Business Standard:Potential for cooperation with India:US.

US Deputy Defence Secretary Ashton Carter himself said this while on a 3 day visit to India.


ALL hail USA.:usa:
This news made my day!

The US today said there is a potential for cooperation with India to develop a Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) shield.

"That is an important potential area for our future cooperation," visiting US Deputy Defence Secretary Ashton Carter said.

"I think BMD has great strategic importance and, therefore, the two governments should dicuss that strategically before they discuss that technically," he said while addressing a function here organised by CII.

He was asked if the US and India could work together to develop a BMD shield to showcase their strategic relations.
India is already working towards developing a missile defence shield on its own and is in the process of deploying its systems in Delhi and Mumbai.

The two countries had earlier discused the issue at several platforms.

"I am wary of showcases probably because it should have strategic and economic sense. It's fine to have symbolic sense but first and foremost it should have strategic and economic sense," Carter said.

On the US stressing more on cooperation than trade in its ties in the defence sector with India, he said the two countries want to get out of the buyer-seller relationship and want to work on co-development of projects.

"We want to do things together, we want to develop products together and produce technology together. There is a little difference between trade and cooperation and between the two, we are really looking for cooperation," he said. (More)

gr8, did they also say how easialy its going to be for them to switch it off whenever they like to do it?

WOW ! Awesome news if it comes without pre-conditions.

Preconditions have no meaning when it comes to defensive weapons..You use them only when you are about to be hit. And if you are protecting yourself from a N Missile, no precondition can deter you from doing that..

yep,we are aggressor on the path of becoming a responsible super power.... but i fear the technology we are buying by huge amount of money, should not be leaked to china through india..............:hitwall:

US will never cooperate in such sensetive fields without pre conditions, and they will allways have some influence on our BMSs.
