Is it more than just a theoretical scenario? For that mustn't the entire PLA be against an IA not entirely defending our eastern borders? I can't believe that our situation is so bad.

Perhaps i was not clear enough. I have no doubt that defeat is certain for us (though i have no idea how much or how swift it will be in a shortish battle). I just meant that we can hope to be strong enough in the next decade or so for the Chinese to not think about using 'two fists' to attack...

They may suffer far more losses but isn't it quite likely that they will be able to hold on to some bits of out land? This prospect is the actual humiliating part. Also given the feelings of Chinese superiority the IA and IAF may hold back and not deliver powerful punches whenever possible ---...

Then we have some breathing space, provided we do the right things. Hope we become strong enough in the next decade --- so that even with both fists the threatened blow will not be strong enough --- but i keep wondering what will be the shape of our political landscape after the next general...

Hi, thanks for your post. I kept wondering why & what the Chinese achieved and what the actual story was. Given our slow pace of modernization viz a viz China, wouldn't it have been better for the Chinese to wait for some other opportune time, say 5 years from now, and apply even greater...

It would be nice to read what @Joe Shearer has to say: http://www.defence.pk/forums/indian-defence/250579-ladakh-no-deal-struck-china-5.html#post4251109

Indian soldiers killed in Sudan fought valiantly: UN Assistant Secretary General to NDTV New Delhi: United Nations Assistant Secretary General Tony Banbury has praised the bravery of Indian jawans killed while fighting rebels in South Sudan earlier this month. The soldiers were part of a UN...

Actually a Greek Indologist & historian, i forgot his name, had in the institute where i study, delivered a talk on the Aryan invasion theory. He was debunking this theory itself and emphatically distanced himself from any propaganda that ensues when one puts forth these ideas. According to...

Yep @KRAIT, i'm doing PhD --- hoping to complete in the next 3-4 months --- been 5+ years :what: Basically i am trained as a mechanical engineer --- i will get my PhD degree from mechanical engineering dept. of my institute, but my work is related to some aspects of monsoon dynamics --- far...

It is good that you had a good prof. I mistakenly thought that you had done PhD --- but MS research is also research. Mathematical modelling is very important --- good that you chose this field. The behaviour of a numerical implementation of a problem could be quite different from the...

Hi, So from which one of them did you do your PhD? And in which field? But generally we are quite poor in world beating research --- blame it on our education system --- to do well it is better to be taught correctly at the right time. This is why IITs are preferred --- not because the...

I understand every word of what you said and what you mean when you write. I might not have understood it 5 years back but now, thank god, i have grown up enough to think similar things. I would not trade it for anything. I've been through stages when i had no goals and was afraid too --- it...

Sir, A few off topic points... I am probably half your age, of an enemy country, so hope you don't take it negatively. I think that you need to reduce the tenor of your posts. What you say about life and what to learn from it makes a lot of sense --- which is why i make it a point to read...

Hi Asim, What MK means is that it is not necessary for the entire blueprints to be given to be called 'help'. Smart people can figure out what to do & how to make it work if a little is given to them. The Europeans gave Pakistan just enough and the Pakistani establishment ensured that the...

Hi, Shouldn't the debate now stop? If, as some posters are suggesting, PAF has deceived the nation, then the only thing to look forward to is whether the trend is being repeated with greater detrimental effects. The past cannot be undone, but are the current plans satisfactory? It is not a...

That is against what has been fed to non-professionals like me. Thanks for letting us know.

This is interesting. One reason PA kept telling was that a significant force deployment in the eastern border made it difficult for any NW operation. Could it be that some sort of agreement has been arrived at between our governments? Something like Pak seriously assures that they will do all...

Hi, As usual very good points. My friend's dad was in IAF. Don't know from where my friend got info but he said that spare parts manufactured by HAL were faulty. Is it possible that although all Mig-21, Mig-27 series were manufactured by HAL's Nasik division, somehow something related...
