Hi, What about Kaveri quality issues and the number of service hours before major engine overhauls? What are the details about rapid increases in thrust when required? i don't know of these issues but they are important. Chinese are having similar problems even though their industry is more...

Hi, Yes, China may not be at the level of western tech in avionics as yet. But overall they are better than us. So unless we get western tech in some critical areas, it is IMHO, unwise to say that at the time of induction LCA-MK2 will be better than JF-17. There are rumours that JF-17 blk2...

Hi, Approximately when is LSP-8 scheduled to fly? Will it be fitted with GE-414 engine which will come around late 2013? I am asking because if it is not with GE-414 then how will the full flight envelope of MK2 be understood? Or is it that upto LSP-8 it is the MK1 version and after this...

Hi, What about the upgrade programs? As the aircraft numbers reduce how are the terms renegotiated?

Hi, Since it has been suggested that Pakistani AWACS is very crucial, what are the methods than any airforce eg IAF use to neutralize them? Can a few MKIs or couple of strike packages and accompanying escorts overwhelm the Pak AWACS & its escorts? Likewise will PAF target IAF Phalcons? What...

Indeed Mukherjee is one of the best posters around. I always make it a point to read his posts whenever i chance upon them. Was never in a hurry and did not seem to ever bother about becoming a senior member by virtue of number of posts only. Congrats ! PS: You were never given a pink...

Sancho, Did you thank me ??? Countless times you have argued for your French beauty...

Hi Guru, Sue NDTV for that. If true there will be lots of guys who can back it up through authentic sources. Waiting for them. Edit: confirmation is coming fast and furious !!! PS: Do i have the honour of posting it first at defence.pk?

Rafale Wins? New Delhi: Sources have told NDTV that the French aviation company Dassault Rafale has won the $10.4 billion deal for supplying fighter aircraft to India. The Indian Airforce plans to buy 126 aircraft over the next ten years. The first 18 aircraft will be bought off the shelf...

Don't people think that Pakistan, India and China have a greater chance of breaking up before US does?

Don't we all know them... except we do not have the guts to realize that we could well be one of them. I am currently doing my PhD at one of the best science institutes in India and probably the best in my field in India, and i am shocked at the lack of concern, guts and extreme selfishness...

@Santro Why so negative? Of late this is what you seem to try to make everyone hear. A bit like MastanKhan. At present since i live in a rapidly improving country the vast multitude of the have-nots of my motherland is somewhat divorced from my daily thoughts --- it is as though i know...

It should not be too difficult to increase and sustain a growth rate of 5 - 5.5%%. For a region like South Asia this much should happen almost even without wishing for anything to happen. The bar at present has sunk so low. It is silly that growth in Pasistan is not really happening right now.

Any Windows (windoze) version is the best virus detector. For freedom from almost all viruses etc. use Linux - any distribution will do great.

We had assumed too much during our struggle for independence. A just fight to oust foreign autocratic presence does not automatically mean that we have exorcised our demons. It takes time and maturity to 'rise up the ladder'. In a democratic setup it needs a push both from capable leaders and a...

A simple and honest truth and reconcialition policy may not always help. It has to reach the masses. Or these wars have to be a distant fact with little more than academic relevance now. In India the we at present do not remember our former affinity towards LTTE. Also IPKF is distant. We are...

Remove your moderator cap and just make a couple of ban worthy thought provoking statements and viola! I can advise you in this regard. Actually don't --- you are one of the most balanced mods here. Keep up the good work, sir.

Many good ones come but most are gradually made less effective by the system and the reasone you mentioned above. The professors must share a significant part of the blame. But in the final analysis --- blame the system.

Cross posting: http://http://www.defence.pk/forums/world-affairs/132947-those-who-run-body-shops-should-not-comment-iits-chetan-bahagat-nara.html No doubt working in Infosys/TCS/Wipro and the like is by and large nothing much to talk about. But that does not take away the truth from his...

Pretty much along expected lines. It is not surprising that we are unable to do decent quality research. The good thing is that GoI has finally woken up and decided to pour in significant sums to create more high quality institutes. This is a time consuming process as the system even in the so...
