3rd or 4th in the world is not bad.

Sorry to confuse you. I replied to two different posts. Because I did so fairly quickly, defense.pk turned this into one reply. Your quote was asking about what tourists would say when then went home after a visit to India. @Biplab Bijay had made the comment about high caste being trouble...

Its been done! Neither the mens or womens teams are unbeaten, though it is rare for them to lose.

Diesel subs are more useful if you are staying close to home. The US does not have a lot of need for coastal defense, inasmuch as no-one else has that much naval reach. The US retired it's last combat diesel sub in 1990, and its last research diesel sub in 2007. We've had them, found nukes to...

I haven't been to India - I hear the stories from co-workers who have been there (for work, not primarily as tourists). A story or two about touristy things, but hours of stories about nastiness, filth, smells, and beggars. One of my co-workers apparently had beggars putting their hands in his...

US-Aus on our side of the draw. Spain and USA are the two favorites, which underdog do you think has a better chance? Per the World rankings, its 1 vs 2 (US, AUS), an 6 vs 13 (Spain vs Turkey). Australia is short one of their better players, so I think Turkey has a better chance at an upset...

So, why are you still in the US? Are you a criminal and thus unable to emigrate? Most Asian countries have positions for native English tutors, so there is no "i don't have a job" excuse, even if you are completely unskilled.

Yes, I don't think the Taliban have any magic wands that enable them to get spare parts that ANA can't get, or for less money. And I suspect the Taliban actually operate on a smaller budget. And... this kind of equipment is likely easier to spot from the air, making it more of a liability than...

How far do you intend to extend this? Cattle are a major food source in other countries. Does this offend your religious sentiments? I would be offended to have to bend to your religious views, even though it is not my religion to eat cow (or any other particular thing).

Well, the Su-35 is better in one respect, better looking. The F-35 is just ugly. :-(

What was that British and American comment suppose to mean? That they don't do anything? or they don't change? or that they are the exception (good? bad?)?

Against unarmed protesters, T-55s would look the same - like a tank running someone over. Where 1950-model Chinese tanks unable to do this?

Russia describes the Su-35S as "generation 4++". Even the Russians don't consider it a 5th generation fighter. Further, the Su-35 has lost out on all international bids (SKor, Aus, China) thus far to straight 4th gen or 4.5 gen fighters, or directly to the F-35 (for Australia). Venezuela and...

From Wikipedia: The first DSI was flown on 11 December 1996, installed on a F-16 Block 30 fighter and replacing aircraft's original intake diverter 1996 happened before 2010. Whether it is a "critical" technology or not is debatable. But this is yet another silly pissing match thread...

You picked the article that quoted the Bloomberg interview, not me.

Reread your own post: In the event Exxon leaves, work in the Arctic will continue, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin has confirmed. “Of course we’ll do it on our own and attract the necessary technologies and different partners who don’t have limitations on cooperation,” the Rosneft CEO said in an...

An excellent set of drawing sir!

Diplomatic immunity doesn't stop you from ejecting people you don't want. You can't throw them in jail, but you can send them home.

All 10 US CVA are steam-powered. Steam is the operative fluid for nuclear reactors. You heat water to make steam, use the steam to drive a turbine. The spinning turbine drives a generator for electricity, which can be used for all ship purposes. Some use electric motors to drive the ship...

Here is the original Bloomberg article from the interview that the RT article references. Much less rosy: Russia Says Arctic Well Drilled With Exxon Strikes Oil - Bloomberg More drilling and geological analysis will be needed before a reliable estimate can be tallied for the size of the oil...
