^ I agree. AMCA must be fast tracked. Not sure what’s worse: kill switch amriki F35 or barely 5th gen Russi SU-57 or a decade with Pakistanis having chini 5th gen.
Perhaps we need a different thread to keep this about the 114 Rafales

Re: MRCA (Many Rakshaks Choose Aircraft) Contest - Episode III
I am inclined to agree with Rakesh. It makes no sense to pivot from Rafale to the Su-35. Dassault has built partnership within India over multiple years. The navy jets are purchased, they are setting up domestic manufacturing and safran will build the engines for AMCA. I do not see how the babus wil...

Re: MRCA (Many Rakshaks Choose Aircraft) Contest - Episode III
^i think we need a few more committees and a few more panels to come to the same conclusion before we put an order in for 114 rafales in 2035.
Also, why wait for the AMCA execution model to be finalized? Are they planning on ordering 114 AMCAs?

With Putin’s anticipated visit to India in the final quarter of 2025; I really think we need a separate thread on the PAK FA / SU-57.

Reason why this Ceasefire narrative is not going down well with many in India public---> 1) Many feel damage should have been much more on Pak side... 2) Pakis are going around declaring it as some sort of victory while Indians are very silent about it... 3) There seems to be no regret on Pak side ...
