india had some 50 years to develop itself, and look at it now, its industry is good and its military functioning, but the speed of development in her military is still quite slow when averaged out over the 50 years of its stability
i really do see the indian army's strength surpassing france's and even russia's military power, in the future it could happen if no major war occurs |
but india's industry cannot repair russian weaponry while most of the advance indian weapons are russian. i think it will take india about 10-15 years to be self sufficent in reparing its weapons. due to lack of education level in india, it is hard to have enough engineers for the army such as india's size. therefore the long lasting effect of the advance weaponry is very limited if against a country like china, because they would need a VERY large amount of weapons to repair.
and what about the 1962 war with china? india has stablity, but even china took over india's, so the stablity has little effect on india.
