I suppose because they are all NPT signatories, following current regime of IAEA safeguards (as far as current thresholds/standards of recognized peaceful activity). US would be crucial P5 vote (or geopolitical support in general) on proposing exceptions and making changes to that etc.

New Delhi: Malaysia's Air Force scrambled jets and the Foreign Ministry summoned China's envoy to explain an "intrusion" by 16 Air Force transport planes into its airspace. Malaysian Academic and Security Analyst Dr. Ahmad El-Muhammady explains the reactions after the Southeast Asian country's...

Next to zero. Its too expensive for India for what you get. Even Australia (far more developed and fiscally resourced than India) is struggling to justify its selection....and look at the delays/doubts there too (and more costs on that coming up inevitably). Barracuda only really makes sense...

Simple, Brazil is in middle income trap largely by the huge level of deep corruption that has beset lot of economic sectors that are sensitive to that kind of thing for innovation and growth. Brazil is very capable country industrially if it surmounts that kind of thing (Embraer and other names...

Typical media rent-a-con-omists like Mihir Sharma are attuned to wokism and the polarised-gotcha cherrypicking associated with that....knowing large audiences/mobs snap that all up with no actual understanding. It is nothing new from their end. In the end, the real question should be why does...

It is futile to deal (past a point) with the OCD of totalitarian regime supporters. There are basically 5 agenda items, and line 6 says "see point 1 and repeat". It is stuck on the keyboard and following of it is monitored to its faithfulness....in same little red book way as before. The OCD...

Honestly, another absolute comedy of bad decision making over decades that have now compounded. From 80s - 2010s (and still going) there was not one iota of appreciation by defence-babudom on there needing to be production side commited at some point and have core competency in stating (to RnD)...

Like I said, we simply can wait a year and see for ourselves. Or two years if the 1-year fanfare doesnt pan out. Then however many years after it. We are used to such predictions/threats a long time and how they actually pan out in the long term. The muslim league flag (basis of your country's...

It needs comparison of the relative rates (between the countries in question w.r.t world "average" since say 2% is very different to say 10% increase) and across different periods (5, 10 , 20 year blocks) to know what is structural versus transient.....and also what is general base inflation...

@Kartal1 it probably makes more sense to move this thread to this forum section and pin it there: https://defencehub.live/forums/military-history-wars.262/ ....since this is more history based overall etc.
