Not worried over Chinese moves: Air Chief

New Delhi, Sep 1 (PTI) In the backdrop of US official
reports suggesting that China was deploying nuclear-capable
missiles along the borders with India, the Indian Air Force on
Thursday said it was not "worried" over these developments and
has its own plans to deal with the issue.
"These are all known, it is nothing that we are worried
about. We have our own plans and we are moving ahead with our
own plans. These are the realities we have to deal with," Air
Chief Marshal N A K Browne told reporters on the sidelines of
an event in India's capital.
He was responding to a query on the US Pentagon reports
suggesting that the Chinese People's Liberation Army has
deployed nuclear missiles along the borders.
However, the Pentagon reports have been dismissed by the
Chinese government also.
Asked that what could India learn from China in
developing its indigenous aerospace industry, the IAF chief
said, "One thing that one could learn from them is that they
don't attempt to do everything themselves."
"Once you start the Research and Development and then
wait and wait, then you make it the test-tube model, it takes
you 20-30 years (to finalise the project)," he said.
Browne said that though India doesn't have direct
evidence, but "we still do know that despite all the sanctions
and all other things, they (China) got a fair amount of
technology from outside."
