Before we make that judgement, we have to consider the possible war scenario for both jet. In a future war, India will be the attacker while Pakistan is in defensive position. So, it is more likely that Indian jets will need to enter into Pakistan's sky deeply for most of their missions. JF-17...

Considering Pakistan's industrial bases, it is just too early to worry about that. Who doesn't? Every country is looking after her own interest, they will "backstab" her closest ally when it suits her own interest. Well, if Chinese think Pakistan is important to them enough, them should...

:facepalm: Yah, sure, assembling foreign civilian planes and supplying components to the components of jet engine bring mexico great amount of experience of developing a modern fighter jet. The only thing that Mexico developing that comes close to military is this: This plane is definitely...

The only way that Mexico can come up with something better than JF-17 is getting US or other European countries involved. After all, Mexico's know-how and experience in aviation industry is next to zero. Then you can tell what is the prospect of this common fighter to Argentina: Best scenario...

Oh, what did I say makes you feel so uncomfortable?

Considering her neighours' air force, that is probably more than enough.

For a country that has no refueling tanker aircraft and has no plan to buy such aircraft in near future, why do they need a plane with refueling probe?

Based on your logic, so does Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) Kfir, the Dassault Mirage F1, the Alenia M-346FT, the Aero L-159 ALCA, the CAC FC-1/PAC JF-17 Thunder, the Saab Gripen, early-model Eurofighter Typhoons.

How hard it is for you to understand this is a Pakistan project from the beginning: Pakistan's money, Pakistan's technical layout, Pakistan't tactics design. PLAAF is building itself based on heavy (J11s) and medium (J10s) structure, this kind of light jet has no future to them.

Dude, this is a FORUM, a place for discussion. Anyone puts on a claim is open for others to question and challenge. Or IAF just found out that they can't afford Su-57.

The background of this gentleman makes me more skeptical about his claim. This kind of people has no problem to share their personal opinions, but you better check any specific technical detail from their mouth. Themselves are part of propaganda machine, no matter he is Chinese, Russian...

The first one is a book about Modi's strategy by Bharat Karnad who is no way to qualify an aviation specialist. The second one by ersakthivel? Once I read this name, I know can ignore this. If you doesn't know about the fame of this gentleman, just go to the Tejas thread, read from the...

That is interesting, 0.5m² RCS? Can you please provide the official source claiming that?

Was this required by IAF from the beginning of the project or an additional requirement added in after the long time project delay in order to keep up with the world latest tech level?

Well, the problem is that Indian members here tried very hard to argue that the procurement policy in India should be based on the manufacturer's "requirement" instead of users or customers requirement. There is no customer in other part of worlds will face such kind of accusation after the...

That only means one thing: the original plan was failed. The existing and mature technologies that India has are not good enough to support this plan. That is why Indian scientists have to take risk of implementing new technologies by the end of project. Why a smokeless propulsion is a...

No, it is your people claim that they can produce it with India raw material. But the fact is for whatever excuses, they haven't been able to do so. Quote:" Though bulk of the 272 Sukhois (240 inducted till now) contracted from Russia have been made by Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), they have...

There are 3 errors in your belief. 1. No, there was no ToT for Chinese on either Su-27, or Su-35. Chinese got much lower level of ToT from Russia comparing to India. At least, Russia provided some tech to allow India to manufacture some components locally with Russian material. To Chinese...

Please don't waste anyone's time. Su-35 is bought to replace the unsuccessful so far J-11D. On the other hand J-15 is based on the Su-33 which is modified specially to take off/land on aircraft carrier. She can't be replaced by Su-35. She got nothing to do with Su-35.

Well, as I said SAC is a state-own company, technically, every cent of their internally fund is owned the government. The project which will require more than 10billion RMD for just initial investment. Such scale of money will require approval from SASAC. SASAC will only give the green light...
