Guys, we are all happy for the arrival of the Hind 35s just to quench a need! In fact, I was on that thread right before reading this and made the link, you see? The instant we get our first, imported OFC, material, someone asks if we could make it. Darn it, yes we could but no we can't...

Yeah well, you may be alone in doing so Mani! I'm guessing the next GCC meeting will be ... huh ... explosive? Good day both, Tay.

That information is incorrect. 4 Rafales took off in the videos provided by the French Mindef ( MoD ). The fifth took off from another base because it was a Rafale M ... and those carry only a single SCALP. So 9 missiles in, 9 fired. And the incident shows why we double striking platforms on...

Better put that canuck flag away then ... cuz the USAF will MOAB your jazz for costing it almost a hundred millions? Still, more funny than cringe-worthy, :enjoy: Have a good day, Tay.

Problems with the BB code, mate? There an unnecessary set somewhere in there! Just remove it by way of page icon at right top edit box. Have a great day, Tay.

^^^ Take your time to re-read previous posts. Tay.

From HenriK's excellent blog East Pendulum dedicated to the Chinese military esp. flying. Well worth following but in French! Have a great day all, Tay.

Fitting the OP question, my mate! Why, except to avoid the 1-liner rule, would one take the time to explain the obvious, like that India began making a French-licensed helo in 1961 and are still producing it but can't make a heavy gunship rotary craft yet almost 60 years later. Sure, it's India...

Nope. Good day to you, Tay.

Joe, on average between Pak and US, Pakistan feels only the yoke while America conflates misunderstood motives that indeed often change with disobedience/treacherousness. Rand as usual starts from reality, not a given perception of it and reaches "purer" prospectives, better tools. [ It...

Tand report on USAF _ PAF relationship : https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR2107.html The USAF and U.S. policymakers should understand the limits of U.S., and particularly USAF, leverage over Pakistan's choices. The USAF and U.S. interlocutors should calibrate Pakistan's...

Me? HILLS bandit! IMa hills bandit Besides, I've known Hilsas and Elsas and and they were disappointing vs the hype! 8-) Good catch Nilgiri my friend as usual. By the way, that image is positive IMHoO. It shows that the Celestials aspire to a real leader and picked the best they found ...

8-) Tay.

Very interesting, my good mate! So for short, the attribution is not truly linked to combat element roles but rather to role/rank of COs/NCOs which account for too few Bowmans having been acquired? Do you see the troops qualified both tactically and technically to give some to corporals or...

As an indication of anything, that formula points less to military facts than diplomacy. Good day all, Tay.

Frogman mate, could you expound on that? I don't see how the CO and NCO would not assure the formation of the radio carrier man nor do I get how few radios are used. Minimum back in the 80s was for my teams on the squad to each have a radio on top of my own. Theirs ranged low to join me while...

Except they didn't! Thunder was there but not Rafale. I hope my nagging feeling that you mistook a Typhoon with our pretty aircraft is wrong but no Rafales at Ex.GS. Great day to all, Tay.

So much back and forth and so little humanity ... lest anyone forgets, here is a thought for the victims. Tay.

Baroud d'honneur? With the attacks on Ouagadougou, there is trend of punchier actions probably because they need a big hit, top of the charts stuff, not to peter out. Thought for the injured comrades, Tay.

Then, if you admit to higher logical abilities, the last sentence of your previous post has me forced to point out that there are way, waaay better MMOs available. WoW, LoL, Runescape, some collaborative even. It's getting harder and harder to know ... [ To the tune of Maroon Five's success...
