If your friends are letting you down when you need them most then you have very poor choice of friends.
didnt gandhi aim for self -reliane ?
so the question is :- ...how did we get into a position where we became vulnerable to be let down in the first place ?
shouldnt we avoid such situations ?
Cant help commenting on this. IA generals probably must remind themselves same
I don't understand why we don't stock up on ammunition. If we can induct so many new weapons, what's the problem with buying ammo ? ?
the problem is the quality of management and the depths of our corruption
solve those two , or rather address those two issues and thigs will change tremendously
DRDO, HAL, OFB and other PSUs have let us down whenever the chips have been down"
so it is ourselves we need to look at and improve , not really our friends .....it comes back to us agains, as always
The ultimate blame lies only with us. We have gotten so used to kickbacks and resort to imports. And when shit hits the fan, businessmen jack up the prices we have to pay to get arms. And we are left looking like a fool without options s
you abslutely hit the nail on the head .....may i add that if we avoid looking at thatstraight in the eyes and solve it , if we dont, it will continue to be with us and even grow larger
Russia has given us weapon much more cheaper than what we could produce locally. This is the reason navy rejected NAVAL LCA.
russian help has largely been positive with indeed some instances where it was not but overall kept us going without exorbitant costs ....let's not blame them but rather look at how we managed the realtionship
That would be true if navy goes for a Russian plane instead of LCA. By the looks of it navy will go for Rafale M or f35B
Israeli let us down during Kargil war when they sold us super expensive satalitle photos which were outdated by 2-5 years, IA asked ISRO after war and was delivered within a year .. ..
so agin it boiled down to getting our own organizations , in this case its ISRO into working order
As
@Kunal Biswas pointed out, Israelis and South Africans both squeezed our lemons in Kargil for sat pics and ammo.
a country that put a verhicle in orbit round mars on first try unlikek others, ubfortunately can manufacture enpugh ammo for the guns !! ??????
And I don't know why we still want to align ourselves with such "friends" . I think NSA Ajit Doval conveyed similar message to China that we have independent foreign policy. That is why things have cooled down.
A doval is a genius ...he has a brian like almost no one else if ever seen ...no one else has a brain l.like ajit doval ....he solved the rpoblem
and we should get him and a few others llike him eh samnjay pitchay , nadewal of google etc to get serious tto solve our silly problems like lack of ammo .....instessad negwaçl and puuicchay are workng for others !!!! bleahhhhh !!!
don't US need support in iraq , afgsnistan , libya , syria........but point is they get it when they ask for !!!
thannks for your post
to me , the real issue here is not friends but rather DEPENDENCE - and more accurately dependece on otheres in issues which we have no business being in such a position in the first plae ....if our nation after 70 yrs of independece is depending on others for teething peoblems , diaper issues - we should have grown up and grown out of those problems but we are still facing diaper issues like insufficiesnt ammo ....i means is this some sort of bugs bumnny show or whayt
and i thinik congi put us there and the uninformed and uneducated classes in idnai alllwed congi to put us there
now the uneduacted classes have ecome slightly more educated and so the y are voting les for congi and more for BJ ..... so things will change and maybe we should do all we can to speed pp that change
