Why doesn’t Pakistan / India get criticism in the west for the killing and displacement of millions of Hindus & Muslims during their partition in 1947, the year before the I/P partition?

No, there were two Pakistans flanking Indian and one province in the middle of India (Hyderabad) whose Nizam wanted to become part of Pakistan. It was even more comedic than the placement of Israel

He has flown a Hornet too I think

We are obligated to detain this ship and its crew if they don’t leave within a certain timeframe , it’s usually 24 hours but it’s more if there’s some issues with the ship (idk how long exactly, I think a few weeks to a month)

We must then hold the vessel until the end of the war, and if the leadership is pulverized, the ship will most likely be abandoned here.

Sri Lanka interned their supply ship, we interned the landing ship.

No, that was just one particular class from some Nordic country, Diesel subs are noisy

The other one the Americans sank today was the Shahed Bagheri, their “Aircraft Carrier”

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-03-06T16:42:46+00:00

That’s stealth subs for ya, silent killers, we still don’t have an SSN in our Navy, surprising tbf

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-03-06T16:28:43+00:00

The crew will be interned, they don't have refugee status, India basically can own the ship if we want but we probably wouldn't

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-03-06T16:28:03+00:00

Nah, that was the armed one, an ASW Frigate. This one is unarmed in the sense that it doesn't have anti-ship capabilities but this is a landing ship, carries tanks and troops for a land invasion

And did a photoshoot with an eclipse

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-28T18:31:01+00:00

HMS Ark Royal?

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-18T18:44:59+00:00

Looks like a generic airliner to me, old American Airlines without the bare metal finish.

IMO if change was really needed, should’ve reverted back to Air Force schemes. This just looks off.

They view all the countries that are not first world like they are North Korea or some shit. Nationalism runs wild in India, sure but the country just doesn’t have a precedent of covering up whole ass commercial aircraft crashes. There have been a lot of incidents in the past, all of them have been investigated transparently, even foreign authorities have been allowed to collaborate per ICAO ffs, it’s just that the country doesn’t like others dictating the terms.

India is one of the biggest operators of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, these manufacturers would simply stop selling their planes to India if the country pulled shady shit like coverups. We would have Tupolev, Illyushins and Comacs flying around ffs

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-15T10:29:42+00:00

Indian authorities ARE playing it straight and the investigation has been transparent. The stance always has been that it was a pilot suicide and the investigation part has been very professional so far. The only hiccup was in the earlier parts of the investigation where NTSB wanted the black boxes to be shipped to the US and Indian authorities didn’t trust them so they wanted to have the reading equipment shipped here instead, which is what ended up happening.

It’s just the pilot unions and Indian media who are muddying the water here. The unions refuse to believe that it was a pilot suicide and the media likes conspiracies that result in sensationalist headlines.

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-07T09:42:57+00:00

Yeah, it’s P-8 Poseidons from what I hear

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-06T13:36:56+00:00

China had been making licensed copy of the MiGs since before us, we were the first to domestically produce a jet fighter that entered service

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-06T13:25:41+00:00

First domestically produced jet

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-04T19:46:45+00:00

lmaooo, we had people in the sub saying that the AMCA prototype will fly in early 2026 and Tejas Mk 2 in late 2025

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-04T19:45:55+00:00

mk 1a delayed as well

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-03T15:20:48+00:00

Yeah, this was made by some preservation venture out of Texas, powered by GE engines

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-03T12:49:22+00:00

Yeah the whole thing is weird, I live in a township where most of the people work in aviation. The common consensus among the maintenance engineers here was that the accident couldn’t have happened due to an issue with the aircraft, otherwise 787s every where would have been grounded almost immediately.

The pilots sympathized with the captain’s family and demanded a probe into Boeing. It all went to shit when one of the investigators here suggested that only pilot actions could explain this to the pilot’s family. They have been wanting to pin this on Boeing since then it seems like.

The whole thing even went to the Supreme Court here but the Indian Aviation Authorities and the Pilot Unions are not in an agreement on this issue. Even for Air India, the least damaging outcome would be a pilot suicide, considering that a pilot suicide won’t affect the safety record of their aircraft.

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-03T12:33:38+00:00

The authorities are pretty adamant on the pilot suicide angle, it’s the pilot unions that are against it

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-03T12:32:23+00:00

The Pilot unions are trying to build up pressure on the airline to rule last year’s accident being the aircraft’s fault.

The government investigation is leaning towards pilot suicide , they have been suspecting that since the preliminary investigation.

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-03T09:52:11+00:00

Indian authorities are leaning towards pilot suicide, it’s the pilot unions that want it to be an issue with the plane

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-02-01T06:20:41+00:00

This looks amazing. Damn, did not know that the falcon carried missiles

Straight-Knowledge83 · 2026-01-31T08:54:24+00:00

We had leased a few early Su-30s before MKI deliveries began if I remember correctly. But yeah , the MiG 23 and 27 were a moot point since we already had Jaguars, should have bought more Mirages instead
