When you realise how shit our military parade is then you know why... all the crap hardware bought along with the so-called 'technology transfers'*... Sukhois have no foreseeable replacement, infantry still so weaksauce, armed helicopters also didn't have until recently...
The most infuriating part is that we're so close. Scorpene is an ok sub, Gowind delivers a lot of bang, A400M and Sukhoi also first class... but all the songlap and the USD CGPA means the whole army is just a halfhearted mess...
*Technology transfer is so that we can build the stuff domestically, saving money and generating jobs and revenue. E.g. Steyr rifle. But now you see everything we buy has got hundreds of millions paid as 'tech transfer' and I ask you what are we actually building ourselves? Not even 4x4 after all this time.

an outdated mouser can still kill you if it is given to the right hand.
more tech to weapon means higher chances of failure.
dont gobble up all you see at history channel about us military technology.
if you know a thing or 2 about the us, they will always say their worst ideas are the best. go and read regarding operation overlord on how they fail to provide sufficient support to landing troops and why only on omaha beach has the highest casualty.
f22 raptor plane is now being grounded for technical issues.
f35 planes are still in development and still is not in service.
but these are the ones they say they sacrifice the most and are the best planes in the world.
if u see it on tv then u must go and read the real history from all sides.
and about the we dont build anythign ourselves... go to pekan and have a look. boustead naval dockyard is also an excellent place to visit.
im sure ltz will agree with me on this.
