Nice. Very good. So funds will go to domestic R&D programme.
That also means India is beating China in human space-flight technology with its home-made stuff while China got it from Russia.
And how you will defend your new daddy(USA) for selling new F-16 & Precision guided bombs to Pakistan? Maybe we are jumping on guns, as you put it in typical Indian-american english?
I am sure USA is not naive. They know what they are doing by enhancing Pakistan airforce. But I am not sure...
So, whats your solution to this "crisis of ineffective weapons"?
Please answer in yes/no -
1. If you think Brahmos is an "ineffective weapon" then why Army inducted it? You mean Russia forced Indian Army to buy an ineffective weapon?
1. Should we stop making Brahmos(300km) versions, because you...
Tharoor is a Nehruvian. A toothless talker. Good speeches, no balls. A moralist.
His only job in GoI is, to live in five-star hotels, enjoy costly food on Indian public money and roam around world preaching morality to others.
He is favourite of his puppet PM.
Main problem is not PakArmy or ISI. Real problem is USA who is using PakArmy/ISI against India.
Same was true with Khalistan movement whose leaders got guidance from USA,UK.
American power is in "dollar" system. Whole American Military is not enough to enslave 1.2Billion Indians. See Iraq. Is military power enough? Nope.
Military power is useful only if it succeeds to instill fear into minds of those who matters i.e. ruling elites of country.
Thats what has...
Taking on america?
Sure, why not? Begging for F-16/F-18s and taking on america with it?
Take my advice dear, first India should learn to instill some confidence and pride in their kids who run behind American green cards. So, maybe you should ask them if they call you mad for being rude to...
Pak doesn't need a counter strategy really to stop Indian surgical strikes. IAF needed american approval to enter P0K and attack terror camps, even during war-time(Kargil). And they failed to get it.
So, Indian surgical strikes is newspaper stuff only to calm Indian audiences post 26/11.
Thats because MoD has refused to fund 360 degree version because they don't want to increase DRDO's budget but are ready to pay higher costs for 3 more AWACS from Israel.
Also, IAF has delayed DRDO AWACS project first by sitting on project files for 3 years(it took IAF 3 years to tell DRDO...
That's a naive thinking.
So whats your solution to securing Indian interests? India should close Nuclear Submarine programmes and declare "We are peaceful only"? And, you propose that works? or you think, we haven't tried that path already?
I would say your thinking is "moralistic" and world...
DRDO labs have made a better AWACS but additional funds were denied for faster integration onto Embraer aircraft because MoD preferred to focus on "imports" because ministry view is "India will die if we don't imports weapons immediately now".
Same old story. 1.5Billion$ for Israeli imports...
Of course, USA doesn't mind India talking loud. Talking doesn't harm anyone. Rather, it helps puppet save some face in local Indian audience/public and cool the public pressure for action post-26/11. Masters(USA) know how to control their puppets as well as how to keep them happy.
But India...
Whats nice in it?
The army should stop using police against terrorists. It only wastes precious human lives.
Fight against terrorism is responsibility of army and they should not ask police to fight it. They are not trained for it.
Police should rather focus on improving law and order...
Thats how most Indian R&D projects in DRDO are killed with deliberate delays by corrupt babus in MoD.
And then contracts goto foreign companies. And, people unaware of this corruption praise Israelis and blame DRDO.
(LCA got first funding in 1989. First flight in 2001. Which country on earth...
After next terror attack, Indian PM will issue a standard statement - "This is unacceptable. I value human lives. This is war against terror. We must stand up again and fight against terrorism. They can't divide us. This terror incident has made us more united than before. We must not bow down."...
