To whoever who said that the Government must cut down on defense expenses, let me remind you something.
Without money spent on defense, you would not be sitting in your cosy bedroom and posting your comments here. We suffer for your well-being. We do not spend money for nothing. Even if a war breaks out now, India can challenge every country in the map other than China.
You guys talk about money spent. How many of your parents pay their income taxes properly? Money spent on defense is money spent on everything. A secure nation will develop more than the one insecure. Let one - just one - PAF aircraft fly into India, the very evening, the stock market will crash.
So, please stop commenting on the defense of our country.
BTW, Gorshkhov is infact a very good investment for the future. And, there are ports large enough to house the Gorskhov. It just depends on which wing of the Navy, it is going to be commissioned into. It is just a bit larger than INS Vikrant.
