Hell No. It belongs to Somalia........ OhOh, this war will be fought on YouTube ???

No that is a fresh contract under the FMS route with USA; actually the Chinooks are clubbed with the Apaches. These Contracts above are follow-on or add-ons to acquisitions that have already been made.

The Herald (a third-hand one) was my first car too. Bought by three of us Cadets together, the first thing that we did was to take the roof off....... and dump it some place. It had bucket seats and a 'stick on the floor'..... probably both for the first time on an Indian car.

That guy was Surajit Sen; he'd do the 9 p.m. English news (the most important one). I grew up in my teenage years; imitating him :) His sister Lotika Ratnam was AIR's first female news-reader. But the all-time great was Melville de Mellow. And in cricket commentary was A.F.S. Talyarkhan, he...

Let us take a harder look at just one of your proposals... I.E. the one above; in a Conflict Situation that is extremely vulnerable. One re-look at it will tell you where and why. So that is no "magic wand". Otherwise also it has its infirmities; if you are upto date with Pakistan's internal...
