Nice to have c-17s.
I do hope the fresh order goes thru.. US transports are indeed the best, and we're a huge distance away to build such things at home, currently.
Yeah.. just like a "strategic" victory china had in 1962, which ended in 722 chinese being killed and the rest going back empty handed.
Down from 80k chinese in 1962 to a "tent" in 2013 !!!!
I believe Indian army should also invest in microscopes ... after this "tent" affair, next time (say in...
