This is one of the best cricket articles I’ve ever read - Karthik Krishnaswamy on the Harbhajan performance in 2001 against Australia.

on why F 35 is already obsolete. It's clear that TEDBF is very much need of time, 5 generation stealth is dead. F-35 is neither obsolete and nor is 5th gen stealth dead , The only problem with it is that its expensive and requires more maintanence than your avg 4.5 gen fighter . The Forbes article ...

F-18SH is launched by catapults and TEDBF will be a skijump launch ... Makes a huge difference in what a fighter is capable of carrying Does that mean that the performance of TEDBF on our INS VISHAL would be at par or better than F-18?

Better to spend the money on getting the best upgrade possible and fo...

Why are we aiming low? Both twin engine and TEDBF by default will have more composite materials, so should be lighter than F-18. Wy does the TED_BF carry lower weight than F-18 super hornet?

I like Rafale approach. Wait for long and buy only a couple of squadron citing whatever issue. That approach also "wastes" quite a lot of years tbh, Yes low Rafales open up space for Mk2/MWF but the delay means that you're spending 12-15 years on evaluating, negotiating, building a produc...

For once, Rohit scored when India needed the runs and not when India is comfortably placed and that too on a difficult pitch. I don't know how much longer the team can carry Rahane.

^^^Agree with most of what you say but this: But until recently, we didn't have the confidence that we could even dream of an MK2, let alone an AMCA or a TEDBF. We didn't have confidence but decided to build the lightest, smallest fighter jet in the world with a indigenous engine, quad-FBW, composi...

I think it would have been quite a leap of faith to go along with this (or MWF) when Tejas itself was not fully realized as a program and there were still doubts about how it would progress and how IAF would accept it I wouldn't call it a leap of faith. More like a lack of foresight or God forbid, ...

Given terrain, Coin requirements we cannot standardize we would need 2 3 typesof ammo based on open area fighting or close quarter combat. The odd one out seems to special forces using 5.45 ×45.

If we shortlist mig 35 with India specific enhancements and integrate our stuffs like Uttam AESA, and other equipments developed for MWF and indigenous weapons like Astra mk1, astra mk2, Rudram series, Saw etc. then it will come very cheap and the money saved can be used to buy 36 more Rafales and ...
