Those Madrasi poachers have better boats than your third rate coast guard, which by the way should be grateful to our Navy for the benevolence. We shall not stop till we have fished your ocean shelf dry. Then we will go on extracting the resources therein. Do what you have to do, ungrateful wretches.

What is the basis of this claim?

No basis. It's just like saying Pakistan supplying F-16s to Iran to fight Saudi Arabia.

I request both Indians & Sri Lankans to kindly refrain from unnecessary verbal attacks. I feel Sri Lanka may acquire land & naval based surface to air short range missiles, may be in very small numbers. But regarding S 300 batteries, I would say to everybody to wait, till the deal goes through.

Sri lanka is per-dominantly still a cash strapped country. In 2001, Sri Lanka faced bankruptcy, with debt reaching 101% of GDP. The crises also exposed the fundamental policy failures and structural imbalances in the economy and the need for reforms.

The official estimate of what Sri Lanka currently owes its financiers is $65 billion, of which $8 billion is owned by China & Sri Lanka's forex reserves is not even 8 Billion. The country’s debt-to-GDP currently stands around 75% & their income resources are small. 95% of all government revenue is currently going towards debt repayment. Much of Sri Lanka’s pile of debt accrued in the process of initiating an entire buffet of large-scale and extremely expensive infrastructure projects under the direction of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Between 2009 and 2014 Sri Lanka’s total government debt tripled and external debt doubled, as the country engaged in a number of costly undertakings -- such as attempting to build a new, multi-billion dollar city in the middle of a jungle (which includes the world’s emptiest international airport), constructing one of the most expensive highways ever made, as well as other pricey endeavors, such as spending $42 million just to remove a rock from the harbor at Hambantota. Sri Lanka could be in a debt trap, that it may not be able to get out & the correct official figures are still unknown. Their debt is still rising in the present Gov.t — & they have huge bills to pay, which the country has not yet figured out a way, how they will pay.

So they are running on a IMF bail out scheme. Personally I doubt they can even buy ten batteries of S 300. If a country cannot buy like bare minimum 50-100 batteries, it's of no use even buying any. So kindly I request Indians to use their brains before getting in to unwanted verbal feuds. Kindly apply your logic. What will they do with these Batteries when they can't even use them.

Atleast wait for them to acquire the batteries, before having such debates. It's utter waste of time. It's like a judge penalizing a family member, who's going to commit a crime against another family member, when it has not happened & the family members of each family are having a fight for something which is perceived to happen & may not even happen.

If Sri lanka is unable to put a brake to its climbing debt & reverse it, it's going to be a country at the mercy of the international community in the coming years. They may need somebody to save them from dying. Whose help will the Sri lankans prefer at that time, China or India

They still get their numbskulls cracked and flee back to the shyt hole they come from empty handed, and still what insignificant deluded veggie farts like you can only do is throw hissyfits in online forums..

Life goes on..

 

[comfortably_numb]

Oh India didn't bomb it's own then. Remember Golden Temple, Kashmir, Nagaland, Orissa etc.....

No you pathetic dolt, unlike your Air force which indiscriminately bombed your own civilians India never resorted to aerial bombing of its own citizens in Punjab, Nagaland, Orissa(!) or in Kashmir.

Like i said someones getting their palms greased in billions $'s.. I really dont see the logic behind these alleged deal

 

[HeinzG]

You stupid person. We put bombs on terrorists which had air force and a navy among others. Not rag tag terrorist you people encounter in your own country.

Like i said someones getting their palms greased in billions $'s.. I really dont see the logic behind these alleged deal

Why not? Sri Lanka needs a modern air defense system. Otherwise India might pull tricks like the Dhal droppings.

We sure did give you a fcuking bloody nose for your misadventures in '71. And will continue to be your overlords so much so that your progenitors have been genetically encoded to kowtow the Indian line. Meanwhile, we shall continue to use bottom trawlers in your waters you effing Numbskull.

Well we have give the H'tota port to Chinese now. Do what you clowns can about it. You swollen headers only talks but no action.

You know that feeling a piss-poor SriLankan has when he is unable to pay the installments for a home loan and the henchmen come barging in his house late at night. He vacates the house reluctantly and lives in penury seeking crumbs from every passerby. His begging skills aren't exactly polished having lived his miserable existence mostly on monthly dole.

Familiar story, ain't it? How does it feel being taken on a ride? To be someone's playtoy. As the saying goes, beggars can not be chosers.

 

[SrNair]

It's more the fact that Sri Lanka, or at least the military, was unnerved at the Indian reaction after a Chinese submarine berthed in SL port, twice, without due information being passed on to India as was agreed upon between the two countries. Sri Lankans mostly realized that if there was a more hawkish polity in power in Delhi at that time, they'd be staring down the barrel of a very big gun without any capacity to defend themselves.

The SL military, to their credit, does not want to be found that helpless and outclassed in the event India decides to play not-nice in the future. Hence the proposed purchases.

S 300 atleast gives some time to SL in any kind of eventuality .
At least force India or China for a talk before a punishment.

But still that is just a stop gap measure .Both these big nations are powerful to neutralize this system if they want

Who said we were unable to pay the loan. We are more than capable in settling our debt. Just wait till the term of this government is over. Currently SLG is run by incompetent imbeciles.

 

[Theparadox]

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

India reportedly to have S-300, we may be giving that to Sri Lanka after getting S-400

Yes. You are right. It will at least give a country like India some time to think rather than just barging in. Even then if Sri Lanka could place the S 300 system in a strategic location it will give some headache to IAF just to neutralize them.

It is better if we could get the HQ-9

 

[SrNair]

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

Where are you coming from ?
India agreed but which region.
He has some points .Money and military power is not everything .
Civic sense also plays a part .
Thankfully our diplomats dont allow your kind of shit in our corps.

HQ-9 is Chinese moron, are you even Sri Lankan? India is arming Sri Lanka for detection and its obvious for whom and what they are going to detect.
