Hi, I doubt though that Super Hornets would be something that India would buy. Just MHO. Regards, Anoop.

History is just a bunch of recorded lies told by the the powers that were, at the point in time. India has it's history of lies, Pakistan it's own. :cheers: And funny thing is we all fight over it. Regards, Anoop.

IMHO, The times of India is a very loose source of information. I like to call the paper a semi **** tabloid with no journalistic characteristics. Regards, Anoop

Oh I am absolutely for all the discussions. I just wonder how many of us here understand what all it takes for a platform to be called better than another platform!!! Given a platform, I wonder how many of us will even be able to identify where the radars are. I am not trying to prove I know...

Hi Trisonics, I do not claim to be any expert in either defence or in foreign policies. So I could be wrong here but here is what I think is wrong with the whole picture, "if" the troops are indeed there. 1.) As you rightly mentioned, penetration into Kashmir by Taliban...

Hi Agnostic, Before I discuss this further, I do want to tell where I am coming from. 1.) I can believe in troop build up. I wouldn't deny that. 2.) I do not believe Raw is as innocent as some of us Indians think it to be. By the very nature of its existence, it's supposed to...

I think Gromell's main point was that the issue of grounding was due to maintenance issues rather than design flaws. Just trying to remove the thorn of discussion here over which one is better ;) Regards, Anoop

All the troops!!!! Post Parliament attack there was a heavy movement of machinery visible across the nation on railway tracks. No such movement was noticed this year. The Sukhois dance over my head every day at 9 a.m. waking me up with their loud roars, so do the Jaguars at different hours. I do...

Hello Mr. Murad, just wanted to thank you. Have read many posts and your views / replies and have to tell you, it is a pleasure to read your insights. We may have a history of two wars behind us as citizens of two different countries but my objectivity allows me to respect men in uniform...

Awesome thread. Thank you really. :) Regards, Anoop

Every nation has it's own doctrine. The defence of the country is surrounded around that doctrine. US has it's doctrine and Russia it's own. They develop weapons based on those philosophies. Likewise Pakistan has its needs while India has its own needs. So Pakistan has the weapons that it...

Thanks but my point was not on the liquid versus solid fuel. :) I meant, he mentioned "most of the Indian missiles have solid fuel" which is true but we do have a solid fueled missile too. Hence my question... so what? Regards, Anoop.

You mentioned "unlike most of India's arsenal", which is true. But I did not get the point. So what? :) Regards, Anoop

This article looks like someone's product in a hurry to meet a deadline. Makes no sense what so ever. Regards, Anoop.

I thought one was actually launched last month. Or I could be hallucinating ;) I will try to dig up information if I am not hallucinating. Regards, Anoop.

Yes. But aren't we thinking too far ahead :). Regards, Anoop.

Yes. But then two points. 1.) Russia can not be a part of that project at all. So Russia will have to go from Indo-Russian venture. 2.) MTCR has never stopped anything in the past. Only delayed things and also made it what one could call, backdoor marketing. So I think instead of investing...

:) Just the name Brahmos. I would not have answered it so simply but you picked the right answer for me :).. Actually more than that. Anything that is co-worked upon (at least on paper) like Brahmos between India and Russia, can not go for greater than 300 km due to MTCR. It does not matter...

Hi Malay, 1.) We may think it makes no sense to not increase the range (though it does make sense if I look at it in entirety.) but that can not be stated as a fact. The fact remains, there is no official word on it. And that is all I am trying to say. 2.) With my limited...

For your benefit, when I come back after lunch, I will change the Su-30MKI article on wiki to say it is a generation 5 fighter plane. Let's see what wiki does to my contribution then :).. I know it is trustworthy because I contribute to it, not on defence related articles though. On the...
