    I'm pretty confident all Indian-origin missiles & PGMs can be integrated without any issue...the only exception would be BrahMos NG because of Russian components.

    India Navy Naval Aviation

    I think that for a STOBAR application where the burden of takeoff is going to be completely on the plane's own engines, I'd rather put my money on the 2 x F414s than the 2 x M88s...414s are just more powerful is all, which should translate into a higher overall payload capacity for F/A-18 flying...

    I have heard of interest in this engine from the Indian side in some circles...very likely to be one of the first export customers (for MLU of IAF/Army AH-64Es). T901 is expected to significantly boost performance of the Apache in environments like the Himalayas.

    India India - Sri Lanka Relations

    I hope this assistance comes with very strict rules set for Sri Lanka's future economic policy & strategic imperatives (I think we're doing at least the latter). Otherwise SL has proven time & again that it never learns. At some level, I can't help but think at least one of the BRI countries...

    Pakistan to Import Gas & Wheat from Russia: Imran Khan

    It's actually not up to him. The Pakistani foreign policy is decided strictly by the Army-ISI deep state and the 'democratically-elected' government is only a puppet. What is happening now fits into a wider pattern of behavior & events that transpired over the last year. Post US withdrawal from...
