Your broken English...@ Anonymous 29 OCT 2012 13:13<br /><br />Your broken English has an unmistakably Italian accent to it! I can understand your frustration but tell you what - you should have weighed out your options and risks before you decided to grease a few palms! That's surely no way to resurrect your sick economy that much is certain. <br /><br />To Col. Shukla, would love for you to shed some light about how the MoD has gone about the process of blacklisting enterprises that get caught up in these murky deals. Have they gone ahead and blacklisted only the division or business directly implicated or has the MoD taken a stand to block all group companies owned by the parent <br />in the recent past ? If the latter is true, then that bodes ill for not just the WASS torpedo deal. It bodes trouble for the SELEX SISTEMI's radar contract for the IACs and for the prospects of the NH90 in the Indian Navy's ongoing competition for rotor crafts. <br />More long term impacts could rule out the possible selection of the C-27J as a possible fall back option if the MTA fails to deliver the goods.<br /><br /><br /> <br />Subhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004604247421013343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-7216442076768032672012-10-29T00:43:44.492-07:002012-10-29T00:43:44.492-07:00India,can now be essentially classified as a count...India,can now be essentially classified as a country which will always be ruled dumb fools.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
