The PLAN does not have Aegis systems, that alone puts the whole credibility of the article in question.

I would very much like to see these sources and know what type of S-300 they were (if actually delivered).

Prove it, or even provide any evidence which even supports this statement. (And read the posts). You said Nuclear EMP, any kind of Nuclear device detonated in a countries territory is considered a nuclear attack, then the US gets to turn your country to glass. What delivery systems? Are...

But the SKS is very different to fire to most modern weapons (Ak's not included as they are not really modern), why train to shoot with a weapon that may not even be similar to fire to the one who are going to use?

The B2 has a lot of anti IRST systems and features built in by design and added on, it would be extremely difficult to track at any useful range and that is with some of the state of the art systems (which Iran doesn't have). Not to mention that Iran is just starting to get the S-300 and it will...

And how is Iran going to get these EMP bombs to the US? And if suddenly Iran magically got the capability to get these bombs to the US it would lead to Iran being completely annihilated. (You mentioned nuclear EMP and detonating any nuclear device on or above the soil of another country is...

Practice with the weapons you and your men are going to carry, unless the insurgents are using SKS's in which case it makes sense to learn how to use them.

What I want to know is why she is using an SKS, they are completely out of date these days.

US has a launch on first impact policy, unless you nuked them they would not nuke you. So there is no danger of that. We got our SLBM's as a result of the Cold War, they were needed against the Russians as there was a very real possibility of nuclear war. These days they are still needed...

That 'home made stealth plane' would cost a lot of money to make (I do mean a hell of a lot) and would not be as capable as the JSF, why spend far more to get a less capable plane? Oh and we were part of a US UCAV project but we left to pursue our own. To reinforce domestic industrial...

True, but it requires different systems (presumably).

How the **** were these men captured! Caught with their pants down? This reeks of absolute incompetence or treason as jon as pointed out. Either way it should be a cause for major concern and not for joking.

Getting it to hit the right area (even with nukes you need some accuracy) would be the largest barrier I would suspect. Basically targeting systems.

Why does India need ICBM's?

If it is primarily an Anti-ship missile with limited cruise missile capability why would the army want it anyway?

Ah, didn't see this post before posting my reply. Sorry for the repeated points.

The Replica was designed to potentially be part of the Future Offensive Air System, it was designed to have a similar level of Stealth to the F117 and be primarily a bomber. Not a fighter. FOAS was cancelled and we got the part we wanted in the JSF project, it wouldn't have filled the gap left...

97-150 pounds! That is hell of a lot. We carried about 75-90 pounds of gear in the Stan, which is quite a load itself to carry while fighting, but over 100 pounds! That has got to decrease effectiveness especially in mountainous terrain. I suppose when you are going on three day missions you...

We have done a lot of work on stealth in the past, we have made a few full sized mock ups of stealth aircraft, the BAE Replica being the most memorable. Yes it was made to show the yanks that we should have more of a part in the JSF program by showing them we could make our own stealth planes if...
