They are not upgraded with grey ones?

standard of returning personal flame? Somehow you guys are dreaming during daytime. How is it possible that I don’t see Russia as a tiger? In the west Russia is a broken country. Warsaw pact is almost Nato. Their country is fragmented. Their forces are weak. And there is little innovation. They are not even able to help to get Kaveri up and running 😀

With Russia cripling we just need to see what India will get.

Mayeb if you know who paid for Arrow, Lavi and almost all other projects then you might see the whole picture. pssss… It was US funding.

>>>Pakistani FC-1s DO exist on paper only. Have they been inducted yet? Do any exist outside China? No? PAPER.

I rest my case. One sided opinion. At the same time PAKFA is flying around? It is the same logic I see with rating. IAF topics have high ratings. Isn;t that accidental or typical? Feel free to fill in the logic.

Please beam me up. About rach’s world. Most SF film show that image. But looking at developments it won’t go that fast towards starship enterprise (laserbeams).

is this the radar version? Not exactly a big radar.

I doubt this report. Anyone can rectify it?

US, India differ on issue of Patriots

By Our Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec 9: The United States and India are believed to have developed some differences over New Delhi’s expected purchase of a missile defence system from Washington, diplomatic sources told Dawn.

According to these sources, India wants to purchase the latest PAC-3 version of Patriot missiles while the United States is offering an earlier, PAC-1 version, used in the two Gulf wars.

The two countries have been involved in a substantive dialogue for supplying the Patriot missiles defence system and Deep-Sea Rescue Vehicles to India. US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who arrived in New Delhi on Thursday, was expected to finalize the deal during his two-day stay in the Indian capital.

But diplomatic sources in Washington believe that India’s demand for the latest PAC-3 version of the missile defence system could delay the deal. Policy-makers in New Delhi believe that if the Patriot deal goes through, they will not have to worry about the proposed $1.2 billion US arms package for Pakistan.

The Patriots will drastically improve India’s military capability, giving it a huge strategic advantage over both China and Pakistan. Patriot is a long-range, all-altitude, all-weather air defence system to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and advanced aircraft.
