Stealth fighters: India and Russia form groundbreaking partnership

[Paan Singh]

india should build an carrier with vtol support and purchase 20-30 f-35.Till that time this bird will be matured enough.

maybe f-35 was a sick plan of the U.S to keep its allies and the rest away from 5th gen tech for as long as possible

naaah....... can't be ..... a lot of US buck is involved in this ..... besides since russia ,India , china, and a few others already have progs for 5gen planes keeping allies away from 5gen tech is stupidity...... while Uncle SAM is many things he definitely is NOT stupid..... JSF was made because f22 was way too costly and they could not afford to buy and maintain the huge numbers they obviously want....the jsf is cheaper and very formidable (so they say) but not as good as f-22..... by the way you forget a hell lot of numbers of JSF is gonna be a part of USAF ....USA is not so delusional to buy these crafts if it were for fooling ppl

We don't need F35 .. but ha if they are willing to sell F22 then I think we should go atleast 4 sqdrn fighter

do u know about maintenance cost of f-22??
i think we might have sell our half air force

 

[kaykay]

even USA is facing problem handling a single fgfa think what would India do if it goes for both jsf-35 and pak-fa/fgfa......

 

[Whazzup]

I think we should wait and see how this JSF program progress. We already have two 5th gen fighter jets planned fgfa and AMCA. I think we should wait and if by 2020 any of the two projects fgfa and amca gets delayed we can always go for F35 and may be by 2020 US might even be willing to sell f22.

IAF officials have allready made it clear that India can neither buy nor can operate 3 diff kinds of 5th gen planes so whats the point in going for F35??

Do you even know how many F35s US is going to buy??
What if Russia wants to keep India away from 5th gen tech?Look there are too many maybe maynot be in this political world and out here one need to take chances.

No you raised a nice point but the prob is that nearly every country do that .So you can't trust anyone.

I dont know who is the bigger fool...Ajay Shukhla who says the flyaway cost of a F-freakin-35 is $ 65 million or the author of this article who found it credible enough to publish it..




Garuda.

Ajay ShUSkla of course. His articles are so funny that they're good for a read when you had a bad day at work. . BTW that ain't Garuda deva; the following is:

Testing F35 in the name of trails is a better option .
