And if it’s supposedly a step behind Rafale, then tell me—does Rafale’s radar even have an ultra–side-lobe antenna? Is it even an LPI radar? Is it capable...

CM Ji, JSF is out of picture for India. Su-57 will require heavy investment from us to make it worthy -- think of all of above mentioned avionics and sensors we will have to put into it. I don't know how mature is engine tech for it and how to address issues IAF had earlier when it pulled out of thi...

Sumeet

CM ji, I think AMCA produced locally will be a far better bet than this mix. All we need to do is do this in accelerated fashion. For a fighter jet we primarily need: 1. Airframe & Aerodynamics (including RF/IR spectrum optimization) 2. Flight control system 3. Engine and Engine Control system 4...

Good reply admiral. Rafale is the best purchase that India could do. Even in another world (if circumstances were not like current geo political scenario) JSF would never have become reality in IAF (imagine -- LCA, AMCA and JSF all at mercy) EF Typhoon lost for reasons like too many quarrels amongst...

In our next meeting with MBS we should make public statement in an open press conference directly at Jai Shankar or PM level that any misadventure from TSP against India will invoke military response on lines of Op Sindoor and our friends or partners should be aware of it. Its not aggression against...

Thanks Rakesh and Bala. For 114 Rafale order at a minimum we should get [176 total Rafales should help us put forward our choices from position of strength]: GaN Based AESA (whether RBE2 or Uttam Mk2) GaN based Jammers as part of Spectra along with other upgrades necessary for aircraft self protecti...

India lacks good/proper program management for strategic programs. These should have been planned upfront when 36 rafales were inducted. Every piecemeal acquisition implies poor planning and thought leadership at the high levels. If you have 1 exam wonder boys/girls as IAS poobahs in charge of defe...

Knowing the Indian capabilities revealed in Operation Sindoor, what can Pakistan do to protect itself from those capabilities? For instance, evacuate their planes beyond the Indus to be safe from the IAF. Build more runways in airbases. Convert highway stretches to air strips. Have new trailer-base...

For foreseeable future our need is not power projection world over. We will be more of coastal Navy in our own region (500-600 miles) from our coast line. Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and parts of Indian ocean close to us is what we need to secure. A land based AWACS with good aircraft range should su...

I am very well aware of ASPJ project. I am talking about escort jamming, its different. We need those along with weapons like Spear EW to penentrate IADs.

Sumeet

We need to invest in dedicated jamming platforms.

If not that then atleast dedicated escort jammer like Scorpius EW system. Upgraded Super Sukhoi could be the best platform for this.

Add 5-7 AWACS (EL 2090) and as many Netra as we can add. We need a fleet of 20.

50 more Rafale F4.2[/list]
20 AWACS might be an overkill. Also, as good as Rafales's are, we need Tejas MK2 pronto.

Given how many fronts we could be fighting at and our landmass area we need those many.
