    Ministry of Defence - Year End Review 2007- INDIA

    I would say this is an overall good achievement. Some major failures Include: EuroCopter deal being cancelled. [Deal for 159 Dhruv compensates to some extent] 155 mm gun deal being scrapped. [No excuses, this is a big requirement]

    I forgot to add 1/4 of that 4.5 Billion comes as US military Aid. This is even more a reason why US would prefer to do business with india rather than keep donating money to your Army.
