Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 30 June 2022
Today, any plane that takes off from any airbase in Pak is immediately tracked by our ADS and can be brought down by S400. Then why do we need CAPs? Any bombing can be done by precision delivery of missiles, drones, loitering munitions. Then, do we need Bombers? Do we need the 42 squadrons of planes...

Re: Military Acquisitions, Partnerships & Developments
Now that our US relations are tanked, we have to assume the worst.
Tejas Mk1A, Mk2 engines will not come or if they come they will be significantly delayed,
We will need another line in parallel which can be independent of western influence.
So Su-57 MakeII will come.

We should get into some part of Guyana oil industry and then send a contingent to protect our interests in Guyana. (against threat of Venezuela).

even if a few unmanned LSP Tejas crashes, its okay now.
For production:
start with Ghatak UCAV.
depending on parameters achieved then mate with Tejas Mk-K
