This part of your post is fanboy-ism and blind patriotism. History is the BEST predictor of the future (a wise man said it centuries ago and it's been true over hundreds of past years). Pakistan's entire defensive posture has always been India based. If they allow ONE incident from India today, the entire morale of the Pakistan Army who has managed to hold its own in three wars, will go down. Not to mention, when you allow an enemy to slap, what's next? They will try to cut your arm and head eventually. So mark my words and I hope you don't have to remember my post after learning the "hard way"...........any attack from India, into the Pakistani territory will require a response, nothing less. Then, that response would require a response from India, nothing less. And then.........all shiit will hit the fan and spread across crazy. I hope you can imagine the scene of shiit spreading through a fan!!
There were the SU-30's and everything else in 2008 and even after all these years.What happened? If India was SO macho like this article "suggests" through fan boy writers, why did India not attack Pakistan? Well, that's the same point I am trying to make. The Indian Military and Political Leadership think differently then you. They had damaged assess the situation and the outcome. The best option was, to work with Pakistan and push them to provide justice and capture the bad guys. And that should always be the case. Either side dealing with a sad incident, should work with the other side to get proper help to ensure that doesn't happen again, and the bad guys are caught.There is no reason to get hundreds of millions of people killed in a war. It didn't produce anything in the previous three wars and it won't produce a Dollar worth of productivity if a war breaks out again.
Also, remember, in any war, India, due to her economic strength and growing ambitions, loses a LOT more than Pakistan. In fact, if I was a strategy planner sitting inside New Delhi, I would openly tell the PM of India and others, that the BIGGEST hurdle in India's way to be a big regional power (that you guys so want to be), is Pakistan, not China. And a war would weaken both sides, but India would lose the financial and military strength and will go ten years behind v. China (which is your DIRECT competitor at that level). So why lose your credentials to a much smaller country and miss out on bigger achievements in the world when you can settle this peacefully, with trade and no war and terrorism pact like the EU has in place?? So the best option, would be to do a no war, no terrorism and trade pact with Pakistan. And continue to grow as a regional power.
The armed version won't be sold to India until some agreement is in place that these will never be used for cross border offensives. I can guarantee you this. You and some others are too high on blind Indian patriotism but the last thing the US wants is to see a war between the two of these nations. In many ways, the US is more worried about India's financial growth then India is. So the dictation will come from the US. Senator John McCain issues a statement two days ago on Modi's visit that with all that the US is willing to provide to India, Indian better act like an ally and a partner.
This has a strong meaning coming from one of the top republican law maker who actually ran for the President not too long ago. He is VERY well respected and has a lot of say within the republican establishment.
And the last line, its not a machine. Its a lethal and deadly system with tremendous force. It destroys whatever it hits!!
to anyone who have done a tiny bit of research on US arms export laws and policies knows that India wont be getting any decisive tech of weapon system that can build up capability o our armed forces to a significant level.
