We are not yet there......India started late into this race......I believe other developing nations have at least 20 years or more headstart (I could be wrong).
About 50+ years ago, when South Korea; Malaysia; China etc are working towards developing their economy.....India is working to go...
USA is not against people of Iran. The problem is with Ayatollah regime.
In the context of iran, contributing to downfall of Mossadeh is one of the biggest mistakes of USA (assuming what i read is correct).
It is one of great tragedies that USA & Iran don't like each other. USA has lot more in...
@Muhammed45 - one sincere question to you (as you are an iranian).....
If taliban afghanistan is threat to Iran, then why did not Iran help USA to eliminate this threat in the last 20 years? Is your fear / enemity of USA bigger than the threat posed by taliban??
I am American Indian, and deeply love America + India.
When article 370 is removed in kashmir (which is totally internal affair of India), the liberal leadership of USA screamed their heads-off as if India is doing some genocide (look at the statements of democrats during that time). Luckily...
I think Thaad is offered, but is not as good as S-400.
India needs (buys) relationship with Russia. Most important for India is a guaranteed veto.
Now, I think, we have similar guaranteed veto from france.
India is not going to completely geopardize relationship with Russia. However, India has...
You called me bhangee?? what does that mean?? Is that derogatory? Because I am from India, you called me a derogatory term?? If that is a derogatory term, then shame on you.
Musharraf is not an idiot....based on his objectives, he played smart, as did every PA chiefs including Kayani etc...
My intention is not to troll - pak establishment knows Americans are the biggest fools....the way they are played all these years....
Would pak be able to play similar double game against any other country (for ex: against china) while being an ally of that country?
In their double game...
If there is one mis-calculation from Modi, it is about China. Modi thought China can be humoured with huge trade balances.....but China did not have second thoughts in marching to the border and killing 20 soldiers.
It is wrong to think China will not go to war. They will - when it suits them.
Maybe, some hot-headed folks said those words in heat of moment. China's accomplishments are truly impressive in many areas.
Please don't bring religion into the picture.
What if the high technology items like that amraam missile are designed to self denote instead of landing intact on land (to deny the possibility of reverse engineer)?
@VkdIndian - maybe, your posts indicate that you bought in to the general accepted opinion in this forum that some PAF shown asymmetry etc, and won the encounter on feb 27th?? PAF is generally better than IAF?? PAF pilots are great / smart / handsome / motivated / tier - 1, while IAF pilots are...
Thanks for your reply.
*After F-16 / F-18 lost the MMRCA, both the vendors demanded and received a briefing (Hillary Clinton was visiting India when the briefing happened) from India as to why they lost the MMRCA.
*While I do believe that IAF may not be super enthusiastic with F-16, they might...
@dbc
a) I read somewhere that one of the reasons F-16 / F-18 did not win MMRCA is because their not being delta winged did not perform well at heights (rarefied atmosphere) at India - china border. Is there an element of truth in that?
b) Also, (approximately) how much cheaper is F-16V / F-21...
Can HAL field good avionics? Does India have good avionics solutions? or will they be imported solutions?
I get an impression that India is focussing / focussed on kinetics - FBW; landing on carrier; opening the full envelope, new and bigger aircraft like MK2; TEDBF; AMCA etc.....but did not...
Off-topic post:
I used to go to a coffee shop in bangalore (that is in upscale area), and these trainee IAF pilots used to come over there, and each of them would have most beautiful girl with them. Mind you - these are some of the most beautiful girls that one can ever see [even deepika...
Bangladesh is wisely investing on her people.....let them become a developed nation. I do not know if there is a real threat from Burma. If there is no real threat, then it is better to invest for development.
It is very easy to squander away resources.
Bangladesh has no threat from India...
