I thought military uses its own tech too to do imaging. Like with drones, jets and stuff. Even it's own satellites.Yes.

unpopular view but here it goes. There is an institutional paranoia in the babus about Armed forces taking initiatives. There have cases where good officers have been punished for simply giving it back to Pakistan. No one wants to stick their necks out in such cases then.
Interestingly, Nimrod also has a Ground Launched version. Wikipedia indicates an unknown export customer operating it. As far as I recall, the Nimrod was proposed along with Heron TP by Israelis to India. The other export customer is Germany, which is not the likely candidate. Turkey operates a localized version of same, but again, I doubt it is them.
Vijyes aka Kshitij Sharma aka Advaidhya aka Pachawry aka The Enlightened aka Janardhan Shukla. Though in all fairness he didn't use the username Vijyes here. That was in PDF. Like @screambowl he was batty in a way @randomradio can never be.Minus the optimism too.Like screambowl his rants did have a grain of truth in it. Mind you, only a grain, nothing more. Like screambowl, he needed help too. Since he's absent from this forum for such a long time, I suspect he's getting it. Unlike screambowl.
China holds the chairmanship this year. they will get away with it.Pakistan likely to be in FATF Dark Grey list
They may still not to be black listed. Just moved a bit closer to black list. May be give dark grey list
Even the US does not want them blacklisted. They will come up with Pakistan specific colour schemes...China holds the chairmanship this year. they will get away with it.

Sir, do forces have to pay for images from ISRO birds, when they are over point of interest? Also, are those resources too, hard to obtain?Yes.

Pls add 1971 to your contrived context. That would put things in perspective as far as the economy goes.And the tip of an iceberg is always like a grain. Going to be be 9 months soon and winters are approaching. Only FATF blacklisting can inflict cost to their war and intensive economic warfare , but such actions on LOC won't bring any substantial change and Pakistan can sustain long term LC skirmishes. LC actions can only gaurantee that their infrastructure is being taken down every half yearly.
When Musharraf planned Kargil, he did know how much and what would cost him this action. It also costed India as well. The ongoing skirmishes in 1999 then in 2003 costed BJP losing elections due to inflation.
Whenever India has tried to fight any war with Pakistan the next result is inflation and people of India voting out the actual government.
The reason is people of India do not have a narrative , are confused whether shall India go for the POK, would it achieve something for India economiclly, strategically, or like Pakistan's craze to snatch Kashmir, India might go down in economy.
Right now Pakistan is not that brittle nor it's economy such that when India moves the knife the butter would melt easily. It will take some years more before India can actually fight and get the territory in POJK.

@Falcon, let me share an experience of flying with AAC guys. I got married in 1991 and drove down with my wife to Jhansi where my elder brother was posted at that time. I had planned my honeymoon in Khajuaraho. I stayed with my elder brother there. Next day I went to his squadron and he requested his CO if he could take me for a flight. I was serving in IN as a fighter pilot but on leave. yet the CO okayed it. My brother did nap of the earth flying at just 10 feet from ground. I am a decklander but after that got such a scare that I am mortally scared of flying in a helicopter now. I have never seen anyone hop across trees. That is what IA AAC does. As you gain height, the feeling of speed reduces. As a Fighter pilot I doing 480kts at 200feet and a helicopter doing 120kts at 10 feet was more scary. If you ever been to go cart racing, you will realise that those 40kmph carts give you more adreline rush than a formula one car becuase they are so close to ground.
I always felt "At Home" flying over water and also over land but flying hopping behind trees was just too much.Ridden with those cowboys, in almost terrifying conditions in winters in high altitudes. Minima was made minima (not allowed as a disabler of the flight)
But then, even rode in chetak off one LST, flying barely 15 feet off sea, and you know those birds have nothing to navigate over sea.
Those boys & girls and their flying machines.....![]()
Very interesting. I suppose given the uncertain times it shouldn't be surprising to see everybody hedging their bets, including the Taliban. If this is true then Pakistan doesn't have as much influence with the Taliban as they claim. This will screw up Pakistan's plans in Kashmir, assuming they actually expected the Talibs to fight in Kashmir. From India's POV nothing much changes. But it increasingly seems like Pakistanis are losing their "strategic depth" irrespective of however the Afghan war ends, if it ends at all.This is VERY interesting. Could be a game changer in the regional dynamics

I wouldn't read too much into it. The Indian Foreign Policy Establishment has a declared policy of not having any truck with any of these jihadi tanzeems. Observe Bangladesh. A few years ago, apparently the BNP wanted to patch up with India but we're told in no uncertain terms that as long as they were in a tie up with the Jamaat e Islami Bangladesh, nothing would be forthcoming from the Indian side. When the Jamaat reached out to India they were rebuffed.This is VERY interesting. Could be a game changer in the regional dynamics
