s Well, everything I mentioned are factual chain of events with plenty of sources. Now Modi might not be corrupt per say but for Reliance to make a generous party donation at the right time can salvage such things, it may not be direct corruption more like furthering the interests of certain...

Well there isn't a single deal that involves Reliance that isn't corrupt at some level or the other, it will be quite difficult to prove as these guys have mastered the art. Party funds here and there, all it really takes. These guys have plenty of liquidity and when its crunch time it flows as...

Cost of the C-17 of 410 million per bird includes 45 F117-PW-100 engines (40 installed and 5 spare engines), ten AN/ALE-47 Counter-Measures Dispensing Systems, ten AN/AAR-47 Missile Warning Systems, spare and repairs parts, repair and return, warranty, pyrotechnics, flares, other explosives...

Well our nuke testing was old news dear, if we had to keep looking at old news we can't move forward, going by today's news C-17, C-130J, P-8I, Apaches, Chinooks, S-70B on the way and many more to come. Today, we have enough pull to ensure even if testing another nuke today, no body can really...

Qatar and Cairo ordered 24 for 6 billion. Neither have the same kind of offsets requirements hence the Rafale will cost India much more. Rafale in Brazil was actually even more than 8 billion. The same can be said for the SH, their offer was 1.5 billion lower. No one here is confused, certainly...

. . . OH! I see what you mean! :stop: HAL; not Indians or India, just HAL! Don't confuse the two, many Indians are hardworking and serious! Just sayin' Tay. Complete hogwash, HAL has building the MKI for many years now and the MKI is just as good if not in many areas better than the Rafale...

Brazil – F/A-18E/F Super Hornet Aircraft | The Official Home of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency Going by 2009 prices offered to Brazil, 36 Super Hornet with weapons and life time service cost around 194 million each. Not bad, since Rafale's figure exceeds 250 million based on current...

None of these are indigenous, all MKI crashes so far have been identified to OEM related defects originating from Sukhoi most of these issues are already rectified, C-130J was pilot error but the JF-17 was a technical glitch.

Well LM can dream of selling, they are arms vendors, they will sell to North Korea, Iran, even Russia for all they care. But, Washington won't approve such a sale not considering its relations with India.

Well good thing since we need their help in design and co-dev of the INS Vishal class carrier, we'll probably end-up with 3-4 of these.

Should be easy target for the S-400's 40N6 missiles coming to India soon.

This is your cheap Chinese made bird, that's what happens when you induct birds that aren't fully tested yet Nuff Said.

Funny thing is, if Trump comes to power, Pak bikaris can't go to the US any more :)

You are mistaken, Indian strategy is not to make an armored thrust alone, armor is small part of the doctrine. Rather the key strategy has been to revamp 10 holding corps and 3 strikes into around 5 strike corps and 10 Pivot corps. The key here is to have self contained battle groups that have...

Aww, Pak bikaris are always welcome in the US. Funny thing is Modi got invited regardless of what he might or might no have done :)

The main difference really is that Mig-35 has AESA & all aspect thrust vectoring while Mig-29 doesn't. Mig-35 also has more composites in the airframe but the Mig-29UPG also gained some composites during upgrade. But, they'll start putting AESA on the Mig-29 by 2020.

Upgraded Mig-29 UPG now has excellent radar, OLS, is able to deploy newer weapons including air to surface munitions. It also flies out to longer ranges, has IFR, RD-33 MK-3 engines have a higher thrust output and have better reliability. Over-all the Mig-29 UPG is a deadly 4th gen fighter.

Funny thing is, the survey including 33 countries and India was ranked number 2 and now we are ranked most ignorant people on earth. What happened to163 countries missing in the list. The brits are going bonkers :) Or is it because they only surveyed the most important countries in the world...

Fantastic news, 12 Nuke subs, 9 Scorpenes, 8 Kilos, 4 LPDs and 5-6 carriers by 2030.

Marcos were called in early, only 8 operators were used to keep the militants holed up in an area, they were used sort of like first responders. 8 others were pulling security across the property and clearing rooms. Marcos in the end cleared hundreds of rooms and saves upwards 500 hostages &...
