New Delhi, December 5

Expanding its outreach in China's backyard, India will train Sukhoi-30 pilots of Vietnam.

The two sides today agreed to train the pilots. This is the second major training programme after Vietnamese Navy was trained by Indian Navy in operating Russian-origin kilo-class submarines.



The agreement was signed at a meeting between Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and his Vietnamese counterpart Gen Ngo Xuan Lich on Monday in New Delhi.


Vietnam operates Sukhoi-30 MK2 while India operates the Sukhoi-30 MKI.

How about arming them with nuclear weapons?

No one do

Brahmos is good enough.5 regiments of Brahmos will be very useful for Vietnam

 

[Ryuzaki]

How about nukes with yeild of no less than 300 kilotonnes for viets

You can't just hand over nukes to any country

 

[Dem!god]

Of course we can, we are not the member of NSG

Yes , but we want to be one... Ain't we.

 

[Jugger]

Not only training, vietnam can purchase spares for the su30 from India. We can provide all round support for this aircraft.
Also vietnam can purchase brahmos and astra bvr missiles.

 

[Dem!god]

We already have so many waivers why do we need nsg membership. In fact its a blessing in disguise, we can arm countries like viet and taiwan with nukes.

Those waiver can be stopped any time in any meeting. What we will do then. Once we become the member we will have veto.

again brahmos. can't you talk something else because when i talk about brahmos indians mind it.
it's better if you equip your Su 30s with katrina kaif and ashwaria instead of using the word brahmos everywhere.
