Re: Understanding the US - Again
Cybaru and Jay, I get what you’re saying about Trump. I was anti-Trump as anyone else could get but when Biden came onto the scene (I was a Biden supporter until the Ukraine war broke out) after a year and half of experiencing the deep state machinations and wokeism gone amok and overriding every bi...

This drone is basically our version of the J17 plane. We are buying Israeli drones and painting it in saffron color and declaring it as Indian made when the actual parts are made overseas and brought to India to be assembled.

hgupta, there is a gap. Even now GE slipped F404 engine delivery from August 2023 to now. So resource planners have to hedge. Yes but it is temporary.

Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 23 March 2021
Once the LCA MK 1A planes come online there’s absolutely no need for more Mirages. LCA Mk 1A is completely superior to Mirage 2000 in every way. We are just wasting further money. I’d rather spend the money on developing better UAV and such.

Can IMRH replace the capacity of a Sea King? IN should always plan for 2 helicopter hangars even though they may not carry one or both because you never know what situation will arise that will necessitate the quartering of two helicopters at any given time and it is very useful to have that capacity.
