| #4 Question: Do the former commies still have a navy of their own? Yes, but a shadow of its self (which, in hindsight, really was quantity over quality). |

| #3 Israel just sold a very expensive submarine training simulation to India. Israel is also training the Indian navy in the use of the submarine simulation. Not to mention a air to air exercise with Israel with the presence of AWACS, in early 2005. AWACS was not invloved in the recent air to air exercise with the U.S. The U.S was very impressed with the Indian AF. The Paki's will soon be like a cornered cobra with no fangs or venom. Best-effort just will not do. |

| #2 The Indian Navy has a long history of purchasing or renting subs from the former Soviets. There have been good deals...and also bad deals. At one time, the Indian Navy had four Foxtrot class subs. Their material condition was so poor that operation of the subs below periscope depth was restricted. |

| #1 The Russians are making out both ways on the India/China deal. Question: Do the former commies still have a navy of their own? |
