Apparently what used to be a Mexican standoff has degenerated into a free for all. I for one am clueless as to why people are so easily incited by an online news article....
sure the "headline" is catchy...but then again, it was meant to be. I posted regarding this Nobel issue on a diff...
I cant speak for him, but I think he made a typo. I realized it when I read his post cos it made no sense.
It must have been "If india does not say or promise we wont attend Nobel prize ceremony and the attend it......thats called stabbing ?"
I might be wrong..but..otherwise the post doesn't...
Cool weapon.
I wish the work on Steyr IWS 2000 was not stopped. They were probably The most powerful Anti Material Rifles to be built, ever. It was also the Only rifle to use APFSD (Armour piercing, Fin Stabilized discarding sabot) rounds!

^^ Truly spectacular performance by these folks. I knew that people who don't know a specific language can still song songs just based on phonetic pronunciation alone; but these guys have done their homework very well indeed.
With the advent of the Internet and easy access to...
Thank you for the interesting piece of info. Reminded me of the Amber Room from that part of the world (albeit made jointly by German and Russian craftsmen in the 1700s)

The rifle on the background is definitely a BullPup design, which is good. The last thing anyone would want in the future rifle, is the old configuration.
The title says "Multi Caliber Rifle". I wonder what this means. I assume this implies that the rifle would ave the ability to swap...
Cool Ship.
Btw is it me or does the name of the plant "Yantar" Sounds eerily similar to Sanskrit Yantra (machine/instrument)?
Thus 'Yantar' plant would translate as "Machine plant". What a coincidence! :)
Ah, I didn't know the kamikaze planes had locked cockpits. I'm pretty sure that he who drew up the plans for hovercraft based takeoff thought of it after watching Red Dawn :D
One would think that these companies would listen to the soldiers on the ground a bit before they go around drawing up such plans.
Irrc most of the attacks the convoys /patrols face in Afghanistan and iraq come in the form of ambushes...almost always preceded by a IED explosion(s), followed...
Good one. I remember seeing the concept image and wondering the same. I assumed that somehow there would be some other base nearby which the planes could use to land....unless of course they were planning a Doolittle raid :P
I did read your previous replies. Yet I do not agree with such measures even in extreme cases as it will only be detrimental to the nation. A good example would be the Americas Phoenix Program in Vietnam. Even though it had some notable successes, in the end the collateral was much worse than...
One of the major advantage China has is its (almost) mono-ethnic population. This results in a general consensus that is not found in India or in some other Asian countries.
In fact one could even hazard a guess that democracy works best in a nation which is truly diverse, like India. The...
Well I'm not criticizing his views, everyone is entitled to his/her own. I was simply surprised.
I'm against any such heavy handed government action; as it simply makes the wound fester in secret till the rot threatens to corrupt the entire body. Most cases of dissent at least have a kernel of...
