@RiazHaq has a lot of qualities, but jealousy is probably the least of his concerns. Most people here wont know him much beyond his occasional self promotion. But this guy has made trolling and baiting into an actual career. This is a guy who has essentially made an entire career out of...

You can calculate that. BrahMos doesn't fly at Mach 5, it's actually slower than it's parent at 2.8 Mach. The speed was sacrificed for maneuverability. rahMos is capable of sustained 40G-50G radial acceleration. I'm not aware of the instantaneous acceleration values but 70G should be a...

Lots of errors in one post. Almost every single word is wrong. Wow that must take some effort to be this wrong on so many levels. First, streakers were high speed straight line strike missiles designed to fly fast, fly high, fly straight at the Target vessel and use it's raw speed to avoid...

Been associated with this site since around 2007. Back when webmaster used to participate in discussions, back when moderators would invite others to correct their views and back when 90% of the topics were concentrated on defense topics, with a very high proportion of versus comparisons...

Asia will be a radioactive wasteland long before this becomes anywhere remotely close to reality. Pakistanis have this weird, baffling assumption matrix: 1. If Pakistan is on the verge of losing, it will not hesitate to go nuclear and end India, even if it effectively means national harakiri...

We are a nation of glowing subservience to incompetence. A nation of cowards packed to the brim. We deserve the pusillanimous govt we have. We are that big a coward. And it's beginning to have an effect on the rest non cowards too. A few of my friends, the tier A of talent in India, from the...

Here's the deal, Even at 20% consumption, certain areas of Pakistan will become irreversibly unusable. Given water stress in Pakistan, every decimal.of a percent is vital. Make.no mistake, this will be a death sentence to a few hundred thousand peasants and cattle. It's a reality not many...

Unlikely to be rogue elements. Moving and preparing 350 kgs worth of explosives would have required a crew of 10-12 and excellent coordination amongst OGWs to avoid detection of build up. The entire network would have to be activated. My theory: Someone leaked intelligence of a massive CRPF...

If the idea was to force India to negotiating table, I guess the planners never took the time to look at Indian responses to terror. India might be useless in everything of consequence, wrt to retaliation, but one area it is unmatched is the glacial nature of response: painfully slow, absolutely...

For a change, he is absolutely right. I think most Indians are coming to this realization as well. The idea that there can be any negotiation or debate or negotiated settlement or negotiated peace with a radicalized valley in bonkers, suicidal. The idea that general violence can be avoided by...

It's just childish glee of the OP at work. So happy that they're trying to find new ways to taunt us. Relax and enjoy the glee.....very few happy days available to them anyways. As for the Kashmiris, if what we are hearing is true, heck, even if 10% is true, absolute darkness is about to...

I think we as Indians have to accept the reality that Kashmir is moving inexorably towards total civil war. Kashmiris have decided, for better or worse, that they accept nothing short of total war. And it is a position that will not change until victory, or absolute destruction of the state and...

This is what Indian posters are subjected to, on a daily, relentless basis, in nearly every thread and condoned, if not outright encouraged by a substantial section of the upper echelons here. This was the case even before the massive influx of Indian trolls from around 2014-15. For a long...

I guess your list maps the outline of the problem here in PDF. Too few good, knowledgeable members left, especially from Indian side, but also nearly a similar decline from Pakistani side. I remember the discussions around 2006-11, the sheer technical and strategy focused discussions amongst...

Does it matter in the least? The only outcome has been hardening of Indian stand vis a vis Kashmiris. And intensification of combat operations against militants. Earlier, IA and security forces would pull back and let mlitants flee to avoid civilian casualties, so as not to anger Indian's in...
