Yes the contract to buy 126 Rafale was done away with becoz of budget constraints and replaced by batch purchasing with upgrades
IAF took 16 years to Induct 272 Su30MKI between 2004-2020 , with orders being placed in four batches ie 50+140+40+42
however the main mistake in this was that all the...
Only a fool will consider J10CE to be better than Rafales
why is Indonesia buying 42 Rafales from france and not J10CE like PAF
Why did UAE order 80 Rafales
Why did Qatar buy 36 Rafales
Why did Egypt buy 24 Ralales
Why did Greece buy 18 Rafales
Why is Saudi Arabia negotiating for buying 54...
Its a highly reliable aircraft based on the commercial 737 airframe
Indian Navy has flown its 12 P8I for over 50000 hrs without any mishap
so pilot error has to be blamed
Just imagine If their ever comes a day when Pappu is PM of India and Billo is PM of Pakistan, and they both sit down together and discuss Indo-Pak Politics
This could be the reality in 2024,
So voters must vote with their eyes open
MRFA program is dead
acquisition of additional 97 Tejas MK1A means that Airforce has given up on MRFA program
India might still order additional 36-44 Rafale F4s just to ensure that IAF has enough MMRCA category fighters so as to form Battle Formation / Air Combat Doctrines around them...
it was HMS Victorious carrying 2 trident MIRV nuclear missiles with 8 nukes each
I am not sure about the above pic but damm
these subs look like rust buckets
they resemble some of the 40 yr old subs operated by china
Its a LIFT platform and a good one at that.
Probably in the class of South Korean T-50
It can be modified / upgraded to carry weapons and can perform Light attach/ anti armor/ close air support roles. like the korean F50 version
However since PAF already has JF17s , i dont see them modifying...
I agree with most of this
but I dont see 120 AMCA in service by 2035 , given the production burden on HAL for Tejas.
maybe we will have 40 units of AMCA MK1 that too if all timelines are met.
Also MRFA is dead.
the additional order for 97 Tejas MK1A means that IAF does not see the government...
It will take 10 yrs for HAL to complete the domestic orders
HAL has only handed over 32 Units of Tejas MK1 and 4 Tejas Twin seater Trainers to IAF till date, with remaining 4 Trainers will be delivered in December and January.
HAL will begin Delivery of 10 Tejas Trainers and 73 units of...
I am an Indian
and Cruella Braverman used to act like she is part of the erstwhile British Raj as far as her views on immigrants were concerned
She should have looked in the mirror, before making all these statements.
I say good riddance to the old witch
Yesterday's match was an absolute snooze fest.
This kind of one sided encounters have taken the charm out of watching the world cup
India vs NZ
PAK vs SA
NED VS SA
were probably the only GOOD matches we got
rest were all one sided affairs
You will not be fighting the Rafales ,
dont worry
In any frontline confrontation, you will have to first faceoff against the 260 Su30MKIs , 60 Mig29Upg AND 50 Mirage 2000v5
India has replaced Mig21 Bison with Mig29Upg and Su30MKI across all forward basis
These jets have been equipped with...
India has 450 Meteors in its inventory
I am sure we can afford to fire a few if and when the situation demands
also with 590 Billion USD forex reserves, we can easily afford to buy another 1000 of them.
Its just that The airforce is being asked to buy Indian Weapons if they meet minimum...
Location matters as does political stability and economic freedom
Malaysia while being rich in natural resources is also located in an area which in itself is peaceful and economically prosperous.
Pakistan is located next to Afghanistan
Malaysia is not dependent on middle eastern oil
It...
Just hope they don't announce the iPhone 16 during their March event
I bought the iPhone 15 on 20th October replacing my 3 yr old iPhone 12
I tried the 15pro
but couldn't really justify spending extra 220 usd on a 120 hertz display and A17 chipset, and I have never been a fan of the Triple...
I have access to youtube
Just search China Observer or China Uncensored on Youtube using VPN
You will see amazing videos on the quality of Chinese Infrastructure
The No 4 Sqd Oorials have converted to Su30Mki
This was the 13th Su30MKI sqd raised by IAF,
The reason No 4 sqd was not number plated was because of its history.
Even the remaining 2 Mig21 Squadrons will not be number plated but instead will receive the up coming Tejas MK1A
With 170 Tejas...
It was stupid of Hamas to Launch the terror attach without thinking about consequences.
Israel will turn Gaza and west bank into rubble , more than 100000 Palestinian could die all because of the wrong doings of Hamas
Not to mention if Iran or Syria enters the war, whole middle east could get...
