The figures are WRONG. Its not $7.9 mil per mirage but around $48 mil per mirage for the upgrade which is equal to buying a new 4th gen plane. If it was $7.9 mil then the upgrade would have been finalized long time ago and would have cost the exchequer less than $400 mil.
How is rescuing MV Suez solely Indian naval responsibility?
The ship is not Indian registered.
Does not have an Indian captain
Majority crew not Indian nationals
So the responsibility falls on international community. IF Pakistan has done something good then pat your backs and don't...
I agree. Let someone release videographic or photographic evidence to prove wrongdoing by INS Godavari until then we should all stfu and let things go and not bash each other.
Have you read about the Cuban missile crisis? The Soviets(outside power) were made to pack up their stuff and leave by the United States due to close proximity of Cuba to mainland USA and US naval might. Cuba was blockaded.
In case of Sri Lanka, there is nothing China can do if Sri lanka...
Indian Navy has issued a statement saying all Pakistani claims about the incident involving Ins Godavari and Pns Babur are false and misinformation.
The news is breaking on times now. Let us wait for more updates.
I guess the charges were false and just a propaganda from Pakistanis to...
You do realize what happened during the Cuban missile crisis right? Cuban waters were blockaded by US warships and Soviets were made to pack up their stuff. America enjoyed geographical proximity and unchallenged naval might near its home waters.
Any threat to Indian interests near its home...
An Indian Navy warship will escort the Egyptian merchant vessel MV Suez to Salalah port in Oman with 22 crew members including six Indians, two days after it was released by Somali pirates.
MV Suez was released by pirates on June 13 and is now "safely proceeding" towards Salalah with 22 crew...
Firstly i condemn this incident in the strongest words possible and want the perpetrators bought to book. If it was in Pakistan they would have probably been molested first then beaten up tied to a pole and then
option A) killed with an AK 47
option B) blown to bits by a suicide bomber
Since he knows India won't change the status quo and Jaya can't do anything about it and is just playing regional politics shouldn't he know better to keep quiet and carry on with his own affairs instead of sabre rattling.
Stop spamming your own thread dude. On a serious note, what hostile forces was he referring to? Jaya going all out or Western nations pushing for a human rights probe?
This is so funny. Lobbying a few shells and making a run for it IS NOT awfully beating India and i guess the author slept through 1971 war where Pakistan navy was decimated. Load of @#$%
