stupid and funny will be


but you must admit it

we have seen modern day propaganda and manipulation of Indians so we can say they are doing it since 1947 in every war . no matter how badly you beat them they find a way to declare victory .

And Kargil war is no less of an example of that, states Praveen Swami; Pakistan still occupies key Drass point.

i think this is serious threat and we should negotiate with china for production of chinese j31 and flankers like j16 ,j11 in Pakistan like we manufactured jf17

With our economy in shatters, how do you propose we do that?

There is NO way to compete with IAF or India conventionally unless we stay on top in terms of quality and technology. And therein again lies the problem, where do we get the finances to do that?

PAF choose right path jf-17 have released burden from economy . we can not buy hundreds of new fighters . but we made them .and project azm will be next .

If the IAF does purchase F16s with AMRAAMs, will the pilots who fly them still wear these patches?

It's really a shame that the IAF is considering replacing their Mig21s with an inferior aircraft

IAF pilots test F-21 simulator

NEW DELHI: Indian Air Force fighter pilots, including one of India’s first female pilots in this stream, examined and tested a cockpit simulator of the F-21 fighter aircraft of American aerospace giant, Lockheed Martin, here on Tuesday.

Lockheed Martin has been pitching its F-21 aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) requirement of 114 jets. It is among other top contenders in this field vying for the project. The others are Boeing's F/A-18, Dassault Aviation's Rafale, the Eurofighter Typhoon, Russian aircraft MiG 35 and Saab's Gripen.

Flight Lieutenant Avani Chaturvedi was among some of the IAF fighter pilots who examined the F-21’s Cockpit Demonstration Simulator (CDS). Some of the pilots told ET that they ‘assessed’ the CDS and ‘it was good’, while others felt that they had a ‘mediocre’ experience with it. Questions were sent to the IAF on the matter, but it didn’t officially respond.

“Lockheed Martin sent the invite to the Air Headquarters and some of us pilots were sent here. Coming here to examine the CDS was an exhibition of sorts. It was to build awareness about the aircraft. We assessed the CDS and it was good,” said a pilot, on condition of anonymity.

“The CDS gave us a feel of the F-21. Taking off and landing the aircraft was just one part of the flying. This was just to see how the aircraft is and how it functions. Following this, there will be many more assessments. Emerging technologies are always welcome,” said another pilot.

Another pilot, however, said that his experience of the CDS was ‘ok’. “We have the same technology, as far as simulators are concerned. What they have is old,” he said.

The CDS was being examined on the sidelines of the third annual industry supplier conference hosted here by Lockheed Martin and Tata Advanced Systems. Lockheed Martin, Tata, Tier 1 suppliers and prospective Indian industry partners gathered at the event to discuss partnership opportunities for strengthening India-US defence industrial ties and Make in India partnerships.

“Lockheed Martin is fully committed to meeting India’s need for advanced, scalable defence capabilities,” said Dr. Vivek Lall, Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. “Our partnership with Indian industry on both the F-21 and S-76D proposals for the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy will put India at the epicenter of the world's largest defence ecosystem and deliver unmatched sustainment and export opportunities.”

When asked how well would the Brahmos missile and other required weapons be fitted into the F-21 for cross-border strikes, Lall said, “We have a long history of weapons integration. I think this platform has over 130 different types of configuration. Its most versatile with new weapons integration. What kind of weapons capability will depend on the customer.”

Lockheed Martin during the Aero India show in Bengaluru in February 2019 had unveiled the F-21 multi-role fighter jet for the Indian armed forces, to be produced locally.

Where are the Indians now who were telling me the chances of F-21 winning the 114 jet bid is null.

Called it day one. IAF is going for F-21, they are going to bend the knee. And not because Russian jets are impotent... They are not, that is simply what IAF has led the masses to believe.

You wait and see how IAF now will run even this jet down to the ground, there is a reason why Lockheed Martin is selling it as F-21 and not F-16V+ or something. They don't want to jeopardize the F-16 reputation.

And believe me, even this marvelous jet won't fair well under IAF. IAF is rigged with incompetence and corruption.

But you guys are already destroying PAF and bombing Pakistan so easily with your current aircraft. Why do you even need to buy more advanced missiles and jets if you're already beating us at everything?

LOL

Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. Their actions telling the truth...and we know what words coming out of their mouth.

f-21 ka manjan bhi khoob hai its f-16 block-70+

F-21 is F-16 block 70 fine but what it does for IAF is it opens up F-16 Sufa of Usrali air force to be transferred to add more capability. The Indian would be replacing 200 aircraft with 200 aircraft unlike PAF which has chosen to replace 300 aircraft with 200-220 aircraft of superior quality and capability.

If the Indians are going to sign this deal then they will not just have numerical superiority but also increase their capability many folds.

i think this is serious threat

It really isn't, successive blocks of the JF-17 as well as 5th gen aircraft shall counter it.
