I wish that when you post you give a minor breif about such effects.<br />some how i am skeptical about the F-35 in our stock (if we opt, and they give). Wont it come with a lot of strings attached, how can we utilize them to full potential. All depends on how well we bargain. Hope Uncle sam will understand such systems are win-win for both sides, than a mere potential customer. Also I hope they offer the F-35B/C for our future 'big' carriers (again not with 'ropes' attached...the lot of strings sometimes assume the rope status)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-8552949396707608242011-06-21T10:50:08.443-07:002011-06-21T10:50:08.443-07:00QUOTE>> Agreed.

Reports say Lockeed Martin is offering these planes to get back into MMRCA deal. If that happens your assessment of Indias need to go for Lockeed Martin F-35 instead of MMRCA may well be vindicated.<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Joydeep Ghoshjoydeep ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038225081192821456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-2649897002217869082011-06-20T22:28:36.213-07:002011-06-20T22:28:36.213-07:00this is silly. other countries churn out and commi...this is silly. other countries churn out and commission such kinds of boat like police cars and here we are publicising it like as though we inducted a destroyer or submarine etc.<br />it's a patrol boat people. it can be purchased "off-the-shelf" from South Korea, FInland, Germany etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-46318109569246552742011-06-20T14:10:02.160-07:002011-06-20T14:10:02.160-07:00Ajai,
