How important do you think the US is to India? Let us know down below!

[@SathyaswamyS]

We Indians love and worship the US.

[@Bangaliyana2024]

Ask the opposite, how important do you think India is to USA?

[@manumurthy4611]

USA need INDIA that's why they are dealing with INDIA and do you know what indian's are thinking we need to self reliable not under USA. and india's are thinking USA as a CUNNING FOX and INDIA is LION

[@saurabhade1079]

Hardly. Most of the defense deal are put on hold. Only non defense trade with hiccup are going on This happened because US meddled in India internal matter Even space joint project of NISAR satellite launch is pending for long time and still put on hold for this reason

I'm an Indian but I like the American diplomacy (hypocrisy) They always see their interest the partner doesn't matter at all. It's selfishness but reality 😂

[@hansolo1804]

Then I suggest that you make yourself a permanent interest and America will always be there for you 🙂

[@SriRam-ec3fd]

if we let them countrol our country in all aspect even after that they will only care about u.s i am not sying its wrong every country should put their own first it is sad but there is nothing called permanent interest if i tould you u.s and russia will be enemies buring ww2 will you belive me?@@hansolo1804

[@user-he9zt4hj9i]

Same as Russia. They also do these types of things. It doesn't matter. Need to make more indigenous military equipments.

[@QuickCS]

"India has secured contracts" sounds wrong, it's more like "US is trying to secure contracts from India". The language used, sounds condescending like you are saying "You are lucky that you are buying stuff from us, in return of $20 billion but still we are gora sahab and you shall be grateful"

[@Koba_78]

exactly. it's not as though their weapons are 'invincible' or some kind of 'wonder weapons' as can be seen in an ongoing conflict in eastern europe.

[@Aerrow62]

Secured contracts is the correct statement. It means they came to an agreement that was both commercially viable as well as politically supported. Its not condescending but simply an acknowledgement of the effort that goes into negotiating and legal paperwork through two of the densest bureaucracies in the world. It's used for private deals as well: "secured contract", "secured mining contract", etc.

[@QuickCS]

@@Aerrow62 While I agree with all the efforts that goes into negotiations, "India has secured contracts" is not the correct way to phrase it. Check any news on "secured a contract", its always the seller who secures the contract from a buyer. But the tone of the statement "India has secured contracts for us- made defense equipment" is condescending. Also the video has a general tone like "how great the us defense equipments are how India is lucky to get them." You are free to have your opinion, not trying to change your views, just posting my impression of the video.

[@Aerrow62]

@@QuickCS You are taking the wrong context. The contract in question is not simply a matter of purchase but that of joint production. In the context, it is accurate. India floated tenders to which OEMs made offers. However since HAL wants manufacturing technology, it's HAL that secures the contract to acquire technology. In case of Rafale fighters, French firm Rafale secures the contact with India in a competitive bid. This is generally not a national issue (in commercial sense) as it's usually between corporate entities. As for the quality, US defence equipment is high quality and that's exactly why the IAF wants them. They are high tech low maintenance and highly available. That's a fact. You are probably reading into things which doesn't exist.

[@QuickCS]

@@Aerrow62 I am not reading into anything that doesn't exist, you don't know me, so don't assume. The transfer of Technology for the engines is just one billion dollar deal, while the statement says India secures contract for us made defense equipment worth $20 billions. As for you saying IAF wanting US equipment, that's not been declared by IAF . IAF wants equipment that meets India's Requirement, period. The video is more like an ad for US equipment and India is shown as if, we are desperate at the doors of US to get their shiny all mighty equipment. Also,........ never mind, you are set in your mind to assume a particular point of view, and I don't care enough, to wanting to change it. Have a good day.

Next, you mentioned brahmos in the partnership between USA and India. There is no link between these 2 countries regarding brahmos.

Stinger do have air to air capabilities and so does Hellfire. This may not be commonly known but can be found in depth video and extensive technical specification brochure The admin may be saying it in context of India usage. But agree that this KZbin channel is shallow and as result kind of CNN clownish opiniated.

[@Koba_78]

Stinger can be used as air to air missiles when mounted on helicopters though.
