Yah depends on definitions in the end. Obviously the X-15 has limited direct applicability to what we generally consider a "fighter plane" today. But it was part of an ecosystem of thinking in early cold war about the "mothership" approach.... which would ultimately see greatest fruition in...

X-15 chuckles in your direction.

Yes the main issue right now with RDE is sustaining the (micro array) detonation and the macro-combustion so to speak....that pulse detonation does in much more crude less optimal way. There are material and some practical limits constraining rotational approach given the impulse of time...

Yes we must wait for more evidence and solid confirmation.

Yes the situation can look quite dire if you look at this from this angle. But I believe the ongoing energy revolution will help mitigate and even solve it potentially. Making energy easily and cheaply available at both the dense and spread tiers......will solve a lot of the other resource...

Yes I put France as no. 2 (given far larger impact of English language compared to French etc within India and all that carries forward) ....but there is a good case for it to be no. 1 as well. Depends how you prioritise the military and strategic technology domain in the overall domain...

Russia is lower IMO....and lower than France and potentially other big/impactful EU countries like Germany, Holland and Italy increasingly. Total (goods) trade with UK in 2021 for India was 17 billion USD worth. In Russian case it was 12 billion USD (on a population more than twice that of the...
