I agree with you that the US don't like to transfer technology, and the best example in recent years will the the US denying several key techs to U.K. regarding the F-35 despite the fact that the U.K. is one of it's oldest allies and is a partner of the JSF "joint venture". But then no country...

Both need some helis so they can effectively counter threats without having to rely on the other. This helps them to respond and act faster.

Don't forget, they even offered us the F-35 as replacements if F-16 is selected in the MRCA.

In that case, I think you forgot that Russia used to sell more arms to China than to India. The Chinese bought the Su-30MKK from the Russians, but that didn't stop the IAF from acquiring the Su-30MKI did it?

There is no way that US will replace Russia as India’s biggest arms supplier, especially with things like the Brahmos and PAKFA/FGFA. I think Russia will continue to be India's primary arms supplier in the future as Russia is known to provide military equipment with no strings attached and has...

It also helps the army and navy to react faster to threats instead of waiting for air-support from the IAF.

Indian Navy Formally Floats AUV Requirement, Wants A Fully Indian Machine In a long and commendable tradition of supporting indigenous design and development, the Indian Navy has invited interest from Indian industry -- both state owned and private -- to meet a requirement for at least...

Sorry, didn't see that thread. I'll post there from now on.

Here's something I originally posted in another thread: Six New-Generation Submarines for Indian Navy Worth Over Rs 50,000 crore If you thought the Rs 42,000 crore project to procure 126 multi-role fighters for the IAF was the "mother of all defence deals", think again. The stage is now...

ISRO to launch more satellites this year After successfully placing five satellites in orbit on Monday, India's space agency ISRO said it will launch more satellites this year and efforts were on to put two Indians in space orbit. "We will launch GSat-5, a communication satellite, using...

Six New-Generation Submarines for Indian Navy Worth Over Rs 50,000 crore If you thought the Rs 42,000 crore project to procure 126 multi-role fighters for the IAF was the "mother of all defence deals", think again. The stage is now being set for an even bigger project—this one worth over Rs...

sorry man, I have no idea.

India canvasses global suppliers for stealthy UCAV The Indian armed forces' wide-ranging pursuit of many of the world's most sophisticated combat aircraft has expanded to the global market for stealthy, unmanned combat air vehicles. The Indian air force has submitted a request for...

My thoughts exactly!

I agree with you about LCA and Su-30MKI, but I feel the MMRCA winner will be used mainly for strike missions escorted by Su-30MKI and supported by tankers and AWACS. For the same reason, I feel the MMRCA tender will go to a fighter which has excellent strike capabilities (remember, the Jaguars...

The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow") was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. The Messerschmitt Me 262 was clearly the best fighter plane of World War II, bristling with firepower and capable of flying 120 miles per hour faster than America's outstanding P-51...

The German Me-262 was a generation ahead of anything the allied forces could field. It was the first aircraft in the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft and one of the first aircraft to use swept-wings - both of which are technologies that are an important part of fighter...
