I have been to india many times, have seen her sights, and indulged in her many varied delights , also done some work that helps my country. But I digress the Chinese are our allies - so why would we not be happy at their progress, as we also benefit from this.

 

[Ayush]

a positive development for both the countries.

Twisting the words again. This is not being happy. This is simple cheer leading. You are saying we are invited in AEro India. You know very well you are associating your invite with China.

I know some guys visit parties with friends on thr invite. .

Same here buddy.I have also been to your country and indulged in...... and seen sights of your so called pure land.

I can smell some raid on Japanese islands pretty soon.. such surreptitious variety of divide and rule is typical chinese when it comes to dealing with surrounding countries visa vi land grabbing with force.

I am not paranoid. But looking at everything from a global perspective here. We should respect chinese for what looks like a sincere effort to mend ties both at diplomatic and military levels which nevertheless should not put a shadow on our strategic relationship with Japan and Rest of South East asian countries.

Ok guys ....you may not agree with me ..but i think China is all not that bad :-

1. There have been cases of trespassing ...but they dont fire guns .

2. They dont send terrorists ...or dogs i should say .

3. They dont behead soldiers and mutiliate bodies .

4. They try to refrain from any strong remarks .

5. They may have many ifs and buts with us ....but they dont wrestle with us .

Seriously speaking guys ........being buddhists ..they are much more silent and peaceful than India's neighbours at west and east.

Well, if you go by Chinese actions and behaviour, you will observe they want to prove the world that they are superior to them or atleast equal. Its all about the hurting from Japanese and British. I would say China did a mistake by attacking India in 1962, as because of this, instead of having a good and strong friend on one side of the border, they have now a suspicious neighbour.
Instead of growing smoothly and then taking on world, China started everything in one go. Look arround and see how big mess they have created. They might not be bad, but they are taking "Chinese Ego" stuff too seriously and we had a history of 1962 too. We can handle Pakistan in a surprising war easily but sleeping while turning the back towards China can have much worse result this time.

Would love the thunder to give a display in the enemy's home ground.

It will be extremely funny to say the least, considering the fact that the country who made it (China) hasn't bought a single unit of its beautiful creation.

 

[Kaniska]

I think our media is reading too much our of this token gesture..To be honest...apart from Pakistan, India and China can work with each other inspite of being hostile to each other...And apart from that China consider India as nuisance rather than enemy to match their caliber...But China and Japan rivallry has some history behind it...

So the bottom line is that if China and Japan rows heats up...China may say some sugar coated gesture to focus itself with Japan...Till that point they will just play around with India....

Aero India 2013 to Be a Low-Key Affair

Absence of foreign fighter aircraft and reduced number of participating companies are likely to make the ninth edition of the biennial Aero India show a low-key affair.

Addressing a press conference on the Aero India show, Secretary (Defence Production) R K Mathur claimed the ninth edition of the show in Banglaore was expected to be "bigger and better" than the previous ones.

However, ministry officials said the number of aircraft who have confirmed participation in the show is 52 this year so far while 63 aircraft had come in 2011.

The number of companies who have booked space at the show is 607 while 675 took part in the last edition.

Asked which of the six medium multirole combat aircraft (MMRCA) aircraft, which have been main attractions of the aero show, are coming in this edition, Mathur said only the French Rafale and American F-16 have confirmed their participation till now.

The six aircraft including American F/A-18 and F-16, Russian MiG 35, Swede Saab Gripen, French Rafale and the European Eurofighter were regular at the last three editions of the show in view of the the then multi-billion dollar tender for 126 aircraft by the IAF.

However, after the contract was bagged by Rafale, other aircraft were not expected to be at the show in this edition.

Mathur maintained the show is "not MMRCA centric". "

"The highlights of the show would include the participation of three aerobatic display teams including the Czech Red Bulls team, the Russian 'Russian Knight' team comprising the Su-27 combat aircraft and IAF's ALH Dhruv Sarang helicopter display team," he said.

The largest contingent at the show would be from the US with 67 of its companies participating followed by France, Russia and Israel.

Asked if China has confirmed its participation, Mathur said, "China has been invited for the show as a formal letter has been sent to them and we are awaiting their confirmation from them about their participation."

A total of 78 countries would be sending their representatives at the aero show of which 27 would be showcasing their products at the mega event.

Aero India to miss its chief attraction combat aircraft - Brahmand.com

Three aerobatic display teams are expected to be the main attraction for the biennial Aero India show starting February 6, which appears to be a scaled down affair with many a combat aircraft giving it a miss following finalisation of a multi-billion dollar IAF deal.

Addressing a press conference on the Aero India show, Secretary (Defence Production) R K Mathur claimed the ninth edition of the show in Banglaore was expected to be "bigger and better" than the previous ones.

Howver, ministry officials said the number of aircraft who have confirmed participation in the show is 52 this year so far while 63 aircraft had come in 2011. The number of companies who have booked space at the show is 607 while 675 took part in the last edition.

Lockheed Martin eyes for win-win partnerships at Aero India

The C-130J Super Hercules in IAF colours will be Lockheed Martin's star product at the show, in addition to the F-16s.


Bangalore: A 20-member team from American plane-maker Lockheed Martin (LM) will touchdown in Bangalore for the Aero India-2013, hoping for new opportunities in aerospace and defence sector. As they get down to business hours in the cozy comforts of air show pavilions, the Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots will take the newly-inducted mammoth LM-built beast – the C-130J Super Hercules turbo-prop military transport aircraft— on a date, displaying its cool flying features.
In an interview to Express on Wednesday, Abhay Paranjape, Director, Business Development, Lockheed Martin National Executive, India, said that this time his team is hitting Bangalore with multiple agenda. “Meeting potential customers, suppliers and expanding our relationship with Indian industries tops our mission. We are definitely looking to expand our presence in India, especially after the induction of C-130Js,” Abhay said. He said the LM team also hopes to establish win-win partnerships, in addition to identifying potential suppliers, to fulfil Ministry of Defence's offset policy.
He confirmed that the talks for the IAF acquiring additional six more C-130Js have reached advanced stages. “The IAF has given a letter of request for additional six aircraft based on which a letter of acceptance was issued. The modalities are being worked out by both Indian and US governments. The discussions are in potentially final stages,” Abhay said. The IAF No 77 Squadron already operates six C-130Js.
For the flying display, there won't be any aircraft from the LM's side this time. However, the US Air Force would be bringing the F-16s. When asked about the slowdown in the aerospace sector, Abhay said: “It is still growing, may be not at the rate it was. We see India as a growing market.”
Wants to work with DRDO on UAVs: Lockheed Martin says it has expressed interest for joining hands with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for India's future unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programmes. “We have recently exhibited our expertise by joining hands with Delhi Technological University and gave expertise for student to develop a UAV. We are willing to work with DRDO for various urban UAV programmes. If DRDO is desring then we would work together for some really exciting UAV projects,” Abhay said.
