there are many websites on indian defence. i would like to see a serious website that details india’s military equipment purchase on a monthly-updated basis. what equipmt is india buying, what is being delivered, what is on order and when are they expected, how much is all this costing? details on a non-partisan apolitical basis. and please, would you change your web title

Well, the day you guys get up close and personal with a Su-30 MKI, I think you will change your mind about investing all our money in roti, kapda, makan. I mean, those are the coolest bloody planes. Wish I could have flown in one. And have you seen the performance stats on them? Man, what I wouldnt give for one of those babies. Nothing can impress the chicks quite like a Su-30 MKI! Ofcourse, with the cost of petrol, Id soon join the masses of my fellow & feline(Hey, Im not a sexist- and I couldnt think of the word for a female fellow) countrymen & women searching for roti, kapda, makan
Id still like to have 1 though. Anyone know of a good monthly instalment plan for them, spread over a million years or so?

Your picture description is VERY wrong.
Those are 2 SU-27 (back) flying with 2 F-15 (middle) and 2 Mirage 2000 (front).

May want to check your facts in future

Every country needs to be powerful enough to defend it self from its enemies. But if its through the way we are doing right now, we will face a down fall today or tommorow.

I think we should fund our education system. Fund the research and bring out the best from some of the best brains in the world, instead of letting them go somewhere else.

We always cry that the cream of India is going abroad. Can we find any IIT or REC being funded for any purpose either by public or private sector. If No they why.

Have we ever wounder why we dont fund our education system for advance research in this fields?

Think what if we didnt had N-missiles. we would buy that also to protect ourselves. But for how long we can keep on buying from other.

We can be independent and we should be.

Agreed, these purchases are of no use to the common man who is more concerned about his/her daily bread.

As soon as Pakistan went nuclear, the parity with India has been established. Now, no matter how many weapons that India has, Pak will always have the N-Bomb. And that does balance off everything.

Anyway, in the future, conventional wars will never be fought. Any war will be quick, smart and deadly. Even though India and China are too much entrenched in the global market to even fight against each other, one can never trust the Chinese. You may as well trust a snake.

Btw, i believe its silly to underestimate the benefits of the defence industry to the economy. They also employ millions directly and indirectly.
