You were hyper critical of the government and Parrikar when he sacked A Chander(Proof from 20 Jan 2015: http://ajaishukla.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/is-there-message-in-drdo-chiefs-exit.html), but made a complete U-turn on the matter in less than 6 months time. (Proof: @ajaishukla May 29 Boost to indigenous defence with appt of new DRDO chief and 1st-ever full-time Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister). <br /><br />Don't you think it’s a habit for you to jump the gun, Mr.Shukla?<br /><br />http://ajaishukla.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/is-there-message-in-drdo-chiefs-exit.html<br />Another case in point of you jumping the gun here, before you accuse me of unreliably accusing you. <br /><br />Btw why have you not followed up on the IJT story? Is it because it’s not convenient for you? or is it that you've always been whimsical? You recently posted an article about HAL working to weaponize the Hawk AJT, but you forgot to check the status of IJT with HAL? Strange!<br /><br />You Ajai Ji/Ajai sir/Ajai bhai/Ajai Shukla are an underdog, ask yourself what psychological wound are you nursing by trying to be an anti-establishment rebellious underdog, and a whimsical one at that, all the time? <br /><br />It is time let go of the thinking that you are the best. <br /><br />‘You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.’<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-65553380857952134982015-06-10T10:05:44.981-07:002015-06-10T10:05:44.981-07:00What do you mean by saying that the Liaoning is no...What do you mean by saying that the Liaoning is not a "serious vessel"?

'K' issue was another outcome of their policies. <br />Their only wise move has been to stay neutral in ever shifting sands of international power games. Now at this stage to forego the advantage for some 'military gadgets' would be a folley. We do not want to join any formal groups against China. <br />Develop our economy and infrastructure assiduously and earn money the way China has done.

It's a very different world today. Without Uncle Sam's blessings no country could've reached where they are today, be it Japan, Germany, S.Korea or China. It's time that we come to terms with the reality and did things which are in our interests. Hanging on to a self defeating socialist mindset which congress is hamstrung with, won't help India and Indians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-75811192038452220992015-06-10T03:18:27.570-07:002015-06-10T03:18:27.570-07:00Pls write your next article on Myanmar raid by our...Pls write your next article on Myanmar raid by our paratroopers....lspkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-20121273298348509182015-06-10T02:02:58.327-07:002015-06-10T02:02:58.327-07:00Strange why such exceptional batting for USA??Strange why such exceptional batting for USA??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-36383740934192073202015-06-09T23:26:33.539-07:002015-06-09T23:26:33.539-07:00You want an equal relationship with America or a l...You want an equal relationship with America or a lap-dance in the American club? Want to imitate Tony Blair's poodle manners with US ? Wanna be treated like a great power ?? Then, start behaving like one. <br /><br />Have you read the text of CISMOA and BECA ? Why pay so much when all Americans are doing is leasing their weapons on annual contract, enforced by annual inspections?? Of all people, you definitely know, how many items were replaced from INS Jalashwa to make it less prone to inspections.<br /><br />Don't make it look like a simplistic issue. India will treat Indo-US relations on its merit and not on any emotional or moral notion. It is buying support platforms as much as possible but India will not compromise on its operational sovereignty. The biggest problem of Indian policy makers and opinion builders - like you, is your emotional treatment of geo-strategic issues.Cut down on emotions, please.Rituraj Raonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-74917505498496544002015-06-09T21:39:11.500-07:002015-06-09T21:39:11.500-07:00If India refuses to sign simple agreements like CI...If India refuses to sign simple agreements like CISMOA, BECA and LSA how can they trust us with transferring advanced technologies and know how? India's interests are compromised by super corrupt vote bank seeking pseudo socialist politicians.<br />There is a very close link between defense and economy. USA is the sole superpower and is the force behind several Asian countries, including China progressing from 3rd world to 1st world. Whatever India has achieved is solely due to the inherent talent of the people of this huge country. The politicians have always been a hurdle to India achieving its real potential.<br />Modi to payback Israel for supporting him, scuttled the lucrative Javelin deal in favor of a much inferior Spike anti tank missile, which as per recent reports has run into rough weather.<br />If India has to progress both militarily and economically, it has to forge closer ties with USA. USA will part with high technology only if we become a part of their overall security apparatus. If we take the burden of patrolling the Indian Ocean on behalf of the democratic world and share crucial intel with USA, that may eventually lead to USA helping us with nuclear reactors for ships and subs. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-61017052202641308162015-06-09T05:26:18.059-07:002015-06-09T05:26:18.059-07:00"But now after the US-India civil nuclear agr..."But now after the US-India civil nuclear agreement;...". <br /><br />How good is an agreement signed in 2005 that has India still struggling to get acceptance from the 'nuclear suppliers group' and the 'Australia group' among others, and we are now in 2015.<br /><br />You mentioned Pakistan could only dream of getting some of the weapons offered. However, they have the f16 and may be getting the block52 pretty soon. They also have the Apache(older version no doubt). Although right now EMALS might not be on their mind given their morbid economic situation and their phantom navy, save a few decent subs :).<br /><br />So there must be something both Indian governments(past & present) are aware of that results in them feeling that there is no need to rush into uncle Sam's 'come to papa' embrace. Although to some extent they do want to get cosier. But by how much, this is the question that needs an answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
