Do they call India ..Hindu in Chinese?

Yeah they do.Not only they but even the Middle Eastern's,Arabs and the Iranians call us the same.But when they do so they actually refer to ethnicity and not religion . . . even an Indian Muslim would be called the same.

They basically are trying to say Hindu but it comes out more like Yendo!!Heres an interview by Ahmedinejad ,just try and listen what he is referring to India as:

It is a well known fact that all great civilizations refer to each other by their ethniciies for eg. We refer ti Egypt as Misr which is the real Arabic name,Greece is referred to as Yunan and China as Chin.If u go to Iran or Egypt today they would only call u a Hindi,i.e. some one from Hind irrespective of religion.

what do you want to hear? I watched this episode, sometime ago.

But seriously, this guy is an "Expert," I put quotes, cause I don't know his exact pedigree, but one of the guest not on this episode is a actual rear admiral at the naval academy with experience in European navies. But this guy's pretty good.

Now what he's saying is a few things, delays in the program, delays to the naval version and the naval version not as good as Mig 29. He commented on the 100 "mistakes" on the Tejas story, and said he didn't know the exact things, so it could be a hundred minor things, or a few major things, and the impact of each. He commented on JF-17 has been deployed and 50th fighter commissioned, and also on the quality, reviews as well as price of the JF-17.

He commented on the composite materials and the wide use in Indian aircraft may be too much. He made a reference to early JF-17 prototype and how it changed from wide use of composites to less, because of the unreliability of composites. These materials are glued together according to report, and if there's been a quality issue, it's impossible to tell before taking off and it could result in parts falling off.

I don't follow Tejas as much so I can't comment on current status.

Composites are unreliable?That was a nice joke.

They have to justify what they have

They have to justify what they have

Why does Tejas weigh so much with 75% composites?? Is it not easier and quicker to manufacture in bulk using metal alloys vs composites?

About 1 flight a day isn't bad at all.

Don't like that at all. The standard IAF grey is just fine- I hope even the M2K-UPGs get this.
