A very mundane over-used "herding" of the sheep I see worldwide...and they keep falling for it because lack of understanding and higher perspective. More broadly, one must never merge matters of faith to matters of rational existence....it is basic step to seeing bigger picture. It is the...

combined with (earlier posted): Given what I have mentioned in a few posts, can another member analyse this now (and similar posts comparing 2021 to 2020) a bit deeper? (it is easy, just give it a try) The first step is to look at the earlier numbers achieved in previous years (across the...

ADE project under DRDO nahi? It is stated as such on the letterhead... ADE: https://www.drdo.gov.in/labs-and-establishments/aeronautical-development-establishment-ade IMO its fine to call it UAV instead of UCAV. UCAV will be one (major) variant of it....but the ecosystem at large will be...

Pity to see Shoaib treated like that....I remember that era of cricket (he was part of at his prime) quite fondly. I distinctly remember rushing home from school, switching the telly on (or joining dad) and watching if sachin could handle shoaib on that day hehe....days like the 99 and 03 world...

This was a user trial so hence the regular deployed design. We have all seen the slide presentation with the MIRV concept by now I am sure.....fairing and all. Compact stubby ICBM ecosystem will definitely be priority given that is where the focus must lie (to assure maximum return on...

The dutch navy visit went well @T-123456 :

Yah it is my personal take in the end. What %'s I gleam (underlying attitude wise) in chat with intelligentsia of both countries. What is talked about, how its talked about and why its talked about. How many (IMO) are supportive of the bad (lost causes I generally have no further use for...

Thoughts on indian economy export situation right now as part of larger reply (can check out context etc with the quote arrow).

https://www.business-standard.com/article/economy-policy/china-plus-one-to-push-indian-textile-exports-to-65-bn-by-2026-study-121102700962_1.html Surge is likely to generate 7.5-10 million new jobs Backed by the 'China Plus One' sentiment globally, India’s textile exports is expected to grow...

Turkey IMO, has enough within it to see it through and recover. Previous underlying inertias matter a lot. Pakistan w.r,t Zia's legacy (given the still-formative juncture it got him in and the context + duration) is sadder ongoing spectre.

Yes services is very different sector to goods.....it does not need many imported inputs for production (energy a base input might be one, but there are few others in consistent basis) hence near 100% of it is value added stuff basically. Whereas lot of manufactures = import + value added =...

Doing this (very rough) exercise for Turkey to add some (macro) numbers to what @UkroTurk 🚬 @Sinan @xenon5434 @Saithan and others have been saying in this thread: Last 10 years (oct 2011 to oct 2021): USD to Turkish Lira went from 1.74 to 9.5 (TL depreciated 5.5 times - similar if you use REER...

Yup I expect this year total services export (not just software) to be around 230 billion USD...a new record....with software (IT) making the majority. On goods side, India also will see a record year...it will break 400 billion USD level for first time. So total exports will be around 630...

Yes it seems to have changed in 2020 and maybe for 2021 too. I took data from 2019 (OEC)....so amount we got from Australia afterwards seems to have dropped and INA remain the same or more. I suppose India has more long term contracts with Indonesian coal. I remember PM Vajpai visit in early...

Minimalist design....since its just single warhead. It is similar with number of minuteman series. Ogive fairing is just one more thing that can go wrong....so I guess they chose not to have it till its proper MIRV.

Inflation and depreciation are correlated but they are nowhere near 1:1. The basic difference in that a country does not trade the exact composition of things that it produces (and same goes for other countries). Besides, your understanding on some matters is poor...

Heh....totally forgot about that one, I repressed it good (after first hearing about it way back and just going : uhhh NO!). Its ratings tho.....2.5 out of 10 on imdb....didn't know ratings went that low lmao. If you gonna live action something, it has to be live action from get go. I...
