Well, that is certainly not the way BD sees things at all, but you are going off topic

I think BD can talk for themselves.

As much as I think mujib was just a greedy power hungry traitor like bhutto... he was right on one thing... he asked for increased military presence in East Pakistan which West didnt do and hence they lost their eastern wing.

True. Bhutto and Mujib were both power hungry and India simply took advantage of the political situation at that time.

Let's see Buzdil India try and defend it's best friend Afghanistan from on the other side of Pakistan from Pakistani airstrikes and incursions. They won't even dare sell them any military hardware.

Yes - they are "talking for themselves" by buying new weapons and planes ... It does tell you where they think the relationship is at.

How reliable is this source though?

Personally I do very much like this decision if true. Because volume matters and we wouldn't have it in sufficient numbers with EFT.

But I won't believe this until I see something more concrete.

Number is greater than the Typhoon but not great enough. 24 is better than nothing, I guess. We have to e happy with that for now.

Is it business as usual for Forces Chiefs to attend a budget session of the National Assembly?

Looks like acquisition plans are going ahead after a long hibernation.

1. Navy will commence construction of 4 LPC this year.
2. Army is expanding it’s armour, rocket & Aviation.
3. Airforce is by far the most costly acquisitions of all.

But even with the small development budget allocated, it is enough to pay the initial signing amount neede.

LPC for crying out loud.

Where are the frigates?

who is going to occupy bangladesh?

Red herring!

Occupation is not the only consideration in upgrading one's military.
