The state religion again in fulsome display here.

The ‘real’ Pakistan By S Gurumurthy 16th August 2012 12:44 AM The soft story of the ‘official’ Pakistan, which glorifies its pre-Islamic past, hides the terrible narrative of the ‘real’ Pakistan — the Islamic Pakistan. The ‘real’ Pakistan has emerged as a global evil. See how the West...

That was in the past. Looking at SAIL's capability to develop AB/A grade, the Russians bucked and have come to terms. As a point, the INS Kolkata steel (warship-grade) for the hull were provided by the Russians.

Now, if this Indonesian kid flunks this part, then he will be the proven for what he is...a child who goes on and on about his shiny new Algebra book even though he has been schooled repeatedly for his SATs. I say kid, drop the pretense and educate yourself. It will give all of us a better...

Embrace: where philanthropy, innovation and entrepreneurship meet In one of those incidents that are unbelievably inhuman, a five day old baby died in Jalandhar, Punjab, when the doctors took her out of an incubator because the baby’s parents could not pay Rs 200. In distant Bangalore, Jane...

What advantages does the NIIP upgrades for the PAK-FA offer with respect to the Zhuk-AE for our Super-30s ? I believe that beamsteering would be quicker, sidelobe power would be minimized, and addition of more TR modules. Perhaps our Russian friends can throw more light on this.

Dearth of research From the Newspaper | Huma Yusuf I RECENTLY heard about a young Western academic who spent a decade in rural Punjab conducting ethnographic research for his PhD. On completing the degree, he took up a research position in India. Why border-hop and abandon the networks...

Any source for the same ? The Laser guided JDAM versions have CEP 1m or less, whereas the current AASM versions are Decametric. I thought AASMs come in the 125/250/1000 kg classes and the SBU 38 (250 kg GPS guided) was operational. The rest if it is as you say, would be great for the indigenous...

Too bad for the bold parts...i expected a "Desert Storm" to be played out akin to CNN in the Waziristan War ;). Just kidding. We are much aware of what the blowback would be. A media spectacle of the "Lal Masjid" was enough to trigger a massacre inside Pakistan for years to come, and the even...

One of my main concerns is the huge unit cost as well as the precision associated with the AASM as compared with firing a single JDAM. Are there any ongoing negotiations with Sagem/MBDA from the Indian side to integrate them with say better precision guidance variants(lower CEP) ala Rafael Spice...

Selling uranium to India could make world safer. August 8, 2012 Crispin Rovere The question of uranium exports to India has cut fissures in Australian society almost as deep as the mines from which the mineral is extracted. Nevertheless, exporting uranium to India may actually help...

I would rather go with the scheme that sathish has suggested in mind. Heavy Attack Helos-Apache AH64/KA-52 Medium Attack Helos - Mi17 V5 Medium/Light Attack Helos - Eurocopter Fennec(doubling up for transport role). Light Attack Helos - Rudra+LCH

Pakistan is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea here ala the LTTE in Sri Lanka. Let the Haqqanis and the Taliban flourish and the civil war will become as bloody and protracted as it was in Sri Lanka. Go in now, and the blowback will be immediate and huge but the effects can be damped...

Will the Mi-8s/17s be good enough for the MLH role ? There was a planned replacement by Mi17 V5 by the IAF. Maybe we can have a similar fleet for the IA. Of course we have Rudra and LCH for the Attack Helo role. The best option for a Fixed Wing atm is (lease?) the AN32 from IAF to be delivered...

Jack Jacob: The general who saved India from more war By Aimee Ginsburg · August 6, 2012 NEW DELHI, India (JTA) -- Lt. Gen. Jack Jacob, a national hero in India for likely saving hundreds of thousands of lives, is planning to fade away. “I’ve just had my 89th birthday,” he says, “I...

A Mafia in FATA: Haqqanis and Drones. By Myra MacDonald August 4, 2012 It took author Gretchen Peters two years working with a team of researchers to compile a detailed report on the Haqqani network. Published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, it is a comprehensive study...

Who cares what these pole-vaulters do about the Rohingyas ? Their country will be under water in a few years anyways, and they talk about repatriating the Rohingyas !!! I say, electrify and fence our border and shoot any pole-vaulters at sight which the BSF has been slouching off on lately. Reg...

Perhaps he meant those savages who blow themselves up in the name of Allah taking innocent folks with them to get their 72s, yup could be talking about them.

Wasn't the Eurocopter found deficient in the roles of passenger evacuation and casualty constraints as well as limited trials in High Altitude ? The report here points to the above points. The Army's wait to replace old helicopters gets longer by day.
