Talking about Ukrainian Sea drone attacks, I noticed the IN uses the RBS 60 anti Submarine rocket, in addition to Barak 1 plus CIWS. Whereas the Russians have the Shitil plus Ciws, both of which struggle against these drone coming low height boats. I guess if the Russians install the RBS 60 on thie...

If i am not wrong the proposal to include the armed services into the strategic planning and design with in the DRDO was a proposal that was resisted by DRDO itself.. wont it at least help in formulating at least realistic GSQRs ?

Indonesia, being one of the largest economies is understandable. It's a well educated population, with moderate Islamic leanings. So if, it continues with the current trends, no reason why it should not become one of larger economies in future. Pakistan, nice joke. What do they have, or will have th...

The uniforms are the गधा मजदूरी or donkey labor in the hierarchy of the ecosystem. To lay everything at their door is unfair. The way that things are set up, the uniforms can be over ruled, at any time, by any one in the food chain. The uniforms are responsible for designing the GSQR. They're respo...

Fair enough. But is a comparison that took place 10 or 20 or 30 years ago still a valid point of reference? Or the RFQ being designed in such a way that only a specific imported system is suitable for the requirements. A valid way of doing business. We know how the army has effed up Arjun program. W...

You can also add a requirement of gun elevation to be howitzer class. Boom. You have covered the tracked artillery requirement as well. Truly multirole.

The Belgians have a 105 mm turret doing just that. Don't give these people any new ideas.

So, one interesting question from the Swarajyamag article: what is the point of the 4th crew member if you are requiring an autoloader ? The Germans have released the concept of a 130 mm gun tank with an autoloader and optional 4th crew to manage drones. But that vehicle limits main gun ammunition ...

Bala, Nehru is deserving of a lot of criticism. But not on this matter. The offer to India of Security council seat in place of Chuna is a fiction.

The current P5 are the so call allied nations of the WW2. That's why both UK and France have the veto. That's also the reason why India will never gain a veto seat on the security council. The UN is a failure. It's in the Indian interests to ensure that the PRC efforts to completely upend the global...

Don't you think, that this decision should become relevant once the vehicle has been designed by the Indian vendor and is approaching the end of user testing.

WRT, the weight of the tank. The new concept vehicles presented by both the Americans and the Germans are both under 60 tons. One has space for a crew of 4 and the other has a 3 manned crew. So it's possible to do what the Indian army is asking for. But I have no confidence in the Indian Army's abil...

I have a bad feeling about this election.

What is the opposition doing. The "Farmers", are doing their best to trigger a violent response from the state. But what exactly are the opposition doing?

This is a long term plan to reduce the white population by compelling / councelling them to seek assisted suicide.

Financial saving, if any, is a net bonus.
