Also rafale had aesa radar ready when iaf evaluated it. Typhoon is still in the process of getting aesa. Tejas mk1a is getting aesa radar in same timeframe as typhoon 😂

FCAS will work . Without it both French and German aerospace industries will be left decades behind. And German defence budget is now expanding.

F18 has same engine with lca mk2 and AMCA mk1. So with establishment of f414 mro maintenance will be easier. F18 also allows us to feed from US reserve in case of war with China. US can transfer additional f18 in case of war with China France can't do that with rafale. Same with weapons . (...

Those 10 million over Rafale C add up to 360 million for 36 jets and half a billion for 57 jets .

🤣 All these chinese engines are reverse engineered russian engine till date! Jf17 sold to Pak with Russian engine because chinese couldn't develope a engine for that small and basic plane which doesn't fall apart every week. About there drones which ones are we talking about once grounded by...

If Russian don't have mature 5th gen technologies how do you know chinese have it?? When chinese are themselves dependent on russian for engine and frontline fighters su35?? And did usa was even ready to sell F35 to india?? Is f35 a mature 5th gen fighter ?? Has it attained all operational...

What is J20 going to do about a su30mki launching a bramhos from 500km away or Rafale launching a scalp from 600 km away. Anyhow J20 is still underpowered and is facing many issues it won't be combat ready before end of this decade. Yes china has far bigger production industry but there...

Su30mki will remain a potent beast. It has most weapons for sead and dead as of now including bramhos and rudram 1 along with all kinds of glide / long range bombs . With upgrade it's aesa will be far more powerful than Rafale just because of sheer size of the radar. On top of that it will be...

Nothing surprising here. Meteor + spectra is hard to beat. Things will get more interesting once su30 is upgraded to aesa with astra mk2/ Derby ER. And when lca mk2 comes online.

Naval Rafale would also require new ground base plus all the infrastructure on ground as well as in aircraft carriers hangers to maintain them. They will too need all the weapon including many more anti ship missiles so weapons cost will further increase. TOT clause will remain since offset is...

For navy the issue of cost comes to Rafale aquisition cost vs tedbf development and procurement cost. Rafale m is even more costlier than Rafale air. It would easily cost over 16-18 billion usd for 57 naval Rafale. ( 36 air cost us 9 billion usd). So if tedbf program costs less than that...

We are moving in that direction. MWF is supposed to replace jaguars mirage and mig29. So we will have only 4 types Su30mki heavy , Rafale and MWF medium and lca mk1a light. After that AMCA will start replacing su30mki gradually.

Even without reactor issue nuke sub will have to go for 1-2 years maintenance / refit. So it's not a big deal . And we are planning to operate 4 arihant + 3 large SSBN . So we'll have sufficient deterrent at all times. Most important question is who is going to help us more in being more...

We have already chosen the russian path for SSN. Infact arihant was started as an SSN after pokhran test it was changed to SSBN . We are already operating russian SSN. And we are not going to chose different reactor design philosophies for our SSBN and SSN.

A knighted English spy for sure. Traitor to france !!! Bring out the guillotine... 😆

Lmao usa imposed sactions on india in 1998 was that the fault of soviets?? USA supplied aim120 and f16 to pakistan in 2010s and india shouldn't be biased?? Pakistan openly used f16 against India after balakot strike Indian recovered wreckage of dodged aim 120 missile. All of this was clear...

What does indigenous engine has to do with ew suite?? It's like saying france can't build naval jets because it couldn't develope emals.

F16 is equivalent to MWF. Not gonna happen.

By the time 114 Rafale are delivered indian defence budget will be 3-4 times larger than france. We might have much advanced systems in place then spectra and we'll be spending far more on r&d then france could ever manage unless entire europian r&d combines together.

If we have to do it we will do it with su30mki which can fly faster and already has hardpoints strengthen to carry bramhos which is basically a very powerful rocket itself.
