Only hope for WB are the people of WB. As a person from Kolkata, we have become too apathetic and are looking too much to leaders to help us.

Pakistani nuclear scientist Pervez Hoodbhoy has spoken of growing fears in Pakistan that its nuclear arsenal could be “hijacked” by extremists as a result of “increasing radicalisation” of the Army. He said such fears were initially expressed mostly in the west but were...

It seems that more countries will use drones in warfare, given the frequency with which the US is using them. I was wondering what are the counters to drones? Can they be fought with fighters, or be tracked with missile defense systems, or something else. Given their size, they'd be hard to...

Well it's up to them, then

Why would RAW fund them? They are helped by the ISI, Imran Khan said the same when he came to India recently. I think terrorism is a Frankenstein's monster for Pakistan. They are unable to control it now, and are themselves suffering for it.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) — which has claimed responsibility for many of the brazen attacks across the country in recent years — has offered to negotiate with the government but only on its own terms. This offer was made through letters sent to a couple of local journalists on...

If all the deals were secret, why would the Pakistani diplomats tell us about them?

I don't agree with the majority opinion here. That species will be extinct if the forest is cleared. It is best to look for alternative options

Is Cold Start even an operational thing, i.e. can we act as quickly as cold start demands? Have we done any exercises to test that?

Sure. We could add better range to the Agni V, and then add features like MIRV and others. So we'd have an updated missile, which has already been tested in a smaller range, instead of a brand new missile. The US only keeps that one type of ICBM, why can't we?

Why can't we make a 13,000 KM ICBM like the Minuteman III, and keep only that in service? It would certainly lessen some problems.

What I meant was that all other systems working meant that we had gotten most of the things right the first time, so we're on the right track

Good. The less delays the better

Good to know that only one subsytem failed. The important thing is that all the others worked. No matter. We need to do some more tests until we get it right.

Well, what does the Pakistani media have to say about this? Can somebody provide links?

Honestly, I don't think we should take any of these official statements from India and China seriously. There is a huge discrepancy between what is said and what is done. India should make bases and reinforcements close to the border and send a sizable number of troops close by, just in case.

This is an accusation by a minister. Could you find some actual sources or a reply by the MoD?

This is good news. Along with DRDO, we also need to bring in private companies. Monopoly on weapon production will lead to corruption. A healthy amount of competition will encourage faster production and less corruption, as well as possibly lower prices.

State Councillor and Minister of National Defence of China Liang Guanglie is the most senior Chinese military official to visit India since the visit of his predecessor, Cao Gangchuan, in 2004. On the eve of his arrival in Delhi at the invitation of Defence Minister A.K. Antony, General Liang...

Nope, still doesn't make sense. Explain what you mean
