From learned folks (who I leave anonymous here) from group I'm in:
This is part of reason I am against article 370 repeal. You have to think of the bigger picture of what the longer time frame was w.r.t trust. Why folks are part of your country may not be the same reason you are part of it...
Bro you surely know what would have had to been done with our babudom a long time ago to have even a 10% chance of something like this materialising.
They are interested first thing in process + lobbying and whatever else it takes to endlessly fill in the hours of cushy job.....rather than...
Archiving has been completed up to early July .
IAC program thread was merged into general IN carrier archive.
Some threads were pinned and some were unpinned.
As always inbox/coffeehouse/profile page remains open for member's suggestions regarding subforum organisation etc.

Thing is the reapers will be used to the very last hour of their service life... not to mention the capacity/edge in certain infra (past the reapers themselves) India will be accelerating on...that are (apparently) included in this bill. Stuff that India can absorb RnD wise for the downstream...
At this number requirement, F-18 superhornet may be viable as stop gap for say 15 years (given what is maturing tech wise and what can be retrofitted onto legacy), but I think it will be overpriced given its designed for 30 year service...
Blackmail? They can lose India for good then. This is not the India of 30 years prior.
They know that and they know the stakes. S-400 and CAATSA will be major litmus test.
Its very simple.... either they truly get their own strategy or they are doing BS there. It will all come out in the wash...
I agree with lot you say here with certain caveats. I will air out more thoughts on this a bit later, maybe after olympics conclude.
Speaking of hockey earlier, and Orissa (Naveen Patnaik) role in it lately....his father (Biju) was true patriot for our motherland.
Indonesian members here might...
Was going to tag @Anmdt in case he missed it.... but I see he dropped a like here :)
What do you think of the ship so far @Anmdt ? General comments/thoughts would also be appreciated.
Probably as TEDBF can be developed lot faster. AMCA lot of first principle stuff still has to be made concrete...and then there is question of how it holds up with time in specific naval environment/rigour....or navalised version has to be developed once credibility+experience built up to some...
Well I wouldn't go that far...we make do with the vulnerability we got....and plan for worst case scenario where NE is cut off....if PRC by some miracle can get through 2 - 3 whole mountain divisions stationed around siliguri/gangtok area.
Cooperation with BD (w.r.t good connection throughput...
Well clinton-admin helped Albanians a whole bunch (Kosovo in last bit of yugo wars).
@Yankeestani is well versed in this stuff in cultural + political knowledge way too.
Yes it played a role....along with other matters.
But there is key intrinsic force level and logistical reason in this NE vs Tibet theatre too.
It would have to start with how many divisions PLA even has deployed in the area....and how many are deployed on Indian side in NE. Also what are the...
I took some off topic chat to (Turkish) tea room:
https://defencehub.live/threads/%C3%87ay-bah%C3%A7esi.146/page-76#post-101725
Felt off topic for here...we can continue that stuff there.
Thank you for your kind words. I might as well give my core thoughts on my overall perspective/philosophy (as it pertains to fair discussion/debate and systems/people that seek to have it) here as this seems a better (tea-room) place for it...
Readers can click quote chain for context of...
Simply posting the chicken neck will not suffice.
How many divisions are in the NE to begin with, supplied and logistically ensconced by the brahmaputra valley.
....and same question for the PLA, and what are they supplied by? Tibetan topography play any role?
Nixon pleaded with chicoms to...
