I did not realize what I wrote was worth 20 pages of discussion, bipartisanship and a running battle of insults. We actually decided to take out the comment function because of all the insults (over 100 comments worth). My bottom line, no-brainer conclusion was simply that the IAF cannot achieve...

This is remarkable. I cannot believe anyone can be jailed for writing this. Its clearly not sedition or in any way threatening, merely an opinion! Whatever happened to my beloved Bangladesh to become such a censored country? I'm glad the US doesn't have the share the same line of thinking...

I agree it would be rewarding BDR if it had its own officer cadre. What i meant was having a new force, that uses remnants of the BDR and has an officer cadre. A paramilitary force would not function properly without having the blind trust and mutual respect that officers and jawans can never...

Boy, these Indians sure spin some yarn don't they? I'd really like to see where the investigations actually go. I think the BDR needs to be disbanded, and yet the BDR soldiers cannot be left unemployed as this will create a bigger headache later. Perhaps the best should be screened out and most...

This isn't exactly a rip-off. Its an improvement. Patent law in general gives even incremental improvements new patents.

Probably if you include everything from paramilitary to the police.. technically they are all armed? Just my speculation

I think that some of those could be used in a pilotless manner to "fool" enemies. For instance, the enemy may see 10 radar blips on its radar and fire BVRs against it, only to hit 5 drones..

Thanks Munir, good to see you here! How many forums do you have the time to follow? Thats a good point about "using fighters as fighters". However, having a mix of JF-17s with some AESA might really be a good idea - keeping the Indians guessing while benefiting from the strong points of both...

nice analysis. One point may be that India is going to have to face the consequences, particularly if the ISI is convinced she was involved. In that case, India wouldn't be in a situation to hold the world cup either. which leaves Bangladesh and Sri Lanka..

There is an interesting thread on keypub about how AESA radars are not necessarily the all out superior choice for all roles. There is an argument that a truly modern MSA can outperform an AESA at max angles (crucial for bvr combat) and Eurofighter is seeing this as a reason to wait it out for...
