What I DO NOT understand why these SIPRI Arms Database people ; believe that
everything that India buys WILL be KNOWN to them

Then Where is the " secrecy " that every country shows ; when it comes to its Military preparedness

are't these things supposed to be state secret ??
SIPRI gets these numbers from several sources they have in both Supplier & receivers as well as open sources.
SIPRI database numbers are generally very accurate.

SIPRI is a good website. All times I need stats on arms transfer, I consult it.
