Featured US warned India that MiG-29s and Su-30s wouldn’t help against China

"Your neighbour is your natural enemy and the neighbour's neighbour is your
friend"; Kautilya said,
I quote.

For those who are coming across this name
for the first time: Kautilya, also known as Chanakya, was born in 4th
century BC in eastern India. He served as adviser to King Chandragupta of
Mauriyan Emperor.

India follows the Chanakya state-crafts and it is a part of their diplomacy...a failed one, one of duplicity and deception, falsehood and lies.

As long as India keeps on following the Arthashastras or policies enacted as statecraft's by this Chanakya, there will always be problems for India, as these state policies cannot work these days, maybe at that point in time it was fine, not now.
Why are they reinforcing failures???

Didn't the Hindu kingdoms get decimated by the Muslim Conquerors???
 
WASHINGTON, (BM) – The conflict between New Delhi and Beijing over the Himalayan stretch claimed by both countries is forcing India to acquire new fighters, as we reported yesterday.


The American columnist of Forbes, David Ax, recalls that recently it became known about the death of 20 Indian soldiers in a shootout along the disputed Indian-Chinese border, passing through a towering mountain range. He also notes that, according to media reports [Forbes – ed.], forty-three Chinese soldiers were injured in the clash.

“It is not surprising that India this week allegedly placed an order with Russia for $780 million for 33 fighters with Russia, which is enough to equip or re-equip two squadrons,” the publication says.

It is known that New Delhi plans to acquire 21 MiG-29 fighters and several Su-30.

The Indian Air Force has long planned to purchase additional aircraft to strengthen the existing arsenal of service, consisting of about 230 Su-30s and 60 MiG-29s. New Delhi also plans to acquire 83 local Tejas light fighters, as well as 144 foreign medium-sized fighters, in the coming years.

David Ax notes that all new fighters are part of the effort to increase the air force from 28 front-line squadrons to 40, the number of which New Delhi considers sufficient to fight simultaneously with Pakistan and China.

“These 28 squadrons fly on a stunning variety of fighters, including Indian and Russian types, the French Mirage 2000s and Rafales, and European Jaguars,” recalls an observer for the American publication.

Tom Cooper, an author and aviation expert, expressed his surprise that the Indian Air Force wants the Su-30 and MiG-29 to meet the extraordinary requirements for a pair of aircraft squadrons. Su-30, although it seems impressive on paper, in comparison with Western models does not have performance and combat efficiency.

David Ax explains that Cooper’s point of view is this: for decades, the Mirage 2000 was a more effective fighter in the Indian service than the Su-30. Rafale, the successor to the French-made Mirage, is also one of India’s finest fighters. However, the Indians ordered a total of 36 Rafale.

“The Su-30 not only does not have the latest high-precision air-to-ground ammunition, but also does not work well with high-altitude air bases supporting Indian operations along the so-called border,” the Forbes publication says.

The lighter MiG-29 is better suited for the Indian Air Force than the Su-30. However, this does not mean that the old MiG is the right choice for New Delhi.

“So why, faced with the advancing Chinese army, the Indian Air Force wants to get Russian fighters?” – the observer of the American edition wonders.

The Indian company HAL is building a Su-30C under license in India, that is, New Delhi, buying “drying”, sends money to Indian companies.

nkorea is much better than india and they prevented u.s from attacking their small country with much less defense budget and economy as compared to india,indian armed forces are incapable and will fail even after they get f35
 
Indian move to go for Russian planes is just to pressurise US upon abandoning of India in Galwan beating; else Indian very well aware of that these plane won't help and Indians admitted it after 27-Feb in favour of Raphaels - so many Indian twists to prove their importance but miserably failed.

indians should just import israeli pilots
 
Are they latest versions of mig 29 and su 30? If su 30 has same technology as su 30mki from 2000s then purchase will be ineffective.

They only prevented an US attack because they have nuclear weapons ... not to mention the proximity of Seoul to North Korea.
 
india also has nukes but failed to stop china
Unlike India though the most North Korea does is conduct some nuclear explosions or test ballistic missiles. Meanwhile the Indians are always trying to menace the Chinese at the border. There is a difference. If North Korea tried to break through the DMZ and acquire more of South Korea's territory then the US would definitely attack.
