Not an either/or proposition. These two platforms are very different in armament complement, sensor sophistication and overall capability. You need both types, more of the JF-17s and smaller number of J-10CE. The JF-17 serves as a cost-effective backbone for the Pakistan Air Force. It excels...

Bangladesh warns media against airing Hasina's planned address from India Reuters Tue, August 4, 2026 at 5:07 AM PDT 2 min read FILE PHOTO: Sheikh Hasina, the then newly elected prime minister of Bangladesh and chairperson of the Bangladesh Awami League, speaks during a meeting with foreign...

As bang-for-the-buck goes, this MRCA platform is a serious bargain. $3 billion for 3 squadrons is pocket change. Bangladesh has no equivalent air defence assets compared to India or Myanmar, none. This cannot continue. $3 Billion initially is a small price to pay and still far lower than air...

What you don't understand is that these are antiquated "has been" industries where margins are razor thin (value addition is slim to none for India) and where India will be surpassed by much-lower-cost producers like Bangladesh, Cambodia and African countries very soon. India has no unique...

I think beating the Chinese and Taiwanese at manufacturing semiconductors at scale (using a FAB) is an impossible dream. And I'd say for Indians as well, remember I said "at scale". Producing one or two for research is one thing - and being commercially successful at it is entirely something...

Why would we celebrate Foxconn's divestments from India? It portends badly for the region as a whole. Based on current evidence, India's chances of overtaking China in semiconductor production by around 2036 are low. India is building a semiconductor industry from a very small base and could...
