    Saudi Arabia slaps Russia in the face

    I said probably - You should know that the Iranians would like nothing better than to see a regime change in Bahrain which would kick out the US 5th fleet which is currently residing there. Also there is the Shia Sunni angle. What 75% are you talking about?? There has not been a single protest...

    Saudi Arabia slaps Russia in the face

    No currently I dont - am in college in India but I grew up there and was there during the holidays - so my first hand knowledge is about a month old - but I have friends there and the ground reality is that the govt is actually trying to help the people - recently all the people who took part...

    Saudi Arabia slaps Russia in the face

    Are you comparing bahrain's situation to syria's?? If so then you are completely ignorant of the truth - how many thousands have died in the last year in syria - compare that to not even 50 in Bahrain. The Bahraini government still uses only non lethal weapons against unauthorized protests and...

    Israeli Derby Missile to Arm New Indian Fighter

    Ever heard of Stop gap measures?? The Astra was supposed to be the primary BVR missile for LCA but due to delays it wont be ready to be integrated by the time the Tejas in inducted and it will be extremely stupid to have a BVR capable fighter with no BVR missiles. When the Astra is ready it will...

    F-35JSF Vs Su-35S Comparison

    Well the F 35 will be carrying only 2 BVR missiles( Total capacity is for 4 missiles but I expect them to put 2 WVR missiles as well - or the F 35 will be a sitting duck in WVR combat ) - So according to you a single F 35 can take on only 1 enemy aircraft - and as soon as it fires its missiles...

    Russia wins large contract to modernize Indian Su-30MKI fighters

    we definitely need new engines for the Su 30MKI - after application of several layers of RAM , the weight will significantly increase so we would need higher thrust - also the IAF isnt too happy with the current engines - there have been rumours of engine failures also the current engines have...

    Ajai Shukla: Where is India's light fighter?

    I think the IAF needs to put an ultimatum on the HAL and DRDO - get the tejas mk2 ready for induction by 2016 or we buy the grippen.

    Ajai Shukla: Where is India's light fighter?

    Its happening because those countries do not need to increase capability - they are achieving the same capability they earlier had - but now it requires fewer fighters . India, however, needs to increase the capabilities of all three armed forces because of increasing chinese military might -...

    Pakistan cannot afford war over Kashmir: PM Gilani

    On topic - the man is right - pakistan is fighting a long war of attrition on its northern areas which has no forseeable end - militarily speaking it would be stupid to try and start anything with india. Also economically it would destroy them - WoT has already cost them billions - a bigger war...

    Pakistan cannot afford war over Kashmir: PM Gilani

    Maybe this is not the best place to ask this question but its one I've been meaning to ask for a long time - What is Pakistan's position on Kashmir?? I mean you guys seem to support the militants who are fighting for an independent Kashmir yet you too are holding half of kashmir - or do you...

    Indian Navy chief says ADA let it down on LCA

    Well the ADA and HAL have let the AF down as well - the LSP 7 and 8 which were supposed to be handed over to the AF last year for user trials havent even flown yet - I think we wont see more than 120 LCA (40mk1 have already been ordered and we will order 83 mk2).

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    I dont think so - the UAE will soon purchase 60 odd rafale and the PAF has good relations with them as well - so they can thoroughly investigate the Rafale too in near future.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    #2.Proved it's Omnirole in Libya?? Are you serious?? They bombed a few defenseless targets and while they did a very good job, it only proved they are good at A2G ( and that too only against old outdated equipment) The term Omnirole or Multi role includes A2A as well which they did not prove...
