Even USA has struggled with the technology required for F-35. How will India (with french + israeli help) develop such complex machine? Also, how much money is needed? Is it cost effective?
Remember, China is at least 10-20 years ahead of India in aerospace technologies. India must have an F-35...
After the latest chinese actions, I believe, India made a mistake by purchasing S-400s. If USA does not sell F-35 due to S-400, then it will be a loss to India.
Russia guarantees veto in UN. USA will not guarantee veto in UN. Hence, India must not ditch Russia.
But I do believe, that the latest actions by China, have given more problems to Indian leaders. Status Quo [indulging china with trade deficits; purchasing Russian weapons with the intention...
Yep, we can thank our greatest leader - Nehru - for his vision in creating these giant inefficient behemoths [state owned industries].
As a measure of gratitude for Nehru & his family - India has named many roads, universities etc etc (you name it) after him and his family.
Also, our Nehru...
I used to think the same till the latest actions by China.
My 0.000000002 cents:
a) China has committed a big blunder with the latest actions. They have forever pushed India into the other camp. Basically, India is left with no choice.
b) China is going to loose the 5G market in India.
c) Soon...
India has been indulging the chinese.....India has been very careful not to anger the chinese....hence, India did not purchase any offensive weapons from USA. The latest standoff changed everything.
I think (I hope) it is a matter of time before India purchases F-35 or F-15EX. There is no other...
Please substantiate how china gained more? People say buffer zones always existed? Also, are the latest buffer zones permanent?
Please substantiate why you think India has given something to de-escalate.
My opinion is - China lost more in these skirmishes. They showed their intentions 10 or 20...

With KY in pak custody, India would never harm that guy. India has vested interest in keeping that guy alive.
If (unfortunate) KY is harmed, is pak ready to see / bear similar treatment to that (unfortunate) guy?
Remember, both KY & that guy are patriots, and deserve respect.
a) Assume you entire post is correct (it is not so simple). Then, will you agree that China made a big mistake by not going for the kill? China actually woke India up from it's fantasy (about intentions of chinese).
b) Assuming your post is correct, India does not have a choice other than...
a) You really believe that Indians do not care for another Indian, who is held up & isolated in an enemy country's jail??
b) If you do harm to him, what would India do when they catch the next Pak spy??
c) Please respond to my questions in post # 13.
My last response.
We don't want to hang Rahul Gandhi....not worth it. I wish that he lives for many many many years....he constantly reminds many Indians about what the alternate (for PM) is going to be.
This will discussed / dissected in minute manner. There are many socialists / communists / anti-nationals (India is enourmously blessed with so many of them) in India, desperately waiting to use an iota of any truth in this.
Modi is not a person who will surrender territory. Imagine the...
Similar to Pak quoting our infant Rahul Gandhi, while protesting about 370 in UN.
You must be extrapolating emotional responses of few Indians (during a heated argument) to half the population. All Indians care about KY. Similar to all Indians are grateful to Indian armed forces.
I hope KY...
a) Who are you referring to?
b) In Pak news channels (in past), there was news about a retired ISI man kidnapped by India from Nepal. What happened to him?
PS1: If KY is a spy, then he is doing service to his motherland, just like many of your countrymen must be doing for your country. KY needs...
I am not sure if China got some territory. I am sure Indian govt will never agree for that. The moment that happens, the incumbent govt will fall. However, you are free to think you won some territory.
On the other hand - the latest events really opened the eyes of India. India was thinking...
Why do many pak folks in PDF hate Nawaz Sharif so much? (a) Because he is decided to pursue peace with India? (b) because he wants to keep pak army out of politics? (C) he is corrupt?
If it is point-c, then his alleged corruption is small when compared with (for ex) scandals in india.
I...
Can't imagine the sad state of India, that this fellow is treated as an intellectual / strategic expert.....he is even invited to the conference on feb-26 / feb-27 events.
If this is correct, then he being invited to the seminar on feb-26 / feb-27 events is a disgrace. Communists have always...
My 0.0000002 cents.....
The order for mk1a is not released yet. Given the current realization that 2-front war is real. Maybe, IAF is having second thoughts about mk1a???
If F-21 is way cheaper, I wish India buy 100+ f-21 to bolster the numbers.....
