Concerns Rise As Indian Fighter Negotiations Drag On

[anyrandom]

Really touched by concern of chinese here who are serominizing us not to buy weapons. Who needs enemies when we have "friends" like this.

so its not government responsibility to make sure that aid is utilize properly and who ever is doing corruption punished severly.
when we already have Su 30 mki that is 4.5 gen then why we go for European rafale 4.5 gen what we will achieve by these or just wait for couple of years and go for 5 gen PAkfa.

I understand your concern the money could have been used to feed the poor....you have a misconception that people who go hungry is because gov dsnt hve money to spend for....as per gov own report for every rupee spent on poor only 16 paisa reaches the needy.all the gove has to do is make sure the money spent reaches the benificiary in full..... So your thinking regarding defence spending is wrong.

What our netas and bureaucrats need is this....

Small country like pakistan is deep inside some of indian which gives them epilepsy fits.pakistan is in no position for war and china is economic giant, china will only fight economical war not physical war so we have to get ready for that by improving infrastructure and training man power and bring prosperity to common people .

Poor are getting more poorer and going hungry day by day when our food godowns are full and rotting grains with pesticide not even animal can eat it.

Pakistan is weak so its time to look at proper arrangements at Indo-China border because day by day China is becoming bigger bully to majority of neighboring countries.

You think Pakistan will forget the enmity with India, that sounds extremely bizarre.

Yankees will play all the tricks available to sabotage this deal and push in the condemned F-35.

According to sources close to the negotiations, the primary bone of contention is Dassault’s demand for two separate contracts: One for the 18 aircraft to be built in France and the other for the 108 aircraft, which are be integrated in India by HAL. The defense ministry has rejected this demand, and has conveyed that Dassault will be solely responsible for the entire lot of 126 aircraft, as per the original proposal.

This part is the meat of the article but it does not explain why the French insist on two seperate contracts. The Indian government demands that the French guarantee the timely delivery of all 126 Rafales. The French are willing to guarantee the first 18, which they have control over. They won't guarantee the remaining 108 Rafaeles. The issue is HAL. Given HAL's legendary tardiness it will be foolish for Dassault to be held responsible for HAL's performance, or the lack thereof.

Do you want me to tell you the condition of China when it became a nuclear power. China tested atom bomb after the death of 45 million people due to hunger.

Well, if the goal of India is to be like China. Then your statement is fair.

 

[INDIC]

Well, if the goal of India is to be like China. Then your statement is fair.

We don't have such goals. You better look at them before telling Indians.

 

[kurup]

so iwhat you are saying is true then nepal,bangladesh,bhutan,srilanka,maldives will be having allien technology so everybody is afraid of them .
weapon will never protect a nation only its people will.
what i am saying spend money in development of indian am i asking too much.we are in 21st century more then fifty percent living below poverty line malnourished even below sub sahara countries.
what is the point of development when our own brother-ens are sleeping hungry have you slept hungry no because we are fortunate few .

I hate Modi but he is talking sense "Pehle sochalay phir devalay"
i hope if he wins he keep his word.

Comparing those countries with India is like comparing apples to oranges .

Those countries have not been pushed to multiple war by two nuclear armed neighbours . We have been .

In defence , we hope for the best but prepare for the worst .

 

[IND151]

Yup, economic development should be the first priority for a country that is as poor as India. India has too many imaginary enemies and wasting money on weapons they will never use.

Your country has the poverty line of 0.24 dollars a day, compared to 1.25 (indian poverty line).

We are far more strong against pakistan ,pakistan is not weak but busy in dealing with terrorist and china is different ball game the money they are spending in their defense we cannot match it if even we try to do that will ruin our economic .

enmity is going to stay on both front in case of Indo-Pak but when they clearing their mess in pakistan we should focus on our problem too.

Pakistan is weak so its time to look at proper arrangements at Indo-China border because day by day China is becoming bigger bully to majority of neighboring countries.
