The irony of the past few posts is that they actually and truly represent the ideological mindset of two countries.
CONVERSATION TODAY:
India... "we are doing abc today, its good but not great, we are already planning to do xyz great things in the NEXT FEW YEARS"
Pakistan.... "you guys are...
All,
Let's try to be unbiased and evaluate the claims.
Agreed, from scratch it took 30 years for India to produce a bare minimum 4th gen plane with numerous imported components.
Now understand what is the time line for a true 4+ gen plane aka MWF... 8 years... Even 10..that is a substantial...
Kindly interpret actions and leave the rhetoric aside.
Given the tension with US for arms procurement with Russia, the last thing India needed was another purchase unless it was essential or apt.
If the Russian missles had failed, IAF was in no hurry to procure and instead would have waited...
I have to agree on this... I expected a spiteful response but I am pleasantly surprised... You have earned my respect... regardless of how much of what you replied is grounded in facts or colored by opinions... Its the way you responded that did strike a chord... Let's wait and watch how the two...
It is funny to observe the comments.... I urge my Pakistani friends to understand that both India and Pakistan are reeling with some core problems... we have a lot of ground to cover.... nobody is near nor will be near a developed nation category in our lifetime..a per capita income of...
Sorry to say but, seriously speaking, this post is a living example of the fact that assembling like a mechanic without understanding how to design or without any solid R&D will ensure that one always remain a mechanic. You can have 50 service centers of BMW in the country but you wont be able...
I get so amused when folks will come up with random responses even when there is a legitimate reason to either appreciate or accept. It points to a very typical mentality of a lot of human beings.... If I am not as successful /rich as you are then I will compensate it by saying I know someone...
I fail to understand what IAF wants from Rafale when neither Rusdia nor China have any interest in this nonsense concept if medium category. Their Sukhois are enough to do everything.
I love that there exists folks like @xyxmt....the folks who would shy away from even acknowledging that they belong to pak and try to pass off as Indian everywhere in the western world...anyways...my firm here has a biggger asset base than the gdp of mr xyxmt home country... And he still lives...
Folks there was a report by Ajai Shukla (I cannot find it now) that basically did analysis of Arihant hull and asserted that Arihant has been already performing sea trials and has even been to crushing depths because of the deformations on the upper mast observed.
I think Arihant program is...
Sometimes I wonder the detracted reality some people dwell in. Mark my words:
"India will spend an increased amount of money on defence. A increasing amount will get locally produced driving down costs. And to top it all, the country as a whole is moving in the right direction wrt defence...
Folks, here are few updates for all of you on the basis of my conversations with some folks.
1. Rafale Deal will be signed and it will cost around USD 25B. This is the money that will be spent by Indian Govt till 2030. India will start manufacturing the first Rafale by 2017 mid time frame and...
Folks..........stop wasting time on this..........as several earlier mentioned...........denial is not the solution. This level of animosity won't do any good.
Regarding US going on and smoking its perceived enemies throughout the world, folks learn this and understand...
Excuse me.....there is a wonderful saying....."Saala Ghaas kayenge but doosre ka diya nahin lenge"................pretty patriotic....but u know what..............its not u who is running short on food....u don't need to......its the small poor people who eat that and die.
Similarly in this...
Cos we don't differentiate among the soldiers who died as hindu or muslim. They were Indian soldiers who laid down their lives. He just did what was told to him. A muslim Indian soldier won't stop for even a sec before pulling a trigger on a terrorist. Probably that's why Kashmir will always be...
One is an annual figure ...other is a based one one decade..as a lesson in Mathematics 101....a 7 percent YOY growth amounts to an decade growth rate of 96.7%
No point over-reacting or understating. Try to understand the concept of "Soft Power" that India is exercising. Here is a speech by Shashi Tharoor that explains much of Indian activity in Central Asia and Africa.
