Mig29 and Mig29K are two entirely different planes. Do not compare them. Mig 35 was rejected due totechnical reasons,and so were the F-16's and F-18's. There was a problem with the air frame corroding due to design issues in the past.But they were sufficiently rectified. One would be foolish to...

India and China would become the two most important tourism markets for Sri Lanka, as arrivals from the two countries, which have a rich emerging middle class, will remain strong, a report by a local investment bank said. As the report by Capital Alliance pointed out, tourists from India...

I believe it's more to do with culture. Punjab has been exposed to land wars and the army a lot and kids get influenced by that. South India generally has less exposure to the Army so kids tend to be influenced by the Air force.

Religion has nothing to do with selection into the armed forces. Selection criteria are different for all 3 forces.IAF has one of the most strictest criteria for entrance.If a person does not meet the requirement he will not make it through irrespective of his religion Besides, I know loads of...

It showcases how far ISRO has come today. Proud to see the nations resources being utilized for the good of humanity in general.

Shaurya missile was designed specifically to be fired from submarines,although it is also a cannister launched missile. Agni is specifically land based. 300 kms does make a big difference in location of silos for the missiles and having certain targets in range.

I've read his post regularly and had debates with him as well. Like I said, I can understand where he is coning from. You are a category I'd rather not understand.

:cheers: No issues. I can understand Lankan Ranger's stand given the recent events. But Jing Dong has been ..umm....i can't describe him without attracting an infraction. So we'll let it be implied.

You referring to my comment?

I assume that's what it would say if the flag is Pakistani or Chinese. But can you honestly say that by reading this article? If yes, it would reflect poorly on whoever taught you English.

I'm feeling a little sad for Lankan Ranger.Your posts are gonna generate a lot of heat for him without any fault of his. No wonder he hasn't come back with any comments.

Is it just me or did 98% of the sentences in this article make absolutely no sense? Talk about throwing grammer down the drain. Could some one please translate this into comprehensible english.

That island never belonged to India. Was always used as a resting spot by fishermen who strayed into Lankan waters. There has always been a clear demarcation of the territorial waters there. The Tamil politicians are simply using it as a political tool. But yes there should have been a...

I don't think you understood what I said in the post. As long as a a hostile nation has an offensive capability, there will be a build up of counter measures irrespective of whether the offensive armament is pointed at you or not. You can replace China and India with any other nations with...

Doesn't matter if the US fabricated the report. Fact is that China does possess capabilities of significant threat to India. There was bound to be a defensive network set up by India to counter the threat. This report simply serves to expedite the process.

In an apparent disregard to demands by Tamil Nadu politicians to take over the Kachchativu Island, the Central government of India had categorically reiterated that the island belonged to Sri Lanka since it was located within its territorial waters. India’s External Affairs Minister S. M...

GUWAHATI: The map of Assam might soon get changed as an exchange of land, adversely possessed by both India and Bangladesh along the 4,156-km international frontier, is likely to be finalized in an agreement to be signed when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, accompanied by Assam chief minister...

It is a contributor to the RCS from the front. For ground radars not so much. Like I said before we have to take into account total area covered. From the ground or the sides, the contribution of the inlets will not be too high. Even from the front wing tip to wing tip coverage if not designed...

I'm not entirely convinced about the DSI argument. Remember RCS is calculated by area covered. So even if you have a big solid block in the center of the air frame it's contribution to the RCS will be much lower than 2 points at the end of the wing tips. Unless the rest of the aircraft has...

This was an improvised explosive device and there is a difference between an Anti-tank vehicle and a Mine protection vehicle. Anti-Tank vehicles are supposed to detect and detonate mines, Mine protection vehicles are supposed to withstand an explosion and protect people travelling inside. But...
