this is stupid AF. taiwan trying to get nuclear weapons on their own means taiwan gets bombed and invaded 5 minutes after the news breaks, and you can bet there are lots of spies in taiwan. a country giving ready-made nukes to taiwan, means that country can expect to have many of its enemies...

its on the chinese controlled side. literally nothing indians can do except if they want to go to war.

could be, but also maybe not. nuclear silos are pretty much built to survive anything but a direct hit and spaced part enough that no single hit could take out two at the same time. how many silos are filled is only dependent on how much china budgeted for the warheads and full construction...

why is it surprising?? those are pretty common for special forces in any larges-ish nation.

yes, thats a large part of it. i did not say china could or even should have the same kind of farms that the US has. I only said IF it did then what the production COULD look like.

yes. agriculture is a difficult business. mainly that poor countries like india cannot complete with more industrialized countries who can produce way more from the same land at a much lower cost due to having farm equipment like tractors or planes, and chemical fertilizers and many other...

its "cheap" in the same way that INS Vikramaditya was cheap. when you get your hands on it, its 4 times the price.

thats pretty insulting to the taikonauts and i guess i expect better from a "think tank" member. these people are the elites of the elites and there is a very long line of people who would drop everything to take their spot. and many of them are no less qualified. its absolutely stupid that you...

most of them dont put their money where their mouth is. they'll put out "china collapse" theories everyday because that's what their audience wants to hear and its what the cia directed them to do. the ones who do put their money where their mouth is, usually end up with "profits" like this: "...

in the first island chain, china has more than enough assets to take on the us. its mostly due to the fact that the us is spread around the world where as china has nearly its entire navy right there. plus the fact that in the first island chain, chinese land based power comes into play...

crappy civilian RC toys have nothing to do with actual jets and indicates nothing about the performance of the actual plane. you can make any shape fly well with enough power behind it.

don't you know? india rewards failure. they give out hero awards if you get shot down and captured.

in defence deals, its not necessary "normal". for example, if rumors are to be believed, these 054AP were sold at or below cost. this literally bad business and no one would have agreed to sell em, unless of course political and strategic considerations were made.

Zumwalt is not an equivalent. sure its weight is somewhat in the same range but the ships are very different, its like saying a 100k ton freighter is an equivalent to a 100k ton carrier. Zumwalt have far fewer VLS despite being heavier, and it's because they put all their hopes on Railguns and...

again, sounds completely made up. indians might be a bunch of savages(ambushing PLA negotiators and what-not), but the PLA is very much civilized and is shown by their treatment of prisoners and returning all weapons taken, both in 62' and today. these last few real events on the borders has...

sounds completely made up. why the hell would the PLA need to go rescue civilians that are already captured? is india intending to torture or kill civilians? or do those civilians have top secret intel they are carrying? because normal procedure everywhere in the civilized world is to take a...

some random guy who made a website. its literally one guy, who is a military fan and has written some books but still one guy regardless. but because he puts indian ships in the top ten, indians will take it as the word of god. or rather the word of the westerners, which to them is just as good...

it has even less missiles than 052C and costs like 300 million more than 055 its certainly a leap for the Indian navy, but decades behind what the us and china is fielding.

its a picture...of a print out...of a still frame... of a video. so its going to look low detailed. but by all accounts its real.

Those are worthless without a full sensor suite. Just like the super long ranged ballistic anti-ship missiles. china has an army of drones, satellites, GPS system for that purpose. but others do not, only acquiring the expensive missiles but then using them at the minimum range is a waste of...
