    ATF-10 NLOS - Nasty shock for 'Cold Start'?

    Hardly a correct or logical understanding of warfare. Your understanding only holds true if the entirety of a strike corps parks itself in an area roughly 6-8 football fields. That is not practiced, even at Corps headquarters. The divisional responsibility for an American division is something...

    Hyderabad Metro Trail Run Successful - India's First Metro to run on Automatic Train Operations Mode

    India's Change In GDP Calculation Method Seems Highly Sensible

    Please don't post such cogent articles. Some people are really clutching at straws, trying to save their behinds from the vegetarian Hindutva Fuhrer Modi and his coterie. What would happen if you sliced away the last few straws they hang on to? They, the self appointed intellectuals, the only...

    Manohar Parrikar to axe former Defence Minister AK Antony's rule on arms deals

    There are currently around 200,000 troops in J&K, that's around 1/6 of the total numerical strength of the IA, not 1/2. And of these, around 60,000 are facing China, leaving some 140,000 troops for the LOC/IB. The only thing Jihadists have managed is to fill the valley with CAPF forces, which...

    Thirty Basic lessons of Armoured / Armored Combat - German Wehrmacht

    This is how you transform a concept into a sound logic; This is how you transplant science into an art. This is how fanciful ideas are moulded into solid reality. This is something I wish every Indian would learn. Having an idea is not enough. You have to be able to break it down into smaller...

    J&K: In second attack within hours, three policemen shot dead in Shopian

    In Nagaland, similar attacks were a regular occurrence right from 1954 till 2001-02: a period of roughly 48 years. In Assam, such attacks occurred almost daily from 1979 till around 2008: a period of 30 years. In Manipur, an insurgency has raged from 1964 till today: a period of 50 years...

    Indian Air Force C-17 heavy lifter in Yemen

    Didn't know the IAF hired you to sniff around for unshowered Indians. Good Job, here's a bone for you running around sniffing poor, hungry Indians' armpits, directing them to poor, starving Indian air force Planes. Bravo, dear brave wolf.

    Shaheen-3 missile to cover Indian second strike from Andaman: Lt General Khalid Kidwai

    Anybody who believes 99.8% reliability can be achieved in practicality is deluding themselves. The probability that such a high probability can be achieved is itself extremely tiny, by pure mathematics. However that being said, we haven't taken the theka of wiping Pakistanis from this planet...

    Government plans nuclear missile shield in Delhi

    Absolutely true. Just as it is also true that no single weapon (read nukes) is invincible over an infinite period of time. Just as BMD can be defeated, so can nukes. Ultimately it comes down to the funding provided for the two. And BMDs are getting cheaper. The missile we chose for BMD is...

    Russia offers to build Project 11356 Frigates in India’s Shipyards

    Oh I do not doubt the need for more Krivaks. My apologies if you think I was trivializing the issue at hand. I was really just sharing a comment made by a recently retired Air force officer. But that aside, home made Krivaks isn't something Russia is offering out of some newly acquired (or...

    Russia offers to build Project 11356 Frigates in India’s Shipyards

    A sarcastic quote: "Russians would offer us a flying bathtub if they had one, and would offer full ToT on it too, provided we bought the water from them that is" I don't know what to make of it. Was it sarcasm, or was there some deeper meaning attached to it? Or maybe he just liked bathtubs...

    Saudi man hospitalised with shoe heel lodged in his head after dispute with wife

    Would it be "Go Man" or "Great job, Dude" if the man shoved a hammer into the cranium of the woman? If absolute equality is to be established and maintained, absolutely equal interpretation of acts committed by both men and women have to be made. Victimising one while praising the other for the...

    NASR : SHORT RANGE TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPON!

    BM strike on a mobile formation beyond the range of ISR assets? You'd be relying on a map and some intelligence agent. You'd have no eyes or ears (biological or othrwise) to do BDA, or to even ascertain if the said location is actually correct or if the force is even present. In short you'd...

    NASR : SHORT RANGE TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPON!

    Using BMs (non veg warhead or veg warhead) on a static location like an airport is undoubtedly a fairly straightforward enough task, almost morbidly simple. However I'm not buying the idea of using a BM on a mobile formation, that too positioned far away from the fighting Firstly, why on earth...

    Indian Army soldier demands justice for brother lynched in Nagaland.

    I think I should take offense that my holiness wasn't considered. :feminist:. But jokes aside, I'd rather not comment about comments made by idiots whose IQ makes Pigs appear astute.

    Russia agrees to lease India a second Akula SSN K-322 Kashalot for ten years

    When they say the deal is worth $1 Billion, it doesn't automatically translate into $100 million per year as cost of leasing. That'd be absurd. That amount includes the cost of the deep overhaul i.e. modernization of the SSN. Now the cost of deep overhaul of the USN Los Angles class SSN is...

    Radicalisation in Pakistan concern for India: NSA

    Unfortunately, the 'radicals' of our nation are a blight to us and our society only. Yours, unfortunately, are a threat to the entire civilized world, and thus the concern around the world, including in your poor neighbor India. Every country has their own radicals, extremist outfits, no...

    Will revoke AFSPA in a phased manner: Mufti Sayeed

    Not really. It's not really a case of malevolent intent as much as a sincere (if misguided, according to some) interest in keeping hard won peace in the region. The fact of the matter is that the army has very limited confidence in the ability of the J&K Police, CAPF force combo in keeping a...
