Thanks guys it worked.

Why are my tweets not loading fully. What am I doing wrong??

We were talking about jaguars role in lca thread . A beautiful picture with harpoon.

Mentioned in capex part iirc

https://x.com/alpha_defense/status/1752956464409534972?s=20 So budget has provided 40778 cr for aircraft and aero engines. That's about 5 Billion USD. If this remains consistent over the years with minimal increase we are looking at 60 billion USD over 10 years for aircraft and aero engines...

🤣

Hence SAMs come into equation. Pakis will be facing s400 shadow inside their own aur space and a formidable wall of akash , Barak, qrsam etc. Chinese will face all these plus Himalayas terrain and disadvantage of lifting off from tibet .

USA has an offensive doctrine. It has ditched point defence fighters long time ago.

Warfare has changed. Thousand of mig type jets are useless in modern battle field so are old strike jets like mirage 3&5. There are thousands of advanced SAMs in inventory and only aircraft with sophisticated defensive systems can evade them but those aircraft will be very costly ( just like...

Why ?? Uk and France were larger economy than us just few years ago ! How many jets do they have?? Paki numbers are a joke since they have stopped retiring old mirage 3-5 which are totally obsolete and barely flying. Meanwhile a single rafale can perform twice the mission role of Mirage...

Your worries are correct with respect to china. Pakistan squadron strength is meaningless as 70% PAF is f7 , mirage 3 and 5 all of which are 50 years old and m3 and m5 don't have any air combat capacity. J10 and f16 ( if upgraded) are only fighter capable to challenge IAF somewhat. They can be...

Yes those will provide spare parts for our current mirage fleet to operate till 2035.

Budget is simply not there to induct 40 jets per annum. Besides we'll need Desi jets to touch those numbers . IAF capital budget is 7 billion USD only. Even if 4 billion goes to fighter jets that can get us only 20-25 new advanced jets with weapons and maintenance contracts. Only when IAF...

They have boosted Navy's capital acquisition budget this year by about 43% . IAF has capital budget of 7 billion USD . A similar boost will see it @ 10 billion USD. Which can solve all problems for now. Then we can spend 4-5 billion USD on fighter jets procurement annually. While rest goes...

No one is denying the need for MRFA. But looking at budget constraints iaf should have gone for 36 more and later when budget improved they could've gone for another 36 as a last batch of AMCA was delayed. ( Which is most probable given they haven't even sanctioned mk2 even now god know when...

Agree with most points but 3 yrs from order to first delivery is minimum in aircraft industry. Then again at which stage the tender is stuck??

They had to replace 200+ mig21 with lca. So mk1a number can be increased without touching anything in medium category. We never had budget for 126 rafale . Perhaps for 126 Mirage. If they wanted 126 jets in one go they should have ordered f16 or gripen to be honest. With rafale they...

Ok so why are they not ordering 40 more mk1a which is already flight testing. And will start delivery soon . It will only cost 3 billion USD. Add another production line. Because this MRFA / rafale again isn't coming anytime soon either if they award it next year by magic first jet won't be...

If budget is their priority why are the so hell bent upon 114 MRFA. 114 rafale will cost 28 billion USD. How will they fund anything else then su30 upgrade , mwf , AMCA , lch , tapas ?? If they were serious about budget they would buy 36 more rafales and move on with mwf. Perhaps order a few...
