hmmm no comment....

Apparently king cobras do reach this size:

Hmm some interesting underlying survey numbers... https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/finance/fdi-key-to-indias-aspiration-to-be-a-usd-5-trillion-economy-says-deloitte-ceo/articleshow/86358385.cms

Another easter egg in this saga to consider is the American Combat system used by the Aussies in the naval domain and military at large. The trouble with buying (or leasing) even British subs (in the past) is the RAN being wedded to this CS....and it played some part in decision making for...

Non recognition and working through non-official capacity only for any matters of mutual interest (this will be AFG driven rather than India driven given the relative scales of population and economy as it relates to who can ignore the other more). Things like pitting the Taliban against itself...

The most likely result is that Australia doesn't get any subs, there anti-nuke lobbying in govt is very strong. This recent stuff is all executive/cabinet style decision remember....you have to let things play out over time in legislature and even judiciary. Indonesia can afford to watch and...

Yes I largely agree. Hence Indonesia needs a large commitment to Navy going forward. Out of interest what was the breakup in Indonesia military spending for 2019 (or a recent year) among army, AF and Navy? I think a useful starting point. i.e is split like 40/20/40 or 40/30/30 etc currently.

Brutally to the point. "what" cuts through the BS and just lets you know what's what (y)

Yes but I am saying you also have to consider the distance from centre of mass. In other axis, for an aircraft carrier, an irregular shaped runway already imposes huge design constraints on the ships innards placement and ballast tank penalty needed (to balance the whole thing). Not from the...

Supposed is the key operative word. Pakistan has a storied history of nurture, unleash and blowback on itself....w.r.t the why's and hows of the objective resolutions (euphemism to carry water for islamism of the draconian majoritarian variety) done after the founding father died (when he and a...

Dratted aerial projectiles! Form a Testudo! Steady march men!

If you size this motor, you will find the problem. Have to take into account where you want to place the heaviest stuff found on ship in the free body moment diagram. You can get away with it somewhat more on a submarine, as the whole thing submerges and you can size/place the ballast tanks to...

Cuz lots of ching chong wumao apps out there..... gotta thump them back to where they came from!

Yes, trust nothing that govt (or media proxy or corporate shill) puts out on this. I have looked at underlying data for the investment (over last 10 years) needed to do such a thing, and its very lacking to do such a thing...especially in just few years time. TR needs to get its investment...

Out of interest....wonder if we can have a discussion of macro allocation defence wise INA has done in recent times and for forseeable future. i.e what is the % split between army, AF and navy w.r.t total defence budget in following years: 1990 (or as far back as you want to go) 2000 2010...

The issue seems to have pre-existed within ANA as well. US tried an approach of clean slate + stitching this stuff together and it failed pretty spectacularly in the end. Similar to approach they took with disbanding Iraqi army completely and what those (now unemployed) folks went on to form...
