UTV has been showing a number of indian cities and what has/ is/ will be done to improve the overall quality of life of the citizens. While they are exhaustive, they are not comprehensive. Yet they are pretty interesting with some great footage. Just sharing the episodes on new delhi. You can go...

LOL! good one!

Busy with my work unfortunately. I just try and keep up with what goes on from time to time.

It is absolutely essential that India completes the three stages of its nuclear program in order to have an exponential growth in nuclear power generation using thorium. We should not loose sight of the long term benefits. With vast amounts of thorium, India has, we will have energy security...

With great power comes great responsibility. China is going to be the worst possible power in the world thanks to its utter disregard for other sovereign states (another US in the making!!!). When the mighty falls, it falls hard. The asian community should stand united and take these...

Because a turbofan engine is a lot more complex than a solid rocket motor. In case of a rocket motor, you need capabilities to develop large motor casings, propellant and nozzle with control and actuation systems. In case of a turbofan, the biggest challenge is to develop materials which can...

This is from the "science and technology" section?!!? :what:

If a ship of this size is designed and constructed in such a fashion (wrt both materials and shape) that its signature is reduced substantially and it "looks" smaller/ different on an enemy radar/ acoustic/ thermal or other sensors; it would qualify as a stealth design. Shivalik class ships show...

This is the classic stability instability paradox. IF Pakistan "thinks" that India won't retaliate then this creates instability. In order for the situation to remain stable, it is absolutely essential that the Indian side makes it clear how the escalation would take place. Pakistan is also...

His response is the stated position of India wrt our nuclear doctrine. It is necessary to articulate the same from time to time to make sure that the other side gets the "message". Just as Pakistan made a point by testing "Nasr", India is making a point that any use (even a tactical strike...

Kashtan CIWS replaced with AK630 + Barak 1 combo (or possibly only AK 630).

We don't. The army is fighting the terrorists who are/ have infiltrated into Indian territory and are creating problems in the valley. Kashmiris in the valley do not call themselves Indians. You should visit the valley to know the ground realities. Both sides are at fault and the situation has...

It's quite amusing that no one here questioned this bs report in the first place. How come we are so blindly following these media outlets? There needs to be some clarification before we jump to conclusions. I sometimes feel that as common masses, we have lost the ability to think rationally...

While I agree that the defence shipyards are in no way innocent, the truth is that P-15A program has been dogged with repeated changes in specifications particularly in weapons fit for some time. Originally, the project was initiated with a preliminary weapons and sensor fit which was then...

Some good visuals from NDTV. Ignore the commentary!! http://khabar.ndtv.com/LiveVideo.aspx?id=203907 http://khabar.ndtv.com/LiveVideo.aspx?id=204092

What is this fetish of "Keeping everyone happy"? I know it is a part of indian psyche but for God's sake we are talking about weapons not vegetables!!! The armed forces should be allowed to go with whatever they deem fit and best. I am quite sure indian armed forces, MOD and the govt. are not...

I believe that there is an error in the reporting and it should be 8500 peacekeepers deployed at present. Both Bangladesh and Pakistan field higher numbers. Moreover, indian govt. has decided to reduce the numbers progressively in the years to come.

It's the IAC-1 under construction. This was verified by Lt. Col. Shukla a few months back. The reason it seems smaller than expected is because the aft modules are yet to be integrated. Based on the Google map pics, it seems that this would take another 3-4 years for launching and 6-7 years for...

Why did we go for Hawks? They are way older afa development and induction goes!!
