Funny and ridiculous but bad news for us. It at least confirms that PLA has the 40N6 ordered
Not surprising. Chinese and others are going for the complete package. Its just India, who have gone for customized package.

S-400 is comprised of 4 different missiles for different range.

40N6 for 400 km
48N6 for 250 km
9M96E2 for 120 km and
9M96E for 40 km range.

Now instaed of all the 4 missiles, India has opted to go only with 40N6 and 48N6.
That's because we have short range missiles like Barak er, akash, akash ngn g,a spyder all of these will be integrated to form a better system than chinese ones... Indian system can be dubbed as S-450 as it has elements from S-500.. it's also upgradeable to S-500 and has limited ABM capabilities....

So chill and relax....:daru:

Well Russia will sell it to anyone who can give them the money. Be it China, Turkey or India. Same is the case of USA, UK, France etc.
Nobody cares for our strategic concerns. As long as the obsession of our armed forces with videshi maal continues, this will always remain a concern.

Fresh news of US of A getting constipation again on India's s400 purchase given that we have suicide bomber next door.

Why is uncle Sam shitting bricks again on first day of new govt? Pappu would have caved in by now and even bumped off Rafales for F21.

Trump will be making a grave mistake if he tries to arm twist Modi.

The world is firmly divided into two camps, and India is the only economic and military power that is not in either camp and USA will be ill advised to push India away.

GSP has minimal impact on our trade... muricans are trying to pressure us not to go for data localisation laws.
i'd say data localisation is more important than GSP. Data is the new oil....

GSP is for countries with very low per capita income. Iirc 1000$ or 1500$ is limit. We are already beyond that .so technically we stopped qualifying for it long ago. This is not a major issue. Visa and other trade issue are far more important.
