There were reports, must have been at least 6 months ago now, that India were already husbanding usage of their fancier Russian equipment (planes etc) in training and exercises to prolong their life as long as possible while they purchased/created alternate equipment. Because they could already see the writing on the wall about future shipments.

They were going to do a public weapon demonstration of some Russian made PGM and cancelled it shortly after it became apparent that Russian missile stocks were low.

Going to be blunt: Because you are not saying anything original. You are practically just repeating a catchphrase at this point.

Yes. War is bad. Ukraine didn't want a War. Russia started a war with the clear intent and goal of ethnic cleansing and now stated genocide. So to come in and drop 3 word catchphrases about a war nobody but Russia wanted is loving pathetic.

We're done discussing this. KirbyKhan has been warned multiple times not to do this. So knock it off.

They needed them because India started a program called the Arjun tank and it was so bad that they had to abandon the program and buy T-90s. The T-90s took so long to be delivered and were so underwhelming that India started up another future tank program.

When they say 3.2 billion roubles, they mean 3.1 billion in golden toilet embezzlement and 0.1 billion in building plaster of Paris and paper Mache "tank traps". the only real one they make will be the one Putin death grips onto while struggling to contain himself when the kremlin wheels him out to "demonstrate" them to the russian public.

The Arjun was almost laughably bad. It also didn't help that our local MIC is slower than molasses when it comes to R&D. There was even one time when the whole fleet of prototypes ended up out of commission because of a lack of spares in 2013, lmao.

Can you clarify what you're prohibiting here?

I'm not arguing about that probe or about whatever rule(s) you're setting, just trying to get what exactly is being restricted for future reference because it's kinda vague, like I can't tell what "it" you're telling whoever not to do again in the second half of the post refers to at all, and I'm not sure what you're saying isn't allowed

bc there's a lot of whitenoise nocontent catchphrase posting in this thread - which, I'm not saying like 'so get them too!!', idc about it, I'm just saying it's there, and allowed, so banning 'repeating tired catchphrases' on its own doesn't make sense

so I'm confused on what is actually being prohibited, like, are you talking about just empty quoting that post in particular or emptyquoting/posting sentiments that the thread disagrees with in general, or specifically low-content posts that the thread disagrees with, or the "war bad" one in particular?

Because reading that as-is has a feel of 'anything that isn't in line with the Ukrainian narrative, from anyone, is unwelcome and will be punished, full stop' which, I don't think you're intending, it's just how i read it and so I'm guessing it'll be how at least some other people will read it & think it'd probably be good to clarify what precisely you're cracking down on

If you come into this thread and post 'war is bad' as if somehow everyone in the thread is not already aware with that: You get probed because its just whitenoise shitposting.

Please do not ask for another explaination because you are lucky that we are feeling generous since apparently reading comprehension is struggling with the 'This is the end of the discussion in this thread' about that probation. I feel like I explained it well in the very post you quoted.

Final warning: This is not the place to litigate KirbyKhan's probations in this thread, of which their are many. Please take this to the Feedback or the SAD forum if you wish to do so

It's a shame because my understanding is that the Indian space program is doing incredible work on a shoestring budget. like, they're pretty different sectors so it's not unthinkable that they'd have very different outcomes, but still.

I mean, as far as the space program goes I have little to complain about, with time and a higher budget eventually it would be the equal of any of the best in the world. Maybe more cooperation, technology exchange, and projects are all we need.

This is absolutely wild and utterly pointless at the same time. I guess in a nominal rational sense it's a good idea to prepare defenses ahead of an attack but if Ukraine is legitimately pushing on Kursk then Russia has explicitly Bigger Problems.

I guess they really expect NATO to invade Russia at this point or something.

Nobody's really ever built a good tank on the first try except for New Zealand.

India kind of had to run into the same problems that other nations did in the past but for their first project, such as ballooning weight with an underpowered engine like the Tiger and Panther, implementation of new technology for a frame not designed to store it like the T-series, or new technology coming out while designing the vehicle like what happened with Duke Nukem Forever.
