#2 Also, with the US Navy/Marine Corps being the only large scale users of LPHs and LPDs, where else were the Indians going to buy a ship like the USS Trenton? At least if the Indians buy the older class of LPH/LPD from the US, they can be certain of getting more than one of the class at a time if they so wish. And the ship(s) will have already passed sea trials and the shakedown cruise.

#3 "the purchase of C-130 J Hercules transport planes."

Yeah, I mean why the heck didn't India buy lots of those great A400Ms from Airbus?????

Well sure they're delayed but only till 2011, errr 2014, what's that? oh at least 2016? Whatever, so what if they're overweight and under functional you're just nit picking!!!

(See EU referendum about the A400M, it's a hoot)
