Mates,

Does any one know what kind of up gradation may the USS McInerney receive before being commissioned into the PN. Especially in SAM side.

Thanks in advance.

LF, think of it this way. Once the US becomes heavily involved in India, we can tell them to choose. It's a good game. 20 billion of business or 10 billion charity???

:becky::becky::becky:100 billion?????/:D:D:D. well might be possible as pakiz are the world champions in begging. well in reality, It's not possible as there is limit to free product . Even companies gives little as sample not whole stock.

First earn 100 billion then dream of those military equipments. Interestingly pak foreign reserve is around 16 billion out of which 80% is loan money lolllllllllllllllll

BTW India never had 5000 tanks. its around 3500 if I am not wrong.

Why have we increased our weapons purchases from USA knowing these facts? In fact we are indirectly financing the prop job by doing this already pointed out, I hope people making the decisions in the MRCA and the nuclear deals are factoring in all these things.
Our focus has already shifted to countering China.

Indian military even on its worst day is more than a match for Pakistan.

China on the other hand can make waste advances before we can even stop their assault , US imports are the easiest way to counter Chinese advantage.
US sharing similar concerns on china also helps.

either way 10 years down the line , Pakistan military will look like poor mans China , with all their hardware.
Note however , Pak military personal are under no delusions they keep pushing for more US gear as it is clearly superior to what they get from China.
Political establishment can't pay for the gear , see's China's JV or Sales more acceptable.

As far is India is concerned Our situation with China can leverage us access to US capabilities and technologies while working towards our own indeginous capabilities.
Simply put even if we achieve that dream target of 70% indigenous hardware , 30% imports will still comprise of US imports as Well as Russian and maybe Israeli. Even in the long term US hardware is needed to deny China the Edge .
