    Bangladesh Should Bangladesh go for alternative currencies?

    I don't see much merit in carrying out transactions in a currency as heavily manipulated as the Renmimbi, at any given point its several orders of magnitude more unreliable than the USD on its worst day. It's okay for countries that have no other choice (like Russia) but not for most anyone...

    Pakistan Pakistan's Chinese-supplied LY-80E SAMs Suffered Nearly 500 Defects: Report

    Where it says that? I've found this story on other sites as well but they all point back to Difesaonline - for which I've already written a disclaimer. This is not the first time Chinese-supplied hardware proved defective either...

    Indonesia Navy Indonesian Navy, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut (TNI-AL)

    Is it known what multifunction radar you are going for on the Type-31/Iver? MFSTAR is a good platform and should work with the Barak-8 out of the box, though I don't think there will be any problem even if you go for a Thales radar. B8's seeker & fire control is fully compatible with Western...

    Indonesia Navy Indonesian Navy, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut (TNI-AL)

    It would appear inclined box launchers amidships will be the way to go for any of these ships which weren't designed for VLS Brahmos from the get go. Vertically launching this missile would eat up too much space in the front, forcing designers to reduce the SAM farm. Box launchers for this...

    BrahMos Aerospace is technically registered as an Indian company, with DRDO as the majority shareholder (50.5%) with Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia holding the rest. But we'll see how that is actually interpreted from a CAATSA standpoint...the US Govt has already shown a willingness to make...
