Ok fair enough. Read the COAS claim. ( he doesnt seem to understand the Buck stops here when) "He (Ved Prakash Malik) blames the field commanders for their failure to obtain and report the developments across the LOC, and surveillance and patrolling of the gaps between the posts. Their assessme...

OPED Surprised at Kargil There was a command failure as well by Lt Gen (retd) Harwant Singh F C. Fuller, a well known military historian, records, “he, if he wishes to understand war, must examine the nature of surprise in its thousand and one forms as it pursued its relentless course throughout h...

here UR-500, with six strap on rocket motors but with single combustion chamber.

Unlike GSLV which had strap on motors with individual (rockets) combustion chambers

pardon my simplistic analysis ... if one "strap-on" rocket failure causes a deviation of 10 degrees in a parametr space where 4 degrees is acceptable, the obvious answer is to increase the number of strap-on rockets ... for example, consider 8 instead of 4 ... if one out of eight fails, t...

A MiG-25 pilot told me several years ago (in 1991 I think) that the top edge of the air intake next to the cockpit glows red at high speed.

I am also told if you fill up SR-71 on the runway it reeks oil leaks (just like Yezdi/Jawa Gear box)

As far as HEU and a terrorist attack on India goes, I think its unlikely that India would be entirely dependent on the US to confirm the Pakistani origins of the materials. There are enough credible sources that India took its own environmental samples from the Kahuta enrichment programme to sugges...

If India wants US interests to be in alignment with Indian interests, India has to be able to make a broad and deep connection with US interests around economic, security and geo-political interests.

Titanium is notoriously hard to machine and shape though. Hence, the Soviets opted for steel alloy for the Mig-25's airframe -- apparently the forming method they used for larger sheets of titanium produced rather brittle plates, so they went with good old nickel steel.

Folks did you note that 7 months prior to Kargil, when the air patrols stopped was the month of October 1998 when Mushy took over as Chief of Army Staff for th RATs replacing J Kramat. This was right after the airstrikes on Taleban camps when a whole bunch of TSP terrorists got hit. What was Mushy'...
