Is Indian Navy walking into F-35 trap

The F-35C will probably be around the same price as the Rafale M by 2019 ($90 million) due to the sheer number of F-35s being built (2500) plus the increased investment in cost reduction. Parts cost and availability will not be a problem due to the same reason. Singapore is expected to put in their order soon and Finland, Denmark are considering it vs. the Eurofighter. How is it a "Trap"

IDRW is a fanboy type website.
Indian Navy is very interested in F-35C if they would go for CATOBAR carrier.
F-35B is a lemon which I don't want on our future LHDs.

why do you think F-35B is a lemon??
 
Well, India will go for F-35 as Israel is also there on this fighter
 
Look at it this way
Because of china, India is trapping America
Because of India, America will be able to trap china
Because of America, India will be able to Map SCS.

Chinese are very smart people when it comes to politics,
American change their friends weekly, America is using India against China as they have used Pakistan against USSR
 
The F-35 is a lemon. We shouldn't even touch it with a bargepole!
 
its not trapping its called smart buisness / marketing tactiksbut onli those people can appriciate it who know how buisness is done in the world today not those who want every thing for free or as soft loans against war remmitence or giving rahdaari :haha:

and what is India doing now, do you think your value is much higher because you dont take soft loans, oh yeah i forgot about your GDP PPP and ABCs. Americans are very impressed with your 1.9 trillion economy? 1/3rd the size of Chinese stock market? and you think they will go against Chinese for you?
and whats wrong with taking remmitance agsinst rahdari, much better than giving it for free.

saeen ji you dint get my point about buisness inthe first place and like a fanboy are cheer leading for china when it was not required :haha:

yes we take loans but also repay them back and thats why every one wants to invest there money on us ;)

getting in good terms with india doesnt means getting in bad terms with china and thats the escence of international trade and diplomacy and niether china nor india has any problem with it then why is pakistan so concerned :sarcastic:

now the thread was about F35 yes it was offrred to us and just might come to owr navy as we want some serous tech from US and USA bieng a smart and shrewed buisnessman doesnt gives away any thing for free but look at what we get in return

1.latest meratine carrier/ship building technology

2.worlds second most advanced fighter jet withvery fewstrings attached

3.active USA -Indiaint ellegence shairing forbetter control on criminal activities in owr seas

and much much more and the best part is we are paying for all that in hardcash so USA wont be able to arm twist us as it will want to do more buisness with us like any smart buisnessman hope you got my point sir :)
 
F35 doesn't mature than 5th gen fighter is just a myth
 
India has so many parties to please and will have the most diverse airforce in the end, a true logistical nightmare. They are pleasing the french with 36 Rafales because they also have to buy the JSF post 2020. I wonder how they will please the Russians because they will have to buy the PAKFA as well.
 
Do what ? :unsure:

I mean Build AMCA

F-35 is for Navy not airforce... Rafale will be inducted in more numbers not 36, since we already have lots of fighters from France its not a big nightmare, and the same goes for Russian ones
 
The link in the article is misleading...US ain't helping to build the carrier...they're just providing the next-gen launch system that IN wants their nuclear CATOBAR a/c to have...so that it can launch heavier aircraft with better efficiency.

article says they're also helping in designing the AC... maybe some minor modification in order to accommodate EMALS
