Indian Air Force Glorified - not Navy





The 81st Anniversary of the Indian Air Force's formation. Air Forces always have the flashiest hardware of the three services. Army tanks and Navy subs just don't rate - one reason why Navies build carriers.




Meanwhile - an Indian Navy cover-up - of a 2009 collision that severely damaged INS Ranvir and INS Kuthar outside the Indian East Coast naval base of Visakhapatnam.

Such collisions never happen to the Australian Navy - or do they http://youtu.be/D1EQwWyf9sE (?) and years earlier the same carrier, HMAS Melbourne, collided with Voyager http://youtu.be/ieDO7woa5iU.

Commenters, please limit your comments to a short paragraph = 5 lines. I'm not ungrateful - but can't write 2 or 3 short articles per week if I'm fielding essay length comments. Pete.
