I'm quite surprised that they kept this project under the wraps till now. The names changes must have helped (as the article states) because I do remember that there was confusion over Sagarika..and K 15 and so forth a few years ago in the defense forums/circles. What really impresses me is the...

Engine Air intakes at the top AND bottom? ive never seen anything like this. hmnn. The front has tandem cockpit or side by side? if side by side, the front part of the plane is slightly reminiscent of the SU 34. having said that...I believe most of the hype about nations making 6th generation...

not to nitpick, but Kalki Avatar and the assorted materiel is only followed by Vaishnavite Hindus and not the other schools of Hindus, like the Shaivites...especially the Advaidins. just pointing it out as there are quite a few Major Schools of Hindu thought and the Kalki Avatar irrc is only...

Fav TV series? : X-Files Fav Animation? : Code Geass

Hmnn its hard to pick "the" best, so some of the better ones in my opinion are the Bourne Trilogy Inception Sound of Music The Wind That Shakes the Barley The LOTR etc etc

Ok, I couldn't resist replying...How could the Dragon; a mythical creature do anything? let alone kill humans. It makes as much sense as me saying "Also the little green men from mars don't kill humans as elephants do" :rolleyes:

A very interesting, and important letter. Thank you for posting.

I practice Aikido, however its more of a self-defense art tailored towards balancing the body/defending than attacking. Think of it as a mix of Tai-Chi with a slight dose of Judo. imho, the real advantage of Aikido is that it can supplement what we learn in other martial arts forms. For...

I hope in the FGFA the IRST found on the PAKFA is either gotten rid of, or better yet situated in a way that does not amplify the radar signature of the aircraft manifold. the IRST(optical detection pod) is the semi globe like thing that is set near the edge of the canopy and the nose. This is...

Yes, and the amount of support the "tea-party" and the likes of Palin and Beck get here simply blows my mind! Its better to jump off a cliff than allow the likes of these to run the country! Yes, but my reply was in the context of Kaplan's claim which should be read as "India would Ally itself...

Wow, that is great to hear! My granddad knew Kalari and Silambam, but the later generations didn't learn them :(. As these arts are mostly handed down through the family, once lost its hard to learn them. But I noticed that there are some Kalari/Varma Adi schools in Kerala and southern TN...

Kaplan was one of those ex PNAC (project for the new American century) guys who were promoting pre-emptive war. Its really amusing to see him try to pass himself off as a Asian-expert while merely parroting what has been discussed to death for at least a decade already I remember this guy...

Ive been practicing karate and Aikido for some years now. Recently I started learning Kendo, I'm but a newbie so far in that art :) And yes, Martial arts do keep you fit and also have the added benefit of building self-confidence as well as self control As a practitioner of Yoga, Its...

Let me apologize in advance for replying to this post in case its off topic. I couldn't resist replying :) I can vouch for the fact that Malayalam and Modern Tamil(spoken in TN) both split from Medieval Tamil around 800-900 years ago as I speak Medieval Tamil (or at least a version of it). As...

That might be the case, especially in the manufacturing sector, but in the end it does not really matter. Right now the reason for the massive investment in infrastructure is 1 To reduce the overhead (time lost while stuck in traffic, due to flooded roads etc etc) which takes a very noticeable...

I believe that China will neither support nor oppose. And as all the other permanent members have been vocal proponents of the inclusion of India; India gets elected by default. Will the proceedings be tough? yes. But right now India is in a win-win situation. If China makes any noise about the...

China was in far worse shape when it was inducted as a permanent member. Thus this argument is useless

Well, It might not be up to the mark, but it does portend a far bigger economic growth for India when it gets some of the infrastructure deficiencies alleviated. With Indian planning to invest nearly 1-1.5 Trillion $ on infrastructure over the next decade, the true potential for growth will be...

Wiki says that the takeoff and landing runs of aircraft would be 1200 meters. Is that not a lil too much? considering that the landing run(with reversed thrust) for the Il 76 is only ~500 meters? I know that this is largely due to the fact that the MTA is a 2 engine aircraft while the Il 76...
