David Cameron: UK and India can have 'great partnership'

Didn't Cameron embark on a similar stunt to India 2 years ago? And yet our trade links between our two countries have barely improved

More importantly have they bought the typhoons?

The Guardian readers will knock it. But you know they're your friends when they buy your planes...plus it does secure British Jobs which isn't a bad thing.

Yep, I mean they're defence budget is increasing, Hopefully it will mean they will buy more of our equipment, But I can't see that as India is currently developing two stealth planes...(One with Russia, Other on its own)

PAK-FA and MRSA are two project tenders for the IAF.

Bit off topic, But have they made prototypes yet?Sent from my HTC One X

There are 4 fully operational pak-fas already. India+Russia would manufacture the export version. Both export and russian versions were designed exclusively by Sukhoi with a financial contribution from India.

Wonder who they will export it to and how stealthy it is, How it stacks up against F-35 and the F-22.

Perhaps Mr Cameron should try forging a (trusted) partnership with the British People first before he starts blowing smoke towards India.

Firstly he has.

secondly we need trade to boost the economy so people like yourself can carry on fleecing the taxpayer with your benefits fetish

Its significantly cheaper than those two options. The Indians are unlikely to be in a day one scenario against a major power without western support. It has to go against Pakistan. Stealth is so highly overrated .

No he hasn't Just look at the London riots a few years back.

This summer is going to be a lot worse with the new poll tax.

I'm thinking that it is too, Although they did get beat, That general managed to take that F-117 down pretty easily.

Yes I do believe there is an arms race in the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan needs to upgrade its J-17's or get hold of China's new stealth fighter...And get a missile defence system.
