Never say Never

He certainly can't be brought with money. Like all humans he may have his own weakness, but its certainly not Money.

Why is India strengthening its Navy?

aiwe hi.. time pass.

 

[Bang Galore]

Never say Never. Bribe doesn't have to be tangible.

True, but very very unlikely.

Rs.7000 crores of debt a good enough reason?

How and why Anil Ambani bought into the Pipavav fire sale - Livemint

Btw, did you suggest they bribed the RM?

Their entry into the defence business itself was made to corner defence expenditure. And don't fall for these kinds of articles. In a booming Industry managing debt is not as much a problem as it looks. I can assure you that despite such claims of a 'philanthropic' buy, Anil Ambani will be walking away with a very very pretty profit.

That is a given, in the end the yardstick should be can it make stuff cheaper, faster and better and it so then rest is inconsequential.

Its still legal in India for business men to aspire for cornering a part of the defence expenditure and then even make a profit while doing business


I was not aware Anil Ambani was claiming it as an 'philanthropic' buy. Do you have any links that could enlighten us ?

Why is India strengthening its Navy?

When your economy grows, you need strong navy.. Who rule water, rule world..

Most of trade happen thru water.. India need True Blue water navy...

Why is India strengthening its Navy?

India has the largest coastline in Asia. The economy of India, and any nations with a coastline, depends on its sea shipping routes. The strengthening of Indian navy was long overdue.

That's a total of 14 aegis comparable stealth warships

AEGIS is the radar guided system and currently no ship in Indian navy is comparable to AEGIS.

The Aegis Combat System is an integrated naval weapons system developed by the Missile and Surface Radar Division of RCA, and now produced by Lockheed Martin. It uses powerful computer and radar technology to track and guide weapons to destroy enemy targets.

Obviously there are in there to make money. Just like everyone else in the field. That is hardly surprising or undesirable.

It's not the intent to make money. It's the muscling in, using inside info and political influence to corner contracts- all of which are unethical practices.

Thats similar to combat management system in Kolkata class. Thats why I said Aegis comparable ship not Aegis ship. Key component of both systems is their AESA radar, In Aegis its SPY-1D while its MF-STAR in Kolkata class. Both have similar functions on their respective warships.
PS: One may argue about other things like loads etc but then different aegis warships have different loads too.

I Think SPY-1D is PESA whereas MF-STAR is AESA. So in that sense MF-STAR is a generation ahead of SPY-1D, both operating in S Band. Thats why Israelis have developed and chosen more advanced and more effective MF-STAR and not SPY-1D.
