India's dependence on US for its own defense would be suicidal for our country. I hope our govt and policy makers ensure that this does not happen.

India is very much in contact with Russia and defence purchases from Russia are not going Down as compared to past. Since India's defence budget is constantly going up, currently 100 Billion USD, so fresh increases are going to Israel.
Yes Israel has becomes India's largest armament supplier but that in no way reduces our purchases from Russia. They are on course.
If Barak missile is from Israel than Brahmos is from Russia.
Problem is Pakistan testing BABAR missile ( haerdly few weeks back and Babar is better than Bramos !! (in all aspects and has a range 200 miles higher than Bramos) Now question arises what and when next from India.

North Korea is one of the best example which insisted too much on defense and diplomacy.. and now its in ruins.. what matters most is the living standards of the citizens.. all these extremists are very lousy hypocrites.. plz stop being hurdles in the way of progress.. a nuclear bomb cannot feed you.
