What did the younger one steal? And the daughter-in-law?

Nice to hear that, but she was the turning point. Very many of the shafts wielded at liberals, progressives and so on are shafts wielded at things that she was responsible for; a lot of the abandonment of administrative principle that is rampant now started with her. She is one of the greatest...

Because people like you don't post enough, or don't post interesting topics, or don't raise interesting points of view. If you want to make it faster, it's up to you, and your fellow members.

It boils down to an increasingly aggressive China, and a Russia in free fall. The point is clear, but it still reduces to these two; fortunately, the US has lost the bizarre, war-seeking attitude it seems to have developed from Vietnam onwards.

Another thing came jumping out soon enough. We don't have enough destroyers for three carriers. A carrier battle group typically consists of six destroyers and a larger, Ticonderoga class vessel, call it what you will, the latest fashion is to call it a cruiser. We have a total of ten...

I am wondering where to start. First, this is the kind of pictorial modelling I had hoped to get from cats. He has his own pressures, and we need to move on. Second, the modelling of the Indian Army of the Future (IROF?) need not stick to the models of the Indian Army of the present. If we...

The Indian side had decided to mount a massive pre-emptive strike on the PAF and its airbases at first light, actually even before first light. They made three out of the seven air bases attacked unserviceable, by destroying the runways. But the defenders fired a massive number of SAM missiles...

The war game has started. India launched a pre-emptive strike on Pakistan, and suffered heavy casualties.

Hey, you haven't come back to the war-gaming group.

Haven't watched the video yet. Who won?

If they can do this, why can't they take a ready-made tracked vehicle hull, put a Cockerill turret on top, get a good engine from the Germans to be manufactured under license that will breath the rare air of the high Himalayas with ease, and produce a light tank for us? One that can look the ZTQ...

From elsewhere: Your friend wishes to draw your attention to the fact that the 200 Bofors Howitzers that you refer to are a very small portion of the total complement. That consists of 961 155mm artillery pieces which include :- Self-propelled 36 dhanush (new built SP FH-77B) 100 K9 (new...

@Jackdaws ? That bum was last seen rolling on the floor, laughing, with tears in his eyes! Wait till I get my hands around his neck.

I am a little stunned that the EU should continue to define India as an open society.

That's baby and bath-water stuff. Suppose we did it differently. You know what a national scandal the CSR has become. Around the time that funds have to be spent, the market is thick with offers and counter-offers - company executives offering money, to be handed over to a properly qualified...

Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be a useful manoeuvre to upgrade each and every position in the administrative services, add a hefty dose of training, improve the pay and expect better results. But then our government budgetting wouldn't permit the improve_the_pay bits.

https://theprint.in/opinion/chinas-threat-wont-wait-for-india-to-get-better-technology-army-must-use-more-brainpower/931044/ The images of destroyed tanks in the Ukraine war have rekindled the global debate on the survivability of the tank in the battlefield. In March 2020, Gen Manoj Mukund...

A difficult, even impossible thought to sell to the social media crowd.

Do you expect contrary data to what was found? Are we on the same page if I say that human remains from stratae from the IVC time horizon proved to have no steppe genetic material? and that suggests that the people of the IVC had nothing to do with the steppe people? The implications are that...

Good one. Chewy reading, but good for the intellect's gums.
