Bharat Rakshak

Pretty much clear that MoD@GoI is not headed the F-35 way. They'v got their hands full with PAK-FGFA. Very much justified beacuse F-35 is not yet fully inducted in to service. Maybe the navy could take a call, but thats much later. Now if its L1, keeping the 9 costing parameters in mind, Rafale is a...

Ask the Khan..!!

F-35 नही चाहिये.. F-22 देता हो तो बता..वो भी discount समेत..!!
(..F-35 not needed...if you can offer F-22, tell us, and along with discount..!!)

कितनी बार बतायेँ कि हमे तुम्हारा तोता नही चाहिये...!!
(how many times do v need to tell u, we do not want ur parrot..!!)

Eurofighter..I m game 4 it..

I wish Dassault had some stuff similar for Rafale..!

So if EFT is selected for IAF, then Raf might just b with the Navy, for its 2nd Aircraft carrier.

I was wondering, a few days back when Rafale was said to have been rejected as per media reports. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/french-rafale-out-of-race-for-iaf-fighters/447745/2 http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=4042443 So now that Rafale is in the final 2, what were the possible reasons ...

..any insights on how the 2 Delta Canards have performed in the NATO led A2G campaign over the Libyan territory ?
This perhaps is the first time, either draws blood in the battle.

Last post deleted owing to Hindi/ Devnagri. Honestly I didnt know that some of the people couldnt read Hindi here. Apologies if this violates the clause of participation in a discussion in an Indian forum. 1) FA -18 failed at High altitude tests. 2) F-16 if bought allowed India to have F-35 as a fut...

<del>


what's the point of writing in devnagri and that too without a translation ?
especially when a number of people who read this forum do not read or understand it ?

^^^^ This IND-igen-I-s-A-tion of Eurofighter would mean smthn like the real Katrina. Brit mom & Indian Kashmiri dad. So what we'll eventually have is an IND-eURO-Fighter. But then the question is are we going to do an MKI here the way we did it with Su-30. The word is "भारतीयकरण" for भ...

Hi there...
Been away for a while..
Guys, something's been worrying me for a while.

How deadly does this thing get for the India skies and how good will our beloved MRCA prove to be...?

Lovely pics..!! Although I m a die hard EF fan, there is something that makes Rafale a class apart. The reason EADS & Dassault parted ways in the Delta Canard fighter program was the fact that EADS wanted a Hard core Air Superiority Combat Aircraft. Dassault on the other hand, wanted a Fighter t...

By the way if f-16 is out, SH isnt any better...

I remember watchin "Behind Enemy Lines" where both F/A-18 pilots fall prey to SAM fire by the Russian backed Serbs.
The funny part is, Owen Wilson was flying the SH for Aerial photography of mass graves.

Worth a watch...!!

Russians don't give arms to Pak....

nrshah
"We are free to do whatever, but russians they should be always be good to us... Don't give arms to pak and China,"

With all due respect sir, Russians sell loads of arms to the Chinese, MiGs and Sukhois inclusive.

Gripen NG is LCA itself. It does not fulfill the role of an MMRCA to be really frank. The above report about Russian mismanagement of defence ties shows the level of corruption and moral deterioration that has crept inside the Kremlin doors not withstanding capable leaders like Putin. Its not a bad ...

How much of a strategic advantage are we to gain against the Chinese PLAN in a scenario at the Indian Ocean...

Totally in agreement with Christopher....

"Fear not the weapon but the hand that wields it.."

Avid ...take a look... The officials confided that four of the five aircraft in the MMRCA competition faced problems starting up in the rarefied atmosphere of Leh, and the IAF had to ask the manufacturers to undertake modifications in the aircraft's fuel systems. http://beta.thehindu.com/news/articl...

IAF seems to have been told to shut up by d' south block post IBN7. If EF wins, which if (..IAF, South & North Block and..)God willing... 2 things must be done. 1) Reduce the cost of production per Unit by INDI-geN-ising production making it accessible n affordable to RAF n Luftwaffe who had to ...

Shiv...

Its Stealth and not F-35 that I speak of.

Its jus that F-35 has it and I'd like EFT to have it too in the Indian Version.

Guys... We need some serious Stealth here..!! Thats how we'll get our much needed air-superiority.. When Navy has been getting one stealth frigate after another, why has the Air Force been left behind.. Are we going to fly these planes to Sichuan and Schezwan showing off their butts with heat signat...

Ok frens... Some inside news. From sm1 in IAF. EFT will win the bid for IAF. Rafale however will not be the loser. It will find its place for the Navy bid since its already doin well as a carrier based fighter. Although it inherits its current design features from the Mirage family, its still a figh...

By the way. the Eurofighter and the Rafael, both carry the same ACX DNA. Except that size and cost being on the higher side when it comes to EF, Rafael is a ligher and much more agile/maneuverable machine due to its proven Air Carrier Landing capability. However, EF has room to add more. It depends ...

ITs Rafael n the Eurofighter it this report is to be believed. http://www.timesnow.tv/New-fighters-for-Indian-Air-Force/articleshow/4351233.cms Producing components in India can vastly reduce costs, as with Boeing and dassault systems, who outsource much from India. F-35 consortium can benefit as we...

http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-8995.html My bet is still F-35. Funding from India can accelerate the production and subsequent delivery. By the time PAK-FGFA is ready, we'll already have some muscle in air. Come to think of it, UK contributed only $ 2 billion. India can afford much more ...

If you asked me personally, we are yet to operate a US designed aircraft. But given a choice, knowing that F-22 Raptor is still inaccessible, there is hope in F-35. We need to understand that India faces CLEAR & PRESENT DANGER on both the EASTERN and WESTERN Frontiers. An Aircraft which is less ...

Having DPRK/ North Korea as their छोटा जोडीदार in the sea of Japan, Chinese have already exercised their supremacy in the East. Every time they want to poke the Yanks via the DPRK, they can jus tell their छोटू to sink a South Korean ship and create a mess. With the Paki-DPRK relations being facilita...

Ask the Americans for F-22s. The US Congress isnt givin it to anybody, not even the Brits. But if India can fight it out for that kind of Tech, its truly a strategic partnership. F-35s are still under research, however, in the present times, if we have to fight on two fronts, the only bird that can ...
