[quote=ZOEY,249756]There have also been media reports that some air and sea assets of India's Strategic Nuclear Forces Command would be placed in the region. But veteran Indian nuclear affairs analyst, K Subramanyam, says: "Nobody will place their strategic assets in a remote place like the Andamans as they would become an easy target." With so much military and strategic significance, it is not surprising that Indian officials are wary of foreign aid agencies in the Andamans. Suba Chandran, a defence analyst at the Delhi-based Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies, says: "It is a Cold War mentality. India is sensitive about its military installations in the Andamans." Other than damage to the Car Nicobar air base, it is unclear whether the navy or air force suffered major tsunami losses here. However, nature's fury could force Indian military planners to rethink future expansion plans in the islands. [/quote]
