Wait why does the GOI subsidize Haj pilgrims? Is this real and why?

Wow. You should really learn to read more before posting. The Soviet Union when building such an asset realized the potential because of its size. Even now Russia as it is no longer banks mobile strategic weapons long term. They can't afford it. However they will and can utilize the missile...

Well given the size and capability of Pakistani nuclear deterrence the long term picture would be to have a conventional or nuclear submarine carrying warheads either by cruise missiles or ballistic missiles. This is the most cost effective method against India in the long term. Like wise...

Time will tell if India will have a 3 service solution or a single solution under the sea. Or perhaps more likely its a mix. But I don't see a road mobile strategic missile like Agni 5/6 being an issue or needed given given the range and value of the missile. India is not Russia. Protecting...

Holy sh1te! if this isn't a thread about propagating the failing state of the secular Indian constitution than i'll be damned. The Indian constitution would call out any abomination, because India does have opposing views and the union is only a union at its core thanks to the constitution...

Thats because your not realistic about what Pakistan actually has achieved when it comes to nuclear deterrence. True we'll never know the exact extent but i'll be damned if Pakistan with its limited resources and lack of heavy payload launchers can build a missile head to toe and claim it to...

Depends on who wants to take responsibility. Army? Civilians? Because COIN is just COIN but it can be done overseas, in special military zones like Kashmir but can you get something under Army command to operate against lets say drug lords or naxalites or domestic terrorists like RSS, or...

So far Indians are building roads in Afghanistan. So are the Chinese. Infact the Taliban did nothing but destabilize the region although it could have been worse. I don`t think India wants to destabilize Afghanistan or Pakistan. Rather support of a democracy is better than support for...

Common gay theatrics when your in sausage fest. However, as a PR material for PAK side, its gold.

No. Painting the missile would have been useless. India paid Russia for the missile technology, the difference between Brahmos and Onix is that they former uses Soviet/Russian sats. FYI the missile range of Brahmos is 700 KM give or take just like Onix. Russia ignored the MTCR and India lied...

Right. But, who do you think has been the mediate between Lanka and US relations? Delhi can pull wait here, and besides, the reason they won't go for JF-17 is if the sanctions are removed. The civil war is over. The Americans will likely support them just as they have made policy changes in...

Seems like a good idea for anti piracy. But the article itself leads the reader to believe China is paying for this and gifting these to Pakistan? Is Pakistan paying for these boats? Also with the number of actual larger corvettes that PN requires to protect shores from other naval powers...

I very much doubt this claim that India does not have miniaturized warheads. One would also want to ask the question if such warheads are of any use? Difference between tactical and strategic nukes is where you drop them. Not so much the size. As far as Prithvi is concerned, it may not be...

Article made some obvious points but fails to raise the real issues like communal uprise ie Islamism and RSS grow off hate produced for each other. Thats what they do, they point at each other and say, look!!! I told you so! But a Pakistani lecturing India on secularism is laughable. Pakistan...

It is sensationalized at times especially by media be they foreign. Statistically we are in the dark in % of sexual violence etc... but the numbers are not bad as they appear. Traditionally India has women prominent roles, all though sheltered. The women in India are sheltered, less women at...

Don't worry. The turban does that and much more. Even becomes a inflatable raft when drowning. Big Sikh turban conspiracy. Many Sardars died protecting this secret.

No, the reason its going to be inducted in high numbers is because of politics. Its capabilities and performance take a backseat. Although the performance is ensured thanks to the engines. I doubt Cobras would have been useful in Kargil. The Mi-17 OTOH have remarkable payload and resilience...

I know the LCH is designed for high altitudes which is difficult to achieve but a strong requirement for the IA and IAF given their borders. I know what the Apache is for if its even needed. I argue the IAF only require a small number for small COIN operations and large scale western front...

I know VSHORAD. Summarize it as a quick reaction short range missile. Yes. I;m glad were in agreement no? You are also correct to assume the Indians will not achieve overwhelmingly air superiority but air superiority is their doctrine!, and they will get some airspace. This is well known and...

You really stupid or something no? I suspect with the PLA uses these aircraft as maritime strike/patrol rather than bombing. Any carpet bombing would be token given the handling, and subsonic speeds of the H-6. PLANAF would be the best benefactors of this aircraft, do we know the location of...
