MiG35 does not have thrust vectoring. Why do you live in fantasy land? India made MiG21 in India itself with all spares made here too. India also makes Rd33 engine for MiG29 and has purchased MiG29K planes for its carrier. India may have to go for MiG35 for INS Vikrant as there is no other...

Yes, it is the best MiG aircraft and just like MiG29 serves in IAF, MiG35 too can serve. But the speciality of these aircrafts is that they can do short take-off. Unlike Su30, Su35, the MiG35 lacks super-maneuverability and thrust vectoring. So, a Su30 can take down MiG35 more easily than other...

Nope, MiG35 does not have supermaneuverability of Su30. You are mistaking Su35 with MiG35. MiG35 is Short take off and Landing (STOL) aircraft, like Mig29K

MiG35 is upgraded Mig29K and is good only for aircraft carrier. Su30 is better than MiG35 for all other reasons

No one claims that drones can be used to strike Pakistan. Drones can't be used even in Syria, forget Pakistan. Drones are useful for suveillance. Armed hawk/trainers are for CAS roles with helicopters, not as fighter jet requirement

What SEF? The only SEF is Tejas MK2. Everything else is scrapped

We don't have any such decoy drone missiles. I don't thing such small missiles can actually evade the IR seekers or radar. The speed and size difference will also be glaring. USA had even stalled the project as it was ineffective. Brahmos is the only such indigenous missile with India if we...

12 million is too low a price. Really surprising

Sudarshan LGBs were in for further development for accuracy improvement and increased range in 2013 itself. So, I was asking. The accuracy improvement was the roll removal part

Barak misisle has Israeli seekers. When did it become fully Indian? WHo told that all money is for foreign countries? Why can't you understand that this is the money sanctioned and some part will be paid to BEL and some to Israel. Also, the 3 billion dollars weren't on ammunition but on spare...

Who told that? The tests were successful for range of 9km even with the roll. This was in 2010. Development had begun for a 50km range bomb by removing roll. How do you think India made SAAW bombs? Or Garuthmaa? Don't give bogus theories

Can't India make bombs or Laser guidance on its own? These are primitive technology. Also, it is easily possible to reverse engineer these things after acquiring even 1 of them. India had got some of the laser guided bombs in 1999 Kargil war itself and had about 20 years time to reverse...

LCA MK2 can take over the jobs of MiG27, Jaguar, Mirage 2000, MiG21 too. MiG29 has unique features of short take off. It is intermediate between Mk2 and AMCA. The speed of project will depend upon the government. There is no reason to say that AMCA won't be ready by 2030 if NDA is in power...

Coding is never the concern. We have developed UTTAM but it has only A2A as of now. Nevertheless, coding is a piece of cake for India. IT industry is like bread and butter for Indians. The engines are not fully Indian. Some critical parts are Russian. The processor of radar may be Indian but...

It is possible to replace rafale with Su30 at least. Su30 is much cheaper than Rafale, if it was just about cost. Also, yes, Su30 does cost a lot to operate as it is a fuel guzzler, but it is a potent fighter and is definitely better than imports

Reasons: 1) Radar is imported 2) Engine is partially imported (FADEC etc are Indian but critical parts are Russian) 3) Su30 is an all metal aircraft with one of the highest RCS. The critical parts in all aircrafts are engine and Radar. When India doesn't have them, what is the point of...

Why not Helina or the new long distance variant - SANT? It is really bad that India keeps importing things which it already has for no reason. Also, spike was proven to be inferior to Helina which had a better range and better adaptability to all weather - from 50 degree celsius to -20 degree...

It is always better to have limited type of planes for better logistics and repair. Mass manufacturing of parts will also be easier as it requires limited number of machines, easier to train employees etc. I see no reason to go for more than 2 class of aircraft - LCA Mk2 and AMCA. Since Su30 is...

To be able to fight 2 front war, it is important to have indigenous manufacturing, not imports. For that, you need to elect government that focuses on indigenous production, research and development. Importing was never a meaningful option. It serves as an opium for retarded people to pat on...

Your arguments are hollow. Rafale is also a long term solution. The current batch of Rafale is to be delivered by 2023. Additional will have to be afterwards. France is still not India. One can never be sure. It is like saying during war, France will ally with India. You simply don't know that...
