The way Rupee is declining...I am sure cost are going to go manifold...We might rather go for LCA mk2, if not gripen...if this situation of financial slide continues I think its better to be pragmatic... We need indigenous solutions to keep things arrested and not feel overindulgent... reference htt...

It is surprising that this comes from Omar Abdullah, but he is right !! I wish India shows some spine while dealing with China: Omar Abdullah Its because he is trying to balance the perspective of common people towards him...few days back he was making many remarks not so savory...So I guess everyo...

In short just because Tavor and M16A- look much better that INSAS, it doesnot mean that they are better rifles. you don't really mean it...isn't it, I mean if things upgrade so does the some obsolete things around it called looks... some times...but I think these new guns are also about ergonomics ...

PLA Lessons from Foreign Conflicts Isn't it ridiculous and too literal to say "learn from others mistakes"...They cant learn from others mistakes, until unless they have a real war experience, or they are involved in some of these wars.... War experiences and outcome conclusions though lo...

I think all that minimum deterrent facade they maintain and quote India for it because...they are aware, its inevitable for them to split...This is why one of clause for them to use nukes is if India or someone tries to cause a split... they use India to divert attention...Army and armament is keepi...

I knew someone will point that out...but its true they didnt sell Gripen quoting the same policy...

they sold AEW&C platform though...but http://www.rediff.com/news/2004/jul/07pak.htm....

I was telling wrt Gripen, there is flipside I am aware...

if Gripen are smart they could take a chunk of the market segment being targeted by the JF17 (ie basket cases) by offering a simple gripen-C model without the frills and offering to integrate choice of customer radar and weapons. should be anyway a far better a/c than the JF17 and they can tailor t...

I am sorry, you are correct, POK does touch Afghanistan to be effective...I never noticed slight elongation in satellite images...Karakoram highway passes from the same region, connecting china to this territory...

I am sure Mirage upgrade was exceptional bargain...We trust our negotiators, what about french negotiators? They are great at giving away ground in their own backyard...MMRCA not sure bro, economy is hard on India as well...

To begin with how rigorous was the Swiss Eval. They neither have deserts, extremly humid areas or very high alt air fields. Apart from the evaluated contenders they have little parallel with our evaluation. Swiss eval has no bearing on how IAF eval'd them. IAF's eval is by far the most thorough eva...

It definitely depends on exploits of the systems and pilot...In one instance some chinese birather claimed proudly on BRF IIRC that JF17 beat sukhoi 30 mkk in exercises hands down...well we all know what it can mean, specially when two fighters are far apart in potential. But when it comes to Rafale...

This is why outside journalists must accompany a local advisory and go through a proper local understanding routine to frame the questions...

manum

All agreed. But, we still have 10 billion $. No matter how efficient the abcd's (as mentioned by you), we still cannot afford $ 40 bil +. A life cycle cost of efficient 10 billion worth of a/c is good in same ratio as 40 bil worth. I am not arguing that we should not buy them as I have always argue...

:roll: :roll: Seriously you want us to consider a 4th gen fighter when 5th gen fighters are coming online and are already in service. Name a single 4th gen fighter that any European nation or Russian or american or Japanese considering building? I would rather send Indian fighter pilots to fight in...

supporting is something different and buying a machine is a totally different thing, because at the end of day some of my tax money will be involved in this purchase and If someone is buying in this case GOI, I want it to be the best. So everyone who supports Rafale, I did not call them stupid I my...

I think its important to understand that we are buying a leverage till 2030...by buying Rafale or typhoon, Upgrading Mirage increasing the number of MKI's and FGFA... So whatever the cry over cost is...It'll fade away when we'll see investment in longer term i.e. we are stuffing our food scaffolds f...

How can China attack us...just to push us back...isnt it that if they attack us and pushed backwards...it'll be a bigger setback for them on many fronts? I think Chinese have bigger things at stake like India has wrt pukes...and then they wont risk loosing face...If they do Kargil on us, they'll mak...

@ROTFL guy, apologies for the MMRCA part. I wouldn't want passing the buck to the person I mentioned, hes well respected and the conclusions drawn were mine and mine alone, and I might be wrong on certain counts.

India is still in process of standardizing its manufacturing industry and setting norms where they should be...in practice... This whole thing is raising the cost...One way we are actually now finding things reaching their real price...Indian Industry mostly like whole of world is also on trend to i...

Ya...but I think we'll see stealth LCA's first, AMCA we are not going to see for long...We'll rather mature stealth technology on a tested platform... LCA since dont have too much range wrt to china it can be used in flip flop of defensive and offensive...i.e. if we push it in enemies border buffer ...

We can also create an algorithm or a script wrt the capacities and safety factors of each aircraft like BVR and detection range and explore many forms not only pyramidal i.e. 3 dimensional spatial forms and respond as per change in scene...Though war is always a fluid condition but still we anyway m...

manum

it might be a kiddish asking...but still What about buddy refueling? we can dominate a buffer region inside the enemy territory say 100 km using swarms of LCA...and let MKI's go further....secondly what about using buddy refueling in gradual format...Lets say we take 30 LCA's inside then 20 go furth...

PRC has officially one-child policy for a long period of time, that means the little Chinese emperor has 2 parents and 4 grand parents to take care off (if he is married, add wife plus her 6 lineage). Moreover PRC cares very little for individual citizens and largesse of socialistic things like foo...

Wow If Balochistan could break from Pakistan...the whole relevance of Pakistan would end, as all the supplies from Afghanistan and Iran to and fro could have been taken cared off through land route and then through Arabian sea...Its a great way to help Baloch's gain the independence, it'll open our ...

What I don't agree to, is the trading part. Being a rajput myself I know for a blunt universal fact that rajputs (from vedic Kshatriyas) aren't a shrewd and extremely clever community. Hmmm.
