After hearing Anthony say this, everyone realized that this matter is not something that the Indian side can control. We have been arguing for a long time, but in the end we have to act according to the US side's expression. Bubble-shu_bar.8.) "Okay, I agree to purchase 23 F35 squadrons on the basis of trying to reduce the purchase volume of F16. If possible, we'd better purchase in a 1:1 way, and at most it cannot exceed 1:2."

After a nearly quarrel with Verma, Singer still considered the needs of the Air Force. The Air Force really needed the F35 to compete for air supremacy, otherwise his army would become a target for his opponents if it lost air supremacy. At this point, Singer would not be stubborn and hurt everyone because of mountain doctrine.

"However, I hope that the Apache, which also purchased two squadrons, will strengthen the army's ability to deal with the opponent's re-equipped group, especially since they have newly equipped 150 Chinese 99A2 main battle tanks. If we equipped two squadrons Apache, we can completely offset this part of the opponent's new combat power."

"But General Singh," Anthony couldn't help but say with a bitter face when he heard Singh's opinion, "If we follow this plan, we may not have so much military expenditure to pay."

Anthony is generally clear about the price of F35 and F16. Even if it is sold at the lowest price, the F35 of two squadrons and the F16 of two squadrons will not be able to win it without more than $7 billion. The Apache of two squadrons will cost at least $2 billion according to the purchase price a few years ago. In this way, this order is easy to sell nearly $10 billion.

In 2018, the total military budget of the Indian army was less than 60 billion US dollars. This time, more than one-fifth of it will be removed. Other places will spend money or not. Not to mention, the navy's aircraft carrier formation is still lacking a lot of equipment. A squadron's MiG 29K carrier-based aircraft has just been equipped, but modern destroyers with strong anti-submarine air defense are still lacking. Bamboo-shu_bar.8.)

The aircraft carrier formation lacking protection from the destroyer is equivalent to turning the aircraft carrier into a target for its opponent. Fortunately, there are no strong opponents in the Indian Ocean, and there is still no big problem with relying on the current poor aircraft carrier formation to deal with the weaker Pakistani navy. But in the future, I heard that the two major aircraft carrier fleets of the Chinese Navy have been integrated. Faced with the strong strength of the Chinese Navy, if something happens, how can we deal with the Chinese Navy's aggressive offensive in the Indian Ocean?

No matter what, the San military came up with a specific plan for this discussion meeting. There was no way, the timing didn't wait for anyone. Now, the one who bought the F35 under the excuse of combating terrorism was already a blessing in the sky. At this moment, the San and the San never dreamed that they had become the whetstones that Uncle Sam was preparing to test the quality of Chinese military equipment.

So after obtaining the domestic negotiation instructions, Siram went through difficult tug-of-warrantly agreed to purchase fighter jets according to the F35A of two squadrons and the F16CD of four squadrons. In addition, a squadron's Apache armed helicopters were added to a total of US$10 billion in military purchase orders.

In terms of price, the US side has not made any big statement. With the F35A plus related supporting parts and training services, each aircraft is priced at US$150 million for the Indian side, which is definitely a fair price. As for the second-hand refurbished machine F16CD, the US side "generously" offered a low price of US$4,500, and can withdraw spots. Anyway, the US military has begun to gradually eliminate it. There is no need to make any preparations for more than 50 second-hand F16CDs. It only needs to ensure that these second-hand products are received by the Indian side.

For the Indian side, this should be a good thing. It can join the Air Force faster to form combat effectiveness. In contrast, the F35A of the two squadrons will be delivered in two years, which is quite suspicious that the far-reaching water cannot quench the near thirst.

The list of terrorist organizations that have been listed as an internationally recognized by the Kashmir Muslim Liberation Front and obtained new equipment from the US military. Although it has not been successfully equipped, the San San believed that he had received strong support from the US through this series of political, diplomatic and military procurement. In this case, the San military, who originally planned to calm the people in Kashmir, changed this time. They wanted to get more in this matter and take this opportunity to completely attack these separatist forces in Kashmir, not just the Kashmir Muslim Liberation Front.

In this case, India has listed a list of Kashmir separatist forces, which are listed as terrorist organizations that India needs to deal with. Some of these separatist forces will be headquartered in Kashmir under Pakistan's control. Therefore, India has strongly demanded that Pakistan ban and combat these organizations.

Faced with such requests that Pakistan believes are extremely unreasonable, Pakistan flatly refused. Although Pakistan noticed that India and the United States had an unprecedented close relationship and even reached a large order of military equipment, Pakistan did not analyze the situation in depth and determine the real purpose behind the incident. Therefore, interpreting this incident as the beginning of another arms race between India was a counterattack against Pakistan's acquisition of two advanced weapons last year.

The fundamental error of this judgment has led to Pakistan being somewhat inadequate for India's sudden change.

Therefore, India began to take decisive measures against Pakistan's inaction and adopt cross-border strikes. Although Pakistan responded strongly, this time the Americans who were interested in it pretended not to see it on the surface, expressed acquiescent approval of India's actions, and in private, they stepped up the delivery of military orders to India that had just signed shortly, using actions to support India's cross-border strikes, and quickly delivered a squadron of Apache armed helicopters to India through air transportation, further strengthening the anti-armored forces in Kashmir.

The F16CD purchased by India is said to arrive in India by sea within one month.

Seeing the US support so strongly, Indian bosses who thought they had hugged Uncle Sam's thigh were overjoyed. The military seized this rare opportunity and began to unscrupulously clean up the local anti-Indian armed forces in the Kashmir region. During the cross-border attack, there were more and more armed frictions and conflicts with Pakistan's border guard checkpoints.

Finally, a serious firefight occurred near the border line of the Nilam Valley in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. The elite Indian squad that crossed the border to attack separatist armed forces dispatched the latest Apache armed helicopters. Faced with the fire and intercepted by the soldiers of the Pakistani sentry, a fierce battle occurred between the two sides. With the advantageous firepower equipment, the Indian side killed and injured more than a dozen Pakistani soldiers, as well as dozens of Muslim militants who were chased to hide here.

The Pakistani JF17 thunder and lightning fighter plane that was dispatched urgently did not catch up with Indian Apache, and crossed the border and dropped a checkpoint in India as revenge.

The situation in India and Pakistan suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse and began to step on the brink of war.
