8,000 missiles from Israel part of Modi's $250-bn plan to take on China, Pakistan

[Reichsmarschall]

Get your best missiles at us, they are no use against our air defenses
Let alone the fact that you wont be able to launch too many, not only because you don't have many missiles that can reach Israel, but because you would cease to exist in a nuclear exchange

i like your optimism

 

[Beny Karachun]

i like your optimism

That's just realism
You believing you can penetrate our air defenses is optimism

 

[Javad]

Whether israeli, indian or pakistani...Don't you guys ever get tired of your warmongering?

Every thread is ruined by 'keyboard warriors' like you guys... you wanna bash an israeli indian or pakistani.. why don't you join a martial arts club to get rid of your aggression. . Just a suggestion.

 

[Safriz]

you give yourself waaay too much credit.
that's as realistic as china being afraid of north korea, our arms race is to protect ourselves from china, not Pakistan. It has always been china since the the late 60's . hell our nuke program in the 70's was purely to keep china and USA away for making any attacks on Indian sovereignty.

Oh , that's why Indian social and electronic media went into a meltdown with ridiculous denial theories after both Babur SLCM and Ababeel MIRV test.
Mighty Indians shouldn't have cared about our missile tests because they are oh so invincible.
P.s .
China doesn't need nukes to deal with puny India.

Some points-

1- Soviet Union was communist so is China-
2- Soviet Union didn't have economically powerful allies- so does China-
3- Soviet Union was spending a lot in non- productive allies with worse economic condition- so does China-
4- Soviet Union was particularly harsh on Muslims- so is China-
5- Soviet Union had 1000s of useless tanks and 2nd and 3rd gen planes- so does China-
6- Soviet Union was competing against a group of Nations alone- so is China-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
n- Soviet Union was very tough on Freedom of expression and other democratic rights- so is China-

US, Japan, India, Australia, Vietnam just need to divide their work- If they seriously want to get behind China- But any such thing will totally depend on the behavior of China-

Try and Ponder-

And how you explain that India account more than 70% of Soviet military hardware and not China , the reason why Soviet bankrupted is because it spend more on military and to add insult to injury Russia rip India off from big military project such as Vikramatiya and PAKFA...India will be dragged into bankruptcy as well...good job Russia.

And you can keep fantasized with you so call coalition, there is no solid foundation to cemented your alliance like NATO, most likely India is been used as meatsheild against China...LMAO, but the reality tell otherwise Russia is now showing mistrust toward India when your government buy American military harware and cozying with US...and that is one of the reason that Russia is willing to sell more advance weapon to China and have no objection to sell engine for Pakistan's JF-17.

Actually, if you had read something besides the little red book - you would know about the food shortages in Soviet Union, the disparity in the population and glasnost and a slew of other reasons which lead to disintegration of S.U.

You mean just like how American media sensationalized and mocks north korean nuke program ?

Grow up kid , we didn't need a nuclear program to face Pakistan , especially in the 70s right after splitting Pakistan in half , it was to prevent China from attacking India. India used its Soviet influence to stop China from meddling.

You should be the last person questioning Soviet hardware of India- from Varyag to making another copy of Varyag- Buying a rusting ship and painting It to be your flagship-

And while India is a joint partner in PAK FA- China still has to by Su35 which was rejected by the Russian Airforce- must be an achievement on your part after spending 10 billion $$ on engine development program and still importing 3rd grade or 2nd grade Soviet engines- indeed god Job Russia and even better Job China-

It is not we who fantasize- Its China who is always scared and keeps "Warning"- Chinese got so concerned that previous Govt- even stopped naval exercise to make you feel better- But then there is a limit to baby sitting-

As of now Russia is still a partner in 5th gen fighter program and they are selling their nuclear attack submarine to India- In fact It is the Russia who have trained Indian submarine crew to operate such submarines long time back in 80s-

I lived during Gobachev's glasnost time, I don't need to red the little red book.

That little red book is this- are you even a Chinese-

India is close to signing two defense deals with Israel as it seeks to deepen ties with the Middle Eastern nation before Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit in July, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The deals include anti-tank missiles and a naval air defense weapon system, the people said, asking not to be identified given the information is private. Still, the plan for the first trip to Israel by an Indian prime minister indicates that cooperation goes beyond Delhi’s status as the largest buyer of Israeli military hardware.

"The visit is a big milestone," said Shailesh Kumar, senior Asia analyst at political risk firm Eurasia Group. "Officials in both countries believe they face a common external threat: terrorism. Working with Israel fits into Modi’s bigger pivot of deeper relations with the U.S. given the U.S.-Israel friendship."

The deals for Spike anti-tank missiles for India’s army and Barak-8 air defense missiles for its navy are expected to be finalized in the next two months, the people said. The pacts are worth $1.5 billion, they said, and will see the delivery of the 8,000 missiles will begin two years after the contracts are signed.

They’re part of Modi’s $250-billion plan to modernize the armed forces by 2025 amid tensions with neighbors China and Pakistan.

The purchase of Spike missiles was approved by India’s Defence Acquisition Council in October 2014 and the Barak-8 purchase proposal was given the go-ahead in a meeting on April 3 this year, the people said. Defence Ministry spokesman Nitin Wakankar declined to comment on the deals.

Israel was the third-largest arms supplier to India in the three fiscal years ending March 2016, having bagged 10 deals worth a total of 76 billion rupees ($1 billion), according to an Indian parliament report. Only the U.S. and Russia have made more defense deals with India during the period.

"India-Israel ties have always been strong but never have they been widely publicized,” said Ankur Gupta, New Delhi-based vice-president for Aerospace and Defence at Ernst & Young. "There is great strength and value in this relationship as Israel is one of India’s foremost supplier of weapons and related high-end technology."

Since Modi came to power in May 2014, his government has shed his predecessors’ reservations on talking about India’s ties with Israel.

"India is gradually disengaging itself from its traditional and ideological foreign policy approach in the Middle East," said Alvite Singh Ningthoujam, a senior research associate at the Vivekananda International Foundation.

"It is also a clear message that India does not anymore have qualms in getting closer to Israel, and is wielding an independent foreign policy and not at the cost of its relations with any other countries in the region."

Billion Dollar Deal
The missile deals follow transactions finalized last week for India to obtain medium- and long-range surface-to-air missiles worth $2 billion.

The medium-range missile was developed for the Indian Army by IAI and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation in collaboration with Israel’s RAFAEL and IAI/Elta, and included Indian companies like Bharat Electronics Ltd, Bharat Dynamics Ltd and Larsen & Toubro.

Both deals form part of Modi’s ‘Make in India’ program, designed to stimulate local production.

"These missile systems are key to adding to our strategic defense capabilities against platforms owned by our neighbors" including anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, armed drones and modern fighter aircraft, said Anurag Garg, aerospace director at Strategy&, a PriceWaterhouse Coopers consultancy.

8000 thousand missiles are these missiles quality is not good enough? this is weird i think its 800 not 8K.

Which world you are living? Su-35 58 planes are operational in Russian air force (4 squadron) and they order another 50 planes in January 2017 (http://aviationweek.com/defense/rus...m=email&elq2=30dd13b492f94fb29cbbfc1d3acb283b). 24 planes order by China out of that 4 were delivered by Russia on 25 December 2016 (http://www.defensenews.com/articles/china-receives-first-advanced-su-35-flankers-from-russia).

You are too humble.
I think Indian nuke program was supposed to keep aliens way from lauching a stike on human being.
What a human savior india is !

We would be delight to have an arm race with India, see who will be bankrupted first like Soviet Union. 90% of our stockpile is for Japan and US in pacific but If India want to get our attention, their wishes are our command.

But China don't need to spend 250 billions to take care of India, we have over 5000 of J-5, J-6 and J-7 combined that can converted into a GPS kamikaze missile drone (one way ticket), India will be a good junkyard to dispose all these retired planes...but first we will make sure it land on right target then India can help us properly disposed its.

Make sure they can flyover mighty himalayas
