Oh it does – each time you open your mouth.

It smells to roses, It is sad that you have lost your sense of olfactory perception.

The discussion was clearly about the IA thanks to your statements about the Ak being the BR for the IA, which it clearly was not. So nice try at wriggling out…but a failure.

Yes and I was wrong in that regard but you were worse saying the AK is not a BR. And you did not say it in the Indian Army context alone.

No, the point is you were pretending as if knowledge shone out of your… when you clearly knew nothing of the topic under question and would not admit it.

My questions merely confirmed it.

The point is to make posts which rely on substance, and not gas and not try to pass off gas as fact. Please learn that.

Tell me what posts of knowledgeble nature you have made to date in this forum. You are discussing the merits and de merits of different ac in the MRCA amongst others, you hvae not yet provided any specefic links or anything, actually I have been doing the same so have been scooter and others.

And keep your advice to yourself I do not learn i. Why do you try to mini mod ? If you were a moderator I would have respected your views, since you are not one stop acting like one.

A long way of saying “no, I havent” and “I was talking through my ass about a topic I dont understand”. You could have just said that, and been done with it. No need to bring in the United States and UK to cover your faux pas.

Nice try to cover up your backside !. You were making ‘handling a gun’ a big thing, any idiot in a country with no gun control laws can do the same. In Somalia you can buy an AK for far less than you can buy a decent meal.

I think its clear who was the idiot. You used the term NCO without realising what it meant, googled it up, and are now spinning away. LOL at your spin & backtracking.

No look at my original post again. I said the NCOs are recruits which they are and you said you are not. May be you could do with a simple dictionary like an Encarta or a Webster.

In other words your entire life so far has been a waste since you relied on a language invented by others, used products made by others and fed like a parasite on knowledge gleaned by others.

Do me a favour and crawl back to your stone cave. Or acknowledge your hypocrisy and your selective belief in sources ONLY when they support what you want. And not when they puncture your bombast.

I know my native language as well as English. I am thankful for the people who introduced English education here so that now I am able to communicate with people from all around the world. What first hand knowledge have you had other than being fed by others ? Mr. Einstien.

My Stone cave is probably bigger than your house. I have my beliefs i keep to them, tell me some one in this forum who is always directed by fairness towards all players, every one has their favourites this or that atleast at the macro level.

Surprising, you sure seem upset when somebody pays you back in your own coin.

What happened to all the claims of stalking me forever, that even if you were banned you would be back after reregistering under a new IP? Not being afraid of playing hard ball and what not?

Could it be that you let (as usual) your mouth get the better of you? Could it be that you dont like others treating you the manner in which you threaten others?

Oh wonders.

No I just want to give back as good as i get it.

I never said I would stalk you. What I said was this that I would not let you have the last word ie. let you insult me and walk away without a reply, and for that i would do all I can. If you stop, I stop as well.

I do not threaten anyone, you can hardly make this claim in here. You can speak to people who I have had serious disagreements with over here including Swerve, Sintra, Vikas, Adil, Flex, Ankush, Abhi anyone you want. I have never gone personal and I have always agreed to disagree. You are apparently alien to the concept of open discussion.

You are hiding behind Swerve and it is clear that by yourself you are unable to refute anything I say.

Sucking upto Swerve or other posters wont compensate for your lack of domain knowledge.

Running behind others to compensate for your insane statements about Generals, to aircraft in general just makes you look even more foolish than you already are.

I am not hiding behind anyone. I was just pointing out that he has refuted your claims of the AK not being a MBR.

I do not stick up to others unless i feel they are unfairly treated and teamed up on. There is a lot of things that comes with common sense which do not necessarily need in depth knowledge. For example to believe that the MBR of the Soviet forces for many years was not a Battle Rifle because some Indian said so is beyond the realms of common sense.

Have you read about history ? Millitary tactics is as much history as it is technical. Do you know the Russian strategy in WW2 was simply to overwhelm the enemy even if there was 10 soldiers lost to one German soldier. That is why I say when its a real big war the best strategy is to treat soldiers as pieces on a chess board. If you get too upset about the lose of every life in the battle field you will get demoralised and can never win.

Lets see, I ignored you in the other thread and you started it off in this thread.

Add all the self aggrandizement about stalking me that you said earlier, your fanboy braggadacio that if you were banned, you’d come back and stalk me by reregistering under a new IP and what not, why bother with a defence now?

You are getting what you wanted – my replies, since you couldnt leave well enough, alone!

Please tell me where I said I will stalk you.

You are getting as good or better than you give so I am not bothered about your replies.

If contribution is defined by volume, then I am sure you can stake a claim to be amongst the biggest gasbags on any forum – not just this one.

As far as work is concerned, I am proud to work – it is the fundamental difference between you and me. I like working hard as well.

You apparently dont – and that merely corroborates you being a slacker.

Market dynamics do apply to research and almost all renumerative activities in this world- without there being a need, there would be no research.

I understand you lack an understanding and and you are basically sponging off your mom and dad’s hard earned cash, but do try and appreciate work, it will make you feel proud.

This is a discussion forum not a technical piece of junk. Most posts made here are in that spirit and yes there are people who are far knowledgable than you or me who do tehnical analysis. But we all co exist so that this forum do not become dull and technical.

Again it is sad that you really cannot come to grip with me earning more by practically doing very little actual work while you work your ass off.

It is easy to do what I do if you are smart. Just complete your Masters in any discipline, write the National Eligibility Test/ Joint Research Fellowship Test of the University Grants Commission and if you pass with 80% or more you can get paid for the next five years to do your Ph.D this is excluding payments for your work materials and books. You just have to register with a university and update them the status of your reasearch every six months. So you see i have a lot of time on my hands. Oh and if I cannot finish it in time I can ask for a 2 year extension :). It is probably your tax paying money HAH. Feeling bad ? Good.

No, I am not. However, I will respond to your risible stupidity as and when necessary.

Stop this and I stop. Otherwise..

Like I said I really do not want to continue it here. Let us be civil and reply to this in the PMs and I will do the same.

Even if I were working at a call center (which I am not), I would be proud that I am working. Even if I were a janitor and doing night school, I would be proud.

The fact is you wont understand it till you actually do and stop sponging off your parents.

I have explained how easy it is to do what I do. And how good it is if you study hard enough. Anyone can do what I do in India if they get the desired level of marks. And I have so much time on my hands if it upsets you I am sorry.

Given that so far you have contributed almost nothing of import or even remotely serious, I sincerely doubt you will do so in the future as well. And no, your character (or lack of) is clearly shown by your posts.

I will stop being a “prike” when you stop being a meow-meow.

What have you contributed to date ? I have made a lot of posts atleast a quarter or more of them have been pretty decent if not more. And by that average you are pretty down on that percentage.

I doubt you can stop being what you are.

Its capabilities will not match the majority of the other MMRCA Candidates in my opinon. Regardless, what SAAB wants to claim………….small is not better. Adequate maybe…..

Well my opinion on this is different. I think the Gripen Ng will be as good as the F 16 IN and even better than it in some aspects. Possibly at the same price.

It will still be a pretty decent fighter if some claims like the life cycle costs are a long shot.

Of all the contenders, bar the Gripen (which too has certain advantages over the MiG-35 as far as paper specs go), the MiG is the most underwhelming!

I really do not know why the Gripen is so far down according to some users here. If the brochures for the NG are anything to go by it offers a revolutionary new AESA design. Good range, good payload capability. Meteor integration with a better A2G integration than the typhoon. It may well be the cheapest of all the Aircraft on offer and has a good safety record. According to (may be slightly biased) statements it has the lowest maintenance costs.

If common sense prevails over politics then the Gripen and F 16 will be right up there.

Its the same as taking a cra*p – you end up doing it even if it stinks.

Mine does not stink 🙂

Yes I did, and I am right – it is NOT a FBR per the IA definition. Go ask any regimental unit which transitioned from the Ishapore and you’d know. But you didnt even know what the Ishapore was and where the Aks were and are being used.

IA is not the only force that uses it. So what IA says or does only matters for the IA. It is a BR in many other armed forces.

Know what a GPMG is? Or what a fire team is? Tell me, what is the equipment with a typical IA COIN unit and what it uses where?

No and if you are trying to look as if knowledge shines out of your ass be my guest. There are a lot of things I know that you do not. I just do not brag about them. 🙂 Even with regards to aviation there are many people here who know certain things better than others and vice versa. 🙂

I doubt whether you have even fired a single firearm. But you talk about them as if you know ’em all – fanboyism yet over again.

Oh wow, then most people in this forum will not be able to discuss any weapons either. Especially our british friends who have fire arms banned in their country. While every one in America can get an Assualt rifle if they have money. So ‘holding a fire arm hardly matters, You can be researching about guns and not actually fire one in countries which have gun control laws, and can be a truck driver and still get an assault rifle in countries which don’t have gun control laws. So big deal.

Heck – you know none of these things. Not even what the term NCO means or what its used for in the Indian armed services. You talk of generals as if they were some cardboard cutouts from a board game and send men to their death in a callous manner. Talk about the services & service decisions in a silly manner without even a days worth of service or toil & sweat.

Really stop being an idiot. Stop defining terms in Indian way only and for heavens sake go to some dictionary or google up NCO. Non commisoned officer means a recruit soldier who is below officer rank ie. anything below the rank of second lt. in most armed forces.

What is worst is you have no interest in the topic beyond your mouth and ego. Refer you to people who have done the work – they are “biased”, people with far more experience than you, whom you should learn from – you dismiss them.

I refuse to believe everything everyone says. As some one has explained here correclty, no one really believes everyhting that is said by people who test and make a product how ever good their reputation is, that is why we have a discussion forum here.

What else is this but absolute foolishness. You are a wannabe!

And what are you a keyboard knight in golden armour ? Seriously you seem to have as much time to waste as you accuse me of having.

Net, hiding behind Swerve and asking him to salvage your honor wont get you far, fanboy.

I am not hiding behind anyone. Swerve and I have had more disagreements and arguments than most people in this forum. But I respect him because he keeps to the topic and never resort to personal insults. He pointed out clearly that the AK is indeed a battle rifle.

Fool in the eyes of whomsoever reads your attempts to stalk me and wonders whether you have nothing better to contribute. You defame yourself with the statements you make.

Stalk you ? Any one who has ever followed our posts know that it has been the other way around with you talking **** about me after every post I make.

People are judged by the quality of what they contribute – and you simply dont have anything of the level of what an Ankush et al bring. And yes, if judged by the quality of what you write, you are “jobless” – you are either not working (since you waste so much time) or you are not productive. Coming to pay, if your posts are indicative of the quality of your research, you are in likelihood paid equivalent to that research would command in the open market (which is not much).

As for me contributing to this forum, I have contributed my fair share either way. What have you done since your first post other than providing your views (which most users do) have you posted any item of interest ? Now don’t try to min mod and be a member like the rest of us. I know it hurts when you work hard for yoru bread and see a man earn much more while working less. Its a sad world. And no market dynamics do not apply to research. Your enconomic sense is pretty weak.

Let me rate you so far on your posts – knowledge of the topic, any topic so far on defence – next to nothing, ability to string together a coherent arguement- likewise, time spent on stalking – infinite, productivity – apparently zero. So if you were truly of import, you would be worried about the real world, not bragging about being banned and reregistering with a new IP, or stalking me.

We have a new forum god. Bow down and worship him and he may judge you well.

In other words – you “are” jobless in the actual sense. You have no life outside the internet. Your ego is defined by what happens here on this forum. Your respect flows from that.

A job is there to put food on your table and provide for your family. The cold reality is that I can do that while not working my ass off like you do. Its a hard world aint it ? You are probably a keyboard warrior from a call centre.

It is the classic case of an internet wannabe. You want to change this image, be something on your own, post something worthwhile, not 1-2 liners without even googling! Build up a rep of someone worth listening to, not someone worth dismissing.

Unfortunatley my ability to post serious stuff is hindered by trying to refute your attempts on charecter assasination. Stop being a prike 🙂

Then get the F35 directly and don’t waste the $$$ on the viper… it’s old news.

India needs its MRCA to be delivered from 2014-15 onwards atleast and JSF will probbaly only be available for non partner nations much further down the line.

Price is also a factor India may be able to afford F 35 in the future, that do not mean it can now especially in large numbers.

No actually it was not – my reply was specific to the Indian context, and I have verbatim quotes from IA/Paramil soldiers to know the reality & quite frankly, I am not even bothered with a reply since the entire issue is out of context anyways.

If you are not bothered then why reply. And no you said it is not a battle rifle 🙂 .

Second, do stop making a fool out of yourself by begging me for a reply and stalking me post to post. This is quite frankly the third or fourth time I have asked you to stop badgering me with your idiocy & its getting tiring. All it displays is that you are essentially jobless and without anything productive to do.

Fool in the eyes of who ? You may be but I am not interested in what you think about me. I will badger you with what you percieve as my idioicy (actually i reply against your outrageous claims and insults). As for the jobless part why should I work when i am paid more than you are to do my research. 🙂

“In fact, the Indian Navy has expressed an interest in the F-35B which has short-takeoff and vertical-landing capability for aircraft carrier operations,” Prins informed the media. “It (the F-16) is the bridge to the F-35 for India.”

Great News. Possibly the best option for the Navies IAC (atleast in my opinion).
