Wary of China, India offers Akash surface-to-air missile systems to Vietnam

[52051]

NEW DELHI: India is now actively discussing the possible sale of the indigenously developed Akash surface-to-air missile systems+ to Vietnam, even as the two countries steadily crank up their bilateral military ties with a watchful eye on a confrontational China in the Asia-Pacific region.

Vietnamese are not idiot enough to spend their wealth on buying junk from India especially while uncle sam is getting beneficent to them so they will better go with some western system if they could afford though the best option for them is to have better relations with China.

But the problem is Indian keep publish crap article bragging abt how their junk is going to Vietnam when those missile is not even into any mark and impotent. They sure want to brainwash the ignorant.

Republic of India is MTCR member and i dont think that Indian Establishment will sell its indigenous air defenses in hurry.



Why you people always make things too much personal ? It is a habit to keep on degrading the achievements done by the Indian nation or its the jealously and insecurity which the other nations are having towards the Indian nation.

What achievements, when u don't have 600 million open shit in the air, when u don't have 3 million suicides each year, when women felt safe in India streets, when u don't have worlds half poverty and slums,

when you don't have to import basic rifles and bullets, u start to count achievements, before that stop boasting and go to do work

Here is my thought about the entire news.

1- Akash is a good missile whether Pakistan and China like it or not. Let us not go into technicalities. It is not like if Vietnam have the missile, it can fight with China all alone depending on the missile itself.
2- Some of the Indian media are just crappy and sensational. I do not categorize then as genuine source of news outlet. And i rate Times of India in that category.
3- Coming to the point, if also, India agrees to sale it to Vietnam, this should not be at issue with China. As you are bigger player in this game. And you are anyway providing everything to Pakistan...So what is wrong if India also make business with Vietnam or any nation per se by exporting its home grown system whatever good or bad it is.

So rather than discussing the content of the crappy news paper who try to make every news with a context, let us discussion the subject in a proper way.

How many of the trials have succeeded? They're fired in salvoes in actual war time, not one at a time like in the trials.

The army needs a QRSAM that can move with armor. Akash is too big of a system. This requirement was always there. There are several other SAM requirements as way, the media and you dont know what you're even mentioning.

A compacted QRSAM is being developed.

But for static places, Akash is fine. Akash in every way IS a success, with a big order book. But Akash nests arent the only SAM system India will have.

And How not so common sense is it that the experts from Vietnam would not have already thought about this before considering India as their option? Just because you are not sure, does not mean it is true.

They are not buying anything from India. And they need to critically examine Indian methods.

When one drinks water from river ganges after someone has bathed in it like modi, then you will catch diseases that make you see hallucinations like surgical strikes.

Soon, they will offer Nirbhay as well.

Well, the important question is: Did Vietnam even ask for it, or it's just India's wishful thinking? India media has being celebrating Brahmos sales to Vietnam since 2011.

Indian govt and defence ministry's whole effort is to keep hindutva terrorist fooled and happy. This way they will keep voting for them despite the fact that these mindless goons are living below the extreme poverty line, void of toilets and basic amenities and hygiene but this kind of crap is enough to satisfy their impoverished egos. It is better for Pakistan and China to initiate television and radio services in hindi and other Indian languages so these idiots can be educated and made aware of the fraud their govt is doing with them since independence.

Thats just your insecurity speaking. Honestly, they are not going to spend the line of credit buying footwears. We being a developing democratic country, our success and failure is more open to the public. Its just your perception that it is only in India stuffs fail.

What achievements, when u don't have 600 million open shit in the air, when u don't have 3 million suicides each year, when women felt safe in India streets, when u don't have worlds half poverty and slums,

End of the day, we have a system that works and is for export.

 

[Jlaw]

Its common sense to know if India knows why a sub would explode in the dock if India is training Vietnam on how to operate Kilo. I'm saying this as a Taiwanese American and this is not a confusion. Anyway, it's always best to be safe and seeing how Indian ride trains, I'm not sure if India places priority on safety.

Indians latching on to the roof of trains is not safe. wearing sandals as shoes in the Indian navy is not safe.

 

[war&peace]

Some of the Indian media are just crappy and sensational. I do not categorize then as genuine source of news outlet. And i rate Times of India in that category.

It is a habit of Indian members on pdf to immediately declare any of their newspaper as unreliable when its news become untenable for them. Can you please give us the list of Indian newspapers that you consider credible and we can quote them?
