*** It wasn't meant as sarcastic but as a genuine question from an ignorant member of the civilian population of India. I have read some of your posts in the past (which are far mature and dignified) and take it that you are from the forces; hence the questions posed in my post. No offence...

Enlighten me on this - since you are more knowledgeable. The Marine Corps in the US and UK stands as the 4th force (army, navy, air-force and marines). The US has its own SEALS (apart from the US Marine Corps) whereas the UK has its SAS. Correct me if I am wrong but in India's case, how can...

One of the pic with 2 choppers in the background with the soldiers in the grass... reminded me of Larry Burrows. That pic was a throwback to his style of covering Vietnam conflict. But great work there Arjun Menon. Just a suggestion though - we need more candid photo-documentaries. The...

still using Indian Army version of M1 type helmet ? Thought they had new ones..... sigh...

What's this doing in Indian Coast Guard thread??? @Oscar

This thread is for vehicles. Can we stop using pictures of soldiers / commandos donning various guns?

Been watching and reading a lot about the Chinooks since the Vietnam War era. Damn, those machines are truly "Yankee Papa"

You might also know that your Chinese women are considered cheap fornication meat for most white caucasians.. Go figure ! Rice *ick !!!

Good luck to the Saudi cadets. 3 years ! Maze karo.. aish hein, compared to the dunes and camels in KSA. Mashallah! After training in India, go to Pakistan for more training.

I wish the Rudra could be built with a similar 'design silhouette' but with a larger capacity (fuselage lengthened / widened) so as to become a Heavy Lift chopper capable of larger troop / equipment insertion per sortie. And the option of removable doors ( a-la Bell Huey type)

Let's not get too excited about the frameless canopy. It is at best a representational graphic. If you think the aircraft would have frameless canopy then staying true to the image, the entire aircraft would be seamless without any metal frame rivets etc. And that's not going to be possible...

Thank you for the very detailed answer and I appreciate your taking time to answer. Thank you Bhai !!!

What's with the different camo and different shoes? Can't they have one camo pattern? There are at least 3 different ones here. One woodland (of xtreme left ), brit desert camo (second from left), Two Garuds in the front using grey digicamo.

@Kashmiri Pandit Thanks but please refrain from adding me in tags for NON-DEFENCE related threads. Kitties and pussies scratching you are of no consequence to national securities of South Asia.

Rudra looks rude....

Failures are part of bigger successes. Every nation has had them including Space Superpowers US/USSR. Let's not gloat over this recent failure.

North Indians going there too.. The obesity and diabetis / heart related issues are affecting the urban rich mostly. Our lifestyles have changed but we still keep eating as if we are working 18 hours a day in the fields. Agrarian societies needed all that kind of diet but with the ease of...

Army helmets are NOT in one size fits all. The main reason why the American M1 (classic) helmet from WWII fit mostly western armies was because of the bigger frame of westerners. The M1 variant when used by South East and East Asian armies was too big for the small Asian frames. You could see...

Anyone here has a COMPARITIVE SCHEMATIC (sideview / frontview / top view) of the DHRUV and LUH? Thanks in advance.

@hinduguy - Rice if taken in moderation, is good. So is Wheat rotis. You see, when we Indians were toughing it out in the old days (mostly back breaking work on the fields and farms), we needed that much of food intake. Now we have become more immovable assets (pun intended) with are arses...
