Condoms 'too big' for Indian men
By Damian Grammaticus
BBC News, Delhi


A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.
NO OFFENSE.

India set to build Medium Combat Aircraft

Ajai Shukla / Bangalore May 02, 2009, 0:11 IST

With India’s home-built Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) — the Tejas — flying successfully through its testing process, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has now signed up for an indigenous Medium Combat Aircraft (MCA). Within days, the IAF and a team of aircraft designers will formally set up a joint committee to frame the specifications for India’s own MCA, which will be built largely in Bangalore.



The MCA’s design team will centre on the agencies that have built the LCA: the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA); the National Aeronautics Laboratory (NAL); Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL); and a host of Defence R&D Organisation (DRDO) laboratories that will develop futuristic sensors and systems for the MCA.

The director of ADA, Dr PS Subramaniam, confirmed to Business Standard, “The joint committee is likely to be formed within two or three weeks. This committee will finalise what will go into the MCA, as well as the budget and development schedule.�

According to Dr Subramaniam, the programme will aim to develop the MCA and build five to six prototypes at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore. That is approximately the same amount that has gone into the LCA programme.

With this, Indian aeronautical designers will be working in all the fighter categories. In the light fighter category (10-11 tonnes), the Tejas LCA is expected to get operational clearance in 2011; the MCA will be India’s first foray into the medium fighter category (14-15 tonnes); and in the heavy fighter category (20 tonnes plus), currently ruled by the Russian Sukhoi-30MKI, Indian designers plan to partner their Russian counterparts in developing the Fifth Generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA).

Interestingly, the decision to develop an indigenous MCA comes alongside the overseas procurement of 126 Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) for an estimated Rs 50,000 crore. Senior IAF planners point out that the MMRCA procurement is unavoidable for replacing the MiG-29s and Mirage-2000s that will become obsolete while the MCA is still being developed.

By 2020, when the IAF’s current fleet would have been largely phased out, MoD planners forecast a requirement for at least 250 medium fighters. This has raised hopes amongst the MMRCA contenders (the US F/A-18 and F-16, Russia’s Mig-35; the Eurofighter Typhoon; and the Swedish Gripen) that the winner could end up supplying twice as many fighters as the current tender. But a successful Indian MCA programme would cap the MMRCA procurement at 126 fighters. After that, the MCA production will kick in.

The MCA designers plan to pursue technologies superior to anything currently on offer.The ADA director points out, “None of the MMRCA contenders will be state-of-the-art in 2015-2017. But the MCA will;it will incorporate the technologies of the future, which currently feature only on the US Air Force’s F-22 Raptor.�

India’s aeronautical designers see the MCA programme as crucial for taking forward the expertise that has been painstakingly accumulated in the Tejas LCA programme. The IAF is in agreement; and the Rama Rao Committee, set up for restructuring the DRDO, has recommended that programmes must be created to provide continuity for designers.

Says a senior MoD official: “With great difficulty we have built up a team that can design a complete combat aircraft. After a couple of years, when the LCA goes into production, there will be no design work left. Without another aircraft programme to work on, we will lose this team, having attained this level.�

Tahmed was depending on the "nuclear deterrant" power of the Islamic "bum" all these years. Now he has a problem. Before the Indian Space Mission to the moon, tahmed had been ready with all kinds of zingers to throw at Indians at Chowk. But even after fasting day and night in his neighborhood mosque and praying to the moon-god, the mission to the moon went without a hitch. Now the Hindoos are creating a missile defense shield? Life isn't fair, dammit!

I think more praying to alla is needed.

Yep. I agree again. You know what they say about blondes don't you?

Anyhoo, now that the Khyber pass area has been "purified", how is your beard coming along? Any women in your family been publically spanked recently? If so, please accept my sympathies....Otherwise, I am so relieved. Please take care.

I pray to my god to ask Allah to protect you all. They belong to the same country club up there...

khyber:

"The study of world phenomenon on corruption has repeatedly branded India as one of the most corrupt countries in the world."

There is probably more corruption in China and some other east asian countries, but with a difference: in those countries, once you give money to the right party, you can be certain that your work will be done; in India, even corruption is inefficient, you can bribe people and still may not get your job done. Even mafia is more honest than the Indian politicians and administrators.

I agree Zardari is indeed a "Statesman" of the highest caliber. I particularly liked how he was panting like a puppy and refused to let Sarah Palin's hand when he was introduced to her as a head of state. I bet that made all the macho Pakis chests swell with pride.

For that alone Zardari should be awarded "Nishan-e-Pureland"

Re: # 449

Khyber - I agree that Zardari is a statesman. In fact, Pakistan needs more statesmen like him. Happy now.

Just to let you all know. I am completely "neutral" in this "purification process" going on next door in the Pureland. I can appreciate the goals and aspirations of the people involved on both sides of this "purification process".

I just want see this process continue for a loooooong time. For this, I really think we Indians should offer "moral and diplomatic support" to both sides (one overt and the other covert) and possibly material support to keep the pot boiling. I think it will be worth every penny.
