Woah!
Even we don't have an all elevated 225 km expressway. Heck, I doubt if even China has an all elevated expressway that long.
If GoB is considering an all elevated expressway it points to two things:
1. Land acquisition is a hurdle in Bangladesh
2. Land over which the expressway is to be...
Hasina has done well for her country.
Bangladesh is showing economic growth faster than Pakistan. People are being lifted out of poverty and into industry.
And Bhagwan kare, Bangladesh continues to do exceedingly well..their economic growth rate rises higher and higher.
That is teh goal.
However, when we buy US weaponry or equipment, we stockpile the spare parts in huge quantities(much more than an average customer does) just precisely to guard against this possibility.
As of now there are only plans, no company is going ahead to invest in making chipsets.
Of the 2 consortiums GoI gave tenders to for a fab plant, neither has even moved an inch in the last few years.
Prithvi 2 is now a test vehicle for new missile tech prototypes. Because all the flight and performance parameters of the missile have been established over the decades, its one of the most reliable missile of India - and nearing obsolescence.
Whenever they say they are testing Prithvi 2, it...
Kindly do not advise India on how to spend its monies.
As the citizen of a country that is doing much worse than us - both in social sector development and economic development, a Pakistani is simply not capable enough to advise on how India spends its money.
India will choose to spend where...
That is a very very incorrect equivalency to make.
India is a nuclear power but can't run a simple airlines(Air India). Different competencies and political will is required to run different projects. A govt being able to do one thing excellently may not be able to (or willing to) do the same...
As long as you guys are happy, Im happy.
There would be many many more such self tests done by India(GoI), till such time as we succeed. So you will definitely get more happiness from this in times to come.
And yet, I would not have it any other way. I would want such efforts to continue. Much...
This is in fact good.
The Chinese people don't want to have more kids. That means China will have a stable population for now and a declining population in future.
Thereby massively boosting per capita income and quality of life for the average Chinese citizen.
I only wish India could follow...
Pakistani's are ever eager to glorify themselves. And we can always trust them to miss the forest for the woods.
India's unprecedented actions against an impending sale of F-16's is not about F-16's at all. Pakistani Airforce today stands as a joke in front of the IAF in terms of weapons...

An article that explains very concisely what this new Government is doing. Its not doing the big bang things, but steadily the entire defense manufacturing sector is being...
How small tweaks in policy are drawing domestic and global firms to defence manufacturing
It is not headline-grabbing moves such as designating the private sector as 'strategic partners' but tiny fixes in government policy that are firing up India's defence equipment making industry. These...
That won't solve the problem. Making it bigger keeps the weight/thrust ratio same.
weight/thrust ration is the thrust provided by the engine per kilogram.
We are going to tie up with a French company to improve our engine.
Engine technology is notoriously hard to master.
We do have engine overhauling plants, and have also built one engine of our own design which works well, but it doesn't stack up the desired weight/thrust ratio that is required to power future generation of fighters.
I would say the only other...
The eco system is developing slowly. Its not something that can be copied easily per se.
Bangalore already has an IIM (and a very good IIM at that) along with IISC.
It now needs an IIT as well.
Govt has also now finally started supporting start ups, is cutting regulations and making ease of...
