India was all set to master Russian cryogenic rocket technology when the United States – in cahoots with its moles in the Indian Intelligence Bureau – set in motion a series of events that implicated India’s leading space scientists on cooked-up charges. To understand the extent of damage caused to India’s space programme because of the ISRO spy case, one has to first look at how close India was to mastering cryogenic rocket technology. Cryogenic rocket technology involves the use of super-cooled liquid fuels to produce massive amounts of thrust in order to lift heavy payloads into space. It will be at the heart of India’s GSLV rocket, which will carry future Indian astronauts to the moon. Without a reliable GSLV India will continue to pay heavy launch fees to foreign space agencies. Because it takes several hours to fuel up a cryogenic rocket, such a rocket cannot be used as a ballistic missile. This leads to two questions. One, if the United States is really concer...
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pro-actively pursued India’s agenda of modernising and indigenising its defence sector by clearing several long-pending demands of the Indian military for equipment. India’s rapidly-obsolescing military hardware has made this push imperative—the ageing of the hardware has been prominently highlighted by a string of naval accidents in the last two years and the rapidly depleting strength of the air force squadron, with the de-induction of old aircraft and delays in inducting replacements. Externally, raging border disputes with China and Pakistan, and the growing presence of the Chinese Navy in the Indian Ocean region, continue to be threats that call for an updating of the Indian defence sector. Rapidly evolving security threats in India's neighbourhood and a number of accidents means it is critical for India to invest in the modernisation as well as the indigenisation of India's rapidly obsolescing defence equipmen...
THE BLASTS IN IRAN ARE THE CAUSE FOR SERIOUS CONCERN. WE SEEM TO BE ON A BRINK OF SHIA-SUNNI FAULT LINE WAR. FIRST DONALD TRUMP VISITED SAUDI ARABIA AND ADDRESSED LEADERS OF SOME 35 SUNNI COUNTRIES. Micheal D Andrea, the CIAs top covert action expert has been put in charge of covert ops against Iran. He was the man who led the Osama hunt. Pakistan has once again offered itself as a base for covert ops against Iran. Gen R. Sharief is supposed to lead the second Karbala war to exterminate the Shias. I don't think they will find the going so easy. There is a lot than Iran can do to retaliate. Could we think in terms of aggrieved democracies around Pak to include India, Iran, Afghanistan hitting back jointly, or will we be more concerned with promoting American interests at the cost of lives of our own people? A couple of days ago Iran allotted two oil blocks (which were to be given to India) to some Russian company, due to delay in finalising the deal stuck ...
