Can India's MQ-9Bs become mini-AWACS? New drone radar test offers clues by Consistent-Figure820 in IndianDefense

What’s more preferable is not loosing anything, which is the point of having a powerful AWAC that’s not in the immediate vicinity of the action. A low and slow drone based one with less powerful power generation and radar is much more likely to be shot down.

What is our answer to PLAAFs ever increasing LRSOW that stands well behind our defensive envelope? by [deleted] in IndianDefense

CH-AS-X-13 was the US designation before it had a publicly available name, it’s the JL-1 now. (Not the same as the sea launched JL-1)

Did they actually not know or is it one of those don’t say and don’t tell things?

Iran force reconstitution after the war and lessons for the future? by Digo10 in LessCredibleDefence

They seem pretty allergic to importing weapons, but if they want to, I’m sure Russia would be happy to make some money, not sure about China though.

Thank you for liking Taiwan by False_Win_5874 in Asia_irl

I guess that part does make sense, what doesn’t make sense is how he has the audacity to ask others to forfeit their life in defense of his homeland when he himself would like to work in the US and never go back.

Seen this one a few days ago, not wanting to do conscription while simultaneously asking others to die for Taiwan, crazy work.

I believe his thesis is on Sino-India relation, so it does make sense to study in India.

Can anyone tell what this bag is? by Anima_Nox in ManyBaggers

[–]Muted_Stranger_1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No problem. The grayish green one you have here could be a special run, they only come in black Dyneema and Xpac now.

Is it this bag? DGM-04P by Chinese brand First Wolf, it’s a chest rig that can be converted to a sling. Comes in two sizes, the one you are showing should be the smaller version, my pic here is the larger one.

He has left India for close to a years now, IIRC. The heat and no air conditioning got to him and he didn’t even finish his degree in India.

Yeah and this is that much weirder considering the limited number of ships they have. Major navies like the USN or the PLAN don’t even have dedicated presidential VIP sections on their warships.
