MMRCA aircrafts to be deployed to face chinese threat in North East !!

[d14gtc]

We don't actually want Anuchal Pradesh, the Chinese leaders are keeping that claim open just as a political bargaining chip.

Look at how well the Indian economy is doing, look at how well the Chinese economy is doing... do you honestly think they want to fight each other now? Why would either country "rock the boat" when both our economies are doing so well?

I don't blame India for being prepared on the NE though, nothing wrong with being prepared.

In a few years India will reach parity with China in Economic/Military strength... and we won't need to worry about war between us after that. There will be peace in Asia.

I am simply stating reality. China and India are both doing very well in terms of the Economy... why would either side want to start a conflict? There is nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

China already has enough internal problems, with the Xinjiang/Tibet separatist movements, and even worse, the unrest coming from low-income Han Chinese who feel victimised by the Hukou system.

If we "somehow" managed to annex Arunachal Pradesh, we would face hundreds of riots every week from the native population in AP. It would be far worse than the unrest in Kashmir. It would sink our reputation in the eyes of the global community.

Also, the international community would condemn China and sanction us, which would hurt our economy badly. It would also put at at significant risk with regards to an Indian counter-attack.

In short, China has everything to lose, and nothing to gain by attacking Arunachal Pradesh and that is simply a fact. China only cares about what is good for China, and keeping the economy strong is the number one priority.

P.S. I think it is GOOD that India is improving its military strength in the NE, since that will provide better infrastructure for the region (roads etc.), create jobs, and increase the flow of money within the military industry and benefit the Indian economy as a whole. Military spending will boost the economy of the whole region and improve the lives of ordinary people, so why would I complain about that?

define:sucker - chump, a person who is gullible and easy to take advantage of

Make as many overtures as you want but dont let your guard down specifically intended for those that tend to get taken up by all the brouhaha around peace talks until reality hits them on the head. Friendship but with an iron hand. Trust but verify.

If everything was so coo chi coo then the whole story of s asia would have been different.

The Chinese government cares about what is good for the Chinese government. The best thing for them is to keep the Economy growing, that will keep them in power and it will keep China happy.

Read my other post for a cost/benefit analysis to show you why there will never be a war between China and India, in my opinion. The current Chinese leaders (all those after Deng Xiaoping) are pragmatic, they won't do something if there is no profit to be gained.

Feel free to argue against the points I have made in my other post.

Fair enough.

As I said in my previous post, I am in favour of India increasing military power in the NE. Because it would provide infrastructure and economic benefits to the whole NE region.

If it benefits the lives of ordinary Asian people, I am in favour of it.

Its good as long as Its not a provocative Move by the Indian govt, as we have the habit of calling any foreign military Infrastructure near the Borders a provocative move aswell....

Keep it Cool and Calm, Its good for both the sides.... Let it not be a Stand Off situation

 

[amit27]

Excellent idea as the sukhoi 30 mki is ideal for pakistani f16 fighters and the MRCA with AESA will be more suited to counter chinese fighters.

@ Chinese-Dragon
Great Post. You said a lot in not too many words.
BTW, Mr. "Newman" is in transit, he is coming in from Mars. It will take him some time to complete the journey and then get over 'jet-lag.'
Don't take him too seriously !

Thank you for the advice, my friend.

This is a bit confusing...Are we not deploying Su-30 along eastern border...Anyways MRCA deserve to be along eastern border only...no need to keep them on other side...

On a sidenote where will we accommodate PAK-FA which will start arriving from 2016-2017...

they will be stationed close to HAL's facilities for technical support
my guess

FARNBOROUGH: Boeing reveals F-15 and F-18 fighter development plans ​

Boeing yesterday revealed a number of surprising development efforts in the strike fighter market, including an external weapons bay for the F/A-18E/F and the existence of an in-production product stamped "proprietary".

The briefing appeared staged to showcase Boeing's long-term commitment in the manned fighter market despite losing the Joint Strike Fighter contract nearly nine years ago to Lockheed Martin.

Boeing now anticipates that production of F-15s and F/A-18E/F will continue through the mid-2020s, although both lines are scheduled for shutdown in 2012 and 2015 in the absence of new orders.

After unveiling a package of radar cross-section improvements for the F-15 last year named Silent Eagle, Boeing displayed a package of new enhancements offered as options on new sales of the Super Hornet.

The most visible change is an externally mounted pod mounted on the Super Hornet's centreline hardpoint. The pod is able to carry either a mix of two Mk82-class bombs and two AIM-120 missiles, or four AIM-120 missiles.

The external pod would help to reduce the Super Hornet's radar cross-section by removing missiles and bombs from external hard points.

Unlike the Silent Eagle, which was focused on reducing the F-15E's radar cross-section and updating the electronic warfare system and avionics, the new Super Hornet features are intended to provide a broader spectrum of improvements, says Shelley Lavender, Boeing vice-president and general manager of global strike systems.

Boeing also plans to offer other upgrades for the Super Hornet, including conformal fuel tanks and an infrared search and tracking system.

Beyond the F-15 and F-18 product lines, Boeing sees a bright future in the strike fighter market. As the supplier for the Lockheed F-22's operational flight programme, Boeing is deeply involved in the US Air Force's upgrades roadmap for that aircraft. Meanwhile, the US Navy is asking contractors to bid for a carrier-based unmanned aircraft system that could be deployed in 2018.

Both the USN and US Air Force are also starting the process of defining their needs for a next generation air dominance fighter that would begin after 2025 to replace the Super Hornet and F-22.

Boeing's Lavender also showed a chart to reporters that included a new product that enters production this year, but was marked only "proprietary". Asked to elaborate and clarify the new product or products, Lavender repeatedly declined.

r u talking about next generation manned andunmanned aircrafts 6 gen??????

 

[flameboard]

Very bad idea, those aircraft may never see the Chinese aircraft, but they might see Chinese missiles headed their way, the border is lined with radars.

 

[vikraant AC]

rightly pointed out..the problem remains the scarcity of bases in the north east...if MRCA is deployed there ,then IMO it has to be both MKI and MRCA.

since the MRCA deal is almost complete...we should work on the bases on the mountanous region.

if they r to be deployed in n.e. than eurofighter shud be d choice

 

[vikraant AC]

iis that so
then don't u think
india will sit quitly

If India China and Pakistan keep aside its territorial disputes aside and work together we will a larger economy even greater than Europe by no time and even will spend less on defense and more on development
