Re: Neutering & Defanging Chinese Threat (15-11-2017)

North Korea could be India's best card to play against China. Its an open secret who is behind North Korea and surreptitiously helping them. Even today's news has China saying they will support NK in any war. What is our secretaries and embassies doing? This is an open opportunity.

I don't think even IAF disputes a need to have our local fighter line that can cheaply be mass produced. All IAF is saying that fighter has to be capable for a certain flight and combat profile. Tejas has so far been the most capable fighter that India has been able to produce. If we kill it now, th...
