As far as I understand, it is very likely to be the Rafale given the momentum here of the acquisitions so far, platform training and experience accumulated (within IAF already and IN to come), ecosystem developed and greater strategic partnership robustness with France. Budgeting finance have...

This footage I remember from mid 2000s actually.... posted somewhere (forum where 1971 discussion was taking place) before youtube era. The POWs were returned back to Pakistan in grossly unfair way to the non-combatant victims. Even if we just take operation searchlight alone, the units...

Junta soldiers fled into India, where they were taken into custody. They have since been repatriated back to Burmese govt through Moreh crossing which is still under control of Junta forces. About 50,000 civilians from Burma are estimated to have taken refuge in N.E India from the fighting so...

It was always going to fail as simply China still has a 3 trillion forex stockpile and about a 11 trillion market cap. Putting aside India and "India in 10 years and 20 years" from now projections to add on top of this etc. Essentially means huge amount of finance for shipping insurance...

I think everything is already baked in w.r.t US-Turkiye (w.r.t Israel - Palestine, Hamas et al.). US and West are more looking at internal sources of finance for Hamas. BTW I just saw that TR Lira essentially was held to a ceiling till the Election this year (May 14th - May 28th)...and then...

It was a real jumble. Honestly WW1 should never have happened at all, countries were extremely short sighted in general and didn't understand the real impact of weapons technology that had been unlocked since the napoleonic era. I mean we can also go into the great rivalry between Prussia and...

That will put the Embraer C-390 out of contention...and heavily favour the Kawasaki C-2.

Check this out @Gessler @Marlii et al. All part of ISRO's strength. https://www.livemint.com/science/conscience-was-not-chandrayaan-3-project-director-donates-away-2-years-salary-received-as-prize-money/amp-11699698816408.html

It's of course not a perfect binary since larger context is factor multivariate (each one having a coefficient with the matter). There are always factors: luck based: natural resource, geographies, neighbours et al. and human based: enlightened principled decisions that can erode and override...

Integration is ongoing (work started middle of this year around July). We may see operational status achieved in 2024 or 2025, depending on the pace of that integration, testing and certification etc. @Gessler may know more.

In general any large power in world will use internal weakness to its favour to weaken the other party. Religion is one, ethnicity is another....whichever apparent cleaves in identity can be used. The Turks have put large amounts of this off the table to begin with given what Ataturk started...

I understand where you are coming from. Yes I am speaking more of the peacetime relationship rather than military strategic one. The latter tends to slot in firmly and persist for its various reasons. However any country must also analyse and weigh other side of the coin with countries it...

No one's asking you to "dream big". Just think real. Not everything need to be some reductive thing hinging on "war with Greece".... just like everything for countries w.r.t Pakistan need not hinge on "war with India" (or "war with AFG, Iran, with itself "). Turkiye has developed strong...
