The request by Admiral Wu is a little bit rude, that showed he is concern about Shivalik like any other officers of PLA navy. Indian navy is very a mysterious force for most Chinese. The invitation for Wu to visit the CiC during exercise is a very friendly gesture there, I really appreciate it.
It's not just matter of money, it's about the ability to develop capable indigenous weapon and deliver it on time. You guys shall emphasize on organizational structure efficiency and who is taking responsibility for the delay and failure, as well as long term plan fit in India's condition.
I think Indian navy is very capable of searching in this region, India declined China cause they don't want China taking opportunity to collect hydrologic data and recon around A&N. Our relationship is not good enough to get a 'YES' from India..
