That era is over for India (w.r.t US). We saw the last bits of it (geopolitical bargaining and pressure) in the 1990s (esp in clinton era and also bush sr and jr in decade after) when world was transitioning into post-cold war and India was quite economically weak and had all kind of problems...

ooooh boy @AlphaMike @500 et al. everything is just going great! The Kremlin likely ordered Russian “federal subjects” (regions) to form volunteer battalions to participate in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, instead of declaring partial or full mobilization in Russia. Russian war correspondent...

A great read and thanks. @Joe Shearer may like to read it and the larger discussion here too.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/us-house-recommends-caatsa-waiver-for-india/articleshow/92883893.cms Synopsis The CAATSA sword has been hanging over the US-India relationship ever since India went for the Russian S-400 missile defence system. While it passed the House, the...

Turkey has all the knowhow and industrial capacity already to make the first levels of nuclear weapons. It is a political decision, geopolitical timing and weathering of consequences that are the biggest factors. There are several countries in similar position to Turkey.

I understand that for sure. Inertia and legacy, its not so easy to switch. I mean this is why in the end (among the powerful nations) we buy 0 from China for defence. Yet we buy considerably from US now compared to cold war. In fact in the cold war (and even post cold war), it was the US...

tbh, naturalized citizens should not hold any elected office to begin with....given what politics is and what it can do collectively. Western countries are far too lax on this.

Around 9.30 mark, is the issue I spoke about earlier @rodeo i.e we were pushed up against wall much more for missiles, thats why theres genuine results there now to enjoy. Other defence tech, its casual circular import lobby prevalent to various degrees...that is slowly changing only now The...

Any thoughts/comments are appreciated @Paro @crixus @Gessler et al.

Well pride, ego (or more mundane internal bureaucracy + politics) plays a role true, but its not so big like you say here...at least in India case. India imports/collaborates on defence products from countries around the same perceived strength as Turkey or even noticeably weaker for...

No not really, these are to monitor deeper into China iirc as the main role for now. Generally the earlier herons integrated with other assets are used in the other front with Pakistan....and will be in process of being upgraded this decade. India own UAV ecosystem has had a slow start...

The replenishment tanker deal is pretty sizeable for example. Hopefully paves way for better things in future. Well...that was 4 for a lease, that was separate thing that went into acquisition for (supposedly 10).... first link I mean the one embedded in the tweets. Then these twitter people...

Twitter is just a bunch of garbage larping 99% of the time with these handles. All I am asking for is an actual official source on costings, if intention is to compare. Then we can move to look at the capacities/roles of the platforms past that...those are not the same either.

The link you posted at the top says 10 drones for 400 million dollars. Is that 100 million a drone? Twitter rumours past that is something to assert on?

It's better to know than to think before starting this "its crazy!" assertion. Maybe actually post source of what you are referring to so we see what it is you piling on top of it past that?

I forwarded to a buddy, he really liked this one lol.
