Create all the necessary infrastructure and the logistics chain. Hardware can always move in at short notice. What the islands need are excellent surveillance assets in the form of LRMP a/c, UAVs,Dorniers, gapless radar chain,locally based AN32, Mi17s(in larger numbers),naval and CG OPVs and development of all weather jetties and a full fledged 10000ft runway at Cambell Bay.By basing Su30s you are only going to up the ante with all our neighbours in the region. Maintaing a squadron of Su30s 700 miles from the mainland will bleed the AF dry which must maintain a supply chain and store the necessary armament locally. With their capability these versatile a/c can always be inducted from the mainland in less than 24 hrs.

U-212 is superior than u-214. these u class has greater depth in diving range , but india may select amur sub , because russian sub's may be modified to fix bhramos. Pakistan is trying to get U214 from germany in short period, i think india will take another 2-4 years for selecting itself .<br />India has highly shortage in long range bombers like Tu M3 backfire/ Tu160. Russa/Ukraine has the large numbers in inventory , india should try to get long range bomber , which is very important for longe range nuclear strikes / ship strike /striking Aircraft carrier's .

India need to create new three force base in Vietnam.
