@China Today has just become China Yesterday. Adm Sureesh Mehta has long since retired from service.
But the itch has not retired yet.
India have Indian ocean to safe Guard its interests , So IN will have the biggest pie in the defense budget in the coming years.
Hard to swallow but easy to accept. India lost this race due to our government. We could have made strides but we didn;t. Now we have to depend on soft power and kiss foreign ***. It should be noted the PLA and PLAN have always been superior to India;s military. Our recent modernization was a half *** attempt to improve the credibility of our ill equipped armed forces which have been the victims of massive graft. Sadly our ppl don;t realize it. We blame the illerate poor but make no attempts to educate them. And why would they trust the richer classes who abuse and take advantage of them?

Not at all likely. The three services get money on the basis of their relative sizes. The IA is by far the largest and will thus continue to get the largest share of the defence pie. Each budget in turn has two components; the Revenue account and the Capital account. It is the Capital account that takes care of new acquisitions etc. In case of the IAF and IN the Capital account components have increased in recent years vis-a-vis the IA. That will continue for some more time, going by present indications.

Agni-5 is meant only to counter the threat from Somalia; ditto for INS Arihant, Brahmos.. vitally needed to end the challenge posed by Somali pirates.
I hope chinese (e.g. ChinaToday) will no longer be obsessed with India.
In fact, India and China face a common challenge: Somalia. We should co-operate.
It is Somalia, not India, where a worthy threat to china comes from.
A nuclear sub, a nuclear capable ICBM and a supersonic cruise missile against Somalia ? Itna mazaak hazam nahi hota
