Ok when you mentioned about combat helicopters - i infered it to be in the true military sense of attack helicopters like the Mi-24/Mi-35 types as possessed by the IAF. While the Mi-24/35 is a truly dedicated attack helicopter the Mi-17,M28 Skytruck,ALH Lancer & HAL Dhruv are not. They are...

Feel defeated!!! Thats a great piece of deduction. Please correct my facts - where was India ever involved in any of the Isreali Arab conflicts. And how & why do i feel defeated? Care to enlighten me . Or someone in your madrassa taught you that India & Israel where one country!!!!

Credible source means an neutral respectable source whose reporting can be taken as close to the original account. Ya the Israelis due to their western ethoes are more forthcoming in their recognition of professional skill and behaviour, than the Arabs have ever been. The Award of...

@ Windjammer The scanned pages are ok, but can you provide some credible source. From which magazine or news paper is the posted article taken? The spced up stories of local publications are hardly reliable news in my opinion. Btw - the second article is unredable.

Thanks for the correction. I had known that the SFF operates out of Bhutan (though i cant validate that with any proof, so had left it out of my statement earlier) but had no idea about the ITBP presence there.

Where in my post have i suggested that any defence activity by India is anti-China or anti-Pakistan. Dude i have only tried to make startegic sense of what military benifits will we inherit by such a move.

Firstly, the combat helicopters that the IAF have a service sealing of approximately 12000 feet and most of the terrain in Nepal and Bhutan is above that. Secondly the IAF currently lacks the capacity for such a strategic lift of troops arms and supplies that you seem to suggest. As a minimum...

The western companies running these call centres seem to have no problems with their english (whats the purpose of having a call centre otherwise). Maybe they dont measure up to your english satandards. Where were you educated??? OXFORD or CAMBRIDGE, i suppose!!!!

Dude thats no way to speak. Before you try teaching them some english, i would suggest that you go learn some manners first.

Just to clarify - Bhutan has a security pact with India, under this agreement their defence is effectively Indian responsibility. If they are invaded it is India's reponsibility to come to their aid. Though Bhutan has effectively chose to stay under Indian protection the same cant be said of...

While i am in full agreement with your first statement. Can you provide some credible information to substantiate the second part of your claim?

precisely my point. articles from wikipedia are not totally accurate. I would suggest using wikipedia as source of counterchecking details and not as a primary source of information.

Guys i dont think these news reports are accurate. For the follwing reasons: 1. Having air bases in Bhutan & Nepal will not give any additional advantage to the IAF in terms of range or any other capability. On the contrary they will be more of an liability than an asset. 2. The airbases...

Whats the source of the above article?? Posting the source allows members to diffrentiate between genuine and non-genuine articles. Most articles posted usually have a dubious angle to the news that they are potraying. Posting from credible sources enables a healthy discussion on facts and...

And what is very little "Indian" about them?? Dude you are clearly going overboard with the naxal threat. Making mountains out of moles here. The Naxals hide in jungles and only venture out in remote areas - they hardly fit the profile of terrorists who can take control of highly secure...

American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) was formed in March of 2003 by a group of Muslim professionals in the Phoenix Valley of Arizona. The group's founder is M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D. He felt that AIFD could formally articulate the fact that...

In fear of 'Eurabia'? The images were clearly intended to get out the vote, and judging by the 57 per cent "yes" vote to ban the construction of minarets in Switzerland on Sunday, they worked all too well. They included the depiction of minarets piercing through the Swiss flag; minarets...

Thanks for the intelligent deduction!! You seem to be some kind of an expert in deducing the quality of subamrines - just by looking at thier pictures. I dont think that anyone else has such a gift not even the most experienced submariners or naval engineers. I was just hoping that your age...

People like Kalam deserve to be president. His presidency reformed the role of the President in the country. Where other presidents preferred to be passive, he was very active. Especially in promoting education.

Precisely this kind of thinking cost you half your country back in 1971. Who are you to decide, wether he is 50% an Indian or a full Indian?? You chaps in Pakistan might have such terminologies for Baluch and Sindhi people, but we in India dont think on such lines. So please dont apply your...
