heh @Bilal Khan(Quwa)

Well ISRO budget is about 2 billion USD. Total govt expenditure in latest (ongoing) year is projected about 940 billion USD. So its not anywhere close to 5%. This is off-topic. ================================================ Simply with TF-X we let time pass and see how things go in the...

Best of luck laddie. Do your best. See you around here later.

There is lot more pragmatic+utilitarian dimension to the relationship (past asserted ideology etc)....esp given the heavy factionalism on both political sides. So when that utility recedes, the old issues come to forefront. No one in AFG can seriously accept durrand line imposed by British...

The point I was trying to make is I do not understand why you have to put any country on some pedestal (just because you perceive them to have said so). Simply treat every and any country as regular as any other (tribalist-default foreign policy) and it all makes much more sense. You have to...

Good article to read on the matter, covers lot of the points we have mentioned: https://www.reuters.com/article/turkey-banks-loans/as-lira-swings-some-foreign-banks-review-or-scale-back-turkey-exposure-sources-idUSL4N2T61LW Basically Turkish export-corporate Eurobonds is the only thing worth...

India was never part of NATO, in fact for large part of cold war it was closer to USSR. US sent a CBG to threaten us in 1971 (among other things it did before and after...that simply it has not done with NATO partners)....and we always keep that in mind and US knows this. You can only make...

Of course 99% have no insider info (thats true worldwide) at all. Regular saving deposit folks and small investors and retirement fund etc....they are the modern day serfs the corrupt leverage their schemes off and exploit. It gets worse generally in developing world where institutional...

In local language where I am from, we tend to say something along lines of : "some weathervanes are so close to politician rear and the gas/farts"... :LOL: Honestly, decent+educated+rational members should just ignore one-liner weathervane spam-agitators. They will be jumping for joy when TL...

Yield is essentially interest rate in reverse direction (since you are lending to govt bank). The govt pays you (original bond holder) that extra each year and then face value back at maturity....agreed upon when it issued the bond. The higher the bond rate, the more it can sell (and borrow)...

Kudos to you both @Gessler @Gautam . Earlier thread with some previous info (I go into neutron economy and related): https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-civil-nuclear-program.1160/ I might archive this there too over time. =========================== Yes PFBR is facing big challenges...

Well it is not just the offensive capacity, but the long term plan and costs associated with even a best case scenario of invasion of another country. What next, and how do you fund that occupation....of a now large even more hostile population to your forces/people? Or you just want to do...

Yah ticking time bomb effect like I described....you build up pressure for later by plugging a cpl things (to help with election tactic)....but keep continuing/adding to the pressure so those plugs eventually wear out too. You gamble it will happen later rather than sooner. I guess in a way we...

They first have to make up their mind if a low number or high number is good for TL vs USD/Euro. Or what range is best....and how that range is to be decided (activities/decisions of many millions of people, or just a few that "know"). Just some pages back, all kind of people were saying...

Christmas eve launch coming up, 7.20 AM EST....fingers crossed all goes well @Anmdt et al.

https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/arcelormittal-nippon-to-produce-24-mt-steel-using-green-technology-in-odisha/article37979757.ece Roughly a 13 billion dollar investment.

There are couple more things he might do after new years. More extreme capital flight controls and such. Big sledgehammer stuff is always there, depends if you feel desperate enough to use them. Depends how things go first...have to let some weeks play out....or at least a month. Then it...

Yup, because markets simply ask where is the underlying compensation coming from....i.e who pays for it. Turkish people (mid and long term wise especially)....that's who. New kind of bond/instrument and subsidy policy (to TL relative to forex) to patch over things is largely election driven...

May be dimly lit interior exercise setting nearby?

It is almost kind of a COTS add on (for customer). Embargo relates to the system as Turkey buys and integrates etc (from the countries that formerly sold them to Turkey). So now Turkey simply leaves it up to customer... Literally its same standardised set of data and power jack. If Germany...
