that's what i thought buy 6-8 or 12 U-214 from germany and stopp them to sell these to PN which definitly delay their modernisation

we already have scorpene so we can twist fench also and russia wouldn't sell sub to PN............ , only their chinese friend left with them..

we should buy rafale and stop french to sell any avionics for JF,mirage,etc to PAF...

It's not possible for us to stop anybody from selling to Pakistan, or China and that is not even necessary imo. As long as we get technically superior techs than they get, we still will have the advantage on our side!
Why should we bother about JF 17 with French Mirage F1/2K-5 a multi mode radar, while we could get Rafale with AESA radar?
The problem at the subs is, France already offered them their new Marlin class sub instead of U214, so even if we take the German sub, they might get a good sub too (although not too much is about Marlin class yet).
Imo, they already got an advantage over our subs by fitting AIP on their Agosta 90B subs, which will make them quiter then our first Scorpenes. And the coasts of Pakistan are close, so they don't need to run the diesel so often and can be a serious threat to IN, especially if 3 more subs with German AIP will come in addition, so another new sub without AIP must be a total no go!

Money can be one factor

Proxy war can be another

Illegal transfer might be another..

So Just saying MONEY might be wrong since we can have examples for all the above mentioned.

Indian navy thwarts pirate attack on Greek ship


Mon Mar 8, 2010 3:13pm GMT
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Indian navy commandos thwarted a suspected Somali pirate attack on the Greek bulk carrier Melina 1 off the Indian coast, East African maritime officials and the Indian navy said on Monday.

Andrew Mwangura, of the East African Seafarers Assistance Programme, said the weekend attack about 200 nautical miles (370 km) west of India's Lakshwadeep islands closely resembled those of Somali pirates.

"The location seems way outside Somali pirate territory but the unsuccessful attack seems to bear all the hallmarks of Somali pirates -- three mother ships, two skiffs," he told Reuters.

India's navy confirmed the incident, saying it despatched elite marine commandos, a coastguard vessel and an attack helicopter when it received a distress call from the Malta-flagged vessel during the early hours of Saturday.

"The hijacking attempt was successfully thwarted and we escorted the ship for awhile and she is now safe," Commander Roy Francis of the Indian navy told Reuters, adding that the team had returned to base.

The navy team was not sure of the identity of the pirates and Somali pirates had not previously been known to attack vessels so close to the Indian territory.

Mwangura said the vessel was transporting coal to India from Ukraine, with a 23-member Ukrainian-Filipino crew.

Somali pirate gangs typically hold hijacked ships for ransom, which often runs into millions of dollars.

India to give IN R91.75 billion for BSNL defence communications network


From Dow Jones Newswires
Monday 08 March 2010

New networks to free up bandwidth for civilian use.

The Indian government Monday said it has approved INR 91.75 billion in financial assistance for state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. to build an exclusive and dedicated communications network for the country's defense forces.

The package includes INR80.98 billion for a network for the army and navy, while INR10.77 billion will go to a network for the air force, junior Telecommunications Minister Gurudas Kamat said in response to questions in the lower house of Parliament.

The new networks, which are being built by BSNL on behalf of the Department of Telecommunications, will free up bandwidth for civilian use. Currently India's defense forces hold a majority of the country's radio bandwidth.

India to give INR91.75bn for BSNL defence communications network


It is a very good step, we will move on to next generation safe and secure mode of communication for voice, data etc.

- The dedicated military satellites for Army, Navy and Air force.

- Phalcon and Indian AWACS

- Dedicated Spy satellite

We are moving towards Next Gen fully network centric and force multiplier platform.

These will also help in Cyber warfare, AeroSpace, Electronic warfare.

We can Jam and cutoff enemy's communications.

Good move. I guess India is seriouly planning to go ahead with next generation warfare techniques.

 

[gen x]

good move

but do you guys know how many % BSNL is using Chinese equipment

and what problem they can face at critical time in future

I think 0%. They got pretty close a couple of years back when they were shortlisted for a tender. But the govt. intervened and it was canceled.

Huawei is mostly active in civilian/corporate use areas and restricted from sensitive areas. Defence is one of them. So too is the North east and J&K.

They have some standard procedures to check for bugs, Trojans, killer switches etc. And DRDO is developing a uniform standard for it to follow for all the foreign purchases.

And, don't forget Chinese are also supplying in bulk to USA.

China is the cheapest source that why some times we opt for them.

Don't worry, BSNL recently canceled the tender because of Chinese angel.

Thanks for posting this important news.
This secure network was approved by the govt way back but it was delayed till 2011. It will be built like the one built along LoC in Kashmir.

It is a very good step, we will move on to next generation safe and secure mode of communication for voice, data etc.

Mate, you forgot India's most advanced soft kill system.... India already have one sophisticated integrated EW system in her inventory ie Samyukta. With com and non-com section it can intercept, jam and analyze all types of enemy com, radar and EW systems. Its activities include ELINT, SIGINT, COMINT and Electronic Attack. Each system can cover 150x70 km area.

how is this going to help?

It will enable Indian armed forces with network centric capabilities and secure and faster way of communication. IAF already have one called AFNET.
