It is well known that India is a poor country in South Asia, with a very backward economy and a very large population, although the official population is 300 million less than that of China. But in fact, according to the Indians themselves, their population is close to the Chinese population, because the government cannot count the number of untouchable beggars in remote villages and cities.

Since independence, almost no infrastructure has been built in India, and the vast majority of roads, railways, bridges, communications, and even urban homes are left over from the British colonial period. Most Indians actually live in a near-primitive state, and there is no modern civilization at all to talk about the minimum sanitary conditions, and even their holy water, the Ganges, is full of the corpses of Indians who are about to ascend to heaven and all kinds of sewage, garbage, and feces.

In terms of industry, there are almost no high-tech links needed by modern industry in India, oil and other minerals are not abundant underground, and the level of basic industries such as crude oil refining and steelmaking is quite low.

Their high-end industrial manufacturing is frighteningly low, and so far they can't even make black-and-white televisions, let alone the elaborate video cameras that China has.

India's weak industrial base and low-level research institutions are far behind their boasts in the research and development of military equipment. The Indian government has long announced that it wants to develop the Arjun main battle tank, and has repeatedly claimed that their tank has been successfully developed and put into production, but where is the Arjun tank, the only prototype is a fake turret welded with ordinary steel plates, mounted on a patchwork chassis, although the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany provided them with almost all the components such as the engine transmission system and artillery, but the assembled model tank could not drive far before the chain fell, and the engine smoked and stopped. transmission failure, etc.

And the same goes for their fighters. Netizens who have studied aircraft design or aerodynamics only need to take a look at the shape of their self-designed fighter jet and read its performance list to know that their aircraft is impossible to go to the sky, with a fixed air intake and a ridiculous tailless delta wing, no matter how much redundant fly-by-wire is unlikely to have any high maneuverability.

They don't even have a wind tunnel, the aerodynamic characteristics are not clear, how can telex software be written? It's like letting a blind man drive, not to mention the hardware electro-hydraulic drive device for the fly-by-wire control system in India. Looking at the performance table again, the thrust of the 7,200 kg engine has to reach a thrust-to-weight ratio of 0.92, and the total weight of the aircraft is only more than eight tons. May I ask how the full weight of the aircraft is only more than eight tons, how can it carry four tons of weapon loads, and don't their aircraft engines need to carry fuel without drinking oil?

Look at the new rifles made in India, which are not even comparable to those made by American family workshops in the last century, and they are piecing together parts from various countries. India is such a poor country, and its annual fiscal income is very limited, which is pitiful. But they spend a lot of money on the purchase of arms, don't they know that their little money can't even do the normal maintenance of high-end weapons such as aircraft carriers?

Back to their nuclear submarines, too, a muddle book. According to India's "India Today" magazine, the Indian Navy is secretly building its first ballistic missile nuclear submarine at the Visakhapatnam military port in the Bay of Bengal in the east. Could it be the one the fishermen are talking about? If so, it would be a big surprise to the world, including me. Why did they move so fast this time? According to the general schedule, the technicians should be designing the shell for the nuclear submarine, how could it be that it has already sailed into the Pacific Ocean. And exploded and sank, it's really weird!

I'm still skeptical of the news brought by the fishermen. But two small things remind me that it may be true: the first is India's high-profile protest against China's construction of a naval submarine base on Hainan Island more than six months ago. It seems that China's construction of bases on its own soil is more excessive and threatening than their India's construction of air bases in other countries.

Their high-profile protest is not justifying the direct military threat posed by their nuclear submarines to small neighboring countries. Or is it to divert someone's attention?

The second trivial thing is that almost all the aircraft carriers they bought from other countries were playing in the Indian Ocean in their "own" inland sea, but the day before yesterday they suddenly announced that they were going to enter the middle of the Pacific Ocean, what are they going to do? Not to salvage a sunken nuclear submarine, right?

If what the fishermen say is true, then it is the nuclear submarine that sank. And it's an Indian nuclear submarine, so I have a few questions to ask:

First. Where did India's advanced nuclear reactors come from, and how many more sets of nuclear reactors did India get that could be used in nuclear submarines? I am sure that India will not be able to build it on its own in such a short period of time, and it can only be that one of the five countries — the United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union, and China — has violated the international convention that does not allow the sale of nuclear reactors for submarines to other countries, and has sold India nuclear power that can be put into use immediately.

Obviously, of these five countries, China can definitely be ruled out, because India has always regarded China, which defeated itself, as a potential enemy, and every time they want to develop or deploy new weapons and equipment, they announce that they are under military threat from China, blaming China for holding its sword close to their throat. None of them believed it, but they always did it like scoundrels.

"India Today" linked India's development of nuclear submarines with China, saying that the rapid development of China's nuclear forces has prompted the Indian Navy to speed up the construction of ballistic missile nuclear submarines. Indian strategist Bachelani claims that India needs a credible nuclear deterrent because of its growing military asymmetry with China. The Indian government has announced that within 10 years, three high-tech nuclear submarines will take turns patrolling the world's oceans 24 hours a day to deter the world.

Not long ago, India's defense minister announced the construction of an "integrated space agency", and the Indian media once again attributed the establishment of the new space station to "the space threat from China". In a report titled "Now, Space Agency Keeps a Close Eye on China's Space Program," The Times of India said, "India will launch a program to establish its own integrated space agency, given China's growing threat to communications networks and other space assets." The agency, led by India's defense ministry, will serve as a dedicated window for coordination and cooperation between the Indian military, the Ministry of Space and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the report said.

In its report, the Indian Express linked the space agency, which was set up "against China," to the border dialogue reached between China and India, as a "balancing policy" toward China. India's defense minister also announced at a joint command meeting in his capital that "India wants to use space for peaceful purposes and maintain its commitment to the non-weaponization of space, but the threats that India faces are different, and we are facing China, a country that does not play by international rules, so we in India can only take our own actions when necessary." "It's almost an overt declaration of military power in space.

Although this is India's consistent big mouth and big words, we ordinary people don't need to be nervous, but they are not afraid that other countries will really do this?

Indian reports also say that military operations rely heavily on space capabilities such as satellite imagery, intelligence, communications and reconnaissance, and that many in the defense sector have expressed dissatisfaction with India's neglect of its important space military capabilities. The report also quoted an expert as saying, "If India uses space for military purposes, it may prevent war from happening, at least more accurately delivering firepower to the enemy to the maximum extent." The former commander of the Indian Air Force also said, "Since the First World War, the flight altitude of aircraft has been greatly improved, and space is just another height." We must occupy a higher height than China in order to ensure that they are better hit. ”

India is so hostile to China that it is naturally impossible to buy nuclear submarines from China. Excluding China, who are the remaining four countries? I think anyone in the four countries is possible, and the USSR is the most likely. Because most of India's naval equipment -- in fact, as well as army and air force equipment -- comes from that huge country in the north. But I also do not dare to exclude European countries and the United States.

My second question is why did the Indian government and military commit such low-level and severe mistakes and crimes?

Nuclear submarines are the most expensive and can be bought with money, not to mention that they are only worth two or three billion US dollars, and Indian high-ranking officials do not care about the lives of ordinary people, but they care about their own face, and they are definitely willing to buy them.

Besides, the combined value of the planes that crashes in Guam every year in the United States for training must add up to more than two billion dollars, and I have never seen a president or a secretary of state feel sorry for that, at least not for the president of the United States, who is still lying to his people that the United States needs more military spending.

However, although India's senior officials can not care about this money, and there is no need to use this money to build houses for the poor and invest in the construction of national infrastructure, these senior officials should know that the soldiers, those officers, and those experts in the nuclear submarine are all living lives.

Their lives cannot be bought by money, and behind them are their parents, children, lovers, who will always have pain in their hearts and in their lives. Why can't these high-ranking officials allow submarine officers and men to train in the Indian Ocean for a longer period of time, and can't they order them to go to China's doorstep to show off later? Is it good for the country or good for their face to be so ambitious?

The third question is whether it is time for India's research system to change. The main battle tanks ended in vain, the combat aircraft did nothing, and the nuclear submarine sank to the bottom of the sea....... Can they really become a world military power only by buying equipment from other countries?

The final question is, which senior officials are responsible? We'll see, including whether it's true or not.
