Pakistan cannot be brought in unless India also agrees to let participate in any BRICS+ Summit. India can always create its own maritime silk roads with both the GCC member-states, & also with the Central Asian Republics via Iran, as I had already explained earlier. OBOR & CPEC are symbiotic visions & will never be mutually beneficial. Rather, they will benefit only China’s economy & will reduce all others into vassal-like states, like Laos & Cambodia are today & Pakistan will very very soon end up as. No one can change the UN-recognised & UNSC-sanctioned resolution on J & K which explicitly states that PoK is an integral part of India. Have already explained why is this so several times before. <br />Prasun K.

But it seems your replies are much more clear and understanding than so many of these articles that are being published on daily basis.<br /><br />Coming to the question, did China play a masterstroke by proposing brics plus summit. With this it can bring in its allies including Pakistan into this exclusive forum, reduce importance of other 4, especially India and make it more China centric like SCO?<br /><br />Also, what can India do to change this narrative presented that, if India does not join OBOR, it will be at a huge loss. How successful can OBOR / CPEC be without Indian participation?<br /><br />Will we ever get g&b? Seems China is hell bent on making a viable counter to India. What is India doing to not be bracketed back with Pakistan?<br /><br />Regards, <br />Srinivasa NanduriSrinivasa Nandurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12750241980789594561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-76570880780447591692017-03-09T01:04:38.890+05:302017-03-09T01:04:38.890+05:30Prasunda,

Tests of MIRVs would be complete by 2020-21, followed by GoI approval for deploying the system. Correct ? <br /><br />2) Or would A-5 deployment happen only around 2027 along with the SLBM ? <br /><br />3) In the mean time, there is a vulnerability against the Pak/China combination, unless the Agni -4 's are rapidly produced in large numbers.

Whay he meant was that he was awaiting the GoI’s approval, which won’t come until the MIRVs are tested & validated not just for the Agni-5, but for the SLBM as well.<br /><br />To OLD MONK: The ASMP uses BOTH: na solid-propellant booster & liquid-fuelled ramjets. The LRCM has adoptred a similar design concept.<br /><br />To JOYDEEP GHOSH: VMT. 3) Not GSL, But Reliance Defence. 4) You will get to read about it tonight. <br /><br />To KUNAL/UNKNOWN: None of the world’s religious texts deal with policy-matters of a state or civic administration. They were never meant to. Instead, they all serve as universal guidelines for ethical/moral codes of conduct. As such, Hinduism/Hindutva should be interpreted as a way of life without any religious undertones. That’s how most of us will look at it, barring those who seek to exploit it for malicious motives by introducing the element of religiosity (as the self-styled Yogis & Sadhvis have done) & they have always done this only for the sake of garnering economic & political power. This always inevitably takes the form of cultural nationalism that can never be implemented in any present-day nation-state, but only in the civilization states of yesteryears. It’s like mixing petrol with diesel & is therefore a destructive & discredited practice. For instance, just try to convince the southern Indians that Rama was the hero while Ravana was the villian & you will see the result for yourself. Therefore, in any culturally heterogeneous society there’s no room for any form of cultural nationalism of the type being propagated by the likes of VHP/RSS etc etc. In the era of nation-states, the Constitution of the land is the only document that serves as the ultimate guarantor of one’s rights, privileges, responsibilities & obligations. <br /><br />To THE ENGDOC SOCIETY: 1 & 2) All these had been extensively discussed in previous threads. 3) They all have distinct roles to play & therefore one cannot be a replacement for another. 4) Different countries have different types of accounting practices. What matters far more is the pace & spectrum of armed forces modernisation efforts.Prasun K.

Regarding the video...@ Prasoon K Sengupta 08:10 PM<br /><br />Regarding the video clips I had gone through them earlier and also have come across other video clips regarding this rabble rousing. But I also observe that these so called yogis like yogi Adityanath who were spewing venom in 2014, were commanded to keep their mouths shut failing which disciplinary action would have been initiated against them. Results are for people to see. Same was applied on Varun Gandhi, another rabble rouser, who in the UP elections has been silently side-lined. Had RSS and its affiliates subscribed to rabble rousing as a theology, none of the above creatures (and their likes) would have been side-lined. Now you may rightfully have another opinion about a more rigorous way of side-lining them, but thats subjective depending on who the boss is. So I doubt whether there is any tacit approval at present. I am sure it is neither prudent nor logical to paint all with the same brush and generalise when the larger picture points otherwise. If there are few rabble rousers, there are many others more calm and mature in their disposition. Now of course you or me may agree to disagree with their point of view, which obviously is subjective and would naturally be there. <br />As rightly pointed out by you, Swami Vivekananda dwelled upon philosophy of Vedanta, which in essence is about finding god in oneself as the Atma is part of the Paramatma. This implies that all humans are the same because they all have atman in them (which is part of same Paramatma) and that differences are what we humans have built for ourselves. A corollary to that is “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas”. Further, Swami Vivekanda’s dwelling on Vedanta were not merely for the sake of its study, but had an objective of using it to culturally revive a demoralised civilization which once upon a time authored the Vedas. So there was definitely a political objective behind his works and hence he travelled the world. In fact I read that Netaji Subhash Bose considered his works as strong inspiration in his freedom struggle. No wonder why he carried both Hindus and Muslims together in INA and coined the work “Jai Hind” and not “Jai Bharat”. This may put light on the use of word Hindustan by the RSS card holders. Merely because the constitution refers Bharat does not imply one is debarred from using the word “Hindustan”. I agree that this word has no reference in veda or purana, but how does that matter when the essence of Veda are being captured, strictly from a governance (and policy) point of view, by treating Indian citizens equally. Of-course the spiritual message in the Vedanta also needs to be followed, but that’s a separate discussion all together. <br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Kunal KaisthaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481909281902939937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-56789363884049216782017-03-08T11:24:20.561+05:302017-03-08T11:24:20.561+05:30Dear Prasun

As for the Javelin, the CLU is the re-usable launcher. And as I said before, the MPATGM like the Javelin follows the same design principle as both are in hermetically sealed cannisters. ATGMs like Nag or HELINA that have to be manually loaded into their re-usable launch-tubes & therefore cannot operate in the same way as Javelin or MPATGM. Hence, apples cannot be compared with oranges. As for MTOW figures & attainable MTOW for max altitude ceilings of LCH & ALH, do consult the brochures of both that I had uploaded years ago in this blog for comparison. It’s no use engaging in speculative ‘maybes’ or scratching one’s head in vain when OEM-furnished figures are available. The OEM’s data will reveal that the LCH was never meant to attain heights of 21,000 feet ASL, while the ALH was & hence the ALH’s higher power-to-weight ratio. Even the 16,500 feet is attainable by the LCH only when it’s armed ONLY with Mistral ATAMs & the chin-mounted 20mm cannon, & nothing else.<br /><br />To BUDDHA: LoLz! The F/A-22’s design was frozen in 1992 for the commencement of series-production, meaning only Intel Pentium-2 processors could be used then. The time has now come for the F/A-22’s mid-life upgrade. Furthernore, US-based OEMs are already well into developing 6th-generation MRCAs.Prasun K.

The cooling flask you’re refer...To SCRUTATOR: LoLz! The cooling flask you’re referring to is not meant to cool the Javelin missile’s seeker, but rather the target acquisition seeker on the re-usable manportable launcher itself, i.e. the same principle used by re-usable shoulder-launched MANPADS launchers. Once electrical power is supplied & the missile is activated, the internal cooler of the Javelin takes over under the lock-on-before-launch mode & it takes about 40 seconds to fully function. On AAMs the coolant is embedded inside the missile itself & no coolant pours in from any outside source. Once any cannister-encased missile like an ATGM leaves its tube, the flight-time is no more than 20 seconds—hardly any time therefore for the seeker to be degraded even at 55 degrees Celsius outside temperature. The launch-tubes of both Nag & HELINA aren’t hermetically sealed since they are meant to be re-usable & that’s why moderately cooled air has to be supplied inside the launch-tubes from an external source NOT just for the purpose of keeping the nose-section cool, but for the entire missile-body so that lock-on-before-launch can be achieved.<br /><br />LCH was never based on ALH’s chassis. LCH is an all-new design & possesses far more ballistics tolerance than the ALH does & this makes the LCH heavier. Only the powerpack, main/tail rotor heads are identical. <br /><br />To SUVO: Just-released Punjab CTD Report Exposes ISIS in Pakistan:<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R7Zi6d-5p8Prasun K.

Once the missile is launched the external connection to the coolant is severed and an internal coolant bottle (much smaller one) is activated.<br /><br />Similar mechanism is used for US Navy's Sidewinder missile that has a Nitrogen bottle on its launcher.<br /><br />Several companies manufacture these coolant bottles for missiles including Cobham (from which India procures several components for Tejas); there was some chatter on DRDO producing an indigenous version of these coolant bottles too. <br /><br />I thought Helina was working on similar principle - no violation of any laws of physics (just plain old Joule Thomson laws put to effective use).<br /><br />The only issue I see with the 'air conditioning' provided to Helina (in its current design as proposed by you, other than how effectively the air conditioning will cool the seeker) is that once the missile leaves the tube the seeker is exposed to the outside heat and could lose the target lock (if the seeker remains uncooled that is - without an internal coolant bottle).<br /><br />So, a fully loaded LCH weighs 7.5 tonnes and a fully loaded ALH weighs 5.5 tonnes? I am still trying wrap my head around this, as both have the same set of engines. I thought LCH was based on ALH chasis, with changes only to the airframe. Am I missing something?<br /><br />-Scrutator<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516734796985194290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-19469913523323628742017-03-08T00:37:39.666+05:302017-03-08T00:37:39.666+05:30To SCRUTATOR: VMT.

Having such a mechanism is a total violation of the laws of physics. The only port on any missile is the umbilical cord for electric power supply reqd for both activating the on-board target acquisition sensor & for rocket booster. Are you saying that the LCH is lighter than the ALH? The former weighs 7.5 tonnes & the latter 5.5 tonnes. <br /><br />To KAUSTAV: VMT. To me it was just a matter of applying common-sense & logic based on the laws of physics.<br /><br />To SATYAKI: 1) Not at all. All Agni-5s that will become operational will have MIRVs. 2) It should enter service by 2027. 3) Yes. Multiple manufacturers have been roped in for undertaking parallel production, not just for strategic weapons, but also for missiles like ATGMs & SAMs.Prasun K.

Christopher said a couple of years ago that the rate of production of Agni series missiles was only 20% of what the SFC required. Has there been an improvement on that front in the last two years ?<br /><br />Satyaki<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
