Damn he's got a shinny forehead.
India-U.S. military exchanges seem to be increasing in pace and frequency. At the same time, there's also an upcoming anti-terrorism exercise that will be held in October conducted by the members of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in India as a host country with her two major rivals (China and Pakistan) sending their respective military delegations to participate in the exercise. India is learning and absorbing a lot of these military exchanges to their advantage one that can be vital/useful for the Americans since the Indians are more comfortable with their American counterparts in terms of sharing capabilities and know-how.
I am trying to find any news on India's indigenous A.C. that was supposed to be handed over to the Indian Navy in time for the Republic Day celebration but unfortunately such exciting news did not happen or was not televised because the carrier does not yet have any fighter planes on board. The Indian government seems to be at an impasse on which platform to select between U.S. F/18 Super hornet or French made Rafale.
This important factor did not seem to factor in with respect to the Indian news presenter along with the Indian expert boldly proclaiming that INS Vikrant is a game changer against yet again China.

It's not just the aircraft, which really isn't that far off since they just need to make a call on buying from French or US and pay up, it's not like they're building the planes.
The carrier is also missing her arrestor cables and her radars, she's got a way to go yet.
Are you serious? Then what was the point of that sea trial stuff that they did though? I would have assumed that such trials require all the electronics, radars etc...to be installed on any A.C. for set up and teetering issues or am are my comments incorrect?
Another delay and yet I never stop hearing, reading, watching from the cacophony of YouTube experts western and Indians alike how awesome the Indian military is or how EFFICIENT INDIAN TECHNOLOGY SPECIALLY THEIR ISRO.
I never could understand why the west are pushing for fiction in supporting India's capabilities. They are not that incompetent but they're not what the west are trying to make India to be which is a competent wannabe superpower being hoisted to foil against China.
China was useful, and instrumental in bringing down the USSR but you would never know about it since all the glory and praise are reserve for the dominant power: U.S.
I am curious why they choose 7.62x39mm Soviet ranther than 5.56x45mm NATO. 556 has better performance and it has been used in INSAS rifle.
