New Delhi: Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Norman Anil Kumar Browne on Thursday dismissed a Pentagon report about Chinese missile threat to India, saying New Delhi has its own plans to counter such situations.
“These (threats) 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,” Browne told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
The Pentagon had in its reports suggested that the Chinese army has deployed nuclear-capable missiles along borders with India. China has already dismissed those reports.
He said though India did not have direct evidence, it still knew that China “got a fair amount of technology from outside” despite sanctions.
In India, “you start the research and development, and then wait and wait. Then you make it the test-tube model and it takes you 20-30 years,” he said. (IANS)
