It's a fine and simple aircraft. My point is that you guys claim to be a "superpower" yet do not even have the industry or capability to develop such simplistic aircraft let alone fund their development.

A superpower airforce that does not even have a decent air training program and had to import dozens of ancient swiss pc-7's to fill the basic trainer role. the millions that was spent on that purchase could have been used to fund a simple research and development project but i'm sure the IAF is...

A superpower yet they manage to lose a MiG or Sukhoi every couple of days to some faulty russian parts/shoddy manufacturing.

China is smart setting up facilities in Sri Lanka and Pakistan it adds a whole new possible war scenario from the projected land warfare to marginal littoral warfare.

He would but Pakistan plans to build an amusement park where Bin Laden died they plan on calling it Six Flagistan. (ok but seriously they are actually making one where he died which sparks some interest here what kind of rides where will there be pin the tail on the infidel. IED roller coaster...

Why not just buy them from the russians like you normally do

With a stagnated global economy arms purchases will decrease naturally as countries will lack the finances and will to arm/rearm because of the high focus on improving the financial situation. "They got money for the war, but can't feed the poor" seems to reflect every militarization of every...

Not surprising, the indians need Israeli or the French usually to come through on the avionics since they lack the ability to do so themselves but SAAB has quality ECM suites.

better have good ECM ability SAM's play a vital role nowadays in combat.

Already getting 25 billion+ for the PMF and how many years / cost overruns have taken place over that deteriorated Aircraft carrier and the MiG-29 upgrade are some of the others i can think of. Only now are we getting a cut of the Indian defense pie and for good reason because the Indians are...

Thats obvious not like India has the ability to design and produce 5th gen avionics for fighters.

Santa Clara CA in the 408 what do you know about me??? nothing now just because your country can't make a 3rd generation fighter jet let alone a intermediate not even a basic jet trainer doesn't mean you can go around accusing people of being the same person vent your frustration on those...

LCA took 30 years and its already a generation and a half behind modern fighters how long with AMCA take 50? stop wasting money on crap you can't build just buy it from Russia and wait the same amount of time it takes for you to develop it. Iran has a better chance of coming out with a fighter...

China's economy is always a topic of interest off topic we're clawing our way back to stability slowly but surely. As long as we and the western world have a demand for cheaply manufactured goods China will be strong unless that demand falls and if there is alternate and cheaper source.

Kashmir will burn for days because of this.

Either develop MIRV's or simply (and cheaper) make twice as many missiles as their defenses, remember an ABM's cost is thrice that of a ballistic missile

says the guy with General Sunderji as his avatar.

I agree with this theory the MiG-27 has a history of known engine related problems which is why the Russians retired them so quickly. Not to mention the Pakistanis getting all tickled pink on this thread seem to forget that they technically lost the war because as Musharaf stated himself the...

If your referring to me I suggest you stop tweeking and get on the methadone, while i agree that the Indian troops in Kashmir have a hard ordeal (sorry for going off topic) against foreign/some little domestic fighters reading reports of mass graves in a part of India where people "disappear"...

Hmm. That's interesting because I have read that Islamic civilizations were the first ones to cultivate hashish and back then it was given to women during childbirth to alleviate some of the pain.
