    China, Russia to ‘veto any US move at UN to slap sanctions on Pakistan’

    How about changing the regime in Pakistan? Pakistan does not need UN sanctions. NATO sanctions should suffice.

    US to press India on F-16 and F-18 deal, to call for opening of its markets

    Does India has a choice? Gripen uses US engine. Why would US sell its engine for SAAB instead of selling it for its own F-16s? Also, F/A-18s are the only ones suitable for Indian carrier based fighters. Indian Navy does not like single engine fighters. So Gripen is ruled out like its own...

    Not more Rafales, IAF may choose Gripens or F-16s

    It is much easier for the US to replace the Swedish components from its fighters than Sweden to build a fighter based on a new EU engine. It is too risky for India to go for Gripens when they have the option to go with the US F-16s. Once India goes for the US F-16s, Brazil will follow suit...

    IAF not in favour of acquiring Russian 5th gen jets, keen on DRDO Make in India project instead

    Well you are actually supporting my point. Look at what Wiki says 40 MK1 Ordered and only 4 Delivered/Accepted In the meantime Indian Airforce orders 83 MK1As which don't even have prototype yet. It is very obvious for anyone looking at this dispassionately to conclude what is happening. It...

    IAF not in favour of acquiring Russian 5th gen jets, keen on DRDO Make in India project instead

    When MK1A are ready Indian Airforce would plan to place orders for upgraded MK2s just like they placed orders for MK1A when MK1 was ready. It is just a facing act and a ploy to buy more time until they complete procuring F-16s. This thread is about Indian Airforce not being interested in the...

    IAF not in favour of acquiring Russian 5th gen jets, keen on DRDO Make in India project instead

    The orders may have been placed due to the pressure from the Indian government (as a face saying act). This does not mean that the product is mature or acceptable to the Indian Airforce. Indian Airforce prefers quality products from the US or EU, not products lacking quality from Russia or...

    Not more Rafales, IAF may choose Gripens or F-16s

    US is not dependent on Sweden for any of its fighters but Sweden is dependent on US for its Gripen. Brazil has already rejected RAFALEs. What other alternatives are you alluding to other than the US fighters. Expect US F/A-18 to make a comeback in Brazil to replace Gripen...

    IAF not in favour of acquiring Russian 5th gen jets, keen on DRDO Make in India project instead

    Is there any significance in placing orders for a product that is not ready yet? Would Indian Airforce place such an order for fighters from a foreign vendor just based on some marketing material?

    IAF not in favour of acquiring Russian 5th gen jets, keen on DRDO Make in India project instead

    Is Indian Airforce happy with the current iteration? I believe they are not. I would agree with what your fellow members @punit and @jetray have said. This seems to be ploy to use move away from Russian fighters using AMCA as an excuse and go for some US or EU fighters instead. This is a very...

    Not more Rafales, IAF may choose Gripens or F-16s

    Would US deny US made subsystems that go into Gripen, if Sweden does not toe US' line? Does that not mean end of Gripen sales to Brazil and India which by default would now go to US instead.

    IAF not in favour of acquiring Russian 5th gen jets, keen on DRDO Make in India project instead

    Does India has capability to build a 5th Generation fighter? It is strange that Indian Airforce could not even induct "Indigenously Developed" 4th generation fighter but is putting its faith on a 5th generation project.
