    Don’t rely on US and Japan, you’ll lose: Chinese daily warns India over Doklam standoff

    You guys shouldn't even be in Tibet in the first place. Doubt most Tibetans want Beijing's sovereignty.

    US is clearly standing with India against Pak : Report

    Actually, the assumed condition for the lifting of the US oil and scrap embargo and unfreezing of Japanese assets in the US was a general Japanese withdrawal from China, or at least to the 1937 de facto border. Japan chose war instead.

    Why Defence Ministry Is Considering A Cut In Standing Military

    This will be a good move if it happens - modern wars are won by technology, training and leadership, not numbers. See the Gulf War, when if I recall the Iraqi forces had a numerical advantage.

    US introduce bill to bring India at par with NATO allies and boost defence ties

    I believe that the leadership of the United States earnestly sees India as a valuable and equal partner to build better relations with. Both nations will be among the leading powers of the 21st century, and our shared democratic values also serve as a basis of cooperation in this dangerous...

    €7.25-billion: France makes its ‘best’ price offer for 36 Rafale fighter jets

    The more I think about it the more convinced I am that this deal is a scam and not worth the money. Better spend the money on developing the Tejas/4.5/5g Tejas successor. You guys have to break your dependence on foreign sources for many arms. It also harms India's international image.

    After 30 years of service, India is retiring its iconic British-built Sea Harrier fighter jets

    "Since its induction, the Sea Harriers have been the air arm of India’s battleships, INS Viraat and INS Vikrant." Left: Battleship. Right: Carrier. Get it right, media! :p

    Speculated that GRSE won Philippines Navy Deep water patrol vessel (frigate) program

    "Deep-water patrol vessel" Is that like "through-deck cruiser"? :p

    India to launch 25 foreign satellites, including 12 of the USA, during 2016-17

    I hope the Orbital Vehicle is green-lighted.

    Russia may sell three Project 11356 frigates to India

    I would think that India would do better to focus on indigenous designs for military projects as much as possible, as that's the current political priority. The new Indian frigate class is quite capable.

    “Let’s Be Ambitious Together” U.S. Pacific Command Admiral Harry Harris's Raisina Dialogue Remarks

    *NATO*'s Ukraine adventure? I must have missed when the 1st Armored and the Eurocorps rolled into Crimea, as opposed to the Spetsnaz. There is certainly room for deeper cooperation with India for the US, and I greatly dislike this Administration's schizophrenia when it comes to foreign policy...

    ISRO over the Moon, 2016-17 budget has earmarked a total Rs 7,509.14 cr

    As a space enthusiast, I can only cheer on India's efforts. Touch the heavens with glory!

    What if Russian Project 23000E can be base for future Indian nuclear AC.

    STOBAR *AND* CATOBAR? Lunacy. For a large carrier CATOBAR is the only option - with STOBAR your carrier is limited mainly to fleet air defense due to the low payloads imposed by the ski jump. CATOBAR turns your carrier into a real force projection platform - the main purpose of carriers today.

    footage of CE 20 Engine of GSLV MKIII test

    Good stuff. The SCE-200 is really important too for the future ULV.

    INS Arihant: What India's new nuclear submarine could mean for the world

    The SSNs are ultimately more important.

    India's Deadliest Sub Is Ready for Operations

    Hopefully the SSN project doesn't take too long. Once India has them it'll be a member of a very exclusive club.

    India Plans to Launch 60 Space Missions

    I hope India will green-light the Crew Vehicle after the GSLV III (and future ULV) are ready.

    INS Vishal : 2nd meeting of Indo US officials held in New Delhi

    This is good. India-US cooperation benefits both parties, despite recent US stupidity re Pakistan.

    pics of INS Vikramaditya's in Maldives

    That damn ski jump...it cuts payload dramatically compared to CATOBAR. Still a big step up for India.
