India world's largest recipient of arms, Pakistan no.3

[LAKHNAVI]

Pakistan is a front line state in the WoT and we have a 1600km long border with a hostile neighbour. A porous border with the battlefield of the WoT. I think our expenditure is justified, even if you feel it is not, there are men with much sounder heads in the DoD who think it is. Given the choice between their advice or theirs, it's a no-brainer.............

1600 km border with a hostile neighbor whom your peacefull country has attacked on four occassions.

47: India sends troops in Kashmir(Your bad)
65: Pakistan Infiltrates Commandos into Kashmir, India attacks Lahore without formal deceleration of war(Both at fault)
71: India supports insurgency in East Pakistan, physically intervenes(Your bad)
99: Overambitious Nawaz Sharif plays strategist(Our Bad)

Here's the break down of Indo-Pak conflict, for your consideration.

1947 Pakistan attacked when maharaja decision is still pending then only India sends its troops.... get facts.

oh yes, what about the infiltration from the FATA area that resulted in the Instrument of Accession.

65: Pakistan Infiltrates Commandos into Kashmir, India attacks Lahore without formal deceleration of war(Both at fault)

when Pakistan Commandos enter into Kashmir, then you are responsible. how come it is us

71: India supports insurgency in East Pakistan, physically intervenes(Your bad)

When Mujib won the election, the then West Pakistan Leaders should have given the PM seat to him, instead you thought that you are the masters of East Pakistan and started a genocide that resulted in mass migration/refuge of people into INDIA, which resulted in chaos and anarcy in INDIA, we just supported the people to retaliate the genocide and for that you attacked INDIA both in the east and the west and hence you are responsible

99: Overambitious Nawaz Sharif plays strategist(Our Bad)

I am atleast happpy that you accepted one was your mistake.

65: wasn't as innocent as you make it sound , there were 26K soldiers that infiltrated india, tank divisions at akhnoor, Pakistan had unilaterally attacked India, were we supposed to sit back and sing qawwali

71: did you forget some of important buildup there?

Who buys what amount thats not a big deal.The main thing is its helping only America or Russia.
Their economy is based on arm selling.

So only they should be proud.Others are their puppet.

You are one honest Indian who spoke of the truth.

sorry mate, I am not saying that all local prdocuts are defective, but the standard has to be improved to match that of western products. The west was part of the Industrial Revelution and has been part of two World Wars that has promoted the growth of Science, Technology and Manufacturing. India is a growing country and sure will matach its quality to that of any Developed Country in a couple of decades time.

you got so much spare time to make a thread out of a non event

you deserve a standing ovation . NOT

 

[Awesome]

the most unfortunate part is not that pakistan spending this huge money. but pakistan is only spending this money on buying weapons. india on the other hand is smarter. just in last 15 yrs total number of labs under drdo, hal, nal ada etc is close to 200 labs drdo alone has close to 60 labs. and add to that 500 manufacturing partners and jvs with the rest of the world like schema , eads , aw and russia, and also a workforce of uncountable ppl. all this done in just 10 yrs.

and also dont forget that india has sucessfully masterred a whole lot of stuff: hal lch, hal lca, trainers, navy stealth ships, nuke subs, slbm, slcm, aad pad, icbm, 3rd gen tanks, space rockets max capacity upto 10 t, aircraft carriers and the list goes on.

pakistan has done not even a single thing from its soil in the list. we have secured our future as our govt is actually serious abt indegeneous defence and fruits will be seen soon. i am deeply worried abt their future. they spend equal money on defence as they add in economy in 1 year.

Pakistan has indigenous programs for missiles, planes, tanks, small arms, personnel gear. Btw, Pakistan can't literally afford to not buy weapons and maintain a parity with India and for the war on the western side.

The percentage would mean squat if pitted against the planes India is buying. Percentage is influenced by two things, amount bought and where the economy stands. Pakistan needs ensure the economy part increases and you will see that weapons import won't increase proportionally.

Minimum deterrent is our policy, not because we can't afford maximum deterrent. We prefer to keep a non-hostile posture as a nation to our neighbors.
