I am a little surprised the tank Arjun is reported as "not tested enough". In fact, Arjun is the world's MOST TESTED main battle tank. The writer makes a lot of valid points. Fortunately, India has developed the BrahMos, though I am not certain the military has been supplied with it. Also the CPI(M), with instructions from China, has effectively blocked all cooperation with the US and Israel. But I think India has already inducted an old US warship into the navy and has inked the deal (under Vajpayee) that brings the Arrow missile shield of Israel to India. I hope the Chinese agents do not come to power again in 2009
