The Raytheon Sentinel .. These, combined with our existing fleet of Bombardier Global-5000Es... ...should greatly bolster our intelligence gathering capabilities. :agree:

You all even got any evidence to prove said terrorists were from India or were funded/supported by India? Or is it the usual "everything bad happening in Pakistan is because of India" propaganda rubbish?

Innovations do not come unless billions are poured into R&D. Even China rarely innovates. HAL has a long way to go before it can reach the level of Sikorsky or AgustaWestland. For now and the foreseeable future, anything that fits the bill is ok. Furthermore, need drives requirement. If...

What was wrong with the old ones?

Between the two, Pakistan is clearly the one who is a security state that suffers under military dictatorships every now & then. If feeding propaganda to the population is the topic at hand, Pakistan beats India hands down. Pak govt/army's ability to cook up & feed stories to it's people...

Why don't you kill yourself?

Agreed such stories of personnel suffering due to obsolete equipment is disheartening to say the least. However, it must be remembered that procurement of new platforms is not done by just the DM's will. It involves the Finance ministry, political situation, international relations and ofcourse...

Glad you agree with my view about the procurement process, however - Parrikar is simply looking to strike the best deal with the French - he is the best DefMin we've had in ages, hands down. Americans, naturally, are looking for what's most beneficial for their companies. And you can't blame...

With two state-run companies pursuing development of a 155mm, 52-cal gun, I see this as an unnecessary duplication of efforts. Injecting more funds into the Dhanush-52 program and cancelling ATAGS altogether would be the best way to go IMO. OFB should be shown preference in the artillery game...

It does not. It only allows us to linger on with a 40-year old platform that our neighbour knows the basics about, and we cannot even upgrade it at our will. The only consolation is that it is single engined & cheaper to procure than a similar number of Rafales. And the "Made in India" tag...

I believe the ATGM will lose too much altitude if the thrust is delayed further - that would hinder it from achieving it's maximum possible range.

Learning to write one-liners is hardly a substitute for choosing not to read certain chapters of history Considering the fact that any such flight would have provided accurate, strategic imagery of the enemy's heartland from a bird's eye view at a time when satellites were not available, I do...

Where were your shenanigans when you were losing half your country 6 years later? I don't waste time looking into inconsequential actions that provide little to no tactical value other that providing fodder for the domestic propaganda machine within pakistan. Plus, aircraft flying over each...

What, a small civil chopper straying into Indian airspace for 1 minute? You call that a warning? Then what was this? A declaration of war? http://vayu-sena.tripod.com/other-1997mig25-1.html That's not how you conduct a warning flight...or even a proper reconnaissance mission. Most...

But how long is a typical radio buoy cable? And while it can be very hard to detect owing to it's small size, it's still not foolproof as far as sonar/ISAR detection goes. Guess that's how it works then.

I think only ELF bands can penetrate water through hundreds of meters (which is where a submarine would be it wants to stay really stealthy). For other bands like VLF, you'd need to be very shallow or atleast float antenna cables. How deep would subs need to be in order to communicate...

The world will be upside down if you take every politician's word for word. Modi's aim is to build a strong relationship between modern-day India and modern-day Afghanistan. To reach that goal, he will say a lot of things that might or might not have historical accuracy - that's the job...

The description fits Pak-China love more perfectly. Why else would a state that calls itself an 'Islamic Republic' and hosts all manner of religious radicals...make friends with a Communist state that oppresses the very practice of religion? It doesn't make any level of sense unless you look at...

If it shares dimensions with Shaurya (consequentially the K-15 as well), it means it can be put in Arihant's silos as well. A submarine-launched ASBM is several levels higher on the deadly scale than a ground-launched one. However, sharing of targeting data might be more difficult.

My opinion on the issue (as well as that of the Indian Govt., evidently) is aligned with the views of Russia (& China), which is to support the Assad government. He is the only person who has any capability or intent of putting his people in order. If Assad is removed, there will be nothing...
