~$670 billion total exports

Unfortunately the gratitude will last all of 2 months.

On paper its not much, but it will be significant in the real world - especially due to the effects being compounded by every ton of useful payload/fuel you add.

There is a major difference though - US no longer desperately needs Pakistan in Afg, and there are going to be major differences in their attitude toward Pakistan's relationship with China going forward.

There has long been a saying: Pakistan is run by three As Army Allah America It has been proven true yet again. In some ways the developments have been pretty positive for both US & India - they get to consolidate a military leadership they're willing to work with vis-a-vis Afghanistan or...

The same is the problem with the subs contracted for Pakistan. They were supposed to be equipped with MTU diesels but Germany later backed out - now they're going with lower quality Chinese ones.

Currently they are inducting PL-15E from China - which is a dual-pulse solid rocket missile (similar in concept to India's under development Astra Mk-II) for achieving long range, but no Ramjet program in the works as far as I know, so can't be compared to this SFDR or Meteor. At some point I...

Being a user of Hexa for last ~4 years I can say this is no longer the case.

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.

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...

If I didn't know that this is all being done with the broader aim of countering Chinese influence, I'd be pretty upset indeed that we're giving away supplies at a time when there's global volatility and commodity prices are facing an uncertain future. ...and all so that we can get lectured...

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.

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...

One of the best-looking ships in recent times!

Indian Navy has commissioned its second P-8I squadron, INAS 316 "Condors" at INS Hansa in Goa (West Coast). Currently the squadron has been equipped with the latest 4 P-8s received as part of the second batch.

India To Build 10 Nuclear Power Plants In "Fleet Mode" From 2023 In 2017, the centre, for the first time, approved building 10 nuclear power reactors in one go with an aim to reduce costs and speed up construction time. New Delhi: With the first pour of concrete for a 700 MW atomic power...

An article was published in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) by Andrew Tillett, following up on the recently-concluded Virtual Summit between the Prime Ministers of India & Australia (which was incidentally right after PM Modi's in-person summit with the Japanese PM Kishida). It talks about...
