    The truly wise will find leading by example and setting an example yourself is the opposite of making an example out of another. The latter (no matter in rare cases it is well intended) will drift to recklessness and actually illustrates you do not believe in vitality of your own progress to...

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    With resources factored in, you can make a gas turbine....but it will likely be heavy and weight is premium in aviation especially. Then there are reliability issues to factor in too given a gas turbine is used extensively repeatedly compared to a rocket engine in a missile. The material...

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    Sure. But even without afterburner, the (dry) thrust of GTX 37-14U doubled from orpheus. So obviously there was some exit velocity (and average throughput velocity) increase (at every thrust setting) that would precipitate design changes in the inlet, compressor and combustor inlet vanes (past...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    It is getting off topic (this is TR geopolitics thread) so this will be my last post on this matter here, but I disagree. It is demand and supply in the end (and what basis, absolute threadbare requirements and elasticities a country has for those in the end). Countries can (and often do)...

    India Jet Engines and Gas Turbines

    Orpheus was not "reverse-engineered", it was too weak to power the next gen of aircraft that were already appearing and that India had to stay in touch with. The Marut experience would further solidify this reality. The GTX 37-14U (India's first aviation axial gas turbine) was at least twice as...

    Of the roughly 66 billion USD Pakistan earned from the world in 2021 (exports and remittance combined in current account), China provided maybe 3 billion of it. i.e about 5% of the total. So I don't think so, especially given what I already mentioned in the new global economic setting of vast...

    Its quite possible. In which case, a follow up tweet to thank the rest that were a bit later to come... would probably be best (if this is the case).

    News Istanbul terror attack

    Obviously the administration in question is perfect and has zero chance of making a slip up on a tweet of thanks. Obviously condolences were accepted from: Armenia, Greece, Iran , US etc. (some of which are speculated to be behind the attack itself) But rejected from: Morocco, China...

    Talk of any country imploding is premature. Relative to Egypt, far more economically sound countries have imploded and far less economically sound ones have not. In current world snapshot for example, if you more than double Egypt's population, halve its GDP, halve its exports and quarter its...

    News Istanbul terror attack

    I wouldn't read too much into the tweets regarding thanks given to condolences. I remember India, Brazil and couple other countries did not appear for TR Earthquake one some time back (and people brought that up back then too, assuming no condolence and support offer sent), whereas PRC and some...

    NEW DELHI: Late last month, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched its heaviest rocket, Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM-3), putting in orbit 36 satellites of a UK-based satellite communications company. This was also the first commercial operation of LVM-3. India’s space...
