Chinese media is not neutral on India. Its not an opinon its a fact. A well documented report on this proved that 40-50 % of of Chinese media reporting was negative. and the rest border line positive. Showing India and its military in bad light as a circus joke compared to the mighty pla...
So your saying the media in China is not responsible to CCP? That the media in China rightfully talks more about Korea and Vietnam because India is isolated? While I see your point, many people disagree including Chinese who see what the CCP agenda is for the long term. While Far East seems...
No, you definitely give a shit about your largest neighbor. Difference is your media is tightly controlled and monitored. The CCP pushes agendas through their media. Not Chinese media, its CCP. All controlled by the party for the party. India the media is not so tightly controlled. They...
You think the Russians would give us something that strategic in nature? They will provide consultation at a price, something they double check for the Chinese. With out them the ATV Arihant would have taken longer, and most likely a dud. Their insight is usefull, but they know not to hand...
The Mirage was used as a benchmark for reliability, maintenance and flight controls. At the time, the ideal platform in IAF. The airframe is not mirage in origin. It stems from a European design similar to the Gripen. BAE was also interested but scrapped it for the Tyhpoon project. The...
Are we talking about the SR-SAM ie QRSAM or Barak1? Because the Barak 8 does what Barak1 was suppose to do removing the need to install both systems on the same platform. Correct me if i'm wrong. If the IN does go in for a SR-SAM it would have be better than Barak 8 and short engagements...
Super 7 never took off because the americans backed off.
Allow me to explain simply with the Pakistani designation.
F-1
J-7
JF-17
You see what I did there. The JF-17 is a mutilation of the J7. Although with minor improvements. Same is true with the J-10, although done with a more RnD behind...
What? You? You know your PLAN or CCP isn't transparent on accidents and deaths of its soldiers be it peace time right? I remember the issue of the missing sub in 2000's that was found years latter by a fisher man in Shanghai harbor and then only did the CCP issue a statement of 20 odd young...
So basically saying India brought the range of the missile down and the weight was reduced. But you are saying that the weight was reduced. I think something fishy is happening here. Anyone else want to enlighten us? Would seem India can reach mars but not design a true ICBM. Political or...
Because domestic production doesn't mean crap. In war time, if a full scale war breaks out, a single production line lets say for jet engines can be stopped by hitting it with bombs missiles etc... this is not WW2. This was understood in the cold war. Hence the reason to have large numbers...
Well China is having economic issues. They can divert attention but the bottom line is She can not be seen as a loser nor the PLA or China. My guess is Beijing will not construct a road if India withdraws, in that case India will want an agreement on paper. But that will be tough to do since...
How is China gonna pull that off? The Indians can have twice the number of troops PLA can send to the Indo-Tibetan border. The Indians are also at higher altitudes as well. The IAF airbases are closer, and at lower altitudes and more numerous than PLAAF airbases. Where is Chinas advantage...
Terror balance in Pakistan favour? That's the first. You basically have out of control snakes that are still biting you. You haven't won the war on terror. Still a lot of training cells and potential threats in Pakistani soil that could destabilize the region more than nukes.
Your war on...
India trains some of ur officers including falcrum pilots. India doesn't give a damn because the only threat from BD are proxy actors or non state actors and those guys are threat to BD interests as well. Your assuming the Indian Army doesn't know the depth of BD. For God's sake BD is...
Su 30 is long range and requires a huge cash deposit and airbases that could hold big planes like cargo aircraft and bombers. They would be prime target for Indian Army or mynmar given the area of BD. MIG 29 is perfect medium providing short range take off even on damaged airstrips. The SU 30...
Except he cold war is over. Reason for India Pakistan animosity was the cold war. You really think Pakistan needs so many nukes to make Indians shite their pants? Ruling and controlling people is problem especially the crazies you've got in your yards. Musharaff and Singh patched things up...
Been through this before. The Rd engine won't give you the ability to actually use these birds in peace time for air traffic patrol. Wartime is useless. Indian Army would destroy them in war before they got off the ground. Also useless for training. Need ground sims. Too many problems...
