A Indian Navy detachment is on its way to Mediterranean to enhance bilateral cooperation between India and different nations.
Our Navy will conduct a PASSEX exercise and pay a port visit to Turkey too.
We spend only 1.72% of our GDP on defence. And it's about defence of 1.25 Billion humans. The 1.25 Billion do deserve this defence budget to protect themselves from invaders.
If this small amount is not spent by India, there would be no poor people left in the first place.
But I bat for...
Your opinion is useless here and wrong too.
Indian Navy itself has agreed to pay a part of development costs for 5 more prototypes.
Indian Navy has only said that LCA would not be enough for all its requirements.Meaning there would be a big brother like Rafale who will be supported by LCA.
Lol , media as usual propagating lies.
NAVY has only said that "LCA is not good enough in its present form [to take care of our needs all alone ]" , meaning N LCA cannot be presently relied upon as the spearhead. It does not translate into , NLCA has been over.

That's your perspective. Which , represents a nation who is not invited even in the premises of the building where Syria is being discussed.
The matter of fact is , this fact hit you hard and all the like a of you who think India is increasing ties with Israel at the cost of others.
For us...
We are right now openly funding Asad to help him restart hospitals destroyed by terrorists and build a new Steel plant.
India doesn't let relations with one nation affect the other. [Except in one case of course]
Screw driver assembly is not what Su30MKI production is about. Had the kits been coming from Russia , and we would have been simply assembling it , your statement might have been correct.
For the rest , read my previous reply again.
If not , leave it.
We bought the ToT to build the aircrafts " under a licence " , which means we can build only the given number of parts , which will usually go to new aircrafts , and not more as we don't have the licence to do it.
But it is a ToT as the whole of Su30MKI is built from Raw Materials of India...
We have licence and ToT to build the aircraft. The initial deal didn't had a long term Spares Supply deal with Russia. So every six months we needed to buy spares under a new contract. Thereby lowering the number of aircraft ready to fly.
