NO NEED, to say the least!
India shud rather concentrate on its TRISHUL and make it VL launched rather than funding the Isreali’s Barak. I guess Indian’s are very short-sighted with very short memory …… Forgot that the western media bashing etc etc all had given trishul given such a grand ‘credit’ that it wud be there for long. And the only beneficary of that bashing was the one who made it into the Indian Navy service in place of Trishul.
SO WHAT has to be done is CONCENTRATE ON Trishul and develope it fully.
Also is there a need to seperate the Isreali’s from ‘penetration’ with the Lahat, Russia had to wait for 2 years for protecting its products from the obvious two usual suspects, but shamefully and surprisingly , India had already signed it with US already and that was as early as when the two sides had conducted its first joint exercises.
