It is my humble opinion that China is simply trying to choke India in to giving concession on the much larger and more important CPEC project due it being constructed on Indian territory occupied by Pakistan and to degrade the BIMSTEC program. I see no other reason for them to be so belligerent for a remote Himalayan location. Please correct me if I am wrong.<br />Regards;<br />BROWN DESI BROWN DESInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-14939421462759823182017-07-27T05:30:00.957+05:302017-07-27T05:30:00.957+05:30Prasun, you had recently recommended Kallol Bhatta...Prasun, you had recently recommended Kallol Bhattacherjee's new book The Great Game. As a further take away from that area of discussion, Mahmud Ahmed's role supporting the Taliban as both an Army general and ISI head form an interesting part of this larger story. Here are some brief details on what has been uncovered so far on Ahmed.<br /><br />http://www.historycommons.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_911_timeline&the_isi:_a_more_detailed_look=mahmoodAhmed<br /><br />https://spectator.org/the-invisible-awan-brothers-scandal/<br />http://disobedientmedia.com/2017/06/awan-brothers-scandal-creates-fears-about-scope-of-data-leak/<br /><br />And something that has just come out of Washington. Pakistani Awan brothers may have compromised up to 80 US congressional members' data. One of them has recently tried to flee the country. I wonder if this data is now in Rawalpindi, ready to be auctioned to the highest bidder (read: Chinese, Arabs, or rogue 3rd party agents).<br /><br />Why are our submarines being docked in such a precarious location? What happened to plans to build two hardened SSN/SSBN bases, one along the Eastern seaboard and one along the Western seaboard? Wasn't the Eastern base (PROJECT VARSHA) supposed to be up by now (with provisions to eventually hold 12 SSN/SSBNs)?

https://t.co/iW8LpKpQAm?amp=1
"C...Hi Prasun,<br /><br />https://t.co/iW8LpKpQAm?amp=1<br /><br />"Confident with initial studies that show that the desi ‘Kaveri’ engine can be revived and turned around for fighter jet operations in a short time span, India has asked its French collaborators whether the power-pack of the engine can be further boosted to upgrade its fleet of Su-30 MKI fighters."<br /><br />My Grey matter can't decide who is more nuts- Mr Manu Pabby or the technocrats who have come up with this absolutely fantastic idea of real engining the Su-30mki with an uprated Kaveri. I mean I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Man come on. Leaving everything aside this idea of a 125 kN Kaveri to replace the 122 kN Al-31FP is the mark of a true genius. The thrust upgrade of 3 kN will work wonders for the Su-30's thrust to weight ratio, it's payload capacity and maneuverability. <br /><br />These guys have no clue what a big deal it is to install a new power plant into an airframe and flight test and certify it. Envelope extension, relighting tests, excetera. Not to mention whether the engine will be able to handle those mind numbing high alpha and the associated distorted airflow. There's a good solid reason astowhy the MiG-29 and Su-27 flanker family are capable of tail slides and all those post stall moves. Their power plants. And even updating an existing design which produces no more than 80 kN to above 120 kN isn't a walk in the park either. Then flight tests and certificates. <br /><br />These folds must be geniuses to have conceived such an idea. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Can you enlighten us on the latest status of the Fgfa. Whether this project will suffer from the same fate as MTA? If not when will the detailed design deal between UAC and Hal be inked and what are IAF's plans for the Pakfa?

It still has the Zhuk-M2E MMR with slotted-array antenna & no AESA-MMR. As for the Super Su-30MKI, Rosoboronexport State Corp states that there is no such p0roject in existence & anything pertaining to such a project exists only in India, i.e. HAL ^ DARE are attempting to conduct the Su-30MKI's deep upgrade without any Russian OEM involvement, meaning the Ruskies are pissed offf because India is seen to be violating Russian IPRs & taking a big risk whose liabilities won't be shared by Russia.<br /><br />To SANJEEV KUMAR: Who owns/administers the tejas FB page? ADA or HAL? And who is directing/executing the Tejas Mk.1A project, ADA or HAL? After acquiring answers to these, who will you be inclined to trust?<br /><br />To BHOUTIK: No need at all. The KZ-11 is an ASAT weapon disguised as a satellite launch rocket.<br /><br />To PARTHIV RAO: Physically destroying submarine optic-fibre cables or their shore-based gateways is not an option, since any such move will have severe international ramifications. On the other hand, physical destruction of domestic cvomms systems using such cables is perfectly legal during wartime. Prasun K.
