You too discuss it when Gripen is ready and MWF is ready.

MWF will have 110KN engine made by DRDO, same as AMCA. For the initial prototypes, the engine will be F414. But Gripen will have only F414 without any intention of upgrades. This means MWF will have 12-13% more thrust than Gripen. PS- Gripen will not be ready by 2023. They are so incompetent...

Don't expect Gripen to be ready before 2030. Moreover, Gripen NG will have F404 which is 98kN engine whereas MWF will have 110kN engine. The payload of Gripen NG will only be slightly better than Tejas MK1. This is too bad to be considered for

What is AMCA for? Why should India buy either F35 or Su57? Except for engine and design, the technology for all other things like Radar, avionics are already in India. Why need F35 or Su57?

India got kits for Su30 in initial stages. The Technology transfer was step by step and as of now, India makes Su30 fully. I am not time travelling and talking if 10 years back situation. I am talking if situation right now. India already makes Tejas except for engine. Engine for Su30 is older...

Yeah, we use,not make high end engine for Helicopter despite having been in JV foe 2 decades. No Technology was learnt in the 2 decades of this JV. Russia has given us full Technology for Su30 and India us now self sufficient in making it. Who told you that SU30 is sent to Russia for repairs...

She is a woman, not a BRO......

This is not some Bollywood movie. HAL doesn't become junk just because it is PSU. What world do you live in? Rafale also can't supercruise when having full tank and decent payload. Same with Su30. Also, RCS of Su30 is 3-4 m2 whereas Rafale has 1 m2. Also, hybrid PESA is extremely good quality...

. Yeah, so much that we still import engine for Helicopter, use french rockets. Even submarine design of Arihant predates French scorpene

We can't assume that France will give Technology. Manufacturing planes as in manufacturing body is not enough. We need the plane to be fully indigenised. The point is about Technology,not assembly All these are useless without indigenisation. Our Su30 performs better than Rafale in everything...

That is just political posturing. IMO, we have struck a deal with France for full indigenised Rafale including engine (most likely Kaveri engine fitted in Rafale). Bit we are not sure whether France will follow through or pretend and cause Delays. So, this is where we are stuck. We can't pay...

This is pure assumption. W are negotiating with everyone. We can't just hope that France agrees What do you mean by bad situation? What is wrong with current MKI? They are working fine. No need to exaggerate. Why it is natural to need collaboration? Did France have collaboration? India can...

Gripen E is not even flying. How can it be bought at all? SAAB doesn't even have its own radar, engine, avionics and FBW codes. It is ruled out. F16 can be bought. Even if it is replaced by F35, it is irrelevant. We want our strategic needs met. Whether other countries replace it has nothing to...

Let me see what you had to say and analyse- We didn't take 1 decade to evaluate. The UPA deal was scrapped and the new deal was negotiated in 2 years. Also, DRAL as of now doesn't produce critical parts like avionics, radar, engine etc. We have no guarantee that France will not make DRAL just...

Stop ranting like a girl. You speak as if you know everything. How do you know thT France won't betray India? India is not asking merely for planes but made in India planes with 100% indigenisation. So, there is no question if setting up of assembly lines with a private company. The question...

Do you even know what these evaluation is for? We can't just magically get made in India Rafale. We need France to agree with it. We also need to ensure that France doesn't end up betraying. So all these factors take time

Derby is not really a great missile. Moreover, India can use Astra instead. I don't really see why you would call it extortion. Russian missiles are not inferior in any way If we sign it quickly, it will be completed in 3-4 years. Russian can upgrade 15 planes a year.

1980s or not, it is irrelevant. India has its own facilities for overhauling and repairing Mig29. So, it will have very limited expense to India. But it will also offer immediate boost to number of planes India has. Considering that it will cost just a $1 billion dollar for 30+ planes, it is too...

We are not interested in LCA as it is too small. It also has USA engine which makes India uncomfortable. We want MWF and LCA is only a stop gap measure. We can't simply order 40 more LCA as it currently is merely a plane to develop Indian MIC rather than a plane which India needs

True. GBU-15 of USA is similar in Technology and costs $250,000. So, yes, I guess, SPICE has that high a cost. Moreover these bombs are only needed for extremely precise operations and require extensive reconnaissance and surveillance from satellite for targeting. This may not be a very good...
