Nirbhaya cruise missile

We are yet to hear about DRDO’s Nirbhaya cruise missile. It is long awaited. It’s many test had an unpleasant outcome. Something did not come right in each test.

Where do we stand today…………? If it has failed, then Indian Armed forces are short on a deep penetrating missile.

Excellent decision. Double up the production speed. Costs gonna come down. Offer to other countries at a more value for money. Ramp up it's capability with CATS.

IMO, the IAF thought they won't be getting any foreign fighters so better get the swadesi one.

We are adapting well to ever-evolving challenges in a 21st Century Warfare. Heavy inputs from Azerbaijan-Armenia , Russia-Ukraine wars.

MRFA will continue regardless. What're you going to face the PLAAF equipped with J-20 , J-16 ,
J-10 & J-11 with ? LCA Mk-1a ? All 130 or 180 of them .

There're meant for the western front .

RN , if there's only 1 FA which can battle the PLAAF & give it a run for it's money , it's the Rafale although it's a 4.5 + Gen FA. We need them in good numbers or let me say we need a minimum of 90 nos apart from the Super Sukhoi program . The only other alternative is the Su-57 but it's still being fitted out & tested with the Item 30 TF . Then there's the F-35 which is a different story altogether.

Before you go what about LCA Mk-2 , AMCA , TEDBF etc , that's all happening next decade whereas our tryst with China will happen by the end of this decade or earlier.

Sir, the 114 number of MRCA is now looking like unobtainable. Sure, they will go for 2-3 more squadrons but chances are getting slim for 6+ MRCA squadrons.

But why, 50 more makes sense, we can match Pakistani JF 17's pound for pound with that but what are we going to do with the rest of the 50 aircrafts where are we going to use them, certainly not the Chinese as J10s will be an overmatch for mk1a

MRCA isn't going anywhere.

If they had to go in for an additional 2-3 squadrons they'd have done it a long time ago. They'd be going in for The Full Monty this time.

I will be happy if it isn't going anywhere. I want my IAF to have all best fighters.

Why match their numbers? Better to give them a number to try and match.

I think the idea is to let all these Mk-1a be deployed on our Western front with maybe half a squadron of Rafale & 1 squadron of Su-30 MKI upgraded to Super Sukhoi standards in a front line role with the Jaguars in a secondary role leaving the rest of the IAF free to take on PLAAF . This would also include the Rafale component the INs importing.

The IN would probably deploy their MiG-29K & the IAF the Jaguar IM for naval duties against Pakistan. Between them & the FA mentioned in the above paragraph , they can sort out the whole of Paxtan . Add to it our IADS with the S-400 in the forefront.

It appears the IAF is confident the Mk-1a is upto the task of being in the frontline & vanguard as far as tackling the PAF goes .
