It's worth noting that India has had at least one carrier in its fleet since 1961. They have decades of experience in carrier operations and fleet coordination that China simply lacks. That experience can't be learned in a few short years or stolen. Also, India has been strengthening diplomatic and military relationships with their neighbors in SE Asia, all of whom have their own critical interests in keeping China in check. China is encroaching on all its neighbors, and a strong coalition is the best defense.

Glad to see Indias 🇮🇳 growth into a proper superpower. They will certainly get there. They are doing some amazing things. Great chess players, missions to the moon, and modernizing its military. I know there are a lot of Indians that are reluctant to cozy up to the West because of past colonial tensions. But I’ve always liked the Indian people and I’m glad to see them come up. I think we should have a strong friendship and alliance with India. But because India is cozy with Russia, I don’t think it will ever be a “nato” type relationship with the west. I have nothing against Russia. As a matter of fact I think it’s dumb the USA doesn’t pursue a friendship with Russia. Cold War mentality continues… Anyways, congrats to India on recent achievements 👍🏻

[@laulaja-7186]

USA did get a lot closer with Russia under Yeltsin. Maybe it could have been done better but it was mainly Putin’s Cold War nostalgia and mafioso mindset that made him ratchet the tension back up. Most of us Russia fans were hugely disappointed with that decision.

[@Wargasm54]

@@laulaja-7186 to be fair, we told Putin “no more eastward expansion “ and we kept expanding NATO right on Russias doorstep. There was no way Putin was going to let NATO get a foothold in Ukraine. Russia would then have NATO missiles 200 miles from Moscow. What do you think the USA would do if say Mexico or Canada got friendly with China and allowed China to build military bases in their country? Do you think America would allow that? No. We would not. And if it called for us to attack, we would. That being said, there was a deal on the table to keep Ukraine neutral while still allowing them into the EU and still be allied with the West without joining NATO. The USA and Britain told Ukraine to not take the deal. So Putin attacked. Can you blame him? Also, it’s a known fact we (the USA) had chemical research facilities in Ukraine. It was admitted to in Congress by Victoria Newland. Look, Putin may not be the greatest guy in the world. But we have relationships with other shady actors (Saudi Arabia for one). So there’s no reason we couldn’t be on friendly terms with Russia. I’d rather have Russia on our side as opposed to Russia being cozy with China.

And there was another working group that is taking on Silicon Carbide semicon. And then there is our obvious existing strength as a fabless chip-design firms. And finally, Government is already investing in emerging tech like Photonics. Yeah, things could be better, but our start over the past 5-6 years alone has been phenomenal. Also, most strategic projects like ISRO rockets, Nuclear ICBMs and Nuclear Reactors that India makes use Indian-designed Microprocessors that are built within India at the SCL lab in Chandigarh.

[@Sonia_Godfray_Hindu]

There are two factors that need to be accounted for when assessing India’s ability to resist Chinese aggression. One is how India and China define their strategic goals and what they see as necessary to ensure their security. For instance, if India does not perceive its security to include locations that are beyond the Indian Ocean region and has stable borders with its neighbors, then that changes its calculations regarding its military necessities. The second factor pertains to the number of other security threats the two countries have. China and India both have multiple security threats that force limited resources to be divided and allocated to meet these challenges. This means that while China has clear advantages in certain areas, these are offset by its substantial geographic disadvantage vis-à-vis India. Jai hind 🇮🇳

We do not need to care for what happens after we die. Now you may think China did the same, then it is not the Chinese people but Jinping specifically and China being authoritarian means that the evil leaders do not get swapped out fast. But India is a democracy. Unless they fall to authoritarianism and dictatorship, like Russia or China, this probably would not happen soon. One thing I must note is to grow and maintain power, you need to share it and have good relations and diplomacy with the other players (much like among packs of animals in the jungle). So, power is just an illusion brought about by chest-thumping and absolute power does not exist. No country today (or at any time in the past) has enough land and resource and potential and safety to just exist in isolation whilst bullying everyone else for their own benefit; there are always tight threats.

Okay let me get this straight: the reason for Indian warships to be lightly armed despite their displacement is because of our goals Indian Navy is a defensive Navy and does not need to leave the country vicinity like usa or china to project power but instead protect its coastline and maritime security...also the 16 brahmos missile that these destroyers carry are...huge! And very capable and lethal So ya they are about 2 times that of tomahawk missiles used by American warships so yes you get the point...but soon it's gonna change the upcoming frigate class (nilgiri class frigates) are as armed as current largest destroyers in the Indian Navy and are literally having around the same displacement as current destroyers....so upcoming destroyers are gonna be huge too and will pack a huge puch...more like offensive role like arleigh Burke class like proper blue water navy projecting power far from home...and etc they are expected to have a displacement of 9000+ tons basically almost cruiser category now and will probably have a lot of armaments and vls ..now so you can see where this all is headed...we are peaceful country and have no first strike policy but It doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to project power to the enemy's backyard right?
