Hi Sutton made a thread:

Fadnavis didnt take CM post. He gave it to the Shinde guy. What are your thoughts?

Technically different cores, CF6 is much larger....I would say the core is approx twice the diameter and 4 times the flow area and max flow rate etc. That in essence is how you get much larger thrust (or output shaftpower) in the gas turbine.... you just process (compress, heat, expand...

Digging around purely on Canadian legislation side, there have been some advocacy groups looking for tighter canada export controls and implementation..... and the issue brought up by them was bush plane and military aircraft use (that use PT-6 powerplant, new, old and their spares) in various...

I can reply with some confidence re-export of PT-6 to say Pakistan will likely not face much issue/obstacle (at least from Canadian side) as precedent was established recently quite particularly in AgustaWestland export of AW 139 to Pakistan AirForce for SAR role which uses the PT-6 turboshaft...

If you think I was referring to you, you are mistaken. There is a well known Chinese spam troll in this forum though....who is extremely low on facts and quite temperamental (when a discussion actually arises on something or someone brings his off-putting nature to attention). I just do not...

The "this is disposable income " argument only adds further questions: - If the real income (pre tax) is significantly higher , why is the Chinese govt taxing folks at bottom of pyramid so heavily? - What would the implied Gini coefficient actually be given the GDP nominal claims (that Premier...

Actually I forgot about arms embargo aspect, I guess thats something TR did get lifted by this stuff: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-observed-positive-approach-lifting-arms-embargo-finland-sweden-erdogan-2022-05-25/ ....but will they hold to that stuff?...and how relevant...

Sure, thats what I mean by precondition stringency + toughness. i.e not a mechanism (available within NATO) per se, but definitely a clause that TR sticks to at least for the two new entrants where it could do so if it wanted to (compared to those that are doing the same but already NATO...

EU is a very different setup to NATO. Just like UN is very different setup to EU.....so all kind of wiggle room clauses pop up in multilateral/international organisations wherever things are not clearly defined and its "forum/economics first" setup. NATO is quite specific defined corridor on...

How would that even be possible though? NATO is one time entry....once you are in you are in. Any ejection process should have been stipulated in the charter (and it would apply to any member incl Turkey)....but it hasnt. There is thus no "trust but verify" mechanism possible here on the...

Thoughts? @Jackdaws et al.

I hold rogue one as a very good effort I enjoyed. Mandalorian the same. Anyway you first watch this kenobi series.... I just saw a review with ton of spoilers in it (so I wont spoil it for you) ....but I am not going to watch this series as they went with the same ole same ole that ruined the...

India is different context, set of challenges and issues....that are off topic. You can bring it up in the india coffee thread etc if you want to talk about that stuff and we can check the foundational credibility of knowledge and logic on it. I am merely pointing out things like this...

There will now be the typical whataboutism versus Li Keiqiang unfortunate inconvenience. CCP blah propaganda vs Li Keqiang is member of CCP.....which button to press? A rational Chinese person (rare online in english speaking places) would pause.....but spambot types are predictably stuck on...

The hard truth is that this is the much higher leverage US enjoys on Pakistan compared to India. American citizens died in the 26/11 terror attacks.....which is why/how the FBI got involved. Pakistan's actions within AFG (at detriment to US forces) and then of course OBL/Abbotabad sanctuary...
