US pushes for enhanced military co-operation with India

You r right, India is a other superpower!!!!! Where is this Indian entitlement mentality came from? This is one reason a lot of none Indians can't stand Indian postings. That India is such an unique and important country that deserve social treatment. I think you guts buy into too much western propagandas that want to sell India weapons. And why not? After seeing how Russia screw India over, everyone is getting in line for a piece of the Indian military purchase spoils.

we no supa powah or any of that thing...and so no entitlement is sought just by the rules of the game we refused to understand earlier.

if you want access to Indian market on fav condition then bro yu gotta bargain

NSG entry was premised by American interest as well as commercial transactions. india's non proliferation record also helped a little.

As far as the weapon deal is concerned , it is thye same thing....joint development/ TOT/ sharing of confidential info for deals or else nothing...


yu can argue about the ruskies screwing us badly, i will agree with that assessment.....but Inida is already moving out of the ruskie supply of weapons.....

people will make money where it is to be made, the question is that what else do yu get to the table.....I am sure that the countries that offer us the goodies are perfectly able to say no to our proposals.....BTW the Aussie PM just made her mind yesterday abt the uranium supply.....ouch..

US commanders are keen to develop "more jointness" in military operations with India to enhance strategic combat capabilities of both the forces.

Suggesting that US forces under its Pacific Command(PACOM) were working to "advance and deepen" relationship with India, a top US commander has said that currently American and Indian forces were engaged in as many as 56 military exercises every year.

"What we are really trying to do is to make (India-US military) relationship as routine, formalise and functional in a way that great partners do.

We have two different set of capabilities in some areas and in other areas we have tremendous alignment in our capabilities," Director of India Strategic Focus Group(ISFG) Col Michael Albaneze told PTI.

Albaneze heads the six-member ISFG that advises Pacific Commander Navy Adm Samuel J Locklear III on how to advance and strengthen the partnership with the Indian military.

Comprising of civilian and military experts, the group established in 2009, is often referred as a "mini think-tank" within the Pacific Command, which now has a robust exercise programme with the Indian military.

"We are a small group. We advise the commander based on looking at the situation in South Asia and it helps him so the strategic focus of the group is large relationship between the US and Indian militaries," he said explaining the ISFG's role.

In one of the recommendations, the group has called for more co-ordination between the Central and Pacific commands given that India is on the border of the two. It also advocated more engagement with India in the ******* region.

"What I really want to do is to take that programme from where it is at today and to continue to advance and deepen it.

I would like to look at more jointness in the way we do operations that really enhances the capabilities of both militaries when they are doing exercise," Albaneze said, adding that there are great engaging opportunities between the two militaries.

"We have so many common interests. When you look across the board from everything from national interest... align pretty well.

There are a lot of areas where we do really come together and I think because of that it has developed into a very robust program where we are trying to do things with each other that are mutually beneficial," he said.

As a reflection of the defense ties between the two countries, India and the United States are now engaged in as many as 56 military exercises every year.

Counter-terrorism and maritime security are huge regional challenges, he said in response to a question.

The US and Indian navies collaborations are primarily in the Indian Ocean region, he added

The final requirement for C-17s for IAF is ~25 C-17s not not 40!! C-130J number in IAF may well rise to 30+ if they are bought for utility purposes and for the Indian Met dept. Also we could see the ICG,IN and BSF going for the C-130Js on their own. Also I hear the NSG is firming up requirements for their own independent air assets.

As per Pakistanis India is the puppet of America and they are our MASTERS. Wonder how is this possible owing to the topic of this thread.

Seems, Pakistanis are so use to seeing Americans as masters that they see Americans as everyone's master.
