    India AMCA Program

    You can just watch and see yourself rather than speculating with selective bits and pieces. Time is the best proof in the end and airs everything out. There is no need to be needlessly pessimistic or optimistic given India's size and resources coming to bear pushing reform in every choke point...

    India Arabian Sea Operations

    You are still not understanding the houthis WANT convoys to happen. They get the opponent to drain money 10-100 times faster if their core infra is simply not targetted in response. Places from where missiles fired/drones.....ummm these are mobile launchers. There is intel available where they...
