There are nations where LM is offering F35 against Rafales or Gripens or Super Hornets and even winning. But not in India, if they had any intention of doing it, they would have done it a few years back.
Anyone who thinks F35 will find its way to IAF is in fools paradise.
One thing I noticed is that small island nations with a miniscule population were sending teams for sports like beach volleyball etc in CWG. With a population this big in India we should have been there instead. Surely not a world beater team to defeat the Australians/NZ,Canadians or UK, but...

Some retired person says that he would like IAF to have something and everyone goes mad.
Meanwhile IAF is actually going to loose 8 squadrons till 2030 with just 4 squadrons actually on order and that doesn't seem a bigger problem to everyone?
Just a couple of months back the process started to build an universal launcher for Indian missiles/weapons. Due to this testing of both Astra MK2 and Astra MK3 from aircraft will be delayed significantly upto a minimum of 6 months. So I will say by next year March maybe we should see Astra MK2...
Navy has GSAT 7. All the assets are always linked together. So this Do228 has Navy's all missiles at its disposal.
A dedicated communication satellite can bring about huge transformation in operations.
BTW PNS Alamgir maintained radio silence even when Do228 buzzed it multiple times. Faulty...
A Pakistan Navy warship crossed the maritime boundary line off the coast of Gujarat and entered Indian waters but was detected and forced to retreat by an Indian Coast Guard Dornier maritime surveillance aircraft. The action took place on the high seas at the peak of the Monsoon season in the...
