Whats up with India gearing up for a big war?

geetrue · 08-22-08, 10:22 PM

This article is one of the many from the front page of subsim about India's constant growth ...
more and more I keep seeing the movement of arms, supplies, ships, planes and weapons to India from Russia.

Especially submarine related items like this one.

I wonder what is up with this power grab ... Pakistan can't be all that bad for India to be worried about them.

Who does that leave?

Moscow: The Indo-Russian BrahMos multi-role supersonic cruise missile is in full production with deliveries being made to Indian Navy and Army. A complete battery of land-based missiles is also in service with the Army, BrahMos Aerospace chief executive, Dr Sivathanu Pillai said here.

Speaking at the MSVS-2008 show in Moscow, he said that the Indo-Russian joint venture is looking at producing 40-50 missiles annually in order to meet Indian requirements.

It is the most increasingly prosperous country.
No surprise it has a increasingly powerful military.

Have to agree with this myself. Pakistan is the prime enemy, and I think the message being sent is don't screw with us unless you plan to use nukes.

Whenever a Country begins to become economically viable, then axiomatically so does their military. They have something worth protecting. Kudos to India. the entire Indo-China region is unstable and they can add some stability to this if they continue to improve and strengthen their military.

Everybody knows that the future holds conflicts over geographic areas of resources, energy, sweet water. India is preparing.

And I find it strange that always the one country

- that spends more on military than the next 15 countries in the top 20 list of defense spendings together,
- and that spends ten times as much as the second ranked nation or third ranked nation in that list,
- and that just had raised it's defense budget to a new record that even probably surpasses the highest defense budget seen in the cold war

always seem to complain as the first and complains the loudest about other nations outside the NATO rising their defense budgets a little bit.

If you are the wolf, you better are careful to demand others to cut their teeth shorter.
