Breaking Strategical News!

Russia - China - India = Just think about it!

Looks like we can congrulate again Mr Putins wise diplomatical skills, and hail two headed eagle from achieving impossible task! ... Nightmare on Wall Street?

Strategical partnership is done with INDIA-SCO:

Glonass - No GPS based weaponry in future
Nuclear plants - No western companies to India
Weaponry - Big push for eastern arms development

SCO membership included?

I think after these openings, we will see Chinese invasion in Indian markets soon. These kind of strategical sales would not happen without Chinese 100% approval - maybe this can be also seen as SCOs answer to weapon sales to Taiwan?

Also now when we are heading to new ME sanctions and war against Iran - Eastern block is strenghtening their wings, and making great opposition to future US/EU/ISRAELI movements.

India is a balance making state. We can underestimate these deals... But what mr Bush think to achieve with huge efforts, is done dry now by mr Putin - and I think we witness today nightmare in western camp, so we who fight against NWO - lets hail the growing multipolarism in the world!

Analysis from today...

India, Russia to strengthen its strategic partnership

India and Russia will strengthen its bilateral ties in crucial areas such as atomic energy, space and defence during Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's interaction with Indian leadership.

India has a strong cooperation in the nuclear field with the Russians. Besides defence cooperation India-Russia ties are strategically important as leaders of both countries are also expected to establish a strategy on Afghanistan, critical to their own security.The talks will focus on the security situation in Afghanistan, but will also extend to global issues including climate change, global financial crisis.

- Difficult to see its only bilateral cooperation and ties. Nothing happens these days without SCO included deep in strategical deccisions by East.

This IS big news for Planet Earth. Russia always wanted to win the Great Game for dominating India and the East. Much of the last two centuries have been based on this or preventing it. Interesting times for the English speaking people

Great! I applause these people. This is just what we needed, more lunatics with with triggers that unleash destruction. This world just keeps getting better and better with each passing day.

Don't citizens ever ask why we have enough nukes to destroy the world?

This seriously doesn't make any sense.

With all due respect, you are dramatizing this greatly.

The US is the world's biggest arms exporter, followed by Russia. Emerging powers have plenty of money and once they start to increasingly get power, they start investing in their military. Those considered hostile are not sold weapons to (e.g. China), those considered friendly are. Everyone wants a chunk of the Indian market - as they are generally considered by both Russia and the US as neutral/friendly.

America has been selling billions of military equipment to India, Russia and Israel do so too. Why does it become such a threat when Russia does it? It's all about money.

this is very scary chess playing.

what are the Russian's, Indians, and Chinese planning?

More importantly, what will the USA do to counter this brilliant strategic move?

I don’t think Russia is planning anything, why do people see a conspiracy in everything is beyond me.

The Russian military is really outdated, they have new jets, tanks, rockets and so on….. On paper but don’t have the money to re-arm the entire military, this is a really good way to make money for renewal of old equipment. I think it is just that and nothing else.

I even heard on the news on one of the Russian channels (ORT) where the defense minister of Russia was saying that they have a big problem to update/change military equipment do to budget restrains, after the fall of the USSR they have just continued by upgrading old equipment with new technology and have not mass produced the new equipment which they have designs for.

So I think deals like this will be common because they need the money.

On that note - I don't think the Indians are planning anything either.

They are more or less a nation of peace , having survived enough battles and wars to put a lot of other nations to shame.

India might have its problems, but has shown great restraint.

Sorry to disappoint - but there is no master Russia-India-China conspiracy here. Neither of the three will ally militarily with each other, and there are very serious obstacles to them forming any serious strategic partnership. As for the SCO - there are still questions as to the realistic benefits of it, as it is mostly a diplomatic tool with some economic overtones.

This is business, nothing more nothing less. India is a very large country, with limited domestic defense manufacturing capabilities, and facing a number of potential external threats. India has thus been a major buyer of defense technologies for more than a decade. And it is not just Russian arms manufacturers who have a market there - there is very strong competitions from virtually every major arms exporter there, including US, Israel, much of Europe, Eastern Asia, etc. Russian exporters usually win the contracts, because they offer lower prices and because India has extensive experience with Russian hardware.

Also, by nuclear deals they mean civilian nuclear technology not military. To my knowledge India does not import either missiles or warheads for their nuclear arsenal.

It is only now that I read about a big evil alliance between India, China and Russia. India considers China as a dangerous strategic threat. The Sino-Indian dispute that occurred some fifty years ago is still very much alive. Both India and China are increasingly attempting to change Himalayan state into proxies. In addition, China backs India's arch-rival Pakistan with weapons, military bases and so on.

Russia does not consider China as an enemy, but they see them more as 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'. If I am not mistaken, Russia has also largely reduced transferring advanced military technology to China due to their reverse-engineering practices, making it a logical consequence that they seek other markets to sell their weaponry to.

Wont happen trust me.

China have no say in Indian deals. Russia has always been the major exporter to arms and other military related tech. to India since it got it's Independence.

Indian citizens back their Govt. on nuclear issue and want to move ahead in nuclear field which will advance India's position in other field such as tech., space, medical etc.

Correct.

India in my opinion is not playing any conspiracy, they keep to themselves and does not like being involved in other countries affairs. They try to make friendly relations with all countries for eg. India had good relation with Saddam and now also helping Afghanistan rebuild, Iran and also supports Palestine whilst at the same time have good relations with Israel too. They just want to remain neutral somewhat like Switzerland.

There are plenty of western countries exporting nuclear technology to India, including France, United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. 6 French reactors are planned in India at 1650 megawatt each.

It is something the west needs to keep an eye on though.

New Delhi, March 13 (ANI): India and Russia inked several pacts including civil nuclear cooperation and supply and joint development of military hardware during a hectic daylong visit of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to New Delhi on Friday. The two countries also upgraded their nuclear co-operation with Russia pledging to build up to 16 nuclear reactors for power stations in India.

Russia will build more than 1,000 stealth fighter jets within four decades, including at least 200 for its traditional weapons buyer India. Russia is also expected a joint venture with the state-run Indian company Hindustan Aeronautics Limited to manufacture around 200 fifth-generation fighter jets.

Also here is an interesting spin on events.

India embraces Russia arms

On the minds of both parties, analysts said, was a nation not present at the signing. "China will be the ghost in the room," wrote analyst C. Raja Mohan in an opinion piece this week in the Indian Express.

Having a working aircraft carrier -- India's only carrier, the 50-year-old British-built Viraat, rarely leaves port -- should allow India to expand its presence in the Indian Ocean. India has watched China in recent years forge strategic port alliances with Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar as part of Beijing's South Asian "string of pearls" strategy.

China doesn't have an aircraft carrier, although U.S. intelligence reports suggest it could within five years. Nor is it expected any time soon to base military craft in the Indian Ocean. But Beijing is heavily outspending India on defense and is keen to safeguard its seaborne oil trade with the Middle East, a lifeline for its hyper-charged economy.
