    India HAL’s strategic move: To export SU-30 fighter jets soon

    More than export of new airframes, I think the real news here is that possibly HAL could become the defacto contractor for maintainance/repair/overhaul (and maybe even upgrade) of most of the Flankers in SE Asia or elsewhere. Russia's MIC is going to be busy serving their domestic needs & war...

    USA US Presidential Elections 2024

    A bullet that hit the ear could have very easily hit the head due to the wind or any number of factors that cannot be controlled. I don't see much merit in the "this was staged" argument.

    While it's certainly a mess in the grand view of things, at the unit level (section or platoon level) the logistics are going to be pretty standard with at most 2 ammo types in use, which is how most Armies in the world operate. It would be exceedingly rare, if impossible, for the same unit to...

    @Afif This should definitively answer the question of the Philippines' ability to acquire OTH targets for BrahMos to engage at longer ranges: they'll be relying on the US to provide those inputs. As I mentioned before, the BrahMos electronics (both onboard & ground-based) were made fully...

    Czech MoD bought 80,000 x 120mm heavy mortar shells and 50,000 x 125mm tank shells from India's MIL. Most of Czechia's Soviet-origin tank platforms (which use 125mm shells) have already been transferred to Ukraine, so if these rounds are indeed going to Ukraine I've no idea how they plan on...
