I agree, this drama of MRFA has gone for too long. Order all in one go, and tell the French to move the production line here. There is talk that, the new engine (120 KN, for AMCA mark2) France is proposing to manufacture with us can make it back to Rafale, in a plug in play mode.
Win win for both, add Barracuda design for our SSN requirement, and we get them in fully. Especially after their loss in Australia, they are even more eager now.
Our Govt is so short sighted
We lost three decades due to Bofors scam, which hampered our Artillery acquisition.These are prone to huge corruption by all these BJP ministers. That is why, they are not ordering in a bulk.
These are Naval variants, so these are china centric more than PAF.There's a looooong waiting list for Rafales. India is gonna be waiting quite a while to get their fighters. By then PAF may already have acquired more J-10C fighters or another advanced platform.
It's fantastic that Pakistan is able to get IMF sponsor it's military ambitions.There's a looooong waiting list for Rafales. India is gonna be waiting quite a while to get their fighters. By then PAF may already have acquired more J-10C fighters or another advanced platform.
Nice try, that almost hurt. In the end, it really doesn't change what I said.It's fantastic that Pakistan is able to get IMF sponsor it's military ambitions.
It Spends on it's defence budget without any consideration and then goes to IMF programs claiming it's run out of money year after the other. The strategy is quite brilliant.
Oh yeah, because the Indian navy would never try to blockade Pakistan in the event of a war, right? Nope, never.These are Naval variants, so these are china centric more than PAF.
Who is making money in the middle?This is the problem, instead of ordering 140 Rafales in one go they are dividing it into batches, so that it becomes more expensive and domestic production becomes difficult.
That comes down to poor planning and bureaucracy in India. Poor decision making on the part of IAF because the cash suddenly became available and they don’t know what to do with it while the bureaucracy doesn’t want to release it on time and hoard it.Yeah but these 26 are for Navy
Airforce's falling squadrons, won't get solved with this. Lca Mk1A production of 83 won't be completed, till 2027 or around. By then all the Migs and Mirages and other Russian crafts, will be retired. HAL plans to start Lca Mk2 production by then, which is kind of doubtful.
Effectively by 2030 we will have less than required squadrons of 42 or something, for two front war. Two or three squadrons of F35, is for tackling J20 of China and any possible acquirement of 5th gen by Pakistan in future.
F35 we can't acquire them in heavy numbers, even Japan and Israel are struggling to keep them running. Aircraft's availability rate isn't that great, given its tech heavy and not so rugged nature.
Further even USA is planning to keep F15 SE running for next two to three decades, as F35 can't do everything on its own. So 4.5 gen isn't going anywhere, and us getting G2G Rafale for 114 or 120 crafts will be the best to secure ourself.
I disagree with that viewpoint because India is actively investing in improving its tactical capabilities to conduct operations within the sovereign territory of Pakistan, utilizing a combination of covert, overt, and partially covert approaches. This strategy is aligned with Indian interests as the probability of full-fledged wars is significantly low. India has the ability to neutralize threats from Pakistan, similar to how the United States neutralized Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad.Who is making money in the middle?

At the end, while the “two front war” is a self fulfilling manifestation of right wing Indian propaganda - the rate at which the future conflict is moving back to good old ballistics and hypersonic “artillery” and air spaces are becoming increasingly hostile to aircraft - the Brahmos is and continues to remain the best investment for the buck for India instead of aircraft squadrons
And yet STill cant do jack shit - Only by making fake Hindu Bollywoods that shows a Hindu Indian singlehandedly prevented Pakistan from becoming a nuclear state - well the reality speaks otherwise - Does Indian hindus think from their arse or what ?India has the ability to neutralize threats from Pakistan,
Indians successfully divided Pakistan into two parts, with 93,000 Pakistani soldiers being humiliated and forced to surrender on their knees. Despite this historical event, you claim that Indians cannot take any action against Pakistan. Since 1947, whenever the boundaries changed in the subcontinent, India expanded its territory while Pakistan witnessed a reduction in its land area.And yet STill cant do jack shit - Only by making fake Hindu Bollywoods that shows a Hindu Indian singlehandedly prevented Pakistan from becoming a nuclear state - well the reality speaks otherwise - Does Indian hindus think from their arse or what ?
Technically the overt limited engagement suits Pakistan much more than India as was experienced in 2019. But the covert and partially covert approaches are bearing fruit.I disagree with that viewpoint because India is actively investing in improving its tactical capabilities to conduct operations within the sovereign territory of Pakistan, utilizing a combination of covert, overt, and partially covert approaches.

I did not See Bangladesh Becomg Part of India - so What Land Expansion are you talking about ?whenever the boundaries changed in the subcontinent, India expanded its territory while Pakistan witnessed a reduction in its land area.
It's classic robbing peter to pay paul though .... isn't it?Nice try, that almost hurt. In the end, it really doesn't change what I said.

The notion might be there is enough money to go around, for foreign procurements and local developments from the more ambitious side of political and military leadership.Who is making money in the middle?
