I think after Rajiv Gandhi, no Indian PM has systematically tried to absorb high tech manufacturing in India. He made efforts in Telecom ie CDOT, Fertilizer through L&T, LCA, ALH, Dornier, Arjun, Bofors, HDW, TATRA. He was following China model which China continued but we gave up for cheap impo...

If we intend to waste money on PAKFA then we should at least do deep indigenisation and broad manufacturing. Better to order 300 PAKFA in one go and set up adequate manufacturing, repair, maintenance facilities as well manufacture required spare parts. Piece meal orders only benefits Russia as seen ...

I wonder when HAL will start manufacturing Shakti = Fake JV Ardiden Engine. Inspite of alleged ToT which took place in 2010, there is not even pretext of manufacturing the engine by HAL. At least Brahmos make nice fake sounds about indigenisation. There is not even a casual mention of perhaps an att...

Turkey and USA are acting together to change the nomenclature of ISIS to FSA to save them from Russian bombing. Syria will suffer fate of Yugoslavia.

Long term QE will always be a failure because it freezes economic development by driving up asset prices. The benefit of low interest rates is less than the hike in, say, home prices, which sub dues economic activity. Add the fact that China has access to 1.5 Billion slave labour, western world is g...

Even the GSQRs of IMRH have not been provided inspite of request made in 2009. IMRH Is atleast 15 years away. It's a story of Arjun killed in womb by T-90.

Syria is a very very small pawn in USA Game of thrones. USA is going to control all sides in Middle East and keep GCC as their Bitch for at least next 50 years.

I agree that Fed MUST intervene in short term to prevent any market PANIC induced collapse but Fed should not take over long term economic policy. If stimulus is to delivered then fiscal deficit should be used with approval of legislature.

Gyan

After reading the posts of the experts, it seems that :- Fiscal deficit is Govt borrowing money from the market, banks or the Central Bank by issuing bonds. If borrowings are from market then it will depress liquidity and raise interest rates therefore Fed has to buy bonds by printing money. The bud...

Singha you have brought out an interesting aspect of the matter. Needless to say, it gives important insight over this Civil War. On another issue, the maps being put out on internet tend to show huge interior desert areas under ISIS which seems to suggest that Govt is cornered or restricted to coas...

Why is Syria spending so much resources capturing cities? Can it not just cut off supply routes and let the cities fall? i.e. avoid Stalingrad type trap and go for Mountbatten type, avoid the obstacles type of advance? Also Singha, IRAM are becoming mainstream weapons. Goggle Volcano IRAM or Iran IR...

The main artillery being used in Syria is IRAM. These are improvised rockets short range 1-5km and warheads of 50-500kg. I wonder whether we/Indian military is taking any lessons from Syrian conflict or we are all import import the costliest gold plated sanction prone useless junk.

It seems there is also a Naval Gun FCR which is equivalent ( offshoot?) of ADFCR. If we already deployed L, S, C band radars and are working on three X band radars then it seems we have covered almost full range of radars.

I think massive number of 120 to 240mm Mortars will be cheaper and will do the job adequately. The second thing would be repair and overhaul Syrian existing Airforce assets and bringing them into combat.

What is happening on the front of Australia Group and Wassenaar Group? Have we even applied?

Anybody knows about what is happening on the membership front of Australia Group and Wassenaer Group?

Also this sort of urban fighting is prime candidate for massed 120mm mortar use and somehow rain of mortar shells also seems to be missing.

Syria had a formidable airforce, how much is left and what is it doing?

A query to experts:-

Fiscal deficit is funded by borrowing. But What is the mechanism to decide, how much borrowing will be from market, central banking and how much will be from printing press?

Indira Gandhi wanted to free Balochistan but 1977 put paid to that. Setting up such huge mechanised arm of Indian Army and 1974 was part of plan. About Narismha Rao, he never overtly threatened Pakistan with attack or dismemberment but ran a very effective covert action plan against them.

I think that Nirbhay is suffering from minor niggles while Rustom-2 has very serious problem of extraordinary over shoot in weight. IIRC HAL won a tender to produce 18 Rustom-2 for ₹ 1500 crores in 2012 and now cannot disclaim responsibility.

The ONLY way to retaliate against China is to impose heavy duties on non-essential China Consumer products. Note duties can raised within WTO ceiling to 40%? And can be imposed under anti dumping law, or as safeguard duties and or For National Security Reasons.

Saudi Royal family does not want efficient military or prosperous middle class, as it can be a threat to them. Arabia was used to incubate a militant religion by Bazantian Empire against Persia and USA continues to use Saudi Arabia for the Same purpose.

I don't think there will be any major economic collapse on Global Scale. Ground is already being laid for encouraging Govts to go for higher fiscal deficit. QE is print and lend. FIscal deficit would be print and spend.

I personally think that Rustum-2 is dead in water due to overweight. In order to prevent long delay, we should simultaneously launch Rustom-3 with turboprop engines like Garrett later HTSE variant and Rustom-4 with Turbofan engines like AL-55 and later HTFE. ISRO is working on SSTO, Scramjet, ion en...

It seems that our PGM are:-

IRNSS guided winged Glide bombs 125kg, 1000kg 30km, 1000kg 100km equivalent to SDB, MSOV etc.

JDAM Type kits 250, 500 kg

LGB kits 250kg, 500kg range up to 50 km equivalent to Griffin

IR Guided bombs 500kg equivalent to spice

The missiles that are missing from our R&D line up seem to be a WVR IR Guided AAM, Manpad IR guided SAM and a mid range Air to Ground Missile equivalent to Kh-25,29,38 or Maverick or Israeli MARS.
