Do not be under the impression that there is no wheeling and dealing going on between IA and PLA. If there was absolutely no progress then we would not be having such frequent 10 hour meetings..
There have been 10 meetings and some have stretched to 15 hours or so. That is 125 hours of discussions. After that we are still getting the "Both sides agreed to maintain peace and tranquillity" kind of press releases. Maybe progress is being made but it seems very very slow. Which means the next ten press releases will be the same.

The bigger hint came from Gen Rawat was that China is facing "unanticipated consequences for its misadventure". We have to make sure they dont do such things again and maybe thats the IA goal now. Keep them in the tough Ladakh conditions for long enough that they get and keep unpleasant memories.

If NDA loses bihar... high chance of a conflict in next few days... because this defeat will fulfil the 5th gen warfare/misinformation needs of the enemy... they will start it & blame it on India... "Indian hindutva govt after failure in elections is stoking up nationalist sentiments by aggressive designs against neighbours"

IAF has deployed Flat Face B aka P-19 decimetric band 2D search and acquisition radar in Leh . This is in response to the J-20 threat. Although our Su-30MKI routinely pick them up with the Bars.

It's a UHF band radar associated with S-125 Sam units. Mounted on a ZiL-131 .

An inherent advantage of the UHF band is the long wavelength which allows it to detect fighter sized LO and VLO targets . Rayleigh scattering phenomenon. IAF has deployed these UHF band radars to cater to the threat of J-20 which is periodically deployed at Hotan .

Only broad band all aspect large VLO acs like B-2 and the RQ-180 can escape from such low band long wavelength rf waves.

Old is gold boys. Old school methods and practises still rock. And we have a penchant of extracting every last bit from a platform or weapon system . Besides utilising a platform or an aircraft in a plethora of roles . Roles which weren't initially envisaged for the original platform by the chief designers and engineers .

Nitish will win by a razor thin margin and will again become the CM.

Just wait and watch.

Sorry but wars don't start on these random elections.. I don't think eleven ping pong gives a sh** about any of this. If it were loksabha elections then it would be plausible to hit Modi on his strongman image.. But That's not the case now. Nobody is interested at the moment to do anything. It is a stalemate. Next year probably before Jinping's big address in October on CCP's conference.

No I said this in time and cost perspective. It is an EMALS carrier also.
The plan was for the next 10 to 15 years, enough for our own solution.

I think the emals carrier Gerald Ford will be unsuccessful as the capabilities are same as previous Nimitz carriers with greater cost per ship and also most of the core components are still in testing and has major issues.i don't understand the fanboyism here.
Long ago i read about IAC-2 having EMALS or plans for it, but nothing concrete.....

I didn't visit the forum for a few weeks because well, was getting a bit frustrated with everything going on in the country.


So, what happened? What's the latest news Vis a vis Indo-Tibet Border?

TOI also has an article up saying similar things, based on ANI citing "defense sources".
Now people can buy their Xiaomeme, Oppo, Vivo etc things guilt-free.
Ye chutiyagiri hai.

Tanks can go back 30 km and then come back to the same spot later that day itself they have good infrastructure in the area.

Inse pucho are they retreating from the captured areas or not.

Tanks wil go and come back troops are still there.

Was this intentional? I feel there's a conspiracy by the MEA Bureaucrats. The Commander heading IA at all these commander level talks was changed and at the same time the US election results are out and Trump is almost out

Relax. MEA dumbocrats cannot supercede PMO. PMO and DefMin have made their intentions crystal clear.

After Namaste Trump and Howdy Modi and, lets see how the Demoncrats deal with NDA.

Way MEA snubbed Pramila, would be interesting if things sour further between the two nations on the diplomatic front. They aren't great given the H1B standoff, trade talk and other issues.
