LiveFist Readers Want F-16 Out First! Emotions? Specs? The PAF angle? Whatever. In the poll I had here, out of 845 votes polled, a whopping 59% thought the F-16IN Super Viper should be the first bird kicked from the MMRCA competition. Interesting. Only 41 voters wanted the Gripen yanked...

Rafale Wins The MMRCA Competition On LiveFist! In a poll conducted here on LiveFist, the French would probably be pleased to know that readers of this blog thought that the Rafale should be chosen in India's $12-billion medium multirole combat aircraft (MMRCA) competition. In almost 1,000 votes...

Short supply of fleet haunts Navy New Delhi, April 21, DHNS Just after the 1962 war with China, the centre zeroed in on the optimal level of naval fleet strength for securing India. Nearly half a century down the line, the navy still has not been able to achieve that level. The emergency...

Eat dosa, sink enemy SUJAN DUTTA INS Shivalik New Delhi, April 21: India’s first warship with a chapati-maker and a dosa-maker on board is scheduled to be commissioned next week, signalling that the naval headquarters has decided to put crew-comfort on its list of priorities along with...

IAF team flies Gripen Demo in Sweden with operational AESA radar [Gripen Missile options] 21 Apr 2010 8ak: One of the few benefits of the ongoing flight ban over parts of Europe meant that 8ak got extra time when we caught up with Eddy de la Motte, Director India for Gripen (Saab). Mr Motte...

Cold start will ensure that by the time you think of reciprocating there will be nothing left to reciprocate with. In theory.

how would you see US vs Iraq, US vs AfPak?

Yes, but they are both nations too full of pride, reasons are historical. Just like N/S Korea. When nationalist fervour is whipped up it can reach a deafening decibel. IMHO that is a forgotten agenda, and no one really cares including perhaps even IA. They hardly raised the hackles in Pakistan...

How will you achieve that? Lets say hypothetically India captures Lahore. Can you nuke Lahore? What about the collateral damage? Will Pakistan be able to nuke her own people to stop India in her tracks? What if the blitzkreig revolves around moving from one population center to another (with IBG...

they said everything is fair in love and war. Pakistan has the bomb and missiles, so why will she wait for some breaking point (pun unintended) to be reached, and not take pre-emptive action as quickly in the war as possible? I will somewhat agree with that. Kashmir is more or less settled. Any...

Saar mod, you are kidding me. Do you believe ALL of India's forces and ALL of Pakistan's forces will be eliminated?

If there is no military opposition, then it will be back to Shimla for yet another treaty. :cheers:

There is no reason why not. But the follow up will also be in the form of contained nuclear strikes with tactical weapons. It has been said somewhere that nuclear attack on advancing Indian formations will be a nuclear attack on India & will carry the consequences of retaliation. The Indian...

there is no plan, no defence against someone who is prepared to die for his cause. Case in point suicide bombers. intel or no intel. that may/may not be true. I am just trying to reason with you. Bottom line being that there will be successive escalation, with India responding overwhelmingly...

not central india but indira point :sniper:

true, true. it wont because the aim will not be to run over Pakistan, but hold onto small but significant chunks of Pakistan, and destroy her fighting ability. I hope people in the high places are not only respectful of Pakistan's abilities but also petrified enough to be on their toes all the...

Golly me, my cover is blown :P What if there is no telecom network standing b4 the BG's step inside Pakistan? :smitten: no i wont, but i see that Indian advance will have to spread Pakistan's resources thin. When we can manage the back end for the world, why not a war? that is Pakistan's...

I dont think there will be a distortion. Pakistan is a leading nation in textiles & tent manufacture besides agriculture. Due to WoT they may also enjoy privileged access to some western markets. Until some years back she was also an electricity surplus nation, which is no longer the case as...

I see, so the trick for India (coming from an arm chair soldier) will be to: A. Seize initiative. Else losses are higher since if you dont plunder the enemy in time he can return the favour. The conventional threshold will have to be very low. Something like start of another 26/11. As soon as...

I speak as a layman, so don't aim for my jugular if you find something funny... If Pakistan can quickly mobilise, then India can neutralise that threat with shock and awe tactics, say a conventional Prithvi series, Agni series, Brahmos strikes all across Pakistan simultaneously, before the...
