Both C-17 and B-2 were included in last year's list. Much of the gear shown here are relatively very new or going to be implemented soon.
 
That means, india will also have one of the costliest weapon in the inventory..!!!!
Don't know, how navy even agreed to this deal ??
And they are going for 24 of P-8i,it's ridiculous man...:angry:
 
^Currently 12 on order with additional orders planned. It's a deadly weapon, don't underestimate it.

With China having tens of Submarines, it is the smartest move Indian Navy could have done.

Aircraft carrier is much more expensive if you add 30 fighter jets to it, and some 500 crew members and them lots of petrol, and the missiles for all the extra jets etc.
