Sri Lanka negotiates with Russia to acquire S-300 and Buk air defense missile systems

[boxer_B]

I didn't know Supa Pawa India controls Russia's defence industry by importing so many stuff.

I also didn't know China doesn't have any lobbying power in Russia, with whom Russia's geopolitical interests overlap much more than with India (Quad/Asian NATO?).

Your Bananadesh wouldn't be here if any of above was true!

BTW, India is most trusted partner of Russia period

 

[jetray]

it is more like how can i make money through corruption
Buks are fine. The S-300s are too expensive to operate

Well they can buy whatever they want without bringing in any foreign powers to the region.

For a small country like lanka it might be an overkill, if lanka thinks they are great britain so be it.

 

[Basel]

And you think Sri Lanka can replace India even in one tenth of orders to Russia? You think all these banana republics surrounding India overburdened with loans will act as balance to India's rise?

Keep wishing!!!



It's not about overconfidence but killing your golden duck for Russia for a final settlement and at the same time assuming India will fail against S-300. This is assuming India will employ air force against banana republic of Lanka.

Their S-300 will be different from what India have, remember tech from S-350E & S-400 will be utilized in latest S-300 systems.

The issue is who they will be pointed at?

It looks like India has succeeded to annoy another neighbor down south by its Supa Pawa dreams.

Stop dragging India into everything

Why so concerned about purchasing of equipment of an independent country?? It's non of anyone business what a country do for it's security and safety.

I was correcting the misinformation started by you on the Indian arsenal.

If you don't know facts then don't make things up

While i dont see the logic behind this purchase except some politicians in the current regime making some billions off it.. But Claiming SL a country with people that live longer, Healthier, More educated and most importantly have civic sense to use a loo and thrice as more richer to an Indian a banana republic.. India must be some epic Shyt hole

Sri Lanka has a great history of bombing its own population, maybe they now feel threatened by the ever expanding coterie of radical Islamists.

India probably has more than ten times the population of Sri Lanka that earns ten times than avg Indians. But you like all Pakistanis would like to see glass half empty.

Don't EVER compare India to your banana republic, getting ripped off by Chinese in loans and even got beaten up by B grade Bangladeshi team who mocked you at your own soil.

SL isn't even deserving enough to have Indian embassy, forget about foreign policy. BTW, Congrats on leasing your port for 99 years against Chinese loan. Only rich lankans ran to Pakistan for cricket like a hungry dog towards bone inspite of intel inputs. Result

There is a good reason why Sri Lanka, a country that looks like a piece of $hit is situated in the nether areas of the INDIAN subcontinent.

First thing is India & Sri Lanka can never be enemies. We can have small differences time & again like any family has arguments & fights. But it will never lead to war ever. We had some differences for a brief period with LTTE & IPKF in the 80's, which has long been sorted & buried. There was a mis-conception with many people in Sri Lanka that all Indians are Tamils till the 90's, due to low literacy & our economies still backward at that time. Recent small issues have been with fishing because of Indian fishermen using mechanised trawlers

We have deep cultural similarities & we have atmost love & respect for our Sri Lankan brothers. Historically and culturally, the two nations have been considerably close, with 70% of Sri Lankans continuing to follow Theravada Buddhism to this day. Buddhism was introduced into Sri Lanka in the 4th century BCE by Mahinda, the son of Indian Emperor Ashoka the great, during the reign of Sri Lanka's King Devanampiya Tissa. People like A. T. Ariyaratne of Sri Lanka has spread non violence and community service activities on Gandhian philosophy.

Tourism is one of their big industry & India is Sri Lanka's top source of tourists. India is active in a number of areas of development activity in Sri Lanka. About one sixth of the total development credit granted by India is made available to Sri Lanka. There are many other areas we are in co-operation for trade & development.

India is Sri Lanka's closest neighbor and friend. Our destinies are interlinked. Definitely I have never felt any hatred or threat from Srilanka. When I was in Botswana our office had rented a property of a Sri Lankan & we were frequent customers to a Sri Lankan restaurant named Chutney next to OK foods (Universal Estates) for having dosa, uttapam & Kuttu parata. We used to go disco & clubbing at Bull & Bush, which I am not sure if it was owned by Sri Lankans. Anyway overseas I have met many Sri Lankans who play together, party together on weekends, enjoy desi music & many bachelors even live together with Indians. You will find Indians & Lankans in the same neighborhood. I even have a close childhood Tamil Indian Christian friend of mine married to a Buddhist Sri Lankan & settled in Colombo.

Sri Lankans can share their opinion, if anybody differ with me.
