Yes thats because china was fearful of american intervention in a long drawn war, hence the retreat.
The cuban missile crisis was the best distraction that china could have.
China was close to developing nukes at that time, there was nothing that india could do to prevent china from taking AP...
its only $255 million.
Quite sure trump consulted india before coming to this decision.
India stands to benefit the most and get to control more of afghanistan as a result
problem also is that pakistan is not KSA or turkey.
Turkey and KSA has much for USA to leech on.
One of the problems for israel is that it calls itself a "jewish state" rather than a multiracial country like singapore that embraces all races of people.
If jerusalem is home to many races of people then to have it become as part of israel will make the palestinians angry
guys please move on.
Just because singapore defense ministee say its "good" doesnt mean its any good unless singapore buys a few
An aircraft based on the dassault mirage 3 1956 could not possibly fail
China can give sri lanka the F-31/J-31/J-20 or aircraft carrier anytime.
What can india give to sri lanka? Tejas? Arjun mark 1?
:rofl:
India has been building the same carrier for 8 years but incomplete! China only took 3.5 years with updated design!
This is like a game of love.
India tries...
nothing wrong.
all is fair. india chose to be an enemy
if you choose to live by the sword dont go crying to your mama that you bleed
i find it ironic that nobody points out that india makes loads of cruise missiles, chemical weapons, etc
Actually its better for india to dock their ships in singapore.
In times of war, its easier to track the indian navy ships and to disclose their location to china.
No doubt that PLA intelligence units are established in singapore already.
If there is a conflict, we can aid in the easy demise...
calm down my india children.
singapore's defense minister went to india on a working visit, thats all.
you cant expect him to say that the tejas is a lousy aircraft after india's marshal invited him to sit on it.
Trump would say the same about tejas if invited to fly on it, only to stop short...
No point doing a tech transfer.
With all the "lobbying" by the indian government *ahem* , the best that could happen for India to date is the Tejas which is light years away from a F-16E/F
With all that tech transfer, what will India do? Create another expensive stealth fighter that is light...
Well the J-20 is designed to be used as a strategic asset unlike the J-31 which is similar to F-35.
I suppose the turnaround times matter more for J-31 rather than J-20 - correct me if im wrong.
The design is made to intercept american warplanes/surface assets from california to guam/midway if...
