  1. Hope the HK417 gets selected by Indian Army.

    Though doesn't say anything about the numbers in case of an order. May be it is exclusive for the IA's elite forces…

  2. in a interview on 2010-01-12 ,Chinese tank expert told that Chinese made tank include their latest Type:99 can be destroyed by top attack weapons.Quote-"the top of the tank is still weak, so the top together with a general thickness of not very thick, sensitivity Projectile usually wear to 50 mm to 150 mm can play through. For the last missile in terms of sensitivity, whether light or heavy, are the defensive problems."
    So Nag missile could easily destroy them,win the war for us.

  3. HI Shiv,

    Heard that JF-17 had done taxi trails with Chinese WS-13 Engine.

    Can you cover some news regarding that.
    Also compare our Kaveri with WS-13, to make us understand which is better in all aspects.

    Thank you in advance
