I was under the impression that the Barak 8 ER was designed to be a land based system, not a naval system.

We need fleet air defense capabilities to the tune of 150 kms in our AAW Destroyers which sail with the CBG. Barak 8 goes a long way in increasing our air defense capabilities but still falls short of what is needed. @Penguin , your opinion on this?

Of course the blame lies with Maldives for accepting Pakistani preachers and extremists along with Saudi ones. What makes you think they are blameless in this? The point here was that Maldives has become radicalized on a mass scale and consequently caught the 'more Muslim and Sunni than Saudi...

Nice design :tup:

I think 2 nuclear catobar Carriers of around 60-70,000 tons will be crucial for maintaining dominance in Indian Ocean. The third and 4th Carrier will of course be the current Vik and IAC -1 currently under fitment. However, we need to dramatically increase our Air defence destroyers and...

Pakistan is not a 'victim'. Your Governments(including Military) over the years (from Zia onwards) welcomed the Saudi money flowing in your education sector. You wanted your population to become more "Islamic" and the Saudis aided you in your goals. Your Establishment was all too happy to...

I can empathize with your statements because of similar conditions in my country. Our target is to remain over 8% for atleast a decade and we are at 7.5% now. Though we are in the midst of a transformational structural change being done by the present Government. We should be done in about 2-3...

Reasonable estimation. :tup: Though I doubt that your Government will increase spending in percentage terms, they seem to be laser focused on your economic development.

Maldives is becoming a jihadist hellhole. You forget one thing - Pakistan, the wannabe Saudi Arabia He started the first Arabic-medium schools and replaced the liberal Islamic studies textbooks that were taught with until then with a stricter version he imported from the Middle East...

Couldn't have put it better. This is just the starting phases. The tech has a long way to go...and those who dismiss it now will regret it after a decade or two.

Very easy. Which is why it would be placed in air force bases near the border which are automatically surrounded by Air defense systems.

Both of you are arguing needlessly. The decision has to be made by the Supreme Court. Arguing on what should be done on an online forum is pointless. Marcus, just so you understand, if the Government of India promised to Italy that he won't get death penalty, then Indian Government is lying...

A good humanist he probably is, a good Muslim he certainly is not. A Good Muslim is very clearly defined in the books and hadith (the more credible ones). It is not open to change. He has supported gay marriage, spoken of equality between religions and people among other things that a 'good...

The problem with your narrative as it is with all Pakistani narrative is that you tend to invoke tangential issues. I deliberately left out Pakistan's attack on Kashmir and then subsequently India (after Kashmir signing the Instrument of Accession) because at the time both India and Pakistan...

Please research before you talk.. Nepal has already done what India wanted. http://indianexpress.com/article/world/neighbours/nepal-to-amend-constitution-to-address-madhesis-demands/...

That's their problem. Not ours. We will build multiple SSBN's and SSN's and full fledged 11,000 km ranged ICBM's.

@Viper0011. You're the number 1 Nawaz Sharif fanboy of this forum. Please answer the queries.

A4 is not for mass production. It was a TD if you will. It tested out many new things which A5 incorporated. Agni 3 and 5 are for mass production and induction. @The Deterrent

Indeed this is positive. Forming a HoldCo for our Public Sector Enterprises has also been identified by Expert Committee's as a Key reform in India. This would drive more efficiency and lead to more corporate behaviour in these state enterprises in addition to driving up value of these...

Because Pakistan is not a rational actor. It carries a chip on its shoulder which almost forces Pakistan to behave in a defined and now predictable manner. Each time the US gives these economic bonanza's in both forms - economic support as well as military aid, in any substantial amount...
