Say US decision-makers, "The Indian military is feeling its weakness especially after witnessing the US capabilities in Afghanistan. Indian air power and C2 (Command and Control) are so limited that the Indian Air Force was surprised by capabilities that the US military takes for granted, such as airlift capacity."

There is more to the American argument, "The Indians are unhappy with the quality of the Russian equipment and have experienced problems in their deal with Israel and France. The United States is the preferred alternative."

Yesterday: Target next: Indian military bases
Today: What does the Indian military want?
Tomorrow: 'Indians cannot think strategically'

No foreign forces in my land. No American tells me where I can and can not go in my country.

Bottomline: No bases.
Solution: We develop our own technology. We have waited so far, we shall wait longer.

You shall see, just you wait.
