KSA can easily challenge India and actually take you down also. Remember, if you ever had this scenario played out, you'll be involved in a Naval and Air battle with them. Outside of an AC, they have advance weapons system to deal with pretty much anyone outside of the US. Plus an AC become a no barrier due to their superior aircraft and weapons systems.
Imagine what 300-400 of your top-line jets would be facing, a massive barrage of modern jets like the EFT, F-15's, F-15SA, etc. KSA and India would both be future's regional power. Indian Army would be massive obviously but you can't deploy a million men across the ocean. Its only good for China and Pakistan. The rest you'll fight someone with, will be the IN. So you could build 2 more AC's and have 60-80 planes on them each, KSA's air-force can deal with them. Their pilots have been trained by the USAF / USN and have recent combat experience alongside with the US in many operations.
Here we go with bullshiit. Indians (Hindus) have been fighting each other for the entire time (thousands of years) of their mythology and Vedic times. You forget that. What happened recently in India between Dalat hindus and the "Brahmans"? What's has been happening across centuries between all 4 casts of hindus? (not to mention what are the ruling Hindu extremists doing today to all their minorities who are Indian citizens for centuries)???? Would you like for me to write a few chapters from the Geeta on here? Or provide reference to some "Vedic" events???
Learn to smell your own shiit before you point to other people's smelly shit. All culture have hate, fights and all between them. Unfortunately, that's just humans at their best, never happy, always fighting and wanting something from others.
@Irfan Baloch @Oscar : guys, don't give me a warning. I am merely setting the record straight. Not insulting anyone's religion or anything.
