No problems boss... S**t happens... hehehehehe.... :sharabi::sharabi::sharabi:

Soham, I mean that the THAAD missiles ought to be much more complicated and advanced than the ones we have (PAD & AAD) if they are able to operationally perform all that they claim to perform... So, I implied that the Americans would possibly have nothing to gain or learn that they already...

I think Nitesh was talking about this line -

Somehow I'm not skeptical... PAD & AAD are more advanced than Patriot, but I don't think they're as good as THAAD which the Americans have... I doubt they'll learn anything significant from it which they don't already know...

Any new missiles will be a welcome development... but, they ought to have more range than they currently have... We should develop a system like THAAD with long range radars...

I know, people in the Media can get too over-obsessed with themselves and illogical and crass arguments sometimes...

UPA govt signs Rs10,000 cr Israel missile deal on the sly DNA: India: UPA govt signs Rs10,000 cr Israel missile deal on the sly

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6UlFqk7MkA The latest outing of the PAD missile this month... Great Video... Highly Recommended...

Hmmm... maybe a policy decision not to buy... but, can't we get them as a stop gap arrangement until the BMD system becomes operational? Only stop gap arrangement... I know about the BMD test. It was also successful.

Hmmm... The first Hindu report is almost 6 years old. But, the second report did shed some light on the issue. Thanks for that. Okay. So the US won't exactly give us that technology. But, we have other avenues like Russian systems which are still open to us. Why not use that then? And...

Look, from this article, it only seems, as I had earlier suspected, that the potential trouble is with the resale of the system which India has been doing in the past. The monitoring agreements are a little flexible (both according to the US and according to past experience) So, getting an...

Are you trying to say that nobody knows what this "End User Verification" business is? Anyways, it is a legal document. And, legal documents have many clauses which are subject to multiple interpretation. I suppose Israel has also had to sign an End User Verification or something similar to...

I too have seen what the news reports say... It is not about that. The news reports dont say what the bones of contention are... Do you have text or any part of the text of the end user agreement either with India or with any other country so that we may get an idea?

But, that might have only minimal implications in case of a system such as a missile defence system. It will have more implications in case of other systems such as aircraft etc. What exactly does the end user verification say anyway? Does it say that I can't use the things I purchased??

A good read most certainly, but I dare say it quotes the obvious. That the Leftists don't know what's necessarily good for the country. They'll intrinsically oppose anything that involves America. And, also that the Congress despite opposing the deal with America when it was in opposition...

Thanks dude.... :D:D:D:D

To be more specific, we need more ground based radars. I read somewhere that India has acquired some 20 ground based radars at 5 million dollars a piece. Will try and find the link and post it here...

Yep, true. Thanks for the information dude...

Hmmm... so, the following quote on Wiki is wrong, eh ??? Thanks for the information.... Israel was in negotiations with India to sell the system to that country, but US arms-control regulations blocked the sale of the actual missiles - though the Green Pine radar system was sold to India...
