Re: Vayusena & Nausena Rafale: News & Discussion
Instead of 114 Rafales, we should have got 1,000+ M88 engines and based our Tejas series on it.
I am hoping this will be a viable path for Mk2/AMCA as well.

Whatever tech we are trying to get from there, unless it's fully absorbed, it can be cut off at whim and fancies of any new thumpavatars.
For the life of me, I cannot understand, we have clear requirements to buy from USA - ge engines - clear way to reduce the trade deficit between bharat and USA.

This is like the entry level job fallacy.
Entry level guy can't get a job because he has no experience.
We need to start at some point and allow for faults and mistakes while also trying to pick the most promising candidate to succeed in learning and improving on the job

with the CPEC in shambles.. this maybe a blessing for Cheen to use as pretext to drop CPEC. they anyways got the monies they wanted to get.
