    I agree. I just wanted everyone to see how countering a troll with arguments usually ends up like. I think this thread may be closed.

    That is what I was expecting. Good, then what use is DRDO, and the scientists? Someone should hand you a sword and a horse, and you can defend the nation like a mighty knight.

    I thought you were sermonizing me not to lose my cool. And if this were not the internet, so what? Fisticuffs? You are at a forum, so try to make cogent arguments and take your empty threats elsewhere.

    I give a tuppence about what you accept or not. You lied about IA using 1942's technology. You have been exposed. As Kunal rightly said, you have a habit of posting outdated information. It is not a backgrounder, it is simply either your ignorance, or your maliciousness.

    OFB has upgraded Carl-Gustav with modern technology. I have a supported claim that contradicts your comment that I have quoted earlier. So, stick to the topic. You claimed that Carl-Gustav is 1942's technology and its modern technological improvements are not available with the IA. You have...

    I think for the truth. There is absolutely nothing in your post that defends your original claims that Carl-Gustav is 1942's technology and that lot of technological developments have taken place in this system, especially with the ammo, but it remains the same old system in IA. I never...

    I think @Kunal Biswas was saying that you post outdated information, which I think is true in some cases. I also agree that you are indeed working hard to make your point. Regarding Carl-Gustav, it was designed in 1945. India also makes the Mark III variant of Carl-Gustav, which is based on...

    The post by @Khagesh makes some valid points. It gives examples of how countries fought to preserve their independence at great human losses, also failed to adequately protect themselves due to lack of sufficient indigenous weapons making capabilities, especially weapons that cannot be bought...

    You have not provided any link in your post, so I took care to add the disclaimer, "or whoever is the author of the list you have presented," which you have duly quoted, but overlooked. Who is bashing whom? So this list is the opinion of DRDO?

    The list you presented is the answer, if someone asked Laxman Kumar Behera (or whoever is the author of the list you have presented), "What, in your opinion, are the most critical defence technologies?" I largely agree with the list. I just wanted to point out that every person who has an...

    I have to admit that I had confused Bharat Karnad with Bharat Verma. I have read quite a few articles by Bharat Karnad, and most of them are rather diabolical. I admit I have read only one article by Bharat Verma, which I have critiqued earlier in this thread. My apologies for misleading...

    @Khagesh, I agree that theory driven inductive reasoning is fallible. Theory is important, and the validity of a theory is in its implementation. Generalization, I am afraid, is not entirely avoidable.
