    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Yeah because if you look at the truck vids closely enough, the explosion doesn't originate from the truck precisely....rather it is offset and envelops that truck quickly. I have seen enough suicide vehicles captured on footage to know something looks off in this case.

    A heat exchanger is good news of course (illustrating crucial steps of applied knowhow for heat transfer esp in turbulent regime for liquid metals which is a frontier discipline of research). But it is relatively early days AFAIK that maybe the tweet does not convey enough. A number of...

    I only disputed when you said they have a monopoly: https://defencehub.live/threads/europe%E2%80%99s-energy-concerns.10878/page-10#post-198037 West obviously imports some significant enough % from Russia (remember the whole uranium one scandal with Hillary Clinton etc?) and wants to wean...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    Whatever some of the top brass (under the impression that money grows on trees and time is an infinite resource) think is irrelevant. When a plane is new they are all over it as best thing since sliced bread....then they gain appreciation of the problems and issues with time and want the next...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    It's just another 25 jets in addition to the 40 already earmarked for conversion for handling the brahmos. So about 3 squadrons in total. So large majority (10 squadrons or so) will remain air-dominance mainly, hopefully with sound focus on what you mention regarding this "super sukhoi"...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    I doubt the AF will be in the first wave of brahmos attacks (those will be G2G brahmos)....this is for follow up of what remains, it is better to have that aerial vector option in subsequent waves rather than not have it....to destroy on the ground as much infrastructure and assets as possible...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    Depends what the IAF plans to do "all out" in a first phase of a conflict to achieve a result. The internal wargaming and analysis matters. So in a multirole platform you will trade off some capability for another...depending on this.

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    We know where they stand after doing extensive sustained and deep training especially with the Singaporeans and Israelis and number of western AF's . How Russia uses theirs is their own problem.

    Shoe on the other foot for a hypothetical.....would you say same thing if India (nuclear power) did same with Bangladesh (non nuclear power).... that all those helping BD really should not humiliate Modi (or whomever is in power at the time and relations having deteriorated by similar various...

    These things in the end can only be (truly) realised if there is an actual war and then analyse things in hindsight after it. Something none of us should wish for. In interim India like any country does what it can to prepare for wars that hopefully never have to happen. India must focus on...
