http://idrw.org/why-iaf-chief-wants-gripen-over-american-f-16-and-f-18/


Looks like Raha prefers the Swedish option over the F16/70

What ever decision is made india will induct LCA & ONE MORE SINGLE ENGINED fighter between 2019-2027

123 Tejas MK1/1A

And

120 F16 OR GRIPEN.

 

[Storm Force]

For those who ASK why is IAF looking at second single engine fighter over Tejas there are 3 reasons

1. India is looking at make in india of modern technoilogy this production line will allow absorbtion of nmew manufacturing technology
2. India needs 250 new fighters asap I like today BUY having two new fighters from 2 sources ie india & USA/SWEDEN they will get to 250 quivker
3. HAL can not deliver 250 lca tejas in 8-10 years

So bharti airforce is climing down from 2 engine to 1 engine policy, following PAF footsteps... as usual!

What's wrong with Mig?

 

[Tipu7]

IAF comprised of 37 combat squadrons which reduced to 35 now 33. Next year IAF will shrink to 31 squadrons.
3 Rafale squadrons will be fresh air blow but still I am pretty sure LCA case will remain a case of Future Tense and other MMRCA of single engine air craft (Be it F16 or Gripen) will keep facing delays just like we saw in case of 126 Rafales.

God bless IAF policy makers .........

Scrape LCA and buy more Rafales & Gripen.

There's going to be a political element to this, so dont count out F16s.

Why not just increase the numbers of Rafale or Su30MKI

Single engine for surgical strikes and Twin for China.
Mig is cheap compare to our Kitty.

Handling over 4-5 different kinds of Aircraft will be a Disaster .. and costly too

Add 1 more reason, squeeze out Pakistan from potential deals in the future.

It's pretty smart.

Surgical strike is the wet dream, modi is selling to a hateful nation.
Bharti airforce didn't had balls to fly in Kargil.... which was an active war, and yet you believe in this idiocracy!

 

[Storm Force]

PAF handle today

F16
Mirage 5/7
F7
JF17 thunder

WAS THIS A DISASTER

What Rafale! when did India recieved Rafale?

 

[Storm Force]

IF and I AM NOT certain that it will happen then by 2027

IAF will end up having

36 Rafales & 50 mirage2000/5 from france
270 SU30MKI & 60 mig29smt from Russia
123 Tejas/lca from india
120 gripen or f16/70

AND WHO KNOWS if FGFA comes as well

ITS WAY TOO MANY COMBAT TYPES

They should order the Rafale F3 & stick to LCA

You are in a dilemma . That is where you stuck.
Reason (!)
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his defence minister Khawaja Asif looked equally silly and shell-shocked. That is why they baulked and released chaotic and contradictory statements; Nawaz proclaiming naked aggression by India, till obviously told to shut up by the military and ISI, who denied that anything happened. And later, Asif, who was shouting from the rooftops about how India will be destroyed through nuclear strikes, till he too was cautioned by the US
Reason (II)
One of the fisherman released from a Pakistan jail has claimed that inmates were “beaten up” on several occasions in the aftermath of the surgical strikes conducted by India across LoC.
“After the surgical strikes by India across LoC we were forced to work in two shifts which was against the rules and beaten up for not performing duties to the satisfaction of jail authorities,” Ramchandra Tandel, a native of Navsari, who arrived at coastal town of Veraval after being released from Pakistani jail on December 25, told PTI on Friday.

In Kargil We achieved what we want.
