Do-able. But again, only if "Everything goes according to plan". For starters , Tejas rate has to be 24/year from next year onwards (Calendar Year 2025 onwards), which is not likely. But however, Year 2030-31 - 15 Squadrons of Su-30MKI 11 Squadrons of Tejas mk1/A 3 Squadrons of Rafale 3...

im active on youtube and he is a regular troll. I dont even bother verifying his comments anymore.

HAL wants to sell Tejas to Malaysia, Egypt and Australia. IAF making sure they don't witness Tejas's capabilities.

20 Bil$ for 114? 36 Rafales costed 9 Bil$ back in 2016 rates. Do the math. Also i would suggest not to discuss and give limelight to import news.

Now everyone will make money lol. Russia, Israel, France... Wait, what about US?

Jaguars are 4th gen and a total number of 125 units are with the IAF. Fun fact: The last 2 squadrons of Jaguars were ordered in 1999 and 2002 resp.

I try to keep away from political inclinations on this website , but i need to finally open my mouth. Parrikar is the only person single handedly supported the major indigenous projects. Ever since Parrikar left, i have not heard of a single major Indian defence deal except a 114 Dhanush...puny...

Pretty sure its somewhere between 16 to 20. For calculation purposes i take it as 18.

Roughly 15 Sq of Su-30MKI . 260 jets @ 18 per Sq 4 Squ of Mig29, not 3

They will never allow Tejas to participate in these exercises. What if the world knows how good it is?!? Some might say because its in IOC standard, but that didn stop them from flying toe to toe with other IAF fighters during Gagan Shakti!

Indian Air Force (IAF) officers on Wednesday emphasised in the Supreme Court the need for induction of 'four plus or fifth' generation fighter aircraft like Rafale, which have niche stealth technology and enhanced electronic warfare capabilities. They told the bench that Sukhoi 30s is the...

cause it will be only Tejas lol.. We are just outsmarting these import lobbies indirectly.

Let me rectify your points 1. Tejas and Gripen both the same category 2. Tejas and Gripen both are LCAs, F16 is a MMRCA. However with new models and upgrades, the Gripen's capabilities have enhanced and its payload and range on the Gripen E is comparable to MMRCA. Thats the whole idea of the...

Jaguar will start retirement from 2030 or so, and will take over 6-7 years to retire all 145. Logically speaking they should be retired against the FGFA . Mig29 and Mirage2000 wont even start retirement before mid-late 2030s, AMCA is their replacement. Mirage2000 were just upgraded and Mig29...

42 Squadrons by 2032 269 Su-30MKIs 123 Tejas mk1/mk1A (deliveries 2016-2025) 120 Tejas mk2 (deliveries 2026-2032) 36 Rafales 67 Mig29 49 Mirage2000 145 Jaguars Total = 809 Fighter jets. With 20 jets per squadron on average, its close to 41 Squadrons. There's the breakup. Talk about foreign...

From the past we do get an idea of how long it takes from a tender being opened to the contract being signed and deliveries to start. The MMRCA competition(Rafale deal) was started back around 2007 for 126 jets. The contract was finally signed in 2016 for 36 jets and deliveries are expected to...

My favorite part is 26:40 Bharat Karnad straight to the point! Also at 38:50, there has been no official movement from India's side to buy any aircraft. Its just as i thought, all the news are just random desperate lobbying by Saab mainly.

This is like HAL Marut repeating all over again, and its scary.

T These things are said by "Unnamed Airforce officials" andn "Unnamed Govt. Sources" . I would take that as a pinch of salt . Lol. Be practical, India took 15 years to sign the Rafale Deal (2001-2016) while the FGFA deal is pending since 2007. The Future is Tejas on the Light segment and FGFA...

Sweden/Saab is offering some lucrative bribes to the IAF and the media. Hopefully Parrikar will stop it sooner or later.
