    Indian Air Force admits can’t fight China, Pak at the same time

    Well if SAAB comes and delivers 100 Gripen E, establish a modern production line and make life better for LCA and quietly leaves then nothing could be better. But i have doubts. Such as. How will IAF treat LCA once it starts receiving Gripen when IAF's love for imported weapon is well known? I...

    Indian Air Force admits can’t fight China, Pak at the same time

    Well that's upto you. It is however other thing that LCA being a local product will have its figures in open and with much authenticity than a foreign OEM. Tejas has problems same as other newly developed product will have, with time things will get better as has been case with others.

    How and how much SAAB's flexibility which will benefit us is only time will tell. So far all TOT package offered to us has turned out to be hog wash. Maturity issue is ok, i agree here. But what benefit is offers if Gripen comes couple of years before or MK-2 comes couple of years after. How...

    I don't get as how Teens will add what extra SU-30MKIs can't. Especially when we are talking about upgraded Sukhois called Super Sukhois. No one is willing to invest in future it seems. Creating a dire situation and crying that sky is falling has became regulation. In mean process ultimate...

First of all Gripen will be costlier than NLCA MK-2. And if IAF agrees to use trim down NLCA MK-2 as it airfield version then...

    Indian Air Force admits can’t fight China, Pak at the same time

    This concept of another line is confusing. 10 years ago Mirage 2000 line was rejected in favour of open competition and now we are thinking of doing it. What benefits it will bring other than establishment of a competing line? Specifically when its major owner will be foreign OEM. I for one...

    Instead of this rona dhona, IAF should come up with XX year plan to bring the situation around. Because you like it or not, ready or not, it is a reality that sometime in future IAF will have to face two front war. So get yourself prepared, draw a plan and execute it. After having spent billions...
