there are entire swathes of subcontinentals with lives so shallow and vain, only form of interaction with world they seem to know of is to retweet anti india racistslop and feeling included in larger herd.

It Doesn't exist, stop pretending like anyone among you give a flying Fcuk about us, most of you'll skin our kids alive if given a chance
China: A Shang caste woman lies injured after a traffic accident, but no one helps or calls an ambulance— Shi people only film and post it on social media.
Indian nationalists are posting against China using Chinese videos, but anti-national Indians living in India are commenting against those nationalists and defending China. Ironically, these anti-nationals were silent when China promoted racist posts against India.
@YusufDFI Giving amca entirely to pvt. sector which hasn't as much as made a flying trainer till date is going to be a pain point later and ultimately pvt. sector would face the same limitations as HAL does when it comes to running a prog. In sourcing components from multiple countries.
LCA Mk2 – At the prototyping phase, with the first prototype coupled and lead by HAL.
AMCA – Will be developed by a consortium (non-HAL).
How does scrapping one positively impact the other (timelines, etc.)? My brain isn’t braining.
If someone called you that it was not a good thing, they should just call you a bad student of defence aviation.
@ajayrotti@smitaprakash At least one of the reasons she gets to interview them is because they know she won't ask any deep questions which may make them uncomfortable.
She is a safe interviewer.
Respectfully saying this @smitaprakash and not trolling. Long-form conversations with people like Dr. VAN or Neelkanth Mishra demand deep preparation.
Most of your questions or follow questions/comments in both podcasts were based on tweets or surface level commentary. In the recent conversation with Dr. VAN, asking him to explain concepts because "I am confused" made it more painful.
You have access to some of India's finest minds. The audience deserves sharper, more informed questioning that gets us better insights.
@YusufDFI Just because name existed doesn't mean the progamme existed, without dedicated funding of CCS the progamme is as good as a PPTX file.
Tejas mk2 didn't really existed till 2023 and AMCA didn't really existed till 2025.
Another “concession” floated and later widely spread in the media—in order to make certain choices or deals more palatable to the public—gets exposed. Nothing against the French, this is exactly how serious nations operate.
So in the 2030s and 2040s we will have a hobbled IAF with disparate fleets (Indian, French, Russian) that can't talk to each other without translation nodes, vulnerable to attack. French fleet that consumes all the capex, IAF cant chase upgrades for the rest, buy SAMs, IFR, EW.
As Indians we should worry about ourselves first and foremost. Churchill was a mass murderer of Indians and a Hinduphobe. This picture is a national shame.
"No skin in the game" funnily that people with skin in the game are equally responsible when procurement "takes it's own sweet time".
You can just try to name 1 large procurement in the last 25yrs of IAF history that met ASQRs at one go
chinese lies a lot
his view on china was bizzare and filled with praises of india, let me tell what he said about china and india
1. He said chinese were dirty and never bathe, in contrast indian bathe everyday two times
2. Sulaiman wrote chinese never brush their teeth unlike indian who brush everytime before eating.
3. Sulaiman wrote Chinese sell human meat in market and various animals like dogs which he find disgusting
4. Sulaiman wrote chinese dont even wash their back after defecation unlike who wash themselve after that,
5. he wrote walls of city of india is made up of proper bricks unlike primitive china where it was made up of wood,
6. Sulaiman wrote chinese house are like thatched straw wooden unlike indian who made proper bricks house with proper roof
7. Sulaman wrote all religon and idols with features(culture) come from india
8. In china when person died chinese mourn him for days before burying him, unlike india where it was quite lenient
9. He also write medical knowledge of indian along with astronomical mathematical is greater than chinese, and most advance in world of that time
Key takeaways - focus on Mk1A and Mk2 & get them into service asap. Leverage for AMCA. IMHO the skepticism towards the scientific estbt will be fixed if we get fighters at steady clip & with upgrades. But the engine issue remains. Needs fixing. India is held hostage otherwise.
