The vaccination rate must pick up fast or we may be in a pickle come summer season just two and a half months away. In India, as temperatures rise, people spend more time indoors resulting in lower vit D, and with AirConditioning turned on. A combination of these reasons is probably the reason why ...

Jailing any Twitter employees will be counter productive. It will only give material to ultra leftists and like.

Old television series about the Kargil war. Notable for many first person interviews/snippets. Very stilted commentary typical of how english was spoken in that time. There is a 5 min clip of Flt Lt Nachiketa too.

Guys I have been on this forum since '06 days it is sad that some posts on this thread have either come to maligning Sikhs or some portraying them as victims and historical context of their anti-india/anti-hindu stance and justifying how they behave are direct result of this context.

Subsequently, Sikhs *were backstabbed* by the Congress leadership when Congress agreed to a partition that resulted in a loss of vast lands and properties in Punjab. Many other political promises made to Sikhs were broken, some for understandable reasons. The whole ugly scene culminated in the cyni...

We should ask for meteor integration on LCA Mk1 for the extra rafale order. Otherwise, there is only a period of 5 years or so when these extra rafales will matter. By then LCA Mk2/desi rafale will be productionised along with the SFDR Astra 3.

What about alternatives?

About ~$50 million per gun. Not that expensive. I suppose these were chosen for future longer range 'smart rounds' that would increase the effectiveness of the gun in the air defense role.

Soldiers should be given a 'hardened' android phone that does not connect to the google playstore etc. and can only install safe apps.

Malacca is not the only strait connecting the Pacific to the Indian ocean! There are others that can be used - Sunda straits, Lombok straits - as long as the flotilla is supported by tankers.

You can keep rotfl-maoing, but any STOBAR carrier going up against a CATOBAR will likely lose simply because the catobar can see and shoot the stobar long before the stobar can. Against the Varyag and their other stobar, our current carriers have a decent fighting chance. Against their third emals e...

My apologies for suggesting we should invest in our own MIC instead of buying catapults and SHs/Rafale-M etc. That's indeed dhoti-shivering. We should cancel the TEDBF etc and work with Boeing for all of our naval fighter needs because the chini carriers are on their way. I am all for supporting lo...

LCA with an 8.5 meter wingspan fits in Vikramaditya and Vikrant lifts. Rafale has an unfolded wingspan of 11 meters. How about manually folding 1.5meter wingtips for Rafale? That may be possible.

In many cases, Chinese elite are figuratively and literally sleeping with the US elite. A peace or a detente is not completely impossible here!

The navy wants a large carrier because the existing carriers cant hack it against the future Chinese fleet. Nothing works to take on a CBG sailing in blue waters, other than a CBG of your own. If the DF21 concept worked so well, why are the Chinese spending so much money to build up their super carr...

A cbg, at least in theory, can protect itself with anti ballistic missiles. No such luck with subs. Its the ocean equivalent of a heavy armored division. It can defend itself from the air, fight underwater attacks, and outrage/outshoot anything on the surface. Take the carrier out and you are left ...

What if they get lucky and there is a separate peace between them and the US? them and Australia? them and Indonesia? Lose any one of these countries and they get a clean passage to the Indian ocean.

The chopper situation has been fixed to some extent with the romeo order. The subs do have older torpedos, just not the latest ones. They also have missiles (exocets) and klubs. The Barak 8 loadout seems small to us, but IN seems ok with it for now. The IN capex budget is $4 billion an year. What ar...

Conflict is looming in the next 2-4 years is my gut feel.

No no, a fire control solution will be devised using SONAR from 3000km away!

Way to miss the point Philip. That strike range is only against static targets. A barge with Kaliber missiles will have the same range. Unless you have a sensor in the loop, how does the sub know where to shoot? Such a capability can be used to attack land based targets at long range but are useless...

1. Anything underwater has an inherent limitation on how much data it can get. A data rate of 50 baud is extremely high for underwater platforms! Therefore, a question of 'sensor fused' warfare from an underwater system is out of the question. 2. If an SSN is at a particular point in the ocean, just...

Twin engined you mean. The J-11 is a single seater.

Meant a twin engine fighter.. but two seats also add additional costs. They can only afford light weight fighters.

When the Sivalik class/P17 (16.9 meters beam) has two choppers, why will the larger Nilgiri class/P17A (17.8 meters beam) have just one? It makes no sense. Look at the model again, once the rotor blades are folded, two sea kings can fit in that hanger.

sudeepj

J10 is an LCA Mk2 analogue. PAF doesnt have the money to operate a two seat fighter like J11. So its logical that their next acquisition will be the J10 or second hand F16s if they can swing it.

India should consider putting LMT on a blacklist for two-five years if they sell or support F16s for Pak.

The cultural affinity of Taiwan, Sk, Japan towards China is precisely the reason we need to fiddle in the troubles there to keep these 3 against the Chini. Which is why we need to allied to them and along with US, push them to stand against the CCP. Which will in turn create a cyclical reaction.......
