As per my info, an oleo strut came off on the takeoff roll and the place crashed before take off. Had nothing to do with airframe failure. It was the fault of poor technical engineering work.

I think the reluctance for additional SU-30s is mainly due to costs. From what I’ve read, the SU-30 (and similar fighters like the F-15 and F-14) have massive running costs. IAF most probably wants to rationalise costs rather than have huge numbers of fuel hungry, maintenance intensive hulking jets.

MBDA clearly wrote a letter to IAF that they will not provide Meteors for Tejas if and MBDA radar is not chosen for the jet. So I doubt they will allow it here. Plus ASRAAM is a visual range missile that I think relies on internal sensors/IR for lock on. Meteor needs radar support. That will...

Yes all of this can happen, but considering the marvellous pace of development and production already shown HAL, I highly doubt if they will be able to pull it off. India was able to live with it because Tejas is their domestic project, but why would a foreign buyer give anyone that much leeway...

New avionics means new testing and that means like longgggg delays. That also certainly means that the current jet with Israeli content can’t be accepted. All countries want their air shows to be filled with planes. Doesn’t guarantee an order.

Hahaha! Malaysia doesn’t recognise Israel, and since Tejas has an Israeli avionics suite, Malaysia can’t consider it for procurement. Indians have no shame in spreading false news!

Marut was a dry run for Tejas. Tejas was a dry run for AMCA. What guarantee is there to say that the AMCA will not be a dry run for a yet more advanced dream? In the meanwhile, the IAF will still be flying the MIG-21 in 2050.

Hahaha! Good one! To be fair, the IAF is equally at fault for the delay in the Tejas project. Every project gets delayed if the requirements are changed, and the IAF has been in a class of its own for changing the Tejas specification so many times. It was almost as if it was done intentionally...

Of course it is, considering your limited capabilities of comprehension.

Wow.. What a big difference!

Hahaha. Appointing a serving airforce Chief to run an airline. What a joke!

Dear Friend, As much as I admire the army, saying that Politicians have no interest or say in defence projects, and planning for this is done by military implies that civilians have no control over the army. Is that a reasonable thing? Is the army from another country? Bhutto was a civilian and...

Who was governing Pakistan in the 1990’s? It was Benazir and Nawaz Sharif. They were the ones who set money aside for these projects. Why wasn’t anything done in Musharraf’s time? Why nothing happened other than importing Split ACs and BMWs? Why was it that all development took place during...

The currency value is not an indicator of financial strength. For reference, do you know that Japanese Yen has had an exchange rate of 100 yen to 1 USD for so many years? Even when PKR was 60 to 1 USD, Yen had a lower exchange rate. Does that mean Pakistan was richer or more powerful than Japan...

Hahaha. As much as how I support and love the JF-17 program, I can’t help but reject your argument. This is one of the dumb arguments that is floated around by people who have no understanding of economics. The USD-PKR exchange rate is not something that represents a “price”, but it’s a relative...

Looks like you're infected with mad cow disease like the national liar.

Who is your leader? The donkey who was crying dhandli?

Wow. You shamelessly ignore facts and then blame it on me. What was the verdict of the Panama case? It was a widely ridiculed judgement against an Iqama that does not hold against any definition of law. I don't blame you as well. I know fan boys like just want to see their man crush as the PM...

You can do Pakistan a favor and start with the mountain of manure called PTI. Were you born yesterday? Don't you have any idea of Pakistani politics?? Imran Khan started his party in 1996 but failed to win even his own seat! The first seat he won was in the 2002 election and everyone in...

And this is coming from a guy who is so blind that he can't bring himself to question his own leader's filth.
