Wait wait, werent you indians saying that Pakistan got all its Nuclear tech from China and north korea? Now the US says we gave the stuff to North Korea. So another one bites the dust with that. Now i cant wait for the US to say we gave NK some planes too....which we built. Just like the US says our nukes are home built so are our planes. But with you guys the stuff is built in Russia and you still crash it. God help you if you build your own planes :D
