So you sealed the deal by accepting the carrot part of the time tested 'carrot and stick policy'. Welcome to the club and be ready for the stick part level 2.

Well, it is very much plausible that the option for the extra two frigates in the original contract is taken and the frigates are then constructed in Pakistan. Our shipyard though has its hands full with the ongoing projects for the next 5-6 years atleast if not more. There might still be some...

It's my personal opinion and I might be wrong, but with the Chinese, financing has never been a challenge for us. That was one of the reasons everyone got on their toes when we started this big item chinese buying spree; 8 subs, 4 Type 54's, HQ-16's, HQ-9's, VT-4's, and now hearing about J-10's...

Yes, the initial order included a provision of ordering 2 more without a change in contract terms. But signing a separate contract for additional ships shouldn't be a problem either I guess.

Unbelievable pace at which Chinese roll out ships. Not taking anything away from their expertise, since so many Type 054As have been rolled out, the production process seems to have smoothened alot. I personally think before the Type 054A production stops, it would make sense to place an order...

So it basically signals that the S-400 batteries deployed on the Indian side of Punjab could be taken out from almost anywhere within our borders. Gives a hell lot of flexibility and surprise element to us. Taking off from outside the 600 km radar range and cruising at tree top heights (terrain...

For example.

Blaming a past government 3 years ago is nothing more than a blip considering Modi and RSS are still blaming 100-year old policies of Gandhi, 300-years old British occupation and 1000-year old conquests for all the evils in the lala-land.

Well, the crown jewel of S-400 is the 400km range 40N6E missile. Without 40N6E, the S-400 is at best comparable to the HQ-9P (most probably the HQ-9C) with publicly stated interception range of 260km (ofcourse 100+ km as per PA). The 40N6E has only been up until recently arming the Russian...

Funny is, how on one hand India claims strong historic ties with Central Asia and on the other hand keeps weeping about the the emperors from Timur to Babur to Aurangzeb who all originated from Timurid and Mughal empires and were characteristically central Asian! And most epic is that the abuse...

With the export variant HQ-9BE has an interception range of 260km, a publicised 100km+ range of our HQ-9P is honestly a bit humble on our side. The '+' here is really meaningful and could result in many more Abhi-none-dones in the years to come.

India first must help itself break out of the habit of open defacation.

Just for a change, some of the better technical analysis involving this beast against the indian navy frigates I came across. The video compares the Tughril class with similarly sized indian frigates. Summarizing, as per the technical analysis in the video, and comparing the on-board sensors...

Well, the IAF chopper was indeed the ONLY thing that was taken down by your air defence on 27th Feb. Now whether your air defence personnel were incompetent, idiots, unskilled (or all) or the Spyder system was spoofed by the PAF, you can surely hope that wouldn't happen next time.

Hope the S-400 doesn't end up taking down own assets like Spyder did on 27 Feb.

The level of shamelessness of this artificially glued-union always exceeds my expectations.

Let's see if these jets can get the Depsang and recently lost areas back for the supa powa.

A never ending BS. What happened to the SU-30 MKI's that used to scare enemies before it lost its crown to the Rafales and now to S-400?

LOL to the eligibility criteria of getting the Vir Chakra.

"She said the Biden administration has decided, bureaucratically inside the State Department, to separate India from five other South Asian countries to deepen US relationships with them, and there will be devoted officials for that purpose". LOL. US originally planned to have India as the...
