Al Khalid Army Ayub Khan Centurions Delhi DRDO Jagjivan Ram Kariappa Field Marshal Koorgi Lahore Lal Bahadur Shastri Nilgiri pakistan Sherman tanks warProbably the country needs war not one but many so that voice of army is heard by the civil servants. . Some guys of course react that it was wishful thinking and out of frustration due to failure of civil government in reacting to demands of army. There is no frustration on this side. The real fact is that peace time army has no respect and also will have no respect especially in this land of oppertunists. This is truth whether some one likes or not. Many know this but out of modesty act as if not true or be a cat on the wall. They look other way. Many guys see Army as a waste of national resources. Are we maintaining army as a show piece as a safety factor? Second is rather true. We have already fought many wars and lost some major too. But for Army, Delhi would have been with Pakistan. In 1965, Field Marshal Ayub Khan declared that He would have breakfast at Rawalpindi and lunch at Delhi or something to that effect. It shows how poorly he assessed and how very confident he was. They were so confident when American Patton Tanks lumbered across the borders in hundreds. Army then has shown what it means with World War II vintage American built Shermans and British Centurions. Kudos to them. Some guys who claim to be the only experts in modern tank warfare might feel happy in arm chairs without seeing a round being fired from a tank at enemy. Cheers to them. Leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri and Jagivan Ram, Defense minister had guts and in fact Indians could have good lunch with roasted chicken and beer at Lahore. I am sorry. We are Gandhians. No Chicken and beer. We should not say loud. Topiwallahs might get offended. We could have had some vegetables and goat’s milk, peeled bananas and Parathas in Lahore. Otherwise Gandhis soul would weep beating its chest and tearing clothes. We also would get into sins and land in hell................

SITTING DUCK... ARJUN THE BATTLE TANK
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Wed, 07/23/2008 - 08:13. Arjun AVSM Bheema Chennai DRDO krishna Madras Pandava PVSM VCR EngineThe development of Main Battle Tank (MBT) for Indian armored Corps by Indian scientists was taken up by CVRDE at Madras ( Now Chennai) that is a part of DRDO. Way back in seventies, the project MBT 80 was taken up. Guys were trying to develop own engine for the future MBT, the inevitable sitting duck. In those days, there was a craze for Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) Diesel Engine, popular in American usage and Tank development. In this design, the compression ratio could be changed while the engine was running by pumping high pressure oil into piston that was made of two sliding parts, one within other. Once the fluid is forced in to the chamber, upper sliding piston moves up and gets locked and reduces the clearance volume and there by increases compression ratio. However the sealing and other allied arrangements should be sophisticated and Indian expertise in those days was definitely debatable and to be precise was utterly lacking. After struggling for much of the time at Madras by the Research organization of Govt India, I think they came out with a model proto type probably in 1970 aimed to produce 1500 BHP. This engine could just produce power that was just sufficient to keep it moving by itself overcoming its internal friction. I am sure the engine would have struggled and stopped if the fly wheel was touched with the hand (Meaning an additional light load). Rest of the balance power probably was interpolated and predicted using various performance curves and claimed that it would produce (bla…bla…bla…). There was no actual power development and brake power testing to the required power. It was the theoretical prediction. The seals in piston gave serious trouble. The Project died its own death and God saved India. I am sure the project of the beleaguered design was abandoned. My question is, “Why try to design some thing that is beyond one’s capability?” In India, for some crazy guys there are many fancies.
WILD GOOSE CHASE

Al Khalid Arjun tank DRDO Indian army pakistan reserach ( Pseudo) Indian army is having problems with the much debated Arjun Tank the main Battle Tank that has taken more than three decades to crawl on the raod. The tank developed by the Indian defence research team after rediscovering Newtons law from time to time could not impress the armed forces. The tank is seen as a sitting duck. On the other front Pakistan has successfully produced Al Kahlid tanks are in regular production. Very soon swan son has to be sung for these Arjun Tanks although some guys desperately have soft corner for these metal boxes. The DRDO (Defense Research and Development Organization) has taken the people of this country on a wild goose chase all these years.......................

There are certain souls who are busy pulling down those in power
These are the red flag brothers of the departed Marxist Lenin
Who have fallen down from the ideals and lofty tower?
Communists in India are now a broken lot
Who are holding on to variety of a tree?
The guys have forgotten the Lenin’s code
And happy that at last they are free..............
WAR DRUMS ARE HEARD AGAIN

Iran that is feverishly pursuing its quest for nuclear status has recently fired few Long Range Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (LRBM) that has potential to seek American targets at different locations around the world and is viewed as a direct threat to American ally Israel (1). The show of strength came three days after U.S.-led warships finished naval exercises in the Gulf that Iran branded as "adventurist” Iran remains locked in dispute with the West over its nuclear program, which Washington says is geared to producing atomic weapons but Tehran says is only for generating electricity. Iran’s state-run media reported that one of them was a modified Shahab-3 ballistic missile, which has a claimed range of 1,250 miles and could theoretically deliver a one-ton nuclear warhead over Israeli cities. Tel Aviv is about 650 miles from western Iran. General Hossein Salami, a senior Revolutionary Guard commander, boasted that “our hands are always on the trigger and our missiles are ready for launch”.............
STATE TERRORISM.... HOW CRUEL IT IS?
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Tue, 07/08/2008 - 09:14. 9/11 African nations Canada fascism terrorismEvery one speaks on terrorism at present. Why not? This is the easiest subject at present. Lengthy articles are written in News papers, journals, editorials and spoken at seminars where experts (Some pseudo ?_)deliberate on the issues related. Many arm chair pseudo analysts, drawing room analysts, arm chair watchers, fake strategists, retired government personnel from Police and home department indulge in lengthy talks on the subject of terrorism particularly about Islamic terrorism. This activity has reached its crazy height after 9/11. But sadly none deliberates on State terrorism worldwide. They blink and act as if the word is not heard. They turn the head otherway. This is because some of the retired Government men in all the nations are surely a part to this nefarious activity and that was a sanctioned holy act in their view. Some of them might have been as cruel as the members of German GESTAPO of World War ill fame and many get Scot-free..........................
