More like 20% Heck, 20 will be lucky to be 50% of Su-57.

That's the biggest pile of rubbish I have ever read. India is not antagonising China, Dalai Lama has not been allowed to indulge in political activism in India. Both India and DL have formally accepted Tibet as a part of China. Chinese bastards on the other hand, still contest the status of...

NO you are not and NO Chinese government does not follow reason or dharma, any more than Abrahamics. Chinese since historical times have been all about following the stick, whomsoever wielded it. Presently it's the Communist party, a bunch of as big adharmi as you'll see anywhere else. If...

Not a dalla, but put India first...In every situation our policy should be what's in this for India.

The pro-Amreeki dalaals are really out in force. If one wishes to understand true allegiances, one must watch out for moments such as these, when Amreekis go out of their way to sabotage our interests and their dallaas come out in full force in the defence of the star-spangled banner. Then of...

Russia gets money out of it, isn't that the whole point of arms sales? If US sanctions Turkey and stops proving further weapons systems, then Russia gets to sell them more. Isn't that good for Russia?

The thing is S-400 should not be viewed as coming at the cost of indigenous efforts. It's an acquisition to fulfill immediate needs, while our indigenous systems mature. Offsets were not included this time, because not only the cost would have gone up, but the deliveries would have been pushed...

Not exactly. We've always had Western jets and helicopters in our inventory from Hawker Hunter to Dassault Mystere to Folland Gnat to Specat Jaguar to Sea Harriers to Mirage 2000. Alouette (Chetak) still remains the one of the most abundant helicopters in Indian service. There was a dominance...

Also more susceptible to American pressure since it has US participation in the form of Raytheon. Our deal with Israel for Arrow 2 could not go through, because US denied the clearance for sharing the technology. Isarel needs US Congressional and Pentagon clearance to sell any technology...

S-300 systems are operational in Delhi and Mumbai and surely India has enough understanding of their working, efficacy and limitations. Perhaps that's why we have decided to go for S-400. US has a different doctrine, they rely more on air dominance because they have little threat of invasive...

Nope, still fused bulb. Rehne de bhai, tujhse na ho paayega. Tu ja kar LoC thread par trolling kar.

Abe chootiye, read once again what I have written and tell me what have you understood. From what I gather, not much.

Actually as back as mid-500s, we were using "imported" arms. Portugese were supplying cannons during the Hemchandra's campaign across North India.

The only thing you've proved is that your posts are truly imbecilic. Carefully read what I have written again.

Abe FATA ki building, kabhi to theek se padh liya kar kya likha hua hai...

Then it will reach the West and the Americans as well, since Napakis will sell themselves to anyone for money, greencard and a western passport. Plus, why would China or for that matter anyone reveal the weakness of their defence to any entity that may be a poodle today, but may turn against...

Sawhney pulling facts out of his arse when he rants First of all, BMD and S400 are two different systems- BMD is dedicated to defending against ballistic missiles, S400 is a multi-purpose system. Secondly, GoI has given the go ahead for BMD deployment starting from Delhi...

Roosis upto their usual tricks to shaft us on yet another big ticket deal.

I think what matters is that systems such as S400 will not be deployed isolation. They'll be a part of a comprehensive, thick web of layered BMD/air-defence systems that will have slightly overlapping, yet largely comprehensive roles. Bringing all this together will be a tall ask and the...

Where did you get that info from? It's very interesting, any links.
