PAPA-II was shut down, not the agencies which ran them. It exists by another name now, something more affable hopefully. Within R&AW, within MI and even within the army exists specialised teams dedicated to interrogation of captured agents. And they are trained to break people who are trained...

Assuming America and/or the west is willing to listen to this point of view, what would you have America do? How would you want America to intervene? What are the specific demands you would make on the US? While answering, keep in mind that India is no more likely to willingly give up territory...

The Russian proposal is essentially a reworked ulyanovsk Aircraft Carrier concept and thus suffers from some of its fundamental limitations. There is also the element of Russian strategic doctrine having a negative implication on the efficiency of the proposed carrier. Most people assume that...

On a slightly related topic, why would people want to get married? :eek: I'm 24 and I still can't figure it out. :crazy:

A dirge of lament: O child, born to violence, brought up in violence, ignorant to anything but violence, Society has failed you, you now stand consumed by flames of hate. fanning the flames of hate, The children of another generation, lost to humanity. In a few years this generation of...

Ahem, I'm fairly certain you are referring to battalions and not companies wrt the RR and the CRPF. But anyways. even these numbers are somewhat doubtful. Post 2008, a number of RR battalions were weaned away from Kashmir theatre to the NE (Assam) theatre. Concurrently, CRPF a number of...

It's interesting how the people with the least amount of knowledge make the most sweeping of statements. I guess that is to be expected, but it's interesting nonetheless. The zeal, or rather fanaticism for independence (or accession with Pakistan) is directly proportional to the extent of the...

I'd be loathe to engage you in your hypothetical Blitzkrieg; your understanding of force maneuver concepts, terrain and strategic planning is remarkable for its sheer worthlessness. But thankfully, I am not required to engage on those topics to counter the delusions you term plans. In the...

That cannot be definitely ascertained at this stage. I do not have the schematics of the gun turret with me, so I cannot say for certain, but most hydraulic-mechanical systems have a problem with dust/moisture/foreign object accumulation, potentially throwing off the careful alignment of the...

The quotes, the comments, the explosion of collective anguish, the outrage, the rage reflecting the undisguised frustration and the clinging to that one fallen, illusive dream, it would appear that certain people are almost preparing to fight India to the last Kashmiri. When looked in that...

Funny part. I'm not entirely certain the said person is actually aware of this from a mathematical perspective, but 60%+30%+30% actually is ~100%. However on topic, let there be no doubt, such actions, if initiated under duress/influence of any certain individual would be an affront to the...

I believe posters such as the OP do not understand or appreciate or perhaps are unwilling to acknowledge the Indian mindset towards Kashmir. Even if every single Kashmiri Sunni muslim (the only demographic group to have sizeable population with pro-separatist sentiments) were to come out on the...

It is a matter of perspective. To the astronomer chronicling the vast distances between stars and galaxies and galaxy clusters, light year is a unit of distance. To another astronomer charting the origin of galaxies, the universe, light year becomes essentially a unit of time. Every light year...

This is a despicable hitjob, by a self righteous individual claiming moral supremacy by hurling invectives at everyone and anyone who will not subscribed to his version of half truth, canards and sterilized facts. I will not be surprised if he is indeed one of those paid to 'manage' the media...

People who do not have even elementary understanding of the functioning of bureaucracy are the first to make sweeping statements on topics related to it. Sad, but that's how it is. Any acquisition of new equipment requires a competitive trial to ascertain the performance of different equipments...

The G2G deal between India and France is contingent on the assumption that the technical trials and the price bids of the MMRCA deal were unbiased and free from any motivated manipulation in support of or biased against any competitor. If enough evidence, even circumstantial evidence emerges of...

Actually, there may be a little correction required here. S2 (INS Arihant), it appears, is different from S3 & S4, as per a certain authoritative report , also corroborated by prevailing circumstantial evidence. S3 and S4 are expected to have 8 cell VLS arrangement i.e. double the S2 strike...

There has been quite a degree of hushed talk about the possibility of developing a VLO shaped low budget aircraft. Notice I'm using the term VLO and not 5th gen. Turns out, with the right design, it is entirely possible and feasible to develop a VLO airframe based around an existing non-VLO...

Ajay Shukla's 'news' needs to be taken with a bucket of salt. That being said, it does reveal a tussle between the MoD and the Law and Justice Dept. over this deal, a fact which is being overlooked by everyone discussing the deal. There is also another tussle that would be playing out behind the...

The DM has categorically stated that the current negotiations with Dassault are centered exclusively on the 36 Rafales, and by extension, this is where the price negotiations is stuck. Contrary to what newspapers are reporting (rumor mongering), there has been almost no movement on the price...
