With India in the Pak-Fa program...choosing Mig-35 would be a total waste.India will have access to all the latest Russian tech Russia is willing to share thro the 5 th generation fighter project so why waste money on the Mig -35. India should take either the F-18 or the Eurofighter.
You cannot put in a reactor just like that.You need to break the hull open put the reactor in then weld it.Now why on earth will India make the hull then break it open to put the reactor in?
What a stupid article.
Making Walmart products and having western countries set up manufacturing units for cheap labor is not the same as building an advanced manufacturing base,but let us leave that for now.
I guess if India's nukes are so low in power..then they should keep making as much as possible till they...
There is always restrictions on American military hardware sold.The F16's sold to Pakistan are inspected every year to see what has been done with them(for instance to ensure they are not reverse engineered or modified without approval) and when sanctions were imposed,spare parts were held back...
Pakistan won't get it...Zardari has been asking for this for some time.Only the closest allies of the US have got this and Pakistan is not a close ally.And in the current political environment with Obama on the backfoot,he won't even dare do any controversial moves.
Anyway from what I have...
China has a cheap export driven industry..India has a better domestic consumer base.Different models.
Anyway India will end up having the 3rd largest economy after US and China so that makes her an automatic player in the global market.And does it not makes sense to tie up with one of other 2...
I have seen you post many times about driving Hindus out which is why I posted that.
Anyway..why is it that most muslim countries don't give minorities the chance to obtain the top posts? Can a Hindu be the head of the govt in BD?And would you have a problem with that?
A 1.2 trillion economy with 8% growth is not comparable to Pakistan.
As for the Holbrooke visit...Democrats in power have never been good for India. Expect relations to go south very soon with Obama in power.
Kind of hypocritical isn't it your calls for wiping out Hindu's from the islamic state of BD when you yourself are sitting in the US..a Christan country?
I may be wrong but does not India have more arable land than any country in the world except the US? I don't think they will have any trouble with their population.And has not the population growth reduced in many parts of India already?
And the excess population can be moved to the east...AP...
No need to separate anything..just recognizing Tibet as even disputed area will p1ss the Chinese off.India has never done that.
Dalai Lama was not created by India.
India does not need 12,000 miles range to cover her neighbors. The technology is there and was developed when the GSLV launch was conducted.A GSLV is a crude ICBM...just remove the satellite and put on a warhead as payload.
Making a 12,000 range missile operational will only p1ss the...
Maybe India should take a soviet/russian rifle then without any regard for patents re engineers it..plasters a name on it and call it's home made...wait someone else does that.
If India can build a GSLV which she has..then she can make a ICBM.Both have the same principles.
You mean like how Chinese essays propagate breaking India into 30 pieces..that type of "acceptable" propaganda?
If India really wanted to cause trouble with the Dalai Lama,they should have refused to accept Tibet as a part of China.
So why not develop Agni's and leave it at that...correct me if I am wrong but does not Agni 5 give range upto Beijing? What else is needed?
India should spent according to her defense needs not go after wild goose fantasies..just because you can make something does not mean you should make...
Why does India need 12,000 range missiles...all they need is enough range to cover all parts of China.How much range is needed for that 6000 km?
It should not be a big deal anyway to make ICBM based on the Indian GSLV space launch vehicles.Same principles.But why waste money there?
OP...Shouldn't the topic of the thread be "More bad news for Russia"...looks like they just screwed themselves out of a 10-12 billion dollar contract.
I don't think India should buy the Mig anyway...India will get access to all the latest Russian tech it can thro the Pak-Fa program so why not...
