We are way past patience we are into generations now. Bachhe bhi bade ho rhe hain ab 😂

We can market we can use Just like Brahmos. But Russian tech is still with them. Advantage is .. it will give us a learning curve and time to develop on our own. And may be with time they will part with the tech slowly once it is outdated for them.

We aren't importing F-35 and USA won't sell it to us with our conditions of use. And China still buys Russian jets and they did both . Bought and kept producing their own. Unfortunately we didn't do that and kept on producing same mig 21 till 1987 with minimal changes. While they redevelop...

It's fast... Look at timeline of well developed industries like France German Japan etc even Russia due to multiple reasons haven't been able to field a 5th gen fighter jet yet.

Lol we ain't buying shit... Good for us... We are hardly able to afford Rafale and operate it... F-35 lifetime cost is much higher. Even Japan is moving with UK for an affordable bird. They were offered F-22 airframe with F-35 avionics still they refused . American jet means having no...

That's the advantage against a smaller enemy like Pakistan for a bigger china we will need more.

That's not how the price of a jet is calculated though. The price is 91 mn Euro around for us. Rest goes to 2 maintenance bases cost weapons spare etc etc.

Its a satire from his part... Where is the common sense lost in the forum ? And Yes 150 kn engine could be slightly bigger and different depends on the tech available at that time.

I have worked with Rolls Royce and I am really impressed by work ethics of Britishers unlike us they do mean their word in a business deal. Punctual and honest worker but their current gen isn't as good as they used to be so you will see lots of Indians and European working for RR instead of...

It's already open, They have informally invited us and probably behind the door too. So this engine project will be crucial for both of us.

Actually it means RR and UK will be developing fifth gen engine for us and themselves but we will be paying for it which in return will provide us IPR of the product. I am sure this suggestion must have come from RR/UK themselves.

True we will. And to take those J 20s out we will have 3-4 Sqd of Rafales. Furthermore with mk2 and Orca ( possibly) J-20/31 combined threat will be matched with a superior or atleast equivalent jet. Tejas will be superior in avionics dept in comparison with J-20 , what it lacks in stealth...

To realise AMCA you need to generate an industrial base and that will be possible only through MWF. Many subsystems avionics etc which will make their way on Tejas will help to mature AMCA. If we are going to skip Tejas and for 2035+ for AMCA then by that time our Sqd strength will shrink...

We have already developed or progressing well in all those departments. For engine GE F 414 is chosen as a backup . While GTRE is developing engine where negotiations are ongoing with France. Russia Israel France these 3 nation will be involved in some extent with this project apart from US...

And why would we start 2 fifth gen project when we are struggling with a fourth gen fighter project. It would be better to go for AMCA instead of single engine version of it which doesn't exist now. Nor we have time now nor resources for it.

Th They are already calling to merge the program. French can definitely get their next gen operational as planned. But AMCA will be our workhorse along with Tejas and UCAVs post 2040.
