    I wonder why the a**#oles who protest over "one rank one pension" never protest for better equipment for the forces. While in service they can't speak anything bcoz of disciplinary issues... why can't they speak post retirement.

    Indian Airforce: inching towards a Checkmate ♟️ The IAF is one bad news away from a US Checkmate forcing it to buy an American fighter How I see it? I don't look at it in economic sense... it's not that without the IAF deal boeing/Lockheed won't survive... It's the strategic sense...

    Pakistan already has a numerical parity with us as soon as all the J-10's get delivered PAF doesn't have to fight entire IAF... only the Western & South-Western commands... IAF won't at any moment put more than 2/3rds of its strength on Pak front... nor will China allow it. So we better get...

    I don't know whether I would be able to put it the way I am imagining it AUKUS was a classic chessboard move! Steal the sub deal 👉 French get upset 👉 placate them with UAE rafale deal 👉 Jam-pack the dassault production line 👉 IAF 🇮🇳 forsee the delay in delivery if additional rafale ordered 👉...

    Orders for 30 by Egypt & now for 80 by UAE will bring down the prices... without doubt. So procurement of additional rafale by IAF 🇮🇳 is foregone conclusion. Numbers will be between 54-78 aircraft. To add: Egypt got the 'additional' 30 rafale for $4.5 billion.
