For those who would like to read about the impact in long-form, from a 'non-Indian source', here they are: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-militants-financing-economy/pakistan-could-face-economic-pain-from-return-to-terrorist-financing-gray-list-idUSKCN1G00PB...

Had the concerned posters red the article, they would know what the source is. This is not an 'Indian' article. In fact, it is not an article per se. In journalism, its called a curation. The information has been curated strictly from two sources: Reuters (for the most part) and Dawn. In fact...

Pakistan is in the dock at the ongoing FATF meeting in Paris, with the sword of being put back on the grey list of terror financing countries hanging on its head. Interestingly, this is the FIRST TIME in the body's history that four nations have singled out another nation at the same time for...

Why is Islamabad not deterred when the Indian Army has killed close to five Pakistani soldiers for every single personnel it has lost? Why does Pakistan continue to violate the ceasefire agreement? Click here to read more The Indian Army is "inflicting heavy pain on the Pakistani side" and...

China has been instrumental in shielding Pakistan from the fallout of its misadventures. However, this time, even Beijing couldn't save Islamabad's bacon, not when it came to Hafiz Saeed and his "charities". Pakistani President Mamnoon Hussain on Monday signed an ordinance aimed at cracking...

Thanks for posting the article. :) To all members, of all nationalities, namaskar, I am visiting this forum after ages. Hope all of you are in good health. For those who wish to troll me, wait a while, the troll inside me from the good old days is still in there somewhere. :p @Joe Shearer...

'Modi's India' isn't 'flirting' with fascism Business Standard Bhaswar Kumar The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) national general secretary Ram Madhav was introduced to the proverbial “freight train” when he went ‘head to head’ with Mehdi Hasan at the Oxford Union; and despite his best...

Wait for the TaDIRCM slaved to the DAS, with high-speed hand-off between the DIRCM apertures housed in the airframe life will become VERY difficult for anyone engaging the 35 in WVR combat even with off-boresight missiles and helmet mounted cueing systems.

Unfortunately, no. The placement of the air intake and the absence of the nearly "vestigial" tail sting eliminates the 29K. Someone bungled up, and went with the F-15 on the deck.

You are on the right path there. The idea is to intercept targets which can execute terminal phase maneuvers, of course the low speed of the interceptor makes it unsuitable for area defense or sea-borne ABM roles but it is meant for fleet protection and nothing else and for that the Israeli idea...

With F-15s on the deck.:p:

From the picture, it is clear that that whatever measures have been taken for further signature reduction a flush deck is not one of them. While Mazagon's model tenders called for 48 and 64 VLS cell launch modules for SAMs (in two separate tenders respectively) the media is indicating that the...

Simply elongating the fuselage is a complex enough venture, re-designing the air-intake is no mean feat either. We are talking about so many factors which end up being altered. To try and explain that in layman's language is not possible since concepts of are-ruling and drag coefficients do not...

It will be costly, it will require an in-depth redesign AND it will require flight testing hours which will delay the product. The time for such an action has already passed, perhaps if we had taken this decision in 06-08. Regardless to day, the Tejas Mk.1 cannot operate with the GE-414, nor...

You need to check your source. The F/A-18 is called the "Hornet" and was produced by McDonnell Douglas, it operates with the GE-404 engine. The Boeing F/A-18 E/F is the "Super Hornet", it is a larger airframe based on the design principles of the original hornet and operates with the GE-414...

The super hornet is physically bigger than the original F/A-18 that's why. The F/A-18s themselves have never been upgraded with the 414.

The Mk.1 cannot house the 414, the major redesigns needed in the Mk.2 are specifically aimed at enabling the use of the 414 engine. So a MLU engine change is not possible. As to whether a sensor upgrade will occur, I cannot comment with any surety. Yes, it will have the advantage of sporting an...

How about first conduct a strategic defense review, something that India has not done in more than 50 years. We are THE ONLY nation which aspires to be a global power (and is a regional power) which does not conduct regular strategic reviews for direction setting and appraisal.

There is nothing definitive on when the LCA mk.2 will finally reveal itself (beyond the 2018 first flight, a dubious claim as things stand now) , there in lies the problem; not with the mk.1 which will sure as rain find its place in the IAF's roster. So, why the RM felt the need to "apply...

No, it is not going to end in the acquisition of a light fighter. The MoD has clarified that what they meant was that they were taking all steps to meet the shortfall in fleet strength, the RM was not explicitly or implicitly pointing at another acquisition (at least not at this point in time)...
