Any idea if the spares issue is also affecting the Russians and other Russian equipment user countries or is it just a problem being faced by us ?

Actually a Suicide Bomber is a victim, he is brainwashed into doing this by false promises of 72 and compensation to his family. Pakis jumped into this shit knowingly..

GOI should stop wasting time/doing time pass negotiations about anything with the bloody PU&IS. Our standard line should be for them to vacate all of Kashmir.

If our environment is so technically advanced, we have to race up, and exceed the capability match rather, and spend more money there. that is a long term idea!. become economically strong, and invest more in defence that enemy should feel constrained to match.

Here's a different thought .. Given that we are trying hard to get support for a security council seat, need hi tech aircraft fast and need a lot of them to replace many aircraft in our near obsolete fleet, and our need to deny Cheen either of these aircraft or technology/equipment from the vendors ...

Kapil, The 700km range for Arihant payload means it has to be close to the shore to deliver the second strike. An Onion with all its anti-sub capability can depth charge the second strike capability. The Onion was used in such a role in Cold War. I believe that is what the 11 Chinese were doing : i...

I agree with Shiv saar. Give a loose nuke to any jehadi in pak today. I will bet they will target amrika in afghania. Nuke is not some herb available in the grasslands. It's the most prized weapon a jehadi can get ,that too, once in a lifetime .There is no bigger kafir than amrika. So, in my cold l...

China general says his military no match for U.S Asked about Taiwan's long-standing request to buy U.S. F-16 combat aircraft, Chen said such a sale would hurt U.S.-China military relations, but he was not specific.

well, we are assuming again that we can't integrate the near 1 tonner novator k-100 that has an expected range of at least 200km and possibly more. so, unless this integration is not planned, then we can safely assume the existing kat radar is sufficient. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novator_K-100 ...

Sir ji, IMO, the larger threat is in laddakh as there is full infra - including roads all the way into pok. This is also where our troop concentration is thin and infra almost non existant.

There is an old Hindi saying -"naqal key liye bhi Akal chaiheye"

Funny, in this whole TV debate on the arms dropping, no ones asked so far -

a) Who paid for the arms ?

b) How was the money transferred ?

Completely agree.
