12 S400 is a big number and so is the new 2 SSN lease purchase.. Tu22M3 long ranged bombers.. so we have some already and now 4 new.. that is a very big black project..
Stop promoting such baseless bull shit
12 S 400 under make in India, means making graveyard for indegionus BMD Program, We gets some 6-10 S 400 to safeguard some major cities, there will be very less amount of indegionus works will be involved in S 400,
Akula Submarines, yawn, we looking some 20+ diesel electric sub's, meantime we also plans to invest to speed up our own SSN Program, the only issue is Budget
Tupelov bombers, that never gonna happen, Navy already operates P8 bomber, and plans to buy some 12 more in future, even the MRMPA RFI still on the Table, Navy either buys the MQ4 or MQ9
Mi 17 deal may happen, since para military and Army too requesting some medium lifts
Additional falcons, oh shit, two of them still in Israel for out fitting, IAF scouts wide body AEWCS based in A330, the plan still in table, once budget allocated it will be rolled on.
Ka 226 almost the finalised deal, once the Army ready for contract, via MII route the helis rolled on,
No more T 90, one can expect more number of Arjun Mark 2, even there's is a news of two regiment of MK 2 ordered very recently, our future large number order comes either MK2 or FRCV, no more foreign tanks
Another update, wtf, the MiG 29 recently upgraded into UPG standard, what's hurry for another, it seems the UPG is the final MLU of MiG 29
JV of Brahmos expected and are in table as Hypersonic and NG version planned
weblink does not work and some Indian fanboys here claimed stupidly that these were secretly being operated by India which is bull shyte.
Actually the Tu 22 bullshit claim was once floated in the internet when a Aussie journo saws Fu 22 in Andaman Islands, and Ruski supporters in India made orgasm on it
