It's an absolute delight to see the unrestricted knowledge ooze out of the "Think Tanks" on this thread. With all due sincerity, please do accept my humble gratitude. But for those of us vegetarian blackey yindoo baniyas who can't grasp their knowledge, This might help: Firstly, it's not...

The British QE was, atleast for a period of time, a subject of interest for the IN. Not so coincidentally, this was also the period when the rumors of INS Vishal became prominent amongst defense enthusiasts, which is more or less why the INS Vishal is assumed to be similar to the QE...

Quite surprising for an article that reads "Kashmir: A way forward". You'd expect forward thinking, cogent arguments, instead you get a text saddled with regressive statements that have been repeated ad infinitum since independence, statements that became obsolete 40 years back. On one hand he...

Designated AN/AAQ-37, the EO DAS is comprised of six infrared sensors, flush-mounted around the aircraft to afford 360-degree, spherical coverage — in mathematical terms "4 pi steradian." The sensor array will provide the F-35 pilot with missile-warning, situational awareness and navigation...

Untrue, the DAS is reportedly capable of tracking a Ballistic missile/rocket's burn from 800 miles. There is considerable difference between a BM and a normal AAM. The motor and exhaust temperatures of a BM/rocket can reach 3500K, rendering it easy for an ordinary FLIR system to track it at...

This is one of the situations where the security agencies have shown remarkable exigency, a refreshing change for a nation saddled with lethargy in each and every step. However I'd like to sound a note of caution on this one. This vigilance against violent extremism must be tempered with a...

Nope, what you are talking is conjecture intertwined with biased opinions, not facts. Facts would be official data from both Sukhoi/Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design and the designers of KLJ-7, which we both know is not forthcoming anytime soon. The next point is the...

Well, You may not know it, but there indeed exists such a thing called reappraisal, an exercise usually conducted in light of new developments or as is often the case, in light of past experiences. What you are suggesting is exactly, and I cannot emphasize this enough, the exact same strategy...

The numbers you have and the other members have stated are actually the numbers of missiles mounted on the launchers, i.e. the number of missiles kept in ready to fire mode. In addition to these missiles, a significant number of them are carried as reloads by trucks which form an integral part...

Well, Ahem, Actually, this article is by Reuters, and the writer is one Mehreen Zahra-Malik, who is a Pakistani. You didn't even read the first word, like literally, the first word after the heading....... But of course if you're going to declare Reuters a propaganda mouthpiece of GOI and the...

A lot of speculation has been flying around in this thread. But fear not, the ancient arch-enemy of human, Didact is here to put those questions to rest: First up, you do not move and dump 46 tanks into the (non)literal definition of nowhere. Tanks without supporting assets tend to be pacifist...

I have had this argument with a very knowledgeable individual on another forum as to the existence of sniper school in India, and he has pretty much flatly laid out that no such school exists. Given his knowledge and his credibility, I would still stick with his opinion.

Well, he is most certainly not in India, and given the warm approach by Saudi Arabia to Indian requests for extradition of Indian nationals, I very much doubt Dawood would risk being intercepted in the Arabian Peninsula. That leaves Malaysia as the last major known hideout for him. Even there we...

Well my list would include a mix of hardware and raising of new formations: For the Navy: 1. Off the shelf purchase of Scorpenes/Amur. 2. Urgent procurements for NMRH, possibly through FMS (if opportunity presents itself) 3. Purchase of Heavy Torpedoes for Sub Fleet. 4. Fleet Replenishment...

There appears to be quite a lot of confusion amongst members about G-Forces. As such I'll try explaining the basics. After that, using those basics I'll answer your question, so please bear with a longish post. Well first up is acceleration. Acceleration is really the rate of change of velocity...

Let me explain our actions in the simplest manner possible. There was once a rich farmer who owned a sprawling farmhouse in the middle of his farmland. In an area known for robberies and encroachment, there'd been no attempts on him or his property. So, a news-reporter decided to interview him...

This is quite a unique article, to say the least. I've never actually had the pleasure of reading such a fragmented, cacophonous, desultory work of literature. For starters, this is the first time I've heard of an R&D organization being called 'HAWKISH'. Next what, Hawkish Human Resources...

What you are suggesting is akin to challenging a gunman to come close and punch you because you don't have a gun.....unfortunately it doesn't work like in the movies. The IN doesn't need to come over to your shores, 300 km is good enough to lay waste to your ports at the moment, and put an end...

There is a lot being talked about the naval economic blockade being imposed by IN over Pakistan, and the subsequent possibility/probability of the endeavour being successful. I'll just provide my understanding of the Naval blockade . The imposition of the naval blockade by the IN will be a...

It's so easy isn't it, just so easy for a Navy to impose sea denial. Well except it's not. Here's why: Firstly, The range of any ground/ship based radar in detecting surface targets is severely limited by the curvature of the Earth. The maximum range at which a radar can detect a ship or any...
