Your issue is that you don't like USA and favor Russia. I won't argue about international politics and babble about Syria/UAE etc. etc. That is a separate issue. I like India and I believe India should buy US arms and equip appropriately. Tejas has much in common with US fighter jets like its engine. What Lockheed and Boeing are offering India are beyond any offer India received from Russia or France.
You are babbling about Russia, can you get Russia to build a factory in India to build Su35 with Indian workers and make it an international base for export? I will like that. You talk about FGFA and great T-50. Russia stiffed India. It took $295 million and did not even give India a chance to test-fly it. Now it wants Five billion dollars to R&D to make it a two seater which is total nonsense. Russia is simply bilking India. That five billion could be better spent on building Tejas, or buying 100 F-16, or 50 F-35. I would like to see how PM Modi can explain this $5 billion dollar bogus expense to Indian people.
It is quite doubtful Russia even created a half way decent fifth gen fighter jet. T-50 could be a bogus show piece to get money from India or China. Otherwise why it will not allow IAF pilots to test fly it or bring it to India to show it. Russia wants five billion dollars to develop a fifth gen fighter jet that it does not have money for.
What are Lockheed and Boeing offering us to assist us in Tejas project
only some speculations available, how you sure about these things, ever heard offset clause
Your friend is calling all speculation and ad nothing else. How Boeing and Lockheed are helping us?
Your issue is that you love USA and think other as minorities
One think India uses not su30mki not Su 35. Tell me why we will make a factory for one that we don't even use and for which users?
Second thing Russia did assist us in building factories for su 30mki maintenance
Agreement between Russia and India about PAK FA or FGFA is not completely finalized it is still under decision making process. Do you think USA will allow us to test F 35 if we pay few crores as mark of sing MOU
Quite true five billion dollar could be spent on Tejas but I do not think with such a strong lobby from Saab and USA
IAF pilots were not allowed to test Su30 version when it came out. It was only after they declared for exports IAF was allowed to see.
Yes Yes you even thought russia could not sustain one month air campaign over Syria yet they are continuing
go and check the History, why F 16 is a proven iconic, F 16 is royal player, MiG 21 is poor men's friend
apart from Japan and Israel, no one wants the Raptor, for two reason, huge operating and Procurement cost, they didn't face such level of threat to use the F 22
Then you are telling the more cash you give USA the more better fighter you get. Yes Russia also had same intention but not to forget Mig 21 was mass produced cheap and reliable fighter of it's era.
How, Radar, air frame, engine, missiles, all of them is not same for Tejas and MKI... or else I don't know the common components in both MKI and LCA
Well that was just reply to Sam Biswas post if you have scrolled little up you could have seen is posting about tejas similar to USA fighter
And still we Indian loves green card, H1B, and loves to go USA,, not Russia
take a look of Russian supported nations ( Some Africans) and US Supported nations, (RoK, North Europe, Japan )
Mine question was about propaganda and history not why India go to USA. we could debate on that on other thread.
Since these peoples not ready to raise voice against KSA and UAE
Why can't USA just a campaign in name of bio chemical weapon like in Iraq. USA can rallies all media house they are experts on that
you're new to the game, go cry a river
Yes I am new in the game but problem in Afghanistan in 90s affected our Kashmir operation adversely
