Hi! @DavidSling Can you share more information about Carmel Combat Vehicle? I watched the video and it appears this is an optimized weapon for flat and urban terrains where use of a heavy tank would be prohibitive from a. Deployment time b. Collateral damage Any idea if this actually has been...

:tup: Lighter tanks if i'm not wrong, carry much lighter armor and hence for given explosive energy of Anti Tank Armament, are more vulnerable. Secondly in low pressure atmosphere, engines even with turbochargers perform at lower power and fuel efficiency, reducing maneuverability. Therefore it...

Not sure if tank is an effective weapon in those high rarified battlefields in Himalayas. I suppose India should look to beef up on long range rocket launchers and artillery (M777 is a really good choice given its weight and reliability). IMHO India shouldn't get fazed by Chinese induction of...

Gautam Gambhir just showed again what a gentleman he is. In a series of tweets, referring to Zohara , daughter of ASI Abdul Rashid, who was killed by militants last month, took the responsibility of bearing her educational expenses.

Yes. Shortly you can add ATAGS 37 kms away to your signature.

Dada, two issues. One, misuse of any law is not new in India we all know how anti dowry law is used several times against a person especially when someone is hellbent to prove other person wrong. So while a large part of statistic you have mentioned above is certainly true, we cannot rule out...

Dear Zibago, Even if we see the entire Indian efforts in past 2 years or so, we wish to get terror organizations getting recognized for their agenda and role and subsequently getting them banned. However as India has realized that unless China agrees to the whole point, technicality of procedure...

WDG 4G during their journey to India. These units are expected to arrive in October November this year for testing. All pics, Ben Stanton, Flickr page.

Just curious, why wasn't Gripen selected?

Russia well and truly behaved like a mature world power and in many respects India too, by not answering daily rhetoric of both Chinese media and state foreign office. In the end while imho nobody won, but clear loser was the propaganda machinery.

So safe to assume, you'll change your flags prior to that :what:

Pressure on Hurriyat: Separatists on back foot as NIA crackdown widens The crackdown continues with searches, arrests and examination of suspects in Srinagar and New Delhi, intermittently, mounting pressure on the Hurriyat leadership. NEW DELHI: National Investigation Agency’s crackdown on...

Having enemies all around doesn't show how strong you are, rather it calls for review of foreign policy and realize that confronting everyone (Russia in North, India on West, Japan and Taiwan in East and about everyone in South) only makes people see you as bully. & someday or other, people...

Probable answer is No. This issue has been discussed to death on forum, LM closing down its Texas line is looking to shift the same to a new facility or country to meet requirements of new orders if any. However if we see aviation industry as a whole, several new options are now available to...

What is the power supply scheme for these trams? I could see a pantograph and solid conductor catenary in 3 pictures but in other pictures, electric wires or conductors are missing. Does this arrangement have provision for running on battery?

These ain't produced in serial manner as you have suggested, rather in parallel to each other, with several components like Hull, RPV and NSSS, propulsion systems manufactured at different locations and then assembled at one dockyard.

I don't think so. IMHO, such measures (& like) are going to act like deterrents and i see similar things happening on Chinese side as well. Faith (whatever little was there) is probably the only casualty of this whole event and India having lessons from Saichen, isn't dropping her guard anytime...

I do hope for people in region, there is NO such next time. Both are responsible and mature countries and i hope lessons have been taken.

Safe to say, there are no losers or winners for that matter. India has put a point across and perhaps China too would understand that irrespective of how much chest beating media on either side does, realpolitik shall always come out triumphant. From day 1, it was clear that Dokalam is only a...

There is no definitive source on how many are to be built, but yes 4 is mentioned at a lot of places and i believe is the correct figure, primarily because Arihant (the lead boat) is more of a prototype and subsequent vessels (No.s 2, 3 & possibly 4) are standardized designs. I think, this is...
