Global trotting salesmen? Yes they r.....N will sell to whomever
who show $$$$$$$ I think we r more concern if they r buying than
when they r not........Note that Indo r buying from Russia not
India who r their partner in this missile......News becomes news if
they r pick up by the papers n only if there's no other "bigger"
news....Cos if they don't report would outsiders know? Not many
would.....Rem we r on the same side...Of cos we hope it's not true
y would we think otherwise
Running out of ideas now are we? And news such as these are
highly speculative. Even the Indonesian press did not pick it up.
If you are saying that a super-sonic cruise missile purchase is`nt
big news here, then you`re holding on to thin air. Even reports on
such `interestsÂ’ get carried in the press. This report remains
speculative unless I see more credible sources such as Janes, etc.
And that means you`re speculative. If you have`nt noticed, the
reports come with a nationalistic flavour.
If other sys need lot of $$$ or more maintenance maybe they now
rather have a off/def weapon that's cheaper n less
maintenance....Poor man's option
Mind telling us how much they cost? Poor man`s option indeed.
The Indonesians are struggling to bring their systems back online –
the current ones online. Look at their army, air-force and navy.
Let alone buy a whole bunch of cruise missiles.
Wat i meant was when the Aussies said they r buying long range
missiles see all the noise the others made.......Maybe Indo have
learnt from that n also M r looking at BrahMos as well....So
there's no noise from the usual sources
Maybe this? maybe that? Pop goes the weasel. The Aussies did`nt
blink an eye when they did that. Tell me who`s going to make noise
at Indonesia if she decides to buy the brahmos? A country of 210
million people? Who in the right mind would do anything to
Indonesia? As far as arms procurement are concerned, they`re on top
with the rest up there in terms of ignoring other countries'
concerns.
