but India in general. That said, I have several other observations: 1. Rajeev Chandrashekar BJP MP (and co-owner of republic?) might ask Dorkie to go a bit less hyper on Queen madam and Pappu and opposition in general....

According to some posters Pakistan specifically knows the T-90s are tin cans and Arjuns are the real threats therefore they design all bridges to only bear the weight of the ineffective breakdown prone T-90s but weak enough to not bear the weight of ever so slightly heavier but far more lethal Arju...

You should have been more clearer. You made it sound like USSR would continue to treat its soldiers as cannon fodder. So that's on you, not me. The post was clearly about WWII.

And bridges are the weakest point in the chain. Study up on Pakistan's buildup defences and you will see why crossing bridges is still a very important criteria of IA's offensive doctrine.

Given that the T-90s (best of the best) sent to the Tank biathlon couldn't even complete the course, leave alone compete for top 3 positions, 25% is a small price to pay. And the more important weight parameter is ground pressure. Gross weight is used for crossing bridges - bridges don't fail the f...

I work with a MNC and frequently travel across India. In Feb-March, I frequented to Mumbai and Jaipur regularly.

^^^ Possibly it did. But selling the same PPEs at eight times the original cost (Mexico case) will make even Shylock proud. Sure, but that's just economics, not a result of hoarding.

All different types of EVs are expensive today. They will come down in cost, but it will take 3-5 years. Right now, EVs of all kinds are limited in production and sales.

Couldn't agree more. Pure EVs are a California pipe dream, except the pipe was Musk's crack pipe. EV's are not a pipe dream. It isn't just Tesla.
