No takers for Sea gripen. Let Gripen first take a grip on its sales

IAF is the reason for this mess, because of their shortsightedness. They can always blame the Russian planes for flaws, but their most critical flaw is not ensuring the spares required and IAF is trying to shy away from it by blaming Russian tech. Even Mirage 2000 were grounded due to lack of...

If you see the mix, both China and India have a lot to lose, Pakistan has nothing to lose, they have lost all, This is what the situation was a few years ago. Now the situation in actual pakistan is a bit different, the pakistan economy is not growing and hence if they hav to keep spending for...

If we have War with Pakistan, why the hell would China intervene? China has a bigger business potential in India, would they risk that??

One correction, The platform is Beriev A-50 and not IL-76

IAF is a professional service and that can be said about the pilots, but then Tactics and strategies is not really a pilots cup of tea. Planning strategies comes from experience and knowledge, If you see the situation IAF top brass had thought they had covered all the posts a) MiG-29 for Air...

They are smitten because that is the only plane for which they could make kickbacks, for other planes specially Russian, its less. Further, if you analyse it, it is short sightedness of IAF top brass. Russians developed MiG-29 as an air superiority fighter, why could the IAF top brass not see...

The way I see it, the intention of the IAF top brass was to somehow go for the french products. I do agree the French Rafale is good, but as seen there are many alternatives and one of the other competitors is what we use Su-30 MKI. The price of Rafale per plane to India will be about US$ 175...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV IAF pilots want a good plane they can use and most of the pilots are patriots and understand their duty. But then it is the top brass which is the problem which being shortsighted as their dire requirement for post retirement luxuries are trying their best to achieve some...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV So, I guess there is going to be the first where he would be wrong (Rafale context) Be sure, that Rafale will not be signed this April. NaMo is not a person who goes on foreign tour to sign Aircraft deals. It is not his style. Guess the French are basing in their view of...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV Could be he related to South Block Leaks? After all there was a journalist arrested for the earlier Leak...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV Boss, try not to post there, the comments will get deleted because the bugger does not know how to reply to them. that is schoolboy blog made for pure jingoism and sensationalism. The people who feel that for a plane to be higher 4.5th Gen there is requirement of...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV Adding Canard is not THE requirements of a plane, Tejas PAFKA and F-35 have LEX that do the job of Canards but in different way. Adding a canard also adds to the radar signature, thus if Eurofighter and Rafale did not have a canard, they would have a smaller radar...

Re: ADA LCA Tejas - IV What you say is a very valid point, but try telling that to IAF. IAF do not see it the way you see it, they are more or less of the attitude "paisa phenko tamasha dekho" but more or less IAF is like a clerk who works at a big company and has been asked to bring the...

It is strange that recently two planes of different types both crash in same area. Too much of a coincidence isnt it?
