Very true, this is a game changer for India, India is putting out ships, not just words, and its taking a risk of escalation with china because of it.

Actually this is a return of the favour that they gave us by helping our rival western neighbour.
They unwantedly interfere in disputed Azad Kashmir and starting to intimidate us.They already played their game nowwe are doing the same.Thats all.

Vietnam has their own policies and decisions .Noone can influence them .That is why defeated US and China in their soil.So whatever weapons we are going to supply them it would be secure in their hands and I hope tech of these would also secure in their hand.
But Chinese dont have that much confidence when it comes to our western neighbour.

But still China providing weapon system to that neighbour, which pointing that weapon no other but to India. Its become necessary for India, year by year, to start involving in ASEAN, and start equipping them with Indian weaponry. I think for India, SCS is much more important than Afganistan.

I read today that the Pakistanies want to buy the J-31 and VT4 tanks from china.

You hit the nail when you said: "VN is the only one in SCS having independent policy.".

Japan on the other hand has USA, very different situation.

@Viet Makes sense?

well, I guess despite all conflicts with China, and all the talks of balance of powers, Japan has no interest of having Vietnam with a strong navy, that can compete with theirs. as far as I know Japan still keeps arms embargo on Vietnam.

@sreekumar In laymen terms, that two billion we spend on Af, it seems me like, that was waste. We should spend that by giving militaristic aid to Vietnam.

That's for sure, the Pakistanis will double cross anybody, just ask the Americans.

Well we know how the NK got the nuke bomb tech.Chinese are not that fools to supply their most advanced tech to Pakistan.

that is expected. China will not be amused if India arms Vietnam. the $1 billion question is if the Modi government is ready to take on the dragon?

You can see from Modi's visit to Japan that they care a lot about their relationship with India, but they see Vietnam as too small a player or not capable to deter china. Well, its their mistake. They care more about Philippines, they are getting 10 new ships as a donation, that shows the difference.

Most important systems that needed for SCS nations is Naval Systems .And we have indigenous capability in that field.

I believe Modi will.

J31 is still at least 10- 15 years away.We already have a FGFA program.Pakistan dont have any other choice except Chinese.Since they dont have money.
But we will increase our support to SCS like they did to Pakistan .Bro you should delete that term.Pakistanies dont like that designation.

no, actually, the Japanese know they can fool others but not Vietnam. so they are luring the Pinoys and Indians as Japan knows these are no competitor for them in East and South China Sea. In this regard, the Japanese are very similar to Chinese. well, I don´t blame them. politics is dirty.

not all know this news: for the first time ever, our Gepard frigates patrolled and staged naval exercises in the Malacca strait. More of such fun games will come soon.

Now that the Kolkatas and Kamortas started to roll out, India will plat a much bigger role in the Indian ocean, etc.

No bro.We also need Afghanistan.By helping them we already created a huge network in there.
