Dumb shits should just order 57 rafales then in straight govt to govt deal and pair it with engine development deal.

Pakistan joining tfx would mean west would refuse much western input in tfx as any paki technology would find its way to china.I dont believe turks economically are in any position to launch tfx in 27-28.

If you dont get rafale you will only multiply logistics cost with another type.The zoo like situation of united nations air force will continue.

35 billion dollars if you make them in india.25 billion if imported. like first 36.This is for rafale.Rest assured its not going to happen.IAF will have to settle for another 36 rafales.

20-25 years if left in proper storage.Western missiles last double of russian ones.

Foolish to assume IAF would posture on its gold plated weapon.You are implying the female pilot is less capable than her male counterpart or IAF has relaxed standards in some way.This is rubbish,piloting is not infantry.We have several excellent female pilots in civilian sector and military...

Cancel MMRCA and staggered purchase of rafale is indeed best option.Kudos to CDS rawat.

No its true,S400 can detect f35 only at 50-60km.F35 is an all aspect stealth fighter.But we dont need to worry about that,we wont be facing f35.J20 lacks true stealth due to canards and old engines.The best way to detect f35 like fighters is long range IRST sensor on a fighter.Use a pair of them...

Sry typo,yes 2 squadrons of mig29s from admapur cover punjab as interceptors.1 sq in jamnagar covers gujarat.Remains to be seen where 4rth squadron will go,either srinagar or it will go to jamnagar.

Single engine fighter with quickest response time in IAF is mig21. It also has limited range and is only useful as point defence fighter,nothing else.Keeping it inland is waste. Mig29s guard forward bases at 2squadrons in awantipore and 1 in jamnagar covering core areas of gujarat and punjab as...

Yes,RWR would detect the radar and the active warhead mica and take evasive measure.But it wont see the IR mica coming with it.Rafale FSO has long range IR sensor range greater than that of MICA.

You use the FSO IR sensor with IR mica for full passive.Or you use radar/spectra and fire a pair of micas - one radar guided ,one IR guided.Enemy sees the radar guided one coming,but not the IR guided one.IR shots are deadly as they cant be jammed.

The mica's best feature is that it can be used as a long range IR guided missile.IR guided cant be jammed and also allow passive interceptions with the enemy not knowing missile has been fired at it.Same as what happened to f16 abhinandan took out.As a radar guided missile mica is mediocre.

Mica-ng wont be ready before 2026.
