Relatable.

Which book is it? Looks like an interesting read. Anyway, here are my (incomplete?) thoughts on this sensitive and complicated topic in light of history. First and foremost, empires are meant to rise and fall. There is no other way around it, regardless of any circumstances. Secondly, an...

Apparently, our national fruit. Edit- Oi, what are you-all staring at? It is just a freaking fruit!

I think, we could have lived up to our potentials in those specific areas that you mentioned. However, for last 17 years rampant corruption stalled our progress. You know when there is a transparent democratic government, there is always a limit to corruption. However, when you have...

@Ripley Hmm, i guess for now 4x Istif, 4x 5000t new Frigates and 4x TF2000s is a reasonable 'dry dream'.🙃

Levent launcher would be bigger.

It really is a shame they are making only 3x more of this beautiful ship. 8x Istanbul-class in total should have been the way to go.

Short but excellent summery of how battle of minds are fought in a conflict. (Particularly, now in Ukraine) The Telehgraph is quite good at accurately analysing and presenting 'White people's' stuff. (After watching the Video you can’t help but to feel sympathetic to Ukraine's cause) Their only...

I have absolutely zero idea about anything related to economics, whether it is macro or micro. And i don't know about those numbers either. However, i agree that corruption is higher in BD than India. And when it comes to overall economic development data, i don’t trust the government either...

Excellent post. Casing is an important part of the game in all types of warheads. (And it is definitely not some waste of payload) I was planning add that crucial part to avoid misunderstanding but you beat me there. (with such great details and nuances)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_in_the_Ottoman_Empire#:~:text=Same%20sex%20love%20in%20the,to%20engage%20in%20their%20desires. @Ryder How accurate is this? I heard similar stuff before, but this article making it sound like Ottomans were the champion of LGBT, specially the Elite part.

I am giving you an 'excellent post' without giving you an 'excellent post' Also, on a side note- I should say, my views on India-BD relationship changed to certain extent from previously. (Thanks to my academic first year in sociology as well as my own extracurricular reading on topics like...

I read that article long time ago, but in later news they cast doubt on that. Maybe @Anmdt could tell us if DUFAS VDS is confirmed for I class.

i doubt that, and there are other reasons too.

Not gonna happen.

What should be prioritized for I class is DUFAS VDS. (If possible) Which would be an actual force multiplier and transform the ship into a much safer and capable platform against its most lethal enemy.

I think it has been discussed before. Afaik, R&D bugdet is seperate. Also, I don't think it is fair to compare developing country's defence budget with developed countries defence budget. (Let alone with USA) For example, China despite being the only true contender in great power competition...

"I will take 3x Hisar O+ AD batteries, 1x Khan TBM battery and 1x Barbaros Coastal defence battery for now." -(Hopefully) BD delegation.
