    Gillard's push for uranium sales to India

    I've heard of nuclear plants going critical. But have never heard of a critical nuclear technology? I think you are referring to fourth generation nuclear reactors. And for the record, India leads the world on thorium energy research. Might not need uranium in the future.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    Rafale is not to be used as an interceptor. Naked eye is never a good way to judge acceleration. Interceptors are normally lesser advanced and cheaper fighters in the arsenal of an airforce. Possible to deploy in large numbers and expendable.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    The reason why it will take 6 weeks to determine the lowest bidder. The acquisitions manager read out in broad terms the financial terms offered by the two sides. As the executives took notes furiously, it dawned that the formulae for pricing the aircraft presented by each was so complicated...

    I grew up Hating India: Imran Khan

    From where I stand I see a time sometime in the next decade when in both countries the generation that lived through the partition will more or less die out and the ones who inherited their hatred will be sharing power with younger, open minded leaders. That would be our best shot at peace, but...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    f-35 was never in the contest. Had it been in it, perhaps it could have had a look in. The costs of the MMRCA contendors includes the flyaway cost and upgrade packages as well as ToT and some weapon systems. F35 is costing $156 mn already just to develop at current costs. Throw in no ToT, and...

    India-China Trade to Touch $100 Bn in 4 Yrs

    That makes sense. People fail to realize that companies who want to protect their intellectual property end up setting up manufacturing units in India but to keep costs competitive have to import components from China. Our deficit with China may go up, but exports of these finished goods will...

    India awash in goodwill gestures

    Overcoming the adversarial mindset on the other side of the "wall" is never easy. It not only takes time, it often involves a leap of faith. The Jackson-Vanik Amendment of 1974 lives on eternally despite the "non-existence" of the USSR and its restrictions on Jewish emigration; its repeal is...

    F-35B Makes First Vertical Landing at Sea

    Ahmadinejad: India, Iran cooperation can help regional stability

    I believe this comes against the backdrop of the Syria situation. India along with Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) visited Syria outside of the UNSC purview and within the UNSC blocked the NATO move along with China and Russia against intervention in Syria. Given the latest anti-Iran rhetoric by...
