The unrestrained population growth will be an enormous burden instead of an asset. There are also deep politcal (e.g. the caste system) and religious issues (e.g. Hinduism supports the caste system and the unchecked population growth) that need to be tackled.

Until these problems are solved, India will remain just a potential.

Ya but so far when Russia sells these things to the arabs, they forget to show them how to use them, shoot most Iraqi tanks bought from Russia never had there controls transalated. Thats a good thing.lol.

China isnt doing to great at the moment. Laying off tens of millions of workers in state industries. The Communist's seem to be having some trouble, as its estimated only 20% of the population supports them. They will fall, and soon. Then and only then can china truly progress.


India will most likely lose a few cities in the next 50 years

Yeah, American avionics rule the skies, better radar and missle guidance systems mean the US jets kill their enemy before the enemy knows they're there. But if limited to visual range missle only, even the Iraqis would getting kills.

Long range missile strikes are only good against the slower moving bombers - that's what the Phoenix system designed for. Fighters are too nimble for that. Even the AWACS are just going to direct fightes to intercept incoming enemy fighters.

Another thing is AWACS will be neutralised as long range anti-radiation missiles are developed, rendering air-to-air fights to chaotic vision-based fights again.

No, we don't sell "Granit" and "Mosqit" to anyone. They are too good to sell them, they are for internal use only. Those missiles are classified.

If Russia hasn't completely fallen to pieces it will be some 3rd world dictatorship. I find it interesting as to how Russia's supposed resurection keeps getting postponed. It's not gonna happen. There isn't enough money in the world to save Russia.

They'll be just fine. If not, then they'll starve. Either way, India will be a powerhouse come about mid-century.

India's human capital comes here and to Europe.

And returns to India in good numbers too.

I guess in 1917 most of foreign politicans thought alike.
We'll recover, we always recover. And we don't need your money, we have everything we need. Just give us time.

Scary. Almost the death sentence. You are pretty tough on Russia, Che. Is it because she failed the Great Communist Experiment?
