Re: Indian Single Engined Multi Role Fighter with Transfer of Manufacturing Technology

To abandon the LCA in favour of a 50yr old hag like the F-16,which our mortal enemy the Pakis fly,would be an act of supreme dishonesty,duplicity and make a mockery of the "make in India" mantra that hangs above the door of this supposedly pro-desi govt.We will become the laughing stock o...

Re: Indian Single Engined Multi Role Fighter with Transfer of Manufacturing Technology

Bingo! The only thing it will not be a match for are 5th gen platforms, which neither the Chinese nor the Pakis are likely to get in numbers at least till 2030. The Chinese might field substantial J-20's and J-31's numbers in Tibet and their Far East airfields, but by the time those numbers are ava...

Why is the argument being made that f16 will be out of date. If we get the line, I am sure, it will be upgraded from blk 70 overtime. It will never be a f35, bUT throughout its life it will remain a significant fighter produced in volume. The Ariframe will likely remain the same.Thats a big issue i...

Already in Paki media the narrative has shifted to something happened or they tr8ed but failed.So even their own media isnt buying this.I hope India just leaks the footage to the media esp. Some western lobby and then watch Zaheel Shareef Squirm.
