MIG-21 is BVR capable and has low RCS. and with a good ground radar or an AWACS to compensate for its lack of a strong Radar, it would demolish your puny little planes. Mig-21 bested F-16's in red flag exercise when USA's AWACS were feeding information to Mig.(In that exercise, same AWACS was...

He said "Further purchases" so chances that 36 is final number is low. Interviewer asked him about 90 jets and he replied about 126 so it is not clear how many, at what condition, Made in India or France those jets will be. Mig-21's were anyway slated to be replaced by LCA. MMRCA was adding...

Can't say. He has said that there would be ToT for further jets , but the interviewer did not asked him whether they would be made in India or France.

Sir, According to DM, rest of 90/108/126 Rafales (this govt is extremely secretive. People did not even knew the number of Rafales agreed upon until it was declared in press conference) we would by buying would be with ToT. I could not post links due to low post count, but this is what he had...

I don't think. We had to buy Rafales according to MMRCA. We would be buying Rafaels without MMRCA (if it is scrapped). Outcome is same so no defense company would take technical evaluation of any further tender lightly.

Testing phase of MMRCA was impeccable. No one is contesting technical finds. It is the contract phase that has gone into a vortex. I personally think that Govt to Govt deals are always better.There is very little ,if any, chance of corruption in govt to govt deal, and problems like price...

Calm down guys, DM has stated that "All further purchases of Rafael would be by Govt to Govt mode". This means: 1. There would be further purchases. 2. GoI would negotiate with GoF, not Dassault for purchases. Yesterday, DM has said that rest 108 Jets would be made in India. So I think...

A factually incorrect article laced with copious amount of racism. 1. Number of people in India who live below $2 per day is close to 269.3 million, not 960 million. 2. Malnourishment rate , a years ago stood at 28% ( 18% lower that author’s assertion) and is projected to have further fallen...

Dude, He died in a heart attack the night he signed Tashkent aggrement (USSR). It has all hallmarks of KGB assassination.

More importantly. How come he not become a Tondu?

I don't think we have any files on Shastri. It was a KGB's assassination to put their lackey on throne. KGB must have kept a file on him to blackmail Gandhis, though there is very little chance that they would release it.

I think it is Britain and Japan with whom our relations could get sour with release of documents. Without Japanese connivance and British lechery, an assasination could not have had been orchestrated. Also Bose was dye in red marxist. If rumors of his internment in Soviet camp were true, he...

Make it 10.

Meghalaya CM compares Rahul to Alfred the Great, king who returned to conquer Congressmen who have been going to great lengths to defend Rahul Gandhi’s extraordinary “leave of absence” have just gone farther: about 7,000 km and over 1,100 years. Mukul Sangma, the Chief Minister of Meghalaya...

These 36 are off the shelf purchase.All of them would be delivered in two years as stated by Dassault and confirmed by hollande and Modi in press conference.

ToI has become a Christian missionary mouthpiece. It has a circulation of 4 million , so even if only 1/10 of its readership takes it seriously, it would mean 400,000 potential fifth columnist. Do you have a problem with that?

Forex reserve is there as a collateral to pay short term debt , if that debt is suddenly called upon, and to stablize currency. The moment you start withdrawing your Forex reserve for anything except stablizing your currency, your Economy and market goes to gutter in a handicart. ON Topic...

People who think Partition was bad should take their opinion and shove it where sun does not shine. Partition was a "good riddance" moment for India. Only lament that one should have is that it was not complete due to fool like Gandhi in India's rank.
