Can you please stop dragging us into this? You always drag us into topics that are of least relevance to Indian issues here. Please stick to the topic.

It is the one thing that your PM Imran Khan could do first. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't PIA under the Department of Aviation under the Prime Minister's Office? This mean your PM is the boss of the department and can actually initiate the restructuring faster than the time we took to get...

Soros is the worst thing that has happened to the developing world. I used to be one of those people who thought of the rumours about him to be conspiracy theories, but after seeing his funds do untold damage to the world, I realize the mess he's pushing the planet into. As people age, they...

Our biggest problem is that most of the government money is spent on useless and ineffectively-designed public "welfare" schemes instead of future technologies. This is because politicians want to make money and stick to their chairs. Sadly, the government cannot take a hard political stance...

The Army badly needs APCs and IFVs as well. WhAP is still being trialled after 5+ years. This slow burner approach of our babus is extremely disgusting. Unless we tie Army's budget with any and all development projects, they will keep scuttling domestic projects for imports due to $$$ for...

LCH? What do you want a high-altitude CAS gunship to do in a tropical island setting? Sometimes I do wish that there is a bigger skirmish as it would compel the bureaucrats to stop scuttling good projects for international arms lobby kickbacks.

IN is not known for agreeing with the IAF, my friend. Going by their past decisions, chances are that they would take F/A-18SH :lol:

Huge defence budget? It is extremely modest, I'd say much lower than expected. There is just way too much non-capital expenditure, i.e., a lot of spending on wasteful stuff like maintaining facilities for senior commanders. Given that we have a lot of archaic equipment to replace, this should...

Apple and morality don't go well together in the same sentence. While they may cite that officially, there has to be a way they are able to generate so much revenue rather than just Apple services, tablets and smartphones.

Mostly because their oil and gas dependency is not on Russia but a mix between Scottish and Norwegian sources. Given the the Brits are firmly in the American camp (more than Americans themselves), they can afford to go to the front. However, France & Germany cannot end up being American lackeys...

Very much possible. Japan has a very low rate of attrition of air assets (assuming they post every loss publicly). Chances of human errors in highly mountainous and open oceanic regions go up which could be due to a combination of human factors, climatic conditions & equipment challenges. This...

Does Apple have any subsidiaries operating in the defense sector? I have heard that Google is heavily involved in the AI projects concerning robotics and heavy weapons platforms. What about Apple?

Well, Busines 101 is to understand its customers' requirements and sensitivities. Shareholders will mean squat if it is banned from a market and loses the revenue stream from that country. While NF is free to make whatever it wants in the Western society for the western audience, the same...

Is that the only comment you can throw around here? It's 2022, bud. Come up with something better than that.

NETFLIX has this way of annoying and offending local communities just to create controversy to gain attention. This is going to backfire them in a major way. There can be a way of gaining popularity without hurting the native culture and traditions of a country. They have done similar things in...

They have combat experience across various theatres. Their constant deployment across the world with their American counterparts has given them an excellent experience. The point is not their willingness to fight but their ability to sustain. Russia is not a pushover even if they have a smaller...

You have a good sense of humor, bud. Keep it up. In a democracy, people have different opinions. Doesn't mean that every single person holds the official position. I don't think you understand the concept well.

You might need to update your research well. We don't sell too much but it's a start. Unless Google is banned in your area, feel free to use it rather than try to flamebait others. Such an attitude is stale and immature in 2022.

Russia has a fair point. There was a point in time when they even wanted to join NATO (both as USSR after WW2 and later as the Russia of the 90s). Both the times, they were rejected with flimsy reasons. The assurance was given that with the dissolution of Soviet Union, there won't be a NATO...

Why is it that every time an Allied naval comes to the region, it always ends up with some disaster or tragedy? Very strange.
