Just because India is getting close to Israel doesnot mean that India is getting Anti-Palestinian. People here are Indians first, Muslims/Hindus/Sikhs etc etc later. Exactly the same way it is close to Iran and the US simultaneously. FYI India was one of the first countries to recognize...

Interesting. Not only did the tabloid know that the Chinese planes have nukes, they even knew which ones had them :P. Maybe we should make the editor the head of Military Intelligence... (no, the irony of using the word Intelligence is not lost on me..)

Yes they do. But out together, their total emissions is less than what EU and US emit. Problem here is that the developed nations have been pushing India and China which are facing a industrial boom to focus on emission cuts without actually implementing such cuts in their own countries. It's...

Given the army's ever changing demands with the Arjun MBT, most of the features that would feature in the FMBT were already being included in Arjun. I'm not completely surprised that they might go down this route. While the Arjun MBT still lacks certain features which the Indian Army wants...

Beijing: China has invited India’s “missile man” and former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam to teach at the prestigious Peking University here, offering him a lab of his choice to work with the students. On his first-ever visit to China at the invitation of the reputed Beijing Forum, a Chinese...

Before we get into details lets just point out 1 big difference. In Project 28: Displacement: Standard: 2,500 tonnes Full load: 3,000 tonnes It's an anti submarine warfare platform. The design includes many stealth features, including reductions in noise and vibration of the vessels Buyan...

She won't face any issues since she is an American Citizen. I personally know people originally having pakistani passports have been living in Mumbai without major issues and even have Indian citizenship after marriage since their name is now in the ration cards. Most of the issues are at the...

Ofcourse they would. I'd be surprised to find any supplier who accepts such penalties. But the idea was to send a message and I hope it got through. Su 35 was not designed to be a stealth aircraft but was given certain features bring it closer to 5th generation specifications. It has been...

Seems like a more realistic figure. Key take away seems to be the fact that India wants a greater share in the development of the fighter giving engineers access to 5th Gen technologies. This was what was lacking with the LCA project. You can't just build something from scratch. Hopefully...

Isn't that exactly what I said? The PRC inherited the country from the RC after the civil war?

Agree with you partly. But govt stands to earn a lot more by collecting service taxes from Private players. Have you checked out the kind of taxes they collect from airlines and private buses? Any government organization is usually a behemoth in India and looses a lot of funds to running the...

Can't believe we still have such a view about privatization. The Indian railways is already in process of a price hike. But if you draw parallels to the airlines and the buses, privatization actually brought down prices due to competition and the service levels went up big time! Also as long...

Wonder what kind of spares or lifetime service arrangements go with these second hand sales? Also, what about the weapons systems? Wouldn't procuring these from original suppliers pose a big problem?

Happy to see this service. Will earn quite a few $ with tourism inflow. But as many Chinese members have been Happy to point out, our basic trains are ancient! There has to be an upgrade. Ironically, in communist China, railways are privatized but in India they still remain in the hands of...

Lets go with your logic (or lack of it). Apply it to China. So your navy ends up being the one you inherited from the Republic of China in 1949, not the navies of ancient Chinese empires. Agreed. But there has been a call for diversification of suppliers and need to develop skills at home.This...

Never heard of a pneumonia vaccine before, but it's a good step towards better healthcare for any country.

Hmm...So according to you India's heritage of Navies which dates back 7600 years including the world's first tidal dock is all the heritage of the Royal Navy? And the navies of the Maurya's and the Chola's which extended influence from Egypt to the South China sea was all given to us by the...

That's a very simplistic view. You obviously haven't read details of the Indo-Pak wars where Indian Navy shut off supply to Karachi and destroyed the fuel storage areas of the port. Also during the liberation of Bangladesh where the then West Pakistan was cut off allowing the completion of the...

Since when is rapping African!!!! :what: If you HAVE to put a country/region tag to it, it's American! Additionally by your logic, one can conclude that Pakistan's sport lost out to a British Sport (cricket).

I won't be too sure about that. MKI is not an entirely Russian built model. And it was considered to be the most advanced flanker out there due to the western components in it. The Russians had been known to be keen in bridging that gap. This is probably the result of it.
