sandeep Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Not seeing how OP gives "Namo" credit for the Indian army buying helicopters from the US manufacturer. Maybe he helped the factory install the cloud proof radar. Edited May 13, 2019 by sandeep

FischerTal Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Don’t see the longbow radar. Will it be equipped on all apaches or only some? Main thing I am waiting for are the chinooks. Mi-35 are just too expensive to maintain like most Russian junk

Do you know that in some freq radar performance is affected by sever weather conditions. Since you preach objectivity in ICF to all "bhakts", follow what you preach. Otherwise you will fall in the same bucket as @Haarkarjeetgaye or@Jatboy, and @Ankit_sharma03 like trolls who criticize and troll modi for the sake of it and end up in the Ignore list.

Gollum Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Buying is good but hope we use them more liberally, the jihadi rats next door must always be on back foot. Anyday these guns over white elephants like aircraft carriers.

Sorry, was not in good "spirit" yesterday and snapped. I was not defending Modi in the "cloud" argument. 1. It's not a huge issue that it is made out to be. I felt he could've not discussed details at all. In his wisdom, if he has done it, he has some reasons, that I don't know 2. He had a disclaimer saying he is not an expert and he doesn't know much about the technology. You could ask, why even bother to comment, that's fair enough. But it was the thought behind the decision making. He took the decision to give go-ahead when there was talk of postponement. If it had failed, all blame would have gone to him, accusing him taking huge risks of others' lives without heeding to advice. Now, that it was successful, he should be lauded for his "raw" vision in the decision making. 3. All these BA passes (I am talking about left libby journos) who are making fun of his cloudy behavior, have they done a bit of homework on radar performance in extreme weather conditions? Yes in some freq it doesn't affect, but there is no proof that it helped here. As said earlier, it was a decision making process that gets credit, not for his scientific acumen. 4. Making memes etc and laughing about it, well, you guys have been starved for 5 years, you can have a field day, not that there's anything wrong about it. When we have had RaGa since 2004 to make fun of and are content...So, I will indulge you.. Haarkarjeetgaye and sandeep 2

I find it predictably pathetic when 'both sides' of the political spectrum indulge in this habitual reflexive construction and bucketing of the 'other', assigning imaginary positions, and proceeding to bash and 'defeat' said strawman. Bhai, I hate Congress, and I don't think Rahul is qualified to lead anything, forget the country. But that doesn't mean that I have to automatically ignore the foolishness of the 'other' side. And I make no secret of my disgust for Modi's political tactics and shameless use of bigotry, opportunism and self-aggrandizement. Let's not succumb to the tribal appeal of red team-blue team logic - let's not be so gullible. Let's criticize, mock, ridiciule all actions and statements that deserve it, and hold all public figures to higher standards. Haarkarjeetgaye 1

I am not convinced that Modi's strategies (DeMo, GST etc.) were all bad. In comparison, he is the best option for India for now. Because T.I,N,A!
