Damn look at what just one dude does: I enjoyed this comment: World : Trying to make a vaccine Japan : Getting prepared for the real stuff =================== This particular one reminds me of grimlock from transformers though.... I always liked Grimlock (probably the most actually lol...

Australian Ambassador to India Barry O’Farrell said that only India can satisfy the world’s demand for Covid-19 vaccines. His comments come after the Indian government took foreign diplomats to vaccine labs for briefing. He said, “There are many vaccines being produced in countries around the...

This is precisely what would have been aided if IN went with N-LCA to augment Mig-29K We could have hosted USN in real life environment to see things for themselves up close...past the initial carrier operation trial. Will be interesting to watch regardless. Its a pretty bold move...and USN is...

I bet @Sinan already watched this heh.

Do we know roughly how soon to this level? I believe right now its approaching 1% level. So 1.5% level by like 2025 or sooner or later?

Thing is all these other parties like the "West" you complain about all have significant power sections within them that call out their issues, concerns and mistakes...and often vote new govts to deal with them (then we debate how successful and unsuccesful they are on it). They are credible...

I think this thread is a good a thread as any to bring up fiscal matter for all these programs (airforce being the most visible, but also navy and army have big ticket plans I have seen). Up to about 2018 - 2019, the Indonesian military budget was around 7 - 8 billion dollar level (by SIPRI...

I get your point. But these days (post cold war) there is not much difference....not much grey middle ground. i.e there is no point to recognition of state (step A) but not having diplomatic relations (step B). India followed A but not B (except for an Israeli consulate in Bombay) during the...

This thread concerning all war material (w.r.t India history) to be put here. Strictly no trolling and all posts must follow the forum rules. There was an issue with trolling within previous thread started on 1971...so it was deleted. No country-bashing. Please delineate difference between a...

The thread is for some reason under "Navy"....maybe we should move to general main section? Air defence governs all defence services.

Well it all balances out in trade (and investment)....even if you have surplus with US and Europe etc, it is balanced by deficits with other countries (that help their surplus pressure to buy more from US and Europe in their case)....as USD does not experience huge conversion rate in forex (it...

We don't even know how many systems this is. It could literally be just few dozen trial. If its a trial, it really doesnt matter who gets it lol. We don't know how good it is and will be or worth investing in it more. That all has to be aired out over some time by field trials.....any service...

You aren't the point, so it doesnt matter if you see it or not. Given how the CCP reacts to things already and of far smaller significance, it is the point for them to see...rather than the regular laypeople like you. Going forward, CCP hypocrites very likely dont get to continue business as...

Last I heard Iran was saying its a satellite-linked remote operated gun or something. The initial story was it was a hit team on motorbikes I think that surrounded the car and shot it up. Where is this going? Its all so weird.

We come from different political sides of the spectrum, but he always cracks me up, I like his plain take on things haha:

We're more chill down south...
