Little boy with Dad's ray bans. Love your avatar pic, can't help laughing whenever I see it. well done friend, keep it up.

de nada amigo.

Hey, who told you that people aren't allowed to get mobbed in democracies? Dolly Parton gets mobbed even today. So do Monica Lewensky and Meg Ryan. Mobbing is perfectly democratic way of exhibiting affection. Yes, people suffering from claustrophobia should avoid it.

The title of this thread is misleading. He was not thrashed by 'A' as was being alleged but was mobbed by 'B'. It is not clear how the story of thrashing by 'A' came to be floated to be picked up by the media. There appears to be a connection between 'A' and 'B'. As a guest of India and relative...

Absolutely right. In fact I would not be surprised if they have the Strait of Hormuz permanently under round the clock surveillance. After all it is the only entry/exit route for the USN Fifth Fleet. The American would be fools not to keep the Hormuz under observation. The problem with remotely...

Look friend, you are talking of 16 inch naval guns shooting across very narrow channels like the Gibraltar or the Suez. Those were the guns destroyed by Gregory Peck and friends in The Guns of Navarone. They do not make these guns anymore. We were talking of artillery and rockets here which do...

I have read about that exercise. The reason that Gen Van Ripper was not permitted to operate the way he wanted to the extent he wanted and the reason no Red Land commander across the world is ever permitted to run wild is very simple. The Red Land commanders are ultimately Blue land commanders...

Totally hypothetical and theoritical. Every one knows the weaknesses of the SM-3. The point is that Iran simply does not have the resources to seriously test the efficacy of the SM-3. It may be applicable to China perhaps but definitely not Iran. When a CBG is on the move, it is not just the...

You can't close a water channel with artillery and rockets. Probability of the artillery shells or rockets hitting moving targets in the channel are very bleak. Moreover, it is very easy to neutralise those guns/batteries. The only option Iran has of closing the Strait of Hormuz is by carrying...

The Iranians are putting up a brave face and showing courage and readiness to challenge the mightiest naval combat force ever fielded by any nation in history. That needs guts and a lot of heart. The only navy that has ever stood up and faced up to the USN has been the Soviet Navy of the 70s and...

congratulations buddy. going great guns. keep it up.

de nada buddy, take care.

Hey buddy, chill. You have never offended me on any account. We all go wrong once in a while, after all it is our own perceptions that we write about here and those perceptions may be wrong. So no sweat. Regards buddy.

Thanks buddy, it is a pleasure to have good posters like you on the forum.

Relishing and gloating over someone's misfortune is never a great idea. Even an enemy must not be kicked when he is down, allow him stand up again as surely he will. Who knows what fate has in store for us? We were in similar condition not too long ago.

I suggest that the Punch - Baramullah approach be not taken too seriously. Look at the map below. The PA would be screwed climbing the Pir Panjal where they would be targeted by our artillery and air with impunity. Only to be met by a reception party once they managed to reach the plains on the...

My friend, the Indians and Chinese here including me and you mean nothing, we amount to nothing. Most of us are wannabe soldiers who missed the chance to be soldiers in real life and are playing soldiers here. Killing each other with hyper patriotism. We do not make policy, we really are...

How so buddy? Does any of this show the PA's efforts in better light? These 'disclosures' do point fingers at our intelligence gathering, accountability or other internal processes but they do not take away the fact that Pakistan blatantly violated the LC in disregard to bilateral treaties on...

That is Ok, we don't have to break our necks trying to break the dollar. It will ease out slowly on its own as it diminishes in significance and utility. The policy KSA or any other country adopts towards America or any other country is its sovereign decision. No one else has any say in that. I...

A number of factors need to be considered here. It is not just about making one, we will be able to make a nuclear powered carrier, no doubts about that. But do we need one? Nuclear powered carriers are phenomenally expensive and what advantage do they give you? Longer range before refueling...
