    In any case, a small batch might be fine, just to work out proof of concept and develop some doctrines with our mountain divisions. If it works out well (compare to just arming our boys with AT guns + more sensors), then India definitely should look to make a local optimised system. But it...

    TR Air-Force TF-X KAAN Fighter Jet

    Yes more limited production run of F-22 so less capital investment and RnD to achieve single piece. The subcontractor was Wyman-Gordon. Some useful examples (using 35k ton press rather than 50k ton one) can be found in the middle pages here...

    Breaking News Trump protesters clashing with US capitol police

    What does revolution even mean then? 1947 was just a conclusion of something far longer. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/revolution The one I was going for: 2a: a sudden, radical, or complete change b: a fundamental change in political organizationespecially : the overthrow or...

    The British Raj and German Reich compared.

    It is going off topic (I mean cassus belli only when there is an actual revolution that sets up the nationstate). I don't see how that goes towards British colonisation (colonies were not independent nationstates) nor the Reich's racist-driven expansion paradigm (which was broken up just like...

    So much I agree in this analysis...but you did the trademark yankeestani onelongsentencethatneverends thing again heh.

    Breaking News Trump protesters clashing with US capitol police

    This is spot on. With lefties you can gauge their true finger to the wind honesty by if they caught on quickt w,r,t media garbage about "Russia" etc and how that was already being used to silence folks on the left at the time. It really is litmus test to see if someone is neo-lib. Dore...

    Breaking News Trump protesters clashing with US capitol police

    This is again getting into things too specifically. Specifics do matter its true, fuel to the flames and all that. But the flames were already there, they were not embers as they once were. Yes. World would be far saner place if far more people could apply this.

    The British Raj and German Reich compared.

    OK. So the answer lies there. It is matter of setting up the principles as best as can be so that however flawed the interpretation of them may be at their formation, they offer the widest latitude for correction downstream. By inserting religious majoritarianism as the cassus-belli right...

    Hawker hunter "blue note most famous (at right conditions): You mention Vulcan which is also well known. F-18 also known to make this sound: It indeed is related to intake resonance dynamics w.r.t velocity combined with doppler effect (relative to where you are recording). Similar to how...

    Did Huawei ever invent anything?

    If the Germans didnt want them stolen, pro-tip: don't start a global war (by invading neighbours in all directions) and do genocide on top too (thus prompting foreign intervention, total defeat and those that defeated you ensuring you never do it again). As for historical knowledge flow, that...
