@TheLegateIN Ok. Lekin naqal k liay aqal bhi chahiay Hoti hai Jo "prominent south Asian nation with close defense and political ties to Israel" k paas nahi hai.
@TheLegateIN India is worried because there is a growing realization in France about how the IAF has proven to be a PR disaster for Rafale after having gotten 4 of them shot down last year. That is the reason France is delaying the new contract.
@AajKamranKhan Too much bad blood between these two. Paksitan is doing what it can. But peace won't happen unless the two main parties are willing to let peace prevail.
Differences aside, let's help find a missing fellow human being before the Indian government puts the blame on "Lashkar" and tries another misadventure with Paksitan.
Pakistani here. They asked us too to not carry out nuclear tests. We didn't give a shit and went ahead anyway. Today no one messes with us because we have THE bomb. It's ironic how the 2 biggest proponents of depriving Iran from its right to enrich uranium themselves are nuclear powers; one of them being the only one to have used nuclear weapons on another nation.
From how quickly the IAF Spox has jumped in to call it fake news, makes me think that it must have been Tejas. They can't afford a Tejas crash because they have been fiercely negotiating with the Americans for the engine. American defense manufaturers would definitely not want their name associated with an inferior quality product.
I have said it before and I will say it again. All nations selling defence equipment to India MUST rethink their choices. India is a PR disaster for other countries' flagship defence equipment. Look at Rafale (they got 4 of them shot down in 10 mins). Look at Su-30 (they crash one every month).
