Please take a look at the undermentioned thread, and see how one titled member started trolling and then negatively rating us who called him on it. Only one person deserves a negative there, and that's him. This is the first time I'm bringing this issue up. I guess I have too much time on my...

@WebMaster @waz @Horus : See the negative ratings on this thread by the only person making low quality troll posts? This is what happens when you give power to those too immature to know what to do with it.

On topic, I think the reporter is mistaken that the Tejas will fire Raytheon's Griffin. I think it is probably the Israeli IAI Griffin, which is a bomb, not a missile, and is already widely operational in the IAF. To the best of my knowledge, Raytheon's Griffin has not been exported. Griffin...

http://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/in-a-first-a-woman-officer-leads-indian-army-contingent-at-multi-national-military-exercises/ Lt Col Sophia Qureshi is the only woman leader among the 17 teams. Arul Horizon She does not talk much and even her answers to any questions are short...

The security forces live there too. And they have the resources and determination to hunt for and kill any attackers, no matter which mountain they run up. "Heavier price" is not so easy to calculate. Even on the face of it, the number of militants killed has been far more than the number of...

Maybe you forgot what our carrier did to East Pakistan in the last war. Chittagong harbor was destroyed, along with the entire eastern fleet of the Pak navy, and "not a single vessel could be out to sea" by Pakistan, as the communique sent to New Delhi affirmed. But that is besides the point...

How about Muslims and Hindus living together in one country, has that possibility ever occurred to you? You know, instead of classifying real estate as "Muslim lands" or "Hindu lands", simply live together and practice your religion? I know that sounds like a ridiculous concept to you, but...

Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain's Blog : Encounters in J&K: Reiteration of the 'Last Mile Philosophy' High intensity encounters between the Security Forces (SF) and the sponsored terrorists from Pakistan continue in the Valley with a degree of regularity, not as frequent as in the past but worrisome...

Oh you have no idea, dear. The number of good people working in the civil administration that have been killed by insurgents is shocking. It was a favoured method of theirs at the height of the violence, before the Indian forces stabilized the region - brutally gun down anybody working in...

I can think of a few. This being a defence forum, the example I'll quote for investigative journalism is the work done by Ms Chitra Subramaniam of The Hindu, when she exposed the Bofors deals. Her meticulous expose of the shady transactions not only created the biggest political scandal that...

Actually, the earth being flat was not a conclusion that was arrived at through the scientific process. It was a dogmatic belief of Europeans in the dark ages. (By the way, people millenia before knew that the earth was round. Eratosthenes even measured the radius of curvature with a...

The underlined and bolded segments are the most (or rather, the only) important part. The official statement of the authorities at the Integrated test range are not good enough; but the reporter's "reliable source" is...well, reliable. I wish there was a mechanism to take newspapers to task for...

That's the same misunderstanding that the other poster displayed. The "big bang" didn't just happen 14 billion years back, it is still continuing. Galaxies are still moving away from each other, the universe is still expanding. It is an observable fact. "Big bang" is the name given to the...

Both statements are untrue. The big bang did not result in the creation of the universe, it is not an event that caused the universe. It refers to the rapid expansion of the universe, from the earliest stage that we can presently study. That expansion is still continuing today - galaxies are...

By you your "general rule of thumb", the MKI turns out to be cheaper than Rafale for LCC: Cost of Rafale : 150 million LCC : 3*150 million = 450 million Cost of MKI : 75 million LCC : 5*75 million = 375 million And I'm being very generous to the Rafale here. Most reports state that the...

I don't understand your point - what has the monetary value of rupee through the past decades got to do with the price of mirage upgrades today? The contract for upgrading the mirages was signed in the past 3 years or so, and the price is obscene. 52 million dollars to upgrade a 25 year old...

Are you sure about that? Do you have the numbers and relevant statistics to support that statement? Are such figures available in public domain? If not, are there any statements to that effect from an authoritative person in the IAF? In the absence of either of those, I don't see how any of us...

Wait for reports from a more mainstream news outlet. I'm skeptical of articles that appear in blogs before appearing in newspapers or from news agencies. If true, I really hope the Rafale is out. It is ridiculous to pay 8 billion dollars for 36 jets at this point of time, when the LCA is on the...

That's the first time ever that a foreign flag has been seen on Rajpath road. Quite a historic moment. Maybe it signals a turning point in India's foreign relations, and we will see increased trade and co-operation with France and other European nations. What rifles were they carrying?
