@randy_marsh97@HQuarterma43504@racistbilbo Issue with DDGs is that Indian Ocean is becoming hostile territory for the US. There are no safe zones to station them. The only "ally" the US has in the Indian Ocean is the nation of Bollywood watchers which the Americans are keen to spit on.
@randy_marsh97@HQuarterma43504@racistbilbo Which is ironic in the context of this discussion, that the only place safe for Americans these days in Indian Ocean is Indian ports and military bases.
@randy_marsh97@HQuarterma43504@racistbilbo Also US military competence is overstretched as we have seen in Iran conflict. An MH-60R needs a place to take off, usually an aircraft carrier or a destroyer.
In the Iran conflict, American ships had to flee to Indian ports to escape Iranian fire.
@samyak128 say "Saar a billion Indians are with you". Then the same guy says that "We are good goys saar we are reducing oil import from Russia saar".
Literally proved Congressi rhetoric about RSS saaring British during independence struggle via a live demonstration.
@samyak128 Congress removed US embassy security even when India was in the wrong (Khobragade).
Now we're seeing Jaishankar scoff when Rubio is (rightly) questioned about race war rhetoric against Indians from US councilors and Hindutva intellectuals go to NatCon 24 to
@KuldeepGaurav7@samyak128 Modi has increased reservation while crippling critical state institutions like BARC, HAL, ISRO.
NTA can't conduct a test without a paper leak, ISRO has had a hard year, NavIC is dow, HAL employee count has remained stagnant, R&D budget of GoI is decreasing in real terms.
@FinestYew HAL lined shut down after 2019 after MKI orders under UPA were complete. Topi then did order LCA but being the American simp he is, he did not parallely fund the Kaveri project and thought "Gora saar will gib us engine", looks like Gora saars have malafied Intent.
@FinestYew Modi has somehow managed to outdo even INC of 2004-2014 on matters of defence...on making it *worse*.
P15B/P17A were ordered during UPA.
P75, Arihant SSBNs during UPA.
Follow up orders of MKIs were ordered during UPA.
Under Topi, shipbuilding lines are shutting down.
@KSingh_1469 All these defence accounts are mostly after that engagement money, bro. No need to get your BP high. Even these guys know all this paper shifting has nothing to do with reality.
Not even the screw that is supposed to go in the first AMCA has been manufactured yet.
The simplest explanation for why General Electric is not delivering engines to India is that it likely has someone with a racial angst on its board or is being instructed by one in Fed which simply does not want to provide aeroengine to a non white nation.
Mk1A is choked due to engine supply from the US. Unless Kaveri is put on it, it is dead.
Mk2 is dead in all retrospect. It's why they're delaying the first flight. They don't have the engine supply secured at all.
Inducting new MKIs + LCA (Kaveri) is the only thing left.
If PMO was not 70 IQ Khi Khi Khi, he'd be:
+ Getting GTRE some 747s as test beds
+ Getting HAL to make extra LCA air frames to test on existing Kaveri engines
+ Commissioning a new aircraft based on Russian engines we do manufacture (HLFT-42 + AL-31)
Mk1A is choked due to engine supply from the US. Unless Kaveri is put on it, it is dead.

@KSingh_1469 It's not like we are drowning with choices are we? The Mk2 is not going to get inducted before 2035s. Mk1a delivery will run through 2032. Super sukhois will take 10yrs. This AMCA side quest might just have a chance of doing things differently
"Let's import!"
Yeah, about that.
+ IT revenue declining
+ Remittances too will decline due to nativist sentiment in many countries
+ Oil prices are up
+ Fertilizer prices are up
+ US has become extractive and hostile in a racial-civilizational sense (very important)
