France offers technology to India to build 'desi' missile

Yes, But %95 of it's budget goes for paying the soldiers, Iraq, Afghanistan! I have studied more than you... on this!! Just %5 of the budget goes for the development! and BTW its $750 nearly 800 billion dollar now!

$125.5 billion roughly goes to personnel, That sure does not sound 95% to me! maybe I need to study more.

I was also talking about Iraq and Afghanistan :)! Anyway dont forget they have to pay massive amount of money to the wounded soldiers too! mercs from the other countries, repair of their damage equipments, When you're at war, You have to spend 10 times more (some times even more!). than when you're at peace!

My friend Destructlord,

The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are largely funded through supplementary spending bills outside the Federal Budget. In addition, the United States has black budget military spending which is not listed as Federal spending and is not included in published military spending figures. Other military-related items, like maintenance of the nuclear arsenal and the money spent by the Veterans Affairs Department, are not included in the official budget.

So, again I will reiterate that $500 + billion that US spends is only for defense purpose. OK:agree:

Maybe, But they won't replace the new equipment and new ammo (Which is expensive!). with that budget as well! A bomb disarming robot worth is more than $200.000 they usually get blown up during operations. not to mention the tanks, armored cars and ect... If Iran had not cooled Shi'a groups U.S had to spend much more! Don't forget about Research budgets, Defensive shield budget and...

Keeping an aircraft carrier need almost $1 or 2 billion per year! But building it just require $5 billion (as of 2008), So tell me how many AC does U.S have?

Jets needs spare parts, Fuel and ect... everyday! even tanks and cars need spare parts and fuels! frigates, destroyers, B-52s, B-2... everything! even feeding the soldiers needs money my friend!

They're all coming from that $750-800 billion. It's a huge amount but when you look at it like this, It's nothing!
 
where this discussion is going? You both kahiran and AK 47.

Bosss this project is Maitri or whatever new name they give it is basically Short Range SAM project which has to be initiated as trishul has been converted just as TD.
 
Trust me the only motivation they have is money.

You nailed it !!

When a country has to make a choice betweein soliciting the business of a nation who is planning to spend $100 billion USD for defence acquisations and country who can only afford to spend a couple of billions at the most - the choice they make is a complete no-brainer

at the same time if the nation willing to spend $100 billion USD asks the nation to whom they would be awarding the contract, to take decisions that favors the $100 billion USD nation, it would would be a foregone conclusion that the nation would only be too willing to agree to those pre-conditions and in the process lose the couple of billions in order to get a share of the $100 billion USD

Policies of a nation is dictated by the economy it can develop

Comprende
