Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 India plans to deploy its own missile defense shield: India's Defense Minister– did the communists influence to move India away from America? Sudhir Chadda Jul. 6, 2005 India is capable of designing and deploying missile defense shields. But the ten-year defense cooperation deal with US gave an impression that India was ready to participate in the American global strategic missile shield initiative. However, the communists – Left Parties have called for a nationwide uprising against India's apparent inclination towards America. After sharp disagreement between congress led UPA Government and the Left Parties, India's Defense Minister has changed the tune as it related to defense issues especially the missile defense shields. India will develop its own missile defense shield to counter enemy ballistic missiles and aircraft, without outside help including that of the United States, said India's Defense Minister Pranab Mukherjee on July 5. However, Mukherjee added that India would accept technology offered by the United States for its missile shield. http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/3460.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
