Lol China can decide the fate of Indian navy with our Df-21d positioned in Tibet, we can guaranty that none of Indians warship would dare to dock in Indian ports ever again for refuel and resupply, India will never be the sanctuary for its warships. Some Indians are crying if we do that is equivalent of Nuke declaration.
unless you are going to nuke Indian naval base it ain't going to work.
using land based ballistic missiles to hit a ships at sea are questionable
As usual,the US is using India as a tool while at the same time feverishly making under-the-table deals with China。
Especially deals of an economic nature。
The US is smart。
india relations with china are determined more by China's behavior than America
You are wrong, No deal was signed for Qing class submarines...it was just rumour, published by irresponsible media.
IHS Janes published an article last year, that Pakistan was in negotiation with Chinese for 6 S-20 and deal will be finalised by end of 2014..but December came and went, nothing was finalised.
chinese submarines are not great. i would negotiate with germans and french. they make the best non-nuclear submarines on the planet.
