My Kongunad people of my hometown. Some of the best people you will find in our country.

When it comes to actual attempt at qualitative analysis, the earlier running theory here was the depreciation of TL should get to 15 and then 20 so that exports can provide the miracle. The proponents of that, still have not explained why TCB is intervening (especially with money they do not...

Tbh, there is all kind of conflation and spamming in this thread now about debt in predictable apples-apples way that I already explained is faulty. There is even not an understanding by some the difference between total govt debt (govt can borrow from domestic private sources) and external...

This is just some loose rumour/speculation at this point...that it is in "final stages". The LPD requirement is also for 4 ships. We will hear about it later, what seriousness there is in finance commitment and (picked) shipyard allocation....given things are stretched as is and priorities...

In addition to what "what" wrote here: I have talked about tiers regarding debt, investment (capital flows) etc before: Thus strict debt/GDP ratio is not something apples to apples between countries as the quality + structure of the debt and GDP matter a lot in the end. That tier analysis...

A very quality platform. Greece has a solid military-tech partner in France in general.

W.r.t the DRDO video...lol: Over time, this will be big part of getting VLS-boo (@AlphaMike et al.) numbers up for IN destroyer and frigate platforms. Making more use of the volume available during upgrade and refits. @Anmdt @UkroTurk @Bilal Khan(Quwa) et al.

Important to train/exercise constantly w.r.t likely adversary platforms, RSAF has lot of F-16s constantly on rotation in India:
