INDIAN AIR FORCE NOT KEEN ON STEALTH FIGHTER WITH RUSSIA

[Zarvan]

Indian Air Force believes that the platform lacks the desired stealth characteristics and is inferior to US-made F-35 and F-22 jets

In the Indian Air Force assessment, the proposed Indo-Russian fifth generation fighter aircraft comes with limited capabilities and design issues at an exorbitant price.

A multibillion dollar programme to develop and produce a stealth fighter with Russia appears to be in peril, with the Indian Air Force (IAF) against pursuing it as it believes that the platform lacks the desired stealth characteristics and is inferior to US-made F-35 and F-22 jets, said a senior IAF officer familiar with the project.

He clarified there were no plans to go for a US stealth fighter.

In the IAF’s assessment, the proposed Indo-Russian fifth generation fighter aircraft, or FGFA, comes with limited capabilities and design issues at an exorbitant price. “Whether the FGFA programme is on or off will be a political decision. The IAF doesn’t think it’s worth pursuing,” the person quoted above said.

The government is finding it hard to reconcile two different points of view on FGFA.
While the IAF wants the project to be abandoned, a high-powered panel appointed by defence ministry to examine different aspects of FGFA recommended in its report last year that India should go ahead with the scheme.

“We are spending more time to see what are the merits and demerits of both arguments. But yes, the FGFA is abhorrently expensive, so we are looking at what we are getting for our money,” said a top defence ministry official familiar with the project.

Air Marshal Simhakutty Varthaman (Retd), who headed the ministry’s panel, refused comments on his report or the contrary IAF view on the stealth fighter. “I would like to leave it to the defence ministry,” he said.

India has been in discussions with Russia but has not signed a $4 billion research and development contract for FGFA.

“I was never enthused by it and I would go by what IAF has to say,” said Air Marshal Vinod Patni (Retd), head of Centre for Air Power Studies and a former IAF vice chief.

Rapist pandit, don't get emotional now LOL

Look at what happened to your JV with Russia LOL Is this the same fighter you used to brag about for hours on this forum? After years of work and cooperation this is the end result. Today, your nation openly insults and humiliates its own partner through media.

A wise lesson for Russia. Never rely and work in joint ventures with backstabbing Rapistan.

Now get back to Twitter and beg for some bobs and vegane LOL

He is doing what usually Indian members do about Pakistan. If you get your acts right no one will respond Indians like threads they post about Pakistan.

Yes, Indians are selective in picking threads, but he just couldn't resist. It is a massive smack in the face. Now we await his response.

This is a very sensitive and painful story for RSS Indians. They have been bragging about this fighter for ages. This is some revelation by their air force. They are basically saying that the fighter is a disappointment. They don't want it and are interested in F-35. The JV has failed to deliver the goods.

Remember the story is 100% verified and multiple Indian sources have reported on it.

The Russians are not going to be amused by this. Years of work and sweat being ridiculed by the investor itself.
