    Biden says Pakistan may be ‘one of the most dangerous nations in the world’

    Are you seriously drawing a parallel between what some fanboys do on Twitter and that which is adopted as official policy by the Govt? Because this is what Pakistan did under PTI govt: Imagine saying territories you never even claimed since 1947 are now yours and then making them official map...

    Biden says Pakistan may be ‘one of the most dangerous nations in the world’

    Not to mention putting a nuclear delivery system in the hands of a Brigade commander is a recipe for disaster. This on top of the nuclear arsenal having zero civilian control or oversight. The Army junta is still in control of everything, not the "elected" government. Lets not forget this is...

    Biden says Pakistan may be ‘one of the most dangerous nations in the world’

    The problem with Biden is that you can never know when something he says is a result of a policy decision and when it's the dementia talking. I also heard that there was a resolution tabled in the House that seeks to recognise the 1971 Genocide of Bangladeshis. Something tells me the US is not...

    I was just editing the post LOL. Read now. Yes - Fincantieri is a consultant and it's very apparent that it's a DDX-based design, there's quite some changes though. Currently the plan seems to be for 5 ships.

    Interesting tid bits from this promotional video of Next-Generation Combat Management System (ostensibly intended for NGD and NGF programs): Could this be a conceptual render of the 10,000-13,000 ton NGD, unofficially known as the Project-18 DDG? Few observations: This is definitely...

    Japan India vows to back Japan's plan to develop 'Counter-Strike' capabilities aimed at China

    As I said, if at all there is cooperation in the nuclear weapons field, it will not be in terms of supply of material - Japan has enough of that. It would be in terms of offering infrastructure for off-site cold testing. The Japanese public is not likely to be okay with testing close to cities...

    Japan India vows to back Japan's plan to develop 'Counter-Strike' capabilities aimed at China

    My comments: While the terms 'counter-strike' and 'counter-value' are invariably linked to nuclear weapons in any other context, it appears that at least so far the Japanese are only hinting at a conventional long-range strike capability with cruise missiles. The procurement in question is...

    The production of TRMs may yet be subcontracted to Astra. But the final integrator of the radar is definitely going to be HAL - they beat out BEL for the contract.
