That's really good. But we cannot unilaterally do everything. Technically, we need Russian and Iranian cooperation. Having a poor military industrial complex that struggles to even arm our own defences means that we need to rely on other partners as well.
Russia and Iran are equally important and are the two countries that share the same concerns as we do.
Same thing with Chinese. Xinjiang isn't exactly going to benefit with an ISI-backed Taliban government in Afghanistan.
For all his see saw, Karzai seems to be a smart guy. He really set the bedrock for Abdullah Abdullah to take it forward smoothly.
Hardly likely.
MiG-21s are dead now. They are getting thrown out as soon as Tejas and MMRCA serial production starts. AAF will only be sending pilots to their graves if they want MiG-21. Tejas they won't be able to afford even if we can miraculously increase production to 30 fighters a year in the first year.
For now ANA and AAF should stick to the following types of aerial assets:
1- Russian YAK-130 or Czech L-159. Cheap, Easy to maintain, new and from reliable sources. Unless we can rectify problems in IJT-36 and give it to them in time with good quality.
2- HAL LCH: an ideal gunship for high altitude close air support.
3- Mi-17: the most easily usable transport platform around the world.
4- HAL Dhruv: High altitude tactical transport for special units of ANA and emergency evacuation. Turkey already uses them for SAR and MEDEVAC services.
Consequently, Iran can help Afghanistan arm up as well, considering that they are much more self-reliant in weapons production than us. Their influence also means end of Talibunnism, which suits all of us.
True that. But officially, Chinese don't want to participate militarily in Afghanistan. If they can sell them weapons, nothing like it. Although they will be questioned by Pakistanis considering the festering tensions between Pakistanis and Afghans.
I think we will need help from all these countries to get the weapons. China equally faces the risk of Taliban in its western regions and Japan has future stakes at trading and mining in Afghanistan.
I don't know about our Brazilian and South African partners, but R-I-C format has a direct impact if something goes to the blows in Afghanistan.
And till the apparatus is there in neighbouring Pakistan to keep Afghanistan a boiling pot, we all have to cooperate with them together.
But why do you hate them so much?
Why do you want to destroy a country needlessly? They are in no position to attack you and they don't want to attack you. Then why are you having so much hate for all your neighbours?
They have emerged from a war, there is no basic service in the country. Let them stabilize and live their lives, mate.
Anyway don't you keep crying islamic unity and islamic this and islamic that?
Afghans are muslims right? Then why so much hatred against them?
did India ask your permission for various rebuilding activities we did there ?
another dumb statement..just like 'India copying Pakistan's metro'..
