Also, I am wondering how the operational framework would have looked like. Obviously, BD is not Sri Lanka or Napal.
Any large scale mobilization would have taken months. And then India would have to fight a bloody war.
With China and Pakistan's active threats to its borders, it is unlikely that...
My friend, Pakistan cannot be a military threat to us. There is 1000km distance between our geographies.
All of our problem was solved in 1971.
We kicked them out and it was over.
While, i agree with you In general, In fact, I always considered the whole 'India's involvement' thing as conspiracy, (Because, I know how easily people victimise themselves and blame others for something that is totally consequence of their own incompetence.) however, (even if you don’t...
There is a reason why Greece has 6 patriot batteries. Both PAC-2 and PAC-3.
Without adequate SEAD/DEAD capability you can't just shoot large numbers of balistic missiles as a primary strategy, as Ukraine war showed Patriot will shoot down vast majority of them.
And Don't think I am downplaying...
I know. The same situation applies to all of those platforms.
My argument is, there's need to be some sort of hard kill capability against laser guided missiles also lile DIRCM agaisn IR missiles. Just mere warning is not gonna be enough.
No offense , but I doubt evasion with helicopter against incoming guided missiles would be as easy as it looks.
IMHO, while the introduction of Aselsan's Yildirim-100 greatly improves the platform's survivability against IR seeking missiles with hard kill DIRCM, laser guided manpads lile...
The role of IRIS-100 and Yildirim-100 is understood.
The first is IR missile warning system that detected the missiles launched and relayed the information to Yildirim-100 (DIRCM). Which then shoots highly accurate laser beam directly to the missile IR seeker and successfully throws it outside...
While personally I held the view that India being a democratic country is a rational international actor, however, the recent shocking revelation has forced me to reconsider my view on the national security matter of Bangladesh.
Previously, I understood that, considering all aspect in any given...
Introduction
BDR mutiny was one of the darkest chapter in Bangladesh Armed forces history.
On 25 and 26 February 2009, soldiers of the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), a paramilitary force entrusted with the responsibility of guarding Bangladesh’s land borders mutinied. What initially appeared to be a...
No offense, but Should you already count off UK and France?
They have the Financial and technological means to build Tempset and FCAS in hundreds. And unlike the previous time they could do it as the great power competition is rapidly heating up.
I don’t think they do separate deal for Hull and sensors+weapon systems.
And we can be pretty sure that, the Malaysian budget of 530 millions is for the whole package.
Which page 194?
Pretty much I think

Model for Malaysian configuration was displayed with VLS.
@Anmdt said it was modified to meet the budget and specific requirements of Malaysian navy. (4 AShM for example)
ADA Class is selling like hotcakes.
And holy cow! Ukriane bought 2 ADA corvettes for $260 millions only.
that figure is still baffling to me, but it seems almost all defence news reported the same.
(Initial contract was $236 millions. But given the variation in the configuration and workshare...
Ukraine's MİLGEM Corvette order rises to 4
Ukraine is on the way to increase the MİLGEM Corvette order to Turkey to four. The construction activities of the first two corvettes are currently ongoing in Turkey.
Ukraine had ordered MİLGEM Corvette to Turkey in 2020. The corvette, which has...
It is not a secret that arab youth aged between 18-24 in the rich gulf are fairly educated and open minded.
But Don't get your hope too high.
Old habits die hard. Vas majority of people over 40 in the gulf lives with a mindset that stuck in 18th century.
IMO, unless there are sort of...
