India a global military power by 2045, says UK study

[UKBengali]

What a rubbish study!

The study assumes that the US will be spending the same as China in 2045. This will only be the case if the US remains the sole superpower, which it would have lost well before 2045. The US will not be able to afford to spend as much when it probably becomes a less rich and powerful country than China.

Also it somehow thinks that a much wealthier China would not be able to match US technologically by 2045 when it would be equal to it at least. India will be nowhere near as advanced technologically than either China or the US.

I forsee China becoming the most powerful country by a fair margin, then a big gap down to US and then another big gap down to India.

India does not aim to be competing with US or China.. we aim for defence of our country and we will have more then that.

defence budgets are a proportion to overall GDP. $650 b of military budget possible if india growth at 5% on long run.

I don't agree with the study but your butthurt is just hilarious

These reports are a joke. The West will still miles ahead and they already have pacts in which they share the tech, resources, research for various defence related projects. Someone should calculate the defence related expenditure of the UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. Then add it all together.

"China’s military is becoming more capable and has increasing global
reach. By 2045, China’s military capability may be close to matching that
of the US, perhaps exceeding it in some areas. India’s military capability is
also likely to increase – but probably not to the point where it rivals that of
China or the US by 2045"

Same report states.

That's pretty obvious, but India's military industry and power by then will be a sight to see none the less.

The amount of money has been calculated as per PPP index.

sir that is obvious. as the least developed among the three, india will be lagging behind china and usa is GDP, hence the military budget.

given the recent trend of exponential increase in military budgets in india(there has been increase of more than 1000% from 1992 to 2013), by 2045, india should have third largest defence budget on the planet.

The amount of money has been calculated as per PPP index.

yes sir, giving that 49% of defense budget goes to salaries and pensions and around 20% into local defense industry, PPP index should make more sense than nominal
