India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

[Suhaan]

Lol you wanted the difference but I get it its okay, take your time. its hard for internet explorer users

Lol,you don't understand anything apart from uttering "fake",being trolling for 3 months have taken toll on you
Didn't you say there is a difference,a wannabe sino defence expert should have that much knowledge ,shred it Mr. or copy pasting has sucked juice out of you?

 

[Sanglamorre]

really really hard to believe news...
What practical purpose would it even serve?

That guy also said Jiang Zemin was dead, so...

IAF is making a serious mistake if it does not take American proposals seriously about fighter purchase.
India should go for a large number of second hand fighters from USA plus some new ones.

India should stop worrying about US presidential election outcome.
India should try to get maximum weapons systems from USA.

why? moving from one kill switch to other ? What purpose will it solve. LCA, MWF, AMCA, ORCA why not invest heavily in those ?

 

[nick_indian]

it wouldn't be secret anymore if corroborated..

Haha.

But even the speculation can be corroborated by further speculation from more dependable sources.

buying any jets apart from F35, doesn't make sense

US to sell F-35 jets to UAE as part of Israel deal

Turks must be really happy ,

They contribute money and expertise to F35 and get nothing , meanwhile their rival gets the F35 .

"small nation like UAE will have 5th gen jets while we ... etc etc

Like I said I won't be surprised if they start landing in Agra to refuel.

Is this piece of news really true?.
Though India would appreciate any offer of help to throw out the Chinese I hope we do not accept any humiliating conditions. An relation of mutual respect and understanding is necessary.
I think a ground action by the army is necessary supported by air operations. Ultimately the PLA soldiers on Indian territory have to be pushed back.

Because war cannot be postponed beyond one year. None of the projects you mentioned except LCA mark 1 is available.

I am warning that non-availability of fighters will be very costly for ground troops.

We have to take into account attrition in air, on ground etc. and heavy need for ground support.

Yeah does nt make ny sense . If we had so much money then we wld have gone for 126 rafael . Onlything i m bothering abt it time taken to deliver the aircrafts . Some reports were saying desault ll complete its delivery by 2024 . I hope its fake news . As far as weapon delivery time is concerned no nation can compete americans.. A country which can produce 180+ 5th gen aircraft per year .

So which one is better ? Rafale F3/4 or F-35 ?

F*** the mutual respect. A country like us who is so ignorant about self defence deserves no respect. If India was really deserving of respect, it would have its 46 squadrons, and 3000 artillery pieces of 155 caliber.

I understand and relate with your frustration.

Why blame the country?
Atleast from here on, national security & defence preparedness has to become an election issue.

A few days back there was discussion in this thread on 5G and why that is fundamental to the grassroots transformation of India especially Rural India. Do watch this video which throws significant light on the significance of 5G for us.

Cost factor. Just a shade below $100 million! Then the weapons package, infrastructure, training, life cycle costs and so on and we can arrive at a princely figure of $140 million-$150 million a pop!

In April 2018, Boeing announced a partnership with HAL and Mahindra Defence Systems (MDS) to manufacture the F/A-18 Super Hornet Blk III in India under the ‘Make in India’ programme. Nothing came out of it however. But HAL is producing gun bay doors for the F/A-18 Super Hornet since 2018.

The advantage of having the F/A-18 Super Hornet Blk III could have delivered on India’s need for a carrier and land-based multi-role fighter being the least expensive aircraft per flight hour of its kind with advanced survivability and continuous evolution.

The F/A-18 – the Blk III – is able to perform a variety of tactical missions such as air superiority, day/night strike with PGMs, fighter escort, CAS, SEAD, maritime strike, reconnaissance, and so on. Quite a bang for the buck. But then we have other plans! Many! And no one knows which is going to see the light of day!
