What kind of proof? Going by astronomical observations made in the Mahabharata, the war took place 8,000 years ago while the recently-discovered artifacts are only 4,000 years old.

In a hypothetical scenario, if an adversary is armed with S-400, how would brahmos fare against it?<br /><br />2. How would Shaurya fare against systems like S-500 and THAAD?<br /><br />3. I now understand how brahmos will be useful to navy in anti ship and land attack role and to IAF for attacks on AEWACS aircraft as well as on airbases. But I still don't understand how exactly the army will use brahmos. In the post on gagan shakti you had mentioned that IA will use brahmos against weapons storage sites, POL sites and transportation nodes. But in reply to my previous querry you said that hundreds of missiles will have to be used against the highly dispersed weapons storage sites. Wouldn't it be cost prohibitive to use so many missiles to take out just one dispersed storage site? Or are these highly dispersed storage sites of a different catagory than the ones IA will target?<br /><br />Thanks a lot.Prranshu Yadavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308292099680423827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-47858837884475245982018-06-09T13:41:23.886+05:302018-06-09T13:41:23.886+05:30Dear Sir

In Pakistan the term ‘Establishment’ denotes the military-bureaucracy/civil service combine. 2) Those steps were long overdue, because neither the Holy Quran nor the Al Hadis says anything about or prescribing the wearing of Burqas or Hijabs. In fact, the terms Burqa & Hijab don’t even find any mention in any Muslim religious text. All that is prescribed for women/ladies in the Holy Quran is that they should be attired decently & that their bosoms/breasts & vaginal area should not be exposed & must always be covered, that’s it. The custom of wearing the ‘Chaddar/Chador’ around oneself originated from Persia & Mesopotamia, where such covering cloth was used for protecting oneself from duststorms/sandstorms. There was never a religious reqmt for wearing such covering shrounds. The habit of wearing Burqas & Hijabs was introduced much much later by religiosity-inspired bigots. The Austrian crackdown is the same as the crackdowns since the early 1990s in all Central Asian Republics & in Xinjiang & this is for the sake of preventing the espousal of religiosity-based distortions. There’s no such thing as ‘Political Islam, since Islam is only about universal brotherhood like any other religion & there’s nothing political about any religion. In fact, by using the term ‘political’ one is only trying to legitimise the distortions that the Imams & Maulanas worldwide often use in order to derive legitimacy & play with the emotions of the common people. This is exactly what has been happening in almost all Mosques within the Kashmir Valley since the late 1980s through the Friday Khutbaas (sermons) that have always inflamed the passions of the listeners. So, Austria is today doing only that which the UK did in the mid-1990s & which China has been doing in Xinjiang for the past 25 years at least. Even in countries like Malaysia & Indonesia, the weekly Khutbaas have to be vetted & cleared by concerned Ministries before thay can be read out publicly every Friday noontime. And not just the Parsis, even the Dawoodi Bohra micro-minority community have never been targetted during any communal disturbances to date. <br /><br />Now listen to all the illegal land allotmemts made by Gen Musharraf in the previous decade in order to secure the loyalty of his colleagues: <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXekwyZE7Sc&t=17s<br /><br />BTW, his full name is SYED PERVEZ MUSHARRAF!<br /><br />To ASHISH GAUTAM: What you’re suggested tantamount to genocide being committed by the state. Dhanush-52 is the original Bofors FH-77B design but with a 155mm/52-cal barrel & mounted on a BEML/TATRA truck, whereas the ATAGS is a brand-new design whose IPR is owned not by Bofors, but by the DRDO. <br />Prasun K.

The M-777’s barrel was damaged & a new barrel has since been fitted, so the numbers stay the same as ordered. The 414 Dhanush-45s will replace the existing Bofors FH-77BLO39s & therefore at least another 100 Dhanush-45s will be ordered, taking the total to 514. The MGS of Dhanush-52 shown in DEFEXPO 2018 is now in trial production for producing 6 prototypes that is mandatory for conducting user-evaluations. This lesson was learnt during Dhanush-45’s developmental process & now it will be possible to try out the Dhanush-52 MGS that is fully integrated with the Shakti fire-direction/command-control system, thereby reducing the evaluations time-period. Lastly, the IA’s Integrated Field Evaluations team will include reps from IA HQ’s Directorate of Field Artillery, Directorate of Signals & the Master-General Ordnance Branch weho will concurrently conduct the user evaluations. This will save more time since for Dhanush-45 all these were done sequentially & were therefore time-consuming. The initial Batteries of K-9 Vajras will be delivered by L & T by this August & they will formally be inducted into service by this October after demonstrating their integration with the Shakti ACCS. Work on ATAGS is now unbderway to reduce its all-up weight from 20 tonnes to about 16 tonnes. This will be achieved by 2020. <br /><br />To TUSHAR: LoLz! Utter baloneym utrter boulderdash & utter rubbish. The RBI’s security features for new Rs.500 & Rs.2,000 notes are totally different from those on older Rs.500 & Rs.1,000 currency notes. Hence, no one will go for such brain-dead exercises, rest assured. <br /><br />To VIKRAM GUHA: The MoD’s announcement has not stated that the ACVs will be ‘Made in India’. Only the 12 HPRs will be ‘Made in India’. As for Griffon 8000TD hovercraft of the ICGS, they were all licence-assembled by GRSE & now GSL too has entered the fray & one of its posters at DEFEXPO 2018 said that GSL too was prepared for licence-assembling the Griffon 8000TD hovercraft. The ACVs are different as they can carry men & armoured vehicles, which the Griffon 8000TD cannot.Prasun K.

GSAT-6A was more for ground forces comms using SATCOM & also for providing secure 4-G cellular phone networks & tactical internet networks so that the IA could have some credible force-multiplier battlefield situational awareness networks in place despite the absence of the new-gen tactical comms system (TCS) & battlespace management system (BMS)—facts which the usual ‘desi’ patrakaars’ are ignorant about since they are 1) not tech-savvy; & 2) they just don’t bother to talk to the DRDO techies & BEL’s marketeers during expos like DEFEXPO & AERO INDIA. I have the systems architecture diagram of various elements of the OODA loop of both the IA & IAF & will upload it in the thread that will be part-2 of the ‘Decoding the IAF’s EXS Gaganshakti 2018’. And judging by the vast expanse of the IOR, what thye IN requires are both turboprop-poweredf UAS as well as turbofan-powered UAS. Sadkym however, neither the DRDO nor HAL have carried out any conceptual studies in these areas, despite HAL spending money on developing turshaft engines & turbofans. 2) Thje mini-submarine designs are frozen by L Y T & they are now awaiting final clearance by the IN, following which their fabrication will begin. They should roll out from 2022 onwards. These will be standalone SSKs used only by MARCOS for covert surveillance, tapping of underwater comms cables on the seabed in coastal areas, & covert insertion/exfiltration of SOF personnel. 3) There are no next-gen FFGs on the drawing boards. But it will be logical to expect that if the next-gen DDGs carry LACMs, then the next-gen FFGs will do so too. If you observe the scale-model of the P-17A FFG, it is actually a scaled-down P-15B DDG. The new-gen volume-search radar for the IN can easily be am L-band variant of the Arudhra. And for integrated masts, BEL & THALES are co-developing the PHAROS:<br /><br />https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nAtJO1FQZr8/Vv8ICyfOZfI/AAAAAAAAKgE/quEX65broPgoxe-7JU45QUC5NB0C9wOHA/s1600/BEL-THALES%2BPHAROS%2BMFR.jpg<br /><br />To ASHISH GAUTAM: Heres a slide on MAREEM AIP module as shown at DEFEXPO 2016:<br /><br />https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fA-x1idqFzE/Vv8LKSO0nYI/AAAAAAAAKiM/Lhwz6ZBTZ54muE9Br697rEq3iR9VHqXzw/s1600/L%2B%2526%2BT-developed%2BAIP%2BModule.jpg<br /><br />To ASHISH GAUTAM & NEWCOMER: As for J & K the problems asre far more deeper & serious & I will do a detailed thread about it which will explain everything, especially those matters since the early 1980s about which the present-day generation of Indian citizens seem to be unbaware of.<br /><br />To JASSS GILL: First two Ckass 209/Type 1500 SSKs have already been upgraded with ATLAS Elektronik’s ISUS-90 combat management system & sensor suite along with UGM-84A Harpoon ASCMs. All data pertaining to all of IN’s SSKs can be found here:<br /><br />http://trishul-trident.blogspot.com/2016/06/drdo-developed-bdl-built-varunastra-hwt.html <br /><br />To ANNON: The IWT-related wailing & whinning is inconsequential & won’t have any international takers.

In fact, these SSKs are the only ones in the world for which their OEM, HDW of Germany, developed special 650mm torpedo-tubes that can launch long-range cruise missile like the Delilah or Popeye with extra booster for increased range. 2) It was the seizure of a few villkages by the combined Afghan & Pakistani Taliban. How could they have bypassed the PA’s so-called checkposts is anyone’s guess. As for the marginalized Muslim communities throughout India, I had advocated years ago the concept of empowering the Waqf Boards on a pan-India scale by creating central trusteeships (unlike the powerless & sychophantic personal law boards) that are above-board & are universally respected, i.e. led, guided, mentored & administered by edminent personalities like Azim Premji etc etc who can run such Boards as just a publivly-listed company or a MNC. If this were to be done, there will be no dearth of money for catering to community reqmts in arenas loike education, job creation & vertical social mobility. This SOP is reqd because unlike in other communities, the Muslim communities have sadly not produced any transformational social reformers since the past 200 years like a Raja Ram Mohan Roy or Vinoba Bhave. Therefore, the State needs to step in here in concert with prominent & enlightened members of the country’s Muslim community to set the agenda & objectives that are meant fir universal good. In this respect, the Dawoodi Bohra micro-minority community has already taken the lead & much more can be done to make India’s Muslims self-confident & self-assured & be made to stand on their own feet without recourse to any financial dole-outs or appeasements. The day this fructifies, all the socio-economic insecurities & lack of self-esteem will vanish & the Indian Muslims will have every reason to invest in India’s growth story & all aspects of national security, kindly rest assured. But for all this to happen, India requires a genuine ‘Neta’ who can set such an agenda & steer the course with nationwide cionsensus.<br /><br />To SBM: VMT. Yes, these are multifunction HPRs that can track all kinds of medium-altitude & high-altitude airborne targets. And the FIRST such endeavour was always right in front of our very eyes, i.e. the island of Project 71/IAC-1/Vikrant, which hosts a six-antenna array of the EL/M-2248 MF-STAR. Had the reqmt been only for early-warning of manned airborne platforms, then the four-antenna arry like that on Project 15A/15B DDGs would have sufficed atop the aircraft carrier’s island. But why the six-antenna array? Answer: to provide early-warning of inbound MRBMs & IRBMs loike the DF-21D & DF-26 (they aren’t hittile ASBMs, rest assured), which are armed with EMP-generating warheads & are meant for use against carrier battle-groups. In the same way, the land-based, static version of EL/M-2247 MF-STAR will be similar in design to the island of IAC-1, with a six-antenna APAR array for providing early-warning & tracking of BMs of various types & their MIRVs. And there is also another kind of configuration meant for monitoring BM test-flights, i.e. the S-band MOTR of ISRO, a variant of which will be shipborne & that vessel is now fitting out at HSL in Vizag. <br /><br />Here’s the ‘Made-in-India antenna array for APAR that can be up=scaled or down-scaled: <br /><br />http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2F14gdfweu8/URPGB_7oPqI/AAAAAAAADy4/q3chY1i2MJw/s1600/DSC01362.JPGPrasun K.
