United States curbs on Javelin missile sale cloud Indo-US relationship

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

I agree, these missile cost so much...
Americans in aghanistan give them the nickname porsche because each one cost same as a porsche.

Make a javelin indigenously. Now that India is developing seekers, there is no technological barrier that is preventing it.

Why are they being used in Afghanistan?

The Taliban don't have Tanks

When will they learn? Technology denials don't work. What happens is that the country to which technology is denied eventually develops the technology indigenously ,and then competes with the other country to sell this technology.

I seen a video of them using it against some sort of a shelter.

Buddy, you might google for Javelin once more if you confuse it with Pinaka.

mistake: I was talking about India's anti tank missile "Nag".

 

[metro]

Why would Indian Army need Javelins to begin with? Are the al-khalids or chinese t-99s really that threatening?

I mean, these missiles are really expensive, with a cost of at least a 100k each, the total figure would probably run into billions.

Its not that the US doesn't want to provide you military tech, its probably because of the corrupt political babus who wouldn't get their share from these days out of the American companies. But much easier to deal with Russian, french and israelis relatively for the babus.

Im sure this the case. If they can give us 100 missiles for eg, they can also give 500 missiles too..
i dont see any problem in that..
im sure its our babus that r creating unnecessary hurdles maybe becoz they are not getting the ghoos as per their demands

precisely!!! I don't think Javelins are being used in Afghanistan theatre

Really! You wanna use an anti-tank missile to take out a shelter which can be taken out by a RPG???

 

[Rajaraja Chola]

Phew i am relieved... US can never be trusted in arm sales... During critical times, they will stop supplies... Its better we opt for Israel or Russia !!!

Again you did mistake , NAG is carrier(NAMICA) based ATGM but Javelin is man portable ATM.

 

[Raje amar]

India definately hase the ability to producs its own man portable ATGM. it may take few years, fill the gap with missiles from other sources. i never beleaved in theose Yankes.

cancle the ATGM deal and also the Apache deal. at the time of war when we will need them the most, these Bas**ds will put a sanction & these helis will be sitting ducs without spares.

WTF ?! They seriosúsly use Javelins against the Taliban?
Now its no surprise that their defence budget is at 900 billion dollar
