So far there are no news reports from the BBC,Any British media outlets like the Guardian or not even any amnesty international reports on it. Considering that we have just tripled arms exports to Bahrain, it is unlikely we would have stopped sending them to Bangladesh and the fact that...

....Can you please Indicate where i mentioned we want to tackle the IN? Despite sayings of BD members on this forum, BN cannot Tackle IN ever. However, it serves the regions interests such as curbing piracy, being able to send better ships for UN peacekeeping. India would rather have...

Don't expect it a new rifle in the next decade. We recently just got the license to produce the BD-08 in 2008 and it Would be far too expensive to change it to make a new rifle in less than a decade. Hopefully our agreement with belarus may lead to it.

Excuse me?? What did i say?I gave a basic observation about the Air force and Nuclear weapons.There is a major Difference between pride/Arrogance and Rational/logical thinking. If our Military was so super, there would be no need for modernisation. We have 8 migs, they have over 20. They...

The one your taking about in Feb 2012 was 850 million dollars...It only got changed to 1 billion dollars in Jan 2013. Even Russian experts have stated that the Loan will not be used all at once but in small orders over the next few years. We will probably get some news before the End of...

1 billion dollars on SAM systems is too much in my opinion. We are already spending that much on the Submarine procurement. We still have the 1 billion dollar loan from Russia which has not been spent on anything as of yet. Also taking into consideration of our agreement with belarus, we will...

Conflicting Numbers is likely just for a phycological impact on the Myanmese-They are incredibly paranoid about either us or the Thais invading them. As far as effiecincy goes, we have a very effiecent force and even the myanmese have noticed that we can mobilise forces much quicker than they can.
