We don't need fleet of strategic bombers for nuclear mission,now that SSBNs have arrived.But we should get a squadron of something like the TU-22M blackjack loaded with half a dozen brahmos to counter any PLAN fleet entering IOR in wartime.A small squadron of even 12 such bombers would be able...

Fair point.I agree,but if we can't afford rafale then we might be forced to.

1962 was just the beginning of the indian army.We must thank china for waking us up and start taking defence seriously.Without 1962 there would be no 1971.So you should thank your chinese brothers for that.

We are not expecting any help,thats bonus.We are the world's 2nd largest army,4rth largest airforce and a major naval power as well as nuclear state.We don't need protection from others.Nature has given us adequate defenses in form of the mighty himalayas to the north and indian ocean to the...
