India continues to purchase more and more Western Military Hardware by the day. What would the members like to see India purchase next and why???
I think that is exactly what LF meant when he started the post ...what a rubish post,dont waste urs energy what west wants from us concentrate what we getting from west.
I would like to see India blacklist every Western arms dealer. How is that?India continues to purchase more and more Western Military Hardware by the day. What would the members like to see India purchase next and why???
Central Asia..Siberia..Sakhalin...these are proven oil reserves. Myanmar has huge oil and gas deposits off its coast.Asia countries and Oil? Apart from the middle east and a little bit of SE Asia, there are not that many economical oil reserves in Asia.
Sure you would- you are from Russia.I would like to see India blacklist every Western arms dealer. How is that?
Do we really need threads like these?
I would love to see US share technological expertise with India in building nuclear powered ACs. They are the best in the world and we are yet to build one, or I guess even plan for one.
If, you don't care to have a free and respectful debate with some members of the forum. Feel free to go to another thread............what a rubish post,dont waste urs energy what west wants from us concentrate what we getting from west.
me too ..................first of all i thought it is thread about how western countries like america want to colonise asian countries for their oil
Indian wishlist from the West would be a more apt title.first of all i thought it is thread about how western countries like america want to colonise asian countries for their oil
Have India requested for any assistance yet? I guess it is being built indigenously. I also guess building a nuclear powered AC would not be that tough considering our defense industry did come up with the Arihant, with help from Russia and France. I might be wrong though.You can bet the US and France will give India a great deal of assistance with its current Carrier Program.
DCN and Russian are involve in our Naval programs for long time, US may not like to get involve..You can bet the US and France will give India a great deal of assistance with its current Carrier Program.
