It'll give the aircraft an edge for sure depending on how well it is integrated. But will an aircraft sporting AESA be better than the one sporting PESA? Not necessarily. I see little reason to be concerned about it.

Well, if that was the case then everybody would be playing with AESA radars by now. There lies a difference between coming up with a new technology, and finally fielding it on a mass scale. Not even the Eurofighters have been able to implement it. The Russians certainly haven't been able to...

I'd be surprised if they get AESA. The Egyptians won't be getting it on the MiG-35's (so I'm told). AESA radars on fighter aircraft are not as common as people assume.

So to you, the subject only limited to this forum? Along with an Indian imposed blockade. That was what hampered the PA's supply line in the first place. But that still doesn't answer the question. And no Bengalis were "allowed" (please define this part) in the surrender ceremony? Is that...

Actually equipment-wise, they were far inferior relative to the Pakistani military. So the Biharis I see today must be ghosts then.

1971 is long gone. The Cold War is long gone. Everyone is happy. So, what is the problem here? What happened back then was part of a long bygone era. There is no reason for any form of stubbornness against reconciliation. Or, is there? The newspapers here still sprout that 3 million figure...

I don't speak Hindu/Urdu, so I can't say much on the video. The Hindus were instrumental in the movement. I do not know about the intelligence part. The attacks by the military were mainly directed against the Hindu community though. That forgiveness needs to start from Bangladesh...

The government banned many books actually. I've heard that some books written by officers under the Mujib administration were all burnt. Those books are very rare now. Essentially, any book that goes outside some guy's 'comfort zone' gets banned. Munshi is a Rajakar? He wasn't even born at...

Very much possible. But still, very distinct cultures.

Any country supplying powerful weaponry to another country cannot have relations that'd be regarded as 'muddy'. If it is so however, then the supplier is doing something very wrong.

So being a Central Asian excuses one's ignorance. Okay... And I didn't 'claim' anything. I've been very clear about the differences between the two cultures. The term 'Aryan' was largely a caste whose 'Way' flowed through the many millennia. The origins of which are disputed. And we are not...

Live and let live and challenge norms (especially stupid and backward ones). A rebel. My views tend to be very left and a bit of a rebel. At times, I've come to think of myself a Liberal.

You should be very careful about food. There's a reason why countries are very hostile toward food import (usually through trade barriers). As long as Mamata is there, I do not see the deal happening. Modi is a very capable administrator. He gets things done.

I'm just going to quietly sit in a corner...

Hmm...unusual timing to make such a call even given the sensitive nature. But nonetheless, quite significant! Yes, there is a possible issue of radicalization among the Rohingyas. It is suspected that some unknown entities have infiltrated them. Last year, a police station was attacked in the...

Whao... Maybe it's just me, but you make it sound like as if manufacturing an advanced 4++ gen jet would be like manufacturing a car. It's not that simple! http://www.livemint.com/Politics/gir42ucpOUPCoDwMKAGE4N/Rafale-fighter-jet-deal-comes-with-50-offset-clause.html I think we can have a...

There's a general shortage of pilots in Bangladesh. I don't think this move won't help much.

I read somewhere that the Russians will be working on a single engine fighter (akin to the F-35) after the completion of the T-50. Is this really true or just rumor?

Putin better do it! Or else, he's gonna be twitted to death!!

In Bangladesh, people get up the ladder based more on loyalty rather than merit. Be it government or private corporations. This goes on even in multi-nationals. The only exception being are telecom operators. I admit that I do not agree with the government's authoritarian ways and the fact that...
