If Adani wins this then god help us all. Adani has no experience doing any R&D. At most they put on white labels on Israeli missiles. They will create a very sub par aircraft copying whatever they can get their hands on and cutting corners. Then Adani’s friends in govt will make it illegal/unpat...

No private bids on the development of AMCA…. Not sure an additional 30 day extension will make a difference.

It’s a complicated and tough undertaking. I am afraid if this goes exclusively to HAL again; we will not be seeing the AMCA until 2050.

After Operation Sindoor, IAF seeks more Rafales to stem depletion of fighter squadrons

We should ask the Israelis for dirt on this pedophile. This will make all the tarrifs go away.

bkswarti

It appears to me that a G2G deal regarding the Su-57 is imminent. Likely when Putin comes to India later this year. Most likely the tariffs are trumps way of pushing for Lockheed Martin’s lobby.

bkswarti

^ 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

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...

^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?

bkswarti

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. Putin’s first priority will be selling the Su-57 so they can get their own manufacturing underway. So I believe Putin will be ready to transfer whatever tech India wa...

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 ...

This is the third or fourth wave of drone attacks. I know Pakistan is pretty stupid but could there be a sinister reason behind this? Is there perhaps a bigger attack planned by them? Are they they assessing our SAM sites? Are they just filling the skies up so it may lead to a friendly fire by our A...

Another round of drone attack in Jammu. Pakistanis won’t learn. They won’t de escalate. We need to teach them to de escalate like we did in ‘71.

Why is only the Indian side telling numbers, why so many leaking out of details? It should be confidentiality, or ambiguity like - some casualties.

No reason to be dwell on optics to see who suffered more casualties right now. We all knew that if anyone will initiate an escalation in that area; it will be China. So it’s obvious that they will make the first hit. No need to think that our Army isn’t capable of putting a tough resistance. We were...
