^^^ Good point there on next generation jets. Yeah, it does seem like we do not need to spend massive amounts in developing human-piloted fighter jets anymore. Conventional wars won with air power is probably a thing of the past. The USA, RUS,and CHN probably realizes that they have spent too much ...

That was sad, if so. Karan is just snake-bitten when it comes to singles finals.

What was the main purpose of our launching this strike, I guess to create a deterrent for any future terrorist strikes emanating from Pakistan. Because, anyway eliminating 15-20 terrorists is not going to totally damage their network.
I think the initial purpose was only to test if we could ...

Jay, srini, et al., why did we not hit the command center if we wanted to? Would that have forced Pakistan respond by sending fighter planes into our land and escalate the fight? If we had a chance to hit their nuclear command center and destroy it, why not? Or did we want to hit it and hit the ...

Yes, all of of Pak's air-to-air missile hits can be attributed to the thermal seeking PL15 missiles but all their surface-to-surface missile misses probably are not only due to lack of satellite guidance ability but also because of S-400 interceptions because Chinese may not only be supplying the ...

What India gained - a lot, by proving that we are missile strike gurus now.
What Pakistan got - a little bit more of clarity that India means business.
What jingoists in India and Pakistan gained - anticlimax
What China gained - a big boost to their defense product quality and 40% boost in defense ...

I think the disappointment that some of you have, in not "finishing off" Pakistan, getting POK, etc, is understandable, but you are all being unrealistic. Maybe all the hype in the Indian press got to you, but that was all never on the cards, and never in the plans. The reason why I say that is the ...

That was a seriously good win by Riya!

What became extremely clear over the last three days in India is the utter and complete destruction of any credibility that Indian news outlets (print and online press, as well as online and on-air media channels) ever had. Absolute and unmitigated disaster. The Hindu seems to be the only one source ...

[R2] (5) Ankita Raina (IND,306) l. (Q) Rada Zolotareva (RUS,825), 46 63 26
[R2] (8) Shrivalli Rashmikaa Bhamidipaty (IND,344) l. (LL) Daria Zelinskaya (RUS,1004), 64 62

Junior top-30 and 16 year old Zolotaraeva is not a bad player, and seems to have Indians' number. She upset Sahaja in the Dubai ...

^^ Agree. I don't think he is playing at the top-300 level just yet, even in the last couple of months. About top-400 to 500. Meaning that he will pretty much beat players below 650 any day now, and will occasionally beat a top-300 player or often a top-500 player and might lose to some players even ...

Bad luck. But, before that this was the most aggressive play I have seen from Manas in the matches I have seen so far. He had much more power in his shots and the serve. It was so close to getting a win but he is getting used to this level fast for sure.

Same feeling here. He hit some hard shots ...

I also watched the match at the ATF site (Sorry that we forgot to leave a link here).

It was the first time I got to watch Arjun live. His game was seriously impressive. Solid ground strokes and retrieval abilities, very good mobility and good hands at the net. Not too many weaknesses in terms of ...

Forgot to mention some good work by 19 year old Madhurima Sawant (IND,1362) in the qualies at the W50 in Yecla, Spain (clay) earlier this week... Seeded 14th, she beat Lucia Ros Parres (ESP,ITF-121), 63 62 and then upset the 7th seed Luana Plaza (BRA,920), 63 76(5)... In the main draw, she went down ...
