These are panic buttons being pressed right now by the IAF to force the MoD's hand in the MMRCA deal. It's one of the very few ways IAF has of shocking the government to action as far as the MMRCA deal is concerned; the downside being the government might actually put a deadline to Dassault and...

You see, in this world, only the idiots are truly equal, for they are all 'idiots'. It doesn't matter what the idiots' nationality is, what their race is, what their religion, their caste. creed, location, age etc etc is; at the end of the day, they are idiots. But that should also make it...

Your news must be the censored version. According to my sources, 34 divisions of Waffen-RSS have been rushed to Kashmir per the orders of the Fuhrer Modi . Their orders are to drag the locals to the voting centers to vote in the elections. Should they refuse, they are sent to concentration...

There is no hypocrisy here. That decision was as per our apprehensions at that time, right or wrong they maybe in hindsight. From AFP & WSJ: Pakistan wanted Kasab to testify in its own inquiry into the attacks, according to AFP. However, he is not on the list of witnesses to be cross-examined...

Yes we are desperate, for we have borne witness to his spectacle of blood and death. We are desperate for we know that he is a rabid dog of extremism, and like all rabid dogs anywhere, he has no hope for salvation. He must be put down, and till that happens he will only infect and corrupt more...

The reason the Pakistani courts behave the way they do is that they aren't free or impartial in the first place. But before I get lynched for this, let me clarify what I mean by that. Fairness of the judicial system is contingent on the freedom allowed to the judiciary. Usually these words...

The psychology of extremism is an enigma, almost as much as the blind worship of the President in North Korea. There is almost no justifiable rationale for either, and yet, they do. But that aside, the comment about holding guns to each other's heads is a gross an underestimate. We are both...

There has been this uncomfortable sense of foreboding within the intelligence and civil services community in India for some months now. Thankfully, nothing that brutal in nature has transpired till now. (We survived a potential hostage drama at the Indian Embassy in Kabul by the skin of our...

Well, Another victory for JUD and Hafiz Saeed, Zaki Ur Rahman Lakhvi is now on bail in Pakistan. I guess Indian blood really is cheaper as far as Pakistanis are concerned. I guess we will have to accept it.

Those fins, or diving planes or hydroplanes, are control surfaces found on subs which allow the vessel to pitch its bow and stern up or down to assist in the process of submerging or surfacing the boat, as well as controlling depth when submerged. They aren't used for changing the direction in...

Exactly. Those were my exact words, and despite repeated perusal of that text, I fail to find any mention of AJK, or P0K, or for that matter any talk of us going for a "hot pursuit" anywhere inside territory administered by Pak. So why lie when you know you can't back it up? Pretty pathetic...

Siachin lays above the LOC, and you know it. No use lying Sir. And you can laugh about the sanctity of the LOC, the entire world, including the USA and China sure agreed with us in Kargil. I can post their exact comments if you like. We could've massed the Army group Centre alongside your...

It changes quite a lot. India has always considered sovereignty of a country inviolable, and has acted consistently with that stance (The other inviolable is the sanctity of the LOC). It is one of the main restrictions, or risks in our strategic calculus. By launching a hot pursuit into Afg...

So aside from your gibberish, you still managed to evade the gist of my words. Ignoring the obsession with balls, our strategic calculus was that it's not worth the risk of conducting such a raid. If PA had conducted anything similar to that, it wouldn't have to face the humiliation of...

Perhaps it's gibberish, perhaps its not, you're the Think Tank, not me. It doesn't matter who popularized it, the law of precedence is based on who did it. But beside that, balls is itself subjective to long term strategic aims, not a flush of adrenaline pumped idiocy. We chose not to do it...

The moment Pakistan puts them into 'practical use', it will have opened up a can of worms Pakistan will come to regret. It will set a very dangerous precedence for Pakistan. As far as India is concerned, There is no way we are going to stop you from committing your "hot pursuit', for the next...

This is one of those projects that should've been cleared last year at the latest. I believe the Russians have been offering it since 2009-10(?). But let's ignore the delays for the moment and focus on this sub. There appears to be a certain degree of confirmation that this sub won't be the...

Arihant is almost definitely made from low magnetic steel. Usage of titanium for the entire hull would be an unnecessary expenditure of time and resources for the ATV project. The Subs that have been titanium hulled have had very narrow operational roles; either very deep diving capability...

The hint about VIF is well taken. But to their credit, their stance has always been unshakable about this issue, not the wild groping in the dark style shown by the previous administration. But as far as the 'Indian Establishment' is concerned, you may have been misled by the change in...

A Pakistani General wouldn't be too concerned with rhetoric streaming from this side of the Wagah border. What he would and should be worried about is the colossal,relentless build up of intelligence capability by the IB, RAW and a host of other intelligence agencies inside Pakistan since 26/11...
