@cookiec75190643@Arun_Golaya I slightly disagree. The nuclear submarine program is a success considering its complexity. But we missed duplicating the process we followed in surface ships in developing conventional submarines. I have touched on this in my book "A Buidler's Navy'.
@Arun_Golaya The book is on navy investing in human resources ahead of need, opting for incremental improvements with calibrated stretch and tolerating failures, Godavari with Soviet and western weapons during cold war and higher speed with Nilgiri machinery was the tipping point.
@Arun_Golaya This is an incisive analysis of the thought behind development of different ship classes. But plans have to be executed. That was done by the designers of the Navy- naval architects working with marine engineers and eapons specilists Refer the book."The Builder's Navy'.
@srikantkesnur@indiannavy Really a land mark in the Navy’s Atma Nirbhar which stated with INS Godavari. Our Coast Guard has all its ships built and designed indigenously starting from CGV Vikram commissioned in 1983 which I had the honor of designing.
Modi is returning to Delhi empty handed in strategic gains. No mention by US of Chinese aggression against India despite 4026 sq kms of Ladakh gobbled by China. The Economist in a tongue in cheek front page picture, represents taming of Modi tiger by BIden. So don’t be fooled.
@RamanujamSri The BJP candidate came to Brigade Classic and spoke only in Kannada When I told him I do not know the language, he continued in Kannada, though the audience knew English. User friendliness or what?
@SarojSridhar@RamanujamSri This is a non-issue if the students get a separate English copy of the certificate. They can throw the Hindi version in the dustbin if they do not want it.
