All attempts to get the message into the other guy's mind fail when the other guy in question is resorting to the use of selective ignorance. i.e. listening to only what he wants to listen. Reading only what he wants to read. However, such selective intake of information only helps to keep that...

^^ As I was saying....dementia. The dementia is strong with this one.

America is not getting any bases in India. :confused:

I won't be reading much into the US fighter proposals for now...but I will say this : the US must understand that it's two fighter offers (F/A-18 and F-16) were already rejected in the MMRCA - therefore cannot hold a candle to the top qualifying contenders. When this is the case, by linking a...

It's turning out all fine but...I can't help but put it out there that the island and many of the cantilever structures look like they were made out of cardboard.

You mean for the Navy? Ofcourse the 10-ton class (S-70B) and 12-ton class (H225M or CH148) NMRH requirements are separate. But I was talking about the smaller utility helicopter tender for which the Bell 429 was thought to be considered at one point. When questioned why the indigenous LUH...

Until now, I was thinking that the maximum number of LUHs that could be bought would be 384 (187+197), but according to this excerpt taken from Prasun K. Sengupta's latest article, the number is considerably higher : " the Ministry of Defence-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) conducted the...

The Chinese member is nuts and is on a mission to somehow convince everyone (including himself) that the LEMOA allows for basing of US forces in India. It is a logistics agreement which facilities US military assets/personnel to land/dock, refuel & possibly repair their assets, before...

Yes, but the vehicle is still the same Volvo trailer....which is by no means considered all-terrain.

I believe it's just a tail skid.

Looking good!

The chopper's 6,500-meter service ceiling is probably it's biggest asset.

The sad part is such inductions/handing-over ceremonies for smaller vessels get little attention by photographers of the media agencies. Almost all pics of such smaller ships built by Indian companies are either shoddy/small resolution or not available at all. Not good press, people...not good...

The pic on top is a Shaurya. Not Agni series. The bottom image is an Agni-5 canister. Nothing to do with launch vehicle.

How can you be sure? Was there a news of it? Not doubting you, but I'd like to know where the news came from.

Are they ever going to procure an all-terrain TEL for strategic missiles? Like the ones used for Topol-M, Rubezh or DF-31/41? The trailers they use now are largely useless on anything other than perfectly-paved roads, such as the ones on Rajpath. Even if that's a bit of an overstatement, it...

I suppose Philippines will acquire a Harpoon or Exocet ASCM variant? Any information on what SAMs you are looking at? Anyway, the Kamorta doesn't have many Russian sensors or weapons - all main radars & sonar arrays are Indian (some Israeli) and the only missiles the ASW Corvette is designed to...

They are a one-throw-of-the-die force. They don't need radars, ABMs, etc.

I agree - the Philippines has been building a strong defence relationship with Korea in recent times, including the purchase of the FA-50 Fighting Eagle jets - the Philippines' only fighter aircraft type. I doubt they'd let go on the opportunity to solidify the relationship further. Can anyone...

You're talking about Hindustan Shipyard in Vizag whereas GRSE is in Kolkata. If you're gonna troll, atleast troll properly.
