Pakistani media urges Indian arms restraint

[JanjaWeed]

I'm all fine with what our armed forces had in their kitty... and please... stop being jealous of our achievements.

batman.. u never cease to amuse! jeolous?? i thought it's other way round!! infact it's your media which is calling for restraint.. not ours!!

The best and most logical reply i have ever read on PDF .

Nope, that was, "Most of the Indians working abroad are RAW agents!!"...... from the great BATMAN.

This arm race will bring nothing but instability in south Asia, weapons are not a future of any country, future lays on better economical stability. Unfortunately Pakistan & India set to be in position that they must increase expenditures over military purchases it means we are handing over taxes of people in the hands who are responsible for this unrest situation. Sad thing is our money is not our money but some countries receive back as their long life investment in our region which you can named as HATE for each other.

There is no arms race in south asia. Whom will India race with in south asia?
I agree with you that economic stability is high priority. And it is high priority for last few govts. Most elections are fought on economic issues than war or even terrorism.
Having said that, a country of india's size and aspiration, should maintain certain level in defence. The recent purchases will simply maintain the parity.

 

[luckyyy]

if india top the list then pakistan is also not far behind , infect 3rd on the list....

India is buying because all of its indigenous projects failed and your armed forces are left with no choice but to buy those from international market.. so are the news.
If we count all the money india spent in its ambitious tank, missiles, nukes, and TEJA... those are more than what you are spending currently.
Point is India was always spending big time,,,,but unfortunately the out come was not promising enough.

Who cares, the defence equipments are inducted into the armed forces from all over the world and that too the best in the world.

Look man we have a bigger economy and thats why we have large defense expenditure, same is the case with china but their percentage more than us. If you have a strong growing economy, you should also have sufficient defense expenditure to protect your economic installations.

Also this race doesnot involve Pakistan, you guys are self volunteering.

Not to mention with our offset policy we are regenerating alot of money within the country itself.

You completely lack math knowledge...Didnt you read recent reports about the cost of LCA, Arjun and other programs????
And dare you say our programs are costly than buying foreign systems. It insults the cheap labor that is available in India...

The problem is that you judge outcomes only by product....but the research gained is invaluable......that my friend is the true value of all the money spent....combine that knowledge and the access India has now tot he world......the possibilities are limitless...the Pakistani Media should inform their citizens it has nothing to worry about, India is peaceful and has no intention of war with PK....the question is does Pakistan want one?

If you go back through your own columns, you will see for yourself how one step at a time critics of Indian indigenous programmes have gone from hilarious incredulity, to doubting, carping criticism marked by outright lies and embellishment of time and cost figures, to challenges to see what would happen in the field, to increasingly shriller doubts about the equipment being adopted by the armed forces, down to aimless sniping like your present post. This applies to the Arjuna, the Tejas, the Dhruva, the ship-building programme, the Arihant, the Akash, and no doubt as many other programmes as you get to figure out.

Apparently you are a very senior member, and I presume, without any evidence one way or the other, that you have been part of that pack that I described. I condole you on facing the end of your hopes, and being forced to see one by one each and everyone of these programmes getting into field service. That must be gall and wormwood to you, especially when you have to face the spectacle of your own armed forces stepping down in stages from the glorious days when the Americans brought in the best in armour, in artillery, in doctrine, in aircraft and in every field of military equipment imaginable - I nearly forgot the frequent upgrades of surface craft that you got from them. In a sense, it is sad to see how the army now settles for a second rate tank because it cannot afford anything better, the airforce forced to cherish its clutch of F16s and forego its dreams of acquiring contemporary technology, and settle for many, cheap aircraft, the navy scratching around for enough resource to avoid the day when its senior officers reported sick to avoid having to sail out against an enemy looking for blood, all of this because over 30 years of military rule has cripppled your economy and left you with nothing but a jaundiced attitude and a feeling of envy and inadequacy.

Keep screaming your head off about failures; meanwhile, even as you shout yourself hoarse trying to convince yourself, tanks, aircraft, helicopters, ships, missiles are all getting operational. Some day, no doubt, you will stop saying things because saying such things will seem ridiculous even to you. Until then, please continue; things sometimes get too serious on this forum, and somebody to provide comic relief is sorely needed. Thank you for such relief; you are doing a great job.

I agree with the essence of your post, but will expand it slightly---No (sensible) army goes out looking for a war.
After all they are the ones to get killed, not you or I. The logic is simply inescapable.

Armies (and their weaponry) are created and maintained solely as a contingency. Otherwise their utility (in very blunt terms) ranges between the "tin soldiers" that I played with as a boy to "very expensive toys".

 

[acetophenol]

why are my friends being anxious? We buy all these toys with our own hard earned money so that our boys in the borders can do their job much more well and
Perfectly so that we can sleep well and sound!

 

[rcrmj]

As usual from batman!!!! He will pass the comment but you will never find any logic in those comments. India spent money on tank, missiles, nukes and aircrafts and all of them are inducted while Teajs got IOC. For many years China was the largest importer because their products also failed? Or its counts on India only? lol India spends only 1.8% of GDP on defence.

Last time i've checked India spent 2.6% of its GDP not 1.8% not with its current ego

1.8% is EU standard
