During the symposium I had also asked to elebrate on certain condition but the author diplomatically declined to get in details.

We should avoid flaunting the term low RCS. What do you mean be term RCS? RCS varies with variance of angle of incidence, RF-band, radar operating mode, radar frequency, ambient environmental condition, etc. Their are just too many factors. The problem with Su-57 is that under certain condition...

We are not in 1980s or early 1990s. We can afford western stuff easily with full payment in advance. We no longer need cheap Russian aircraft. The fact of the mater is that even even after purchasing cheap Russian aircraft we tend to replace most of the avionics with indigenous or western ones.

What Russian goodies are present in AMCA?

Dude your source is some random account on twitter. EL/M-8222 jammer is used primary on SU-30 MKI. I read or heard some where that DARE developed ASPJ pods where going to be used to replace jammers on Su-30 MKI. Hypersonic A2G missile following cruise trajectory are still a long way to go.

Which Russian aircraft use GaN EW modules? Care to elaborate on same. GaN modules is not every thong. Its just one piece of technology. Their are lot of different things required to make a successful radar or EW suite. With F-35 their are lot of strategic implications that need to be analyzed...

After a particular distance all radars can successfully track all stealth aircraft as the radar's transmission power overwhelms the RAM and directional reflection characteristics of stealth aircraft. The only question remains is at what distance. The point of stealth doesn't mean invisible to...

How you came to this conclusion? The fact is Russian are bad when it comes to radars and EW pods. In fact they are so bad that IAF replaces Russian avionics, electronics and EW system with Indian, French and Israeli once. Looking at the current configuration F-35 looks more than capable to...

Time for us to change. We are now moving close to NATO block and also reducing our dependence on Russia. Buying SU-75 will only harm us.

I have a feeling that Su-75 may be an issue for India as it will be in direct competition to HAL Tejas and AMCA thus hampering their export potential. UAE has an interest in Tejas; Su-75 may cause issue with its export as it can be projected as 5th generation alternative.

Don't underestimate the Chinese. They can and will fund Pakistanis to keep India occupied/bogged down in the western front so they (PRC) can have clean hand. Its not a big deal for PRC to sponsor Pakistanis and looking at Pakistani history they will dance on the tune of people throwing them...

They tried Su-57 but failed to achieve all goals be it aircraft's stealth, radar and supercruise capability. Indian Air Force cited demanding maintenance programs, and high maintenance costs as main reasons behind its reluctance to proceed with the project.

We should start working in the direction to counter 5th generation fighters of PAF. It is not a question if PAF will get 5th generation fighters but when they will get 5th generation fighters . If they don't get Su-75 then they will get J-20 or J-31. We should focus on our own indigenous...

Just because Mig-21 could counter it adversaries doesn't mean same philosophy will work for 5th generation fighters. Air combat has evolved a lot. Even USAF is focusing on 4.5th generation fighters and not sole relying on 5th generation fighters. I think we are good with Rafale and Tejas till we...

Wow that is a lot of negativity for AMCA. Mid 2030s is the date set for IOC production. As for PRC you can't go toe to toe. That will bankrupt you like Soviet. It makes no sense for us to invest in an unproven platform whose cost might triple once you start making it potent enough. A platform...

You nailed it with one sentence.

What makes you think that Su-75 can challenge them? Rafale would be a better challenge to them with its Spectra EW suite. Yes, Tejas production is slow and we need to ramp up its production. Decision has been made that Mig-21 will be replaced by Tejas. I don't think their will be any revision...

Why? What good will come out of it? What improved technologies will it provide? If we are so desperate then we should go ahead with more Rafales. Geo-political winds have changed. Kindly note in today's era US is more important to US than Russians.

IAF has made clear the only 5 Gen fighter they will be buying is AMCA.

Just buying them so PAF won't buy them is pure dumb and waste of our resources. We should focus on AMCA. What is the worse that will happen if PAF gets their hands on those? Its matter of time PAF gets a 5th generation aircraft (most probably from their benefactor PRC).
