What has been imposed by ...To SUJOY MAJUMDAR: LoLz! What has been imposed by KSA & the UAE is a trade embargo, & not a BLOCADE. Embargoes are imposed voluntarily, whereas a blocade is enforced coersively. Hence, the idea behind the embargo was to impose financial costs on Qatar, & not to starve the country to death, since Qater used to depend entirely on land-based & seaborne supplies from the KSA & the UAE.<br /><br />To KAPIL: 2 reasons: First, 'desi' patrakaars have remarkably short memories & are also loathe to do some decent homework; & Second, it is Russia that has insisted on the enforcement of the strictest non-disclosure terms & conditions. India therefore has no other choice but to comply. Prasun K.

So, technically, if India links up with Russia’s roadmap via Chabahar in Iran, then India automatically also becomes a part of the BRI, although this will not tantamount to a direct endorsement of the BRI. 2) There were 2 reasons: First, there was no clarity on what target to hit from the air, i.e. whether to strike the sprawling, 50-acre office in Shiwai Nala (called Baitul Mujahideen or the HQ of Freedom Fighters) in Muzaffarabad that is shared by the LeT & United Jihad Council, or the training camps in Ummal Kura and Sirikot in the foothills of Muzaffarabad. <br /><br />This is the Baitul Mujahideen from where Zaki ur-Rehman lakhvi was nabbed by Pakistan’s FIA: <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDRd0HrNurg<br /><br />Second, at that time the India PMO was still harbouring hopes of reviving the 4-point peace formula with Pakistan, even though the then civilian govt of Pakistan had in its National Assembly clearly declared all decisions/laws enacted by the Musharraf regime as being null & void & non-binding. This despite the fact that experienced diplomats like Shyam Saran were at that time clearly outlining that the 4-point formula as suggested by Musharraf had specified a lifespan of only 15 years following which a referendum was to be held in both J & K and PoK, i.e. Pakistan was trying to reach the point of holding a plebiscite without first fulfilling the UNSC-mandated pre-conditions that called for Pakistan vacating its occupation of PoK. This has since been explained in some detail by Shyam Saran in his latest book. This shows how woolly-headed the decision-makers of the UPA-1/-2 govts were in terms of strategic visioning. 3) No, not true. PAF personnel in both Qatar & the UAE are employed there on contract strictly as non-combatant instructors. And now whether Qatare is under an embargo imposed by Saudi Arabia & the UAE, it is India that is supplying most of the perishable commodities for consumption by Qatar’s population. So don’t expect Qatar to piss off India in any manner.<br /><br />To SBM: This writer of pulp-fiction novels doesn not even know that Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders had built not 1, but 2 Class 209/Type 1500 SSKs & INS Kalvari is the 3rd SSK to be built by MDSL:<br /><br />http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/ins-kalvari-to-be-commissioned-today-but-indian-navy-s-sub-sea-power-is-below-par/story-p9HgIlur02kqhxYr5IBteL.html<br /><br />The IN’s Project 76 is more than 2 decades old in terms of paperwork & it calls for building SSKs out of designs whose IPRs will be India-owned & it is for gaining such design expertise that the IN had wished to acquire under Project 75I a total of 6 SSKs of a design that will be India-specific & therefore the IN will be the owner of that hull-design but not the IPRs of the barious on-board sub-systems. <br /><br />And as for which HWTs will go on-board the Scorpenes, do read the interviews of the IN’s senior officials in the December 2017 issue of FORCE, where it is explained how the competitive procurement process of HWTs for such SSKs is proceeding. So, as of now, no SUT or Sea Hake, rest assured.Prasun K.

As for maturity, I’, all for proving that Pakistan is the greatest creation on Earth since the advent of Peanut Butter onkly if it can now start its nuclear sabre-rattling against the US by threatening to use nuclear WMDs against the US & Israel for the sake of securing independence for the Palestinians, thereby proving that Pakistan indeed is the only Muslim country in the world that towers above all other Muslim countries & that Pakistan therefore is far more Muslim & Islamic than all other members of the Muslim Ummah. Pakistan also ought to empower Hafiz Saeed to start torching all US diplomatic missions inside Pakistan as a warning to the US. <br /><br />But the sad truth is that despite all the shouting about the Kashmir issue, no one from the OIC even bothered to mention it this time again, only 22 heads of govt attending the OIC Summit in Istanbul, Saudi Arabia, Egypt & the UAE did not send their heads of state, somehow the Venezuelan President (Loooolllllzzzz!) was present there, & President Erdogan who supports Qatar was humiliated by the absence of the Saudi & UAE rulers. And a Pakistani heads the ‘Islamic’ counter-terror military alliance that is making life hell for the orfinary Yemeni citizens, while Shia Iran is now poised to become the moral/military supporter for the Palestinian cause by supporting Hamas & Hezbollah & this in turn will transform southern Lebanon into a living hell thanks to the Israelis & Saudis & Iran will seek ways of retaliating by creating even far more mayhem inside Balochistan & perhaps even inside Gilgit-Baltistan. On top of all this, the Pakistani Rs has lost its value by Rs.7 against the US$ while the residents of FATA are rising up in arms yet again, but this time against a Pakistani federal govt that refuses to mainstream FATA. So, all in all, against this backdrop, India looks pretty much cozy & far more mature. As for Pakistan-bashing inside India, well, democracy in a welfare state is a noisy process/system & therefore this is nothing to be ashamed of.Prasun K.

Half of those PLA personnel are from the construction corps for building new trackways & the rest for the Royal Bhutan Army to vacate their observation posts so that the PLA can illegally occupy them. Here’s the update on PLA track-construction (not roads) activity in the Chumbi Valley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94mSWWjaWQk<br /><br />No ‘secret’ test-firings of ballistic missiles can be carried out if they are conducted from land out to the sea in international airspace. Therefore, both India & Pakistan issue NOTAMS one week before any such test-firing is scheduled & both also inform one another as per a bilateral agreement. Only if test-firings are carried out inland (which only China & Russia can do due to theior massive landmass) can they be kept unreported, but never a secret since space-based early warning satellites of the US, Russia & China can easily detect them. <br /><br />And finally, kindly do not forget this & don’t ask me this again: For the record, INS Arihant has the pennant no of S-73 & this SSBN was formally commissioned into service on August 26, 2016. <br /><br />To PRRANSHU YADAV: That’general belief’ is totally wrong & delusional & strangely persists only in the minds of several South Asians. If thie belief were was reality, then why does 70% of all Indian military hardware originate from Russia? And if your PoV about India deciding on the Rafale instead of US-origin platforms, then how come for the Tejas LCA India opted for the F414 turbofan from the US, LM-2500 gas turbines for the Project 17 FFGs & C-17As & AH-64Es from the US?Prasun K.

Otherwise if that supplying country suddenly decides to stop maintenance support for any reason than the entire fleet of the customer country will suffer. Isn't it true that one reason why rafale was selected in MMRCA competition is because France had continued to support India's mirage fleet even after the 1998 nuclear tests while US had imposed sanctions?<br /><br />But speaking of financial viability of a diverse fleet, I can't think of an air force as diverse as our own. With Su-30MKI, rafale, mig-29, mirage, Jaguar, mig-27, mig-21, Tejas, it literally looks like an airplane zoo.

So relax & don’t be perturbed by such sensational reports that smack of yellow journalism<br /><br />To GANESH: Interesting read:<br /><br />http://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/why-india-needs-to-protect-its-technology-companies/story-7DmBCVD7hrM0BjTLjrtg6I.html<br /><br />As for this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WGC4EoqkBs&t=93s) what no one is answering is, if this gathering was only of retired politicians & diplomats of both India & Pakistan, then what the hell was the Pakistani High Commissioner to India doing in this gathering? Why was he invited & who invited him? And why does this Kasuri fella get invited in the first place when he for the past 3 years has been spewing venom against India in every Pakistani TV talk-show? And why do some Indian politicians & ex-diplomats get nostalgic about the now-discredited 4-Point Formula put forth by Gen Musharraf when it was NEVER designed to reach a permanent solution to the J & K issue, & which was subverted in 2008 by Gen Kayani with the active support of all Pakistani political parties when they in 2008 unanimously declared that all decisions taken by the illegal military regime of Gen Musharraf were henceforth null & void (watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Buq_IcqI7ng).

The answer is simple: If the Tejas Mk.1 & Mk.1A are both sub-optimal in air combat, then how can they be regarded as optimal solutions for rendering battlefield air interdiction? Won’t such aircraft be equally vulberable for either mission (air combat & battlefield air interdiction) because in both cases they will be facing opposition from both enemy combat aircraft & AAA networks? The logical solution therefore is two-fold: development of the optimal LCA-AF Mk.2 for both counter-air & tactical interdiction missions; & doctrinal amendments which mandate that the IAF will not be responsible for battlefield air interdiction.close air-support & instead the IA’s Aviation Corps will be responsible & will therefore have to be equipped with large numbers of helicopters like LUH, Rudra & the LCH. And this is because historically, it has been proven to be impossible to deliver close air-support when it is reqd the most. In fact, the IA refers to this reqmt as immediate air-support. So, while an IAF aircraft will take anything between 45 minutes or 6 hours to render such supportibe firepower (because it inevitably takes a long time to process such requests for support through various command levels), attack helicopters are always deployed with ground fighting formations & can therefore be rapidly employed as first responders for delivering fire-assaults with either ATGMs or with air-to-ground rockets. Now, if this were to happen, then the IAF will no longer require the quantum of combat aircraft reqd for undertaking battlefield air interdiction missions for immediate air-support & all its existing Jaguar IS/DARIN-3 will be able for tactical interdiction missions, while the Rafales & Su-30MKIs will be dedicated for deep interdiction/air dominance missions. So, in the end, it all boild down to a mix-n-match strategy: acquisition of 180 LUHs, 120 Rudras & 180 LCHs by the IA’s Aviation Corps will give the IA the offensive firepower equal to that of 2 armoured divisions, but with the added advantage of vertical envelopment (i.e. encircling enemy ground formations & subjectinbg them to multi-directional attacks) & rapid response. <br /><br />To RAD: If Indian shipyards can fabricate 39,000-tonne IACs & 200,000-tonne VLCTs, then where’s the complication for building 25,000-tonne SSBNs? After all, the design is Russian & it comes as a certified & tested product & therefore there are ZERO risks in terms of the boat’s performance or safety. The IN will not confirm any names until the time the SSBN is ready to join service. Meanwhile, amphibian aircraft operations are getting the long-awaited boost:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpVLX4tZgVI<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYrHi7zgF1c<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OQ8jpHUD3E<br /><br />Quest Kodiak Amphibian uses Ethanol & not Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF)<br /><br />https://questaircraft.com/kodiak/<br /><br />https://questaircraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/QuestKodiak_DealerVersion_lowrez_FINAL-Rev.1_July2016.pdf<br /><br />And before anyone asks, although HAL is trying to develop an amphibian version of the Do-228, it will have to overcome 2 challenbges: 1) development of a turboshaft engine that runs on Ethanol, 2) getting it certified by EASA or FAA, without which the DGCA won’t issue an endorsing certificate of airworthiness & no company will provide hull insurance coverage for such an uncertified aircraft. Prudence therefore suggests that HAL team up with Japan-based OEMs to co-develop a fully certified engine that runs on Ethanol as this will reduce the direct operating costs of the aircraft by a significant margin & make air operations affordable. Once this happens, then there’s a gigantic captive marklet throughout India for such amphibian aircraft.Prasun K.

It is very...Thanks for sharing that with me Prasun. It is very well intentioned and could work but for one major problem - the nexus between Islamic extremism and organized crime in Trinidad. Almost all the fighters who went to Syria from Trinidad were either influenced by or directly recruited by elements in the Afro-Trinidadian Islamic community linked to criminal elements. De-radicalization presents a challenge because of the fact that re-radicalization is so readily available via several of the country's 85 mosques. To date neither the police Special Branch nor the Strategic Services Agency (Trinidad's intelligence agency) have the resources, leadership or foresight to monitor and where necessary intervene in situations where radicalization is being encouraged.sbmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090918961831389673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-71475775964063270682017-12-12T17:37:51.088+05:302017-12-12T17:37:51.088+05:30hi prasun

Do you think Tejas(any version) will see action in coming day's(any time soon)..!! are they capable enough..!! IAF say they are under powered and your view is also the same I too think so.. <br />But they can be used for CAS operation's because IAF has no other economically good option's Do they..?Newcomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812299879949285404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-39103178604606111932017-12-12T12:33:07.370+05:302017-12-12T12:33:07.370+05:30Interesting read: https://www.amazon.in/Chinas-Ind...Interesting read: https://www.amazon.in/Chinas-India-War-Collision-Course/dp/0199475555<br /><br />To DrJBL: Have already posted my observations above in my reply to JOYDEEP GHOSH.<br /><br />To SBM: ISIS 5.0 in Trinidad & Tobago https://www.quilliaminternational.com/will-they-return-isis-5-0-in-trinidad-and-tobago-dr-muhammad-fraser-rahim/Prasun K.
