India's Growing Military Diplomacy
By Nitin A. Gokhale
India's Growing Military Diplomacy | The Diplomat


===============================================================================

Important Points

India has agreed to build at least four Offshore Patrol Vehicles (OPV) in Indian Shipyards to be used by Myanmar's navy.
Myanmar had sourced 105 mm artillery guns, mortars, armored personnel carriers and rifles from India. But now it wants India to do more. In the near future, air force personnel, especially helicopter pilots, are likely to train in India in larger numbers.
For instance, India has repaired and upgraded more than 100 MiG 21 planes of the Vietnam People's Air Force and supplied them with enhanced avionics and radar systems. Indian Air Force pilots have also been training their Vietnamese counterparts.
"In a first, India has offered a $ 100-million credit line to Vietnam to purchase military equipment. It will be used for purchasing four patrol boats.
In addition we are building one OPV for Mauritius at GRSE.

So in all we in near future will built/building

4 OPV for Myanmar Navy
1 OPV for Mauritious
4 Patrol boats for Vietnam
2 OPV for a west African country ( Nigeria probably) by Pipavav shipyard.

not to forget the point that raise of Islamic terrorism in their country makes them more close to us militarily

What is the use of all this if we cannot even protect our own borders?

First it was Chinese, then Pakis and now Myanma troops enter Manipur.

It is dangerous to show Military anything within India as "growing", when certain basics like troop morale, training, etc. can be improved.
