I'm reading these articles about new iteration of the MRFA Tender... One thing I observed is that these new articles are claiming that only 5 contendors are in place... Gripen, Rafale, F21, F/A18 and F15... Wonder what happened to MIG35, Su35 and Typhoon... If indeed only these five jets are in cont...

Does that mean that the SU30 will be retired without any replacement? Or there will be a follow up program for its replacement. I guess we will know the answer to this question post 2030... - Based on the numbers projected for AMCA and the timelines, AMCA will take us to 42 squadrons exactly by the...

IIRC, the previous Chief RKS Bhadauria ji made the following different statements in this order as his term progressed:- 1) IAF will buy around 200 Tejas Mk2 2) IAF will buy around 160 Tejas Mk2 3) IAF will buy atleast 120 Tejas Mk2 (This one I'm not sure he said it, but heard this number) 4) IAF wi...

What happened to the last Rafale that is supposed to be delivered in April with all ISEs...?
Any news or updates...?

LakshmanPST

ORCA was an IAF boondoggle to sink the TEDBF. So IN and higher-ups realized fast and decoupled it. The reason is the nation cannot afford three fighter plane programs for IAF: Tejas Mk2. AMCA and ORCA. Makes more sense to order 114 TEDBFm (2x 57) for IN and rotate the squadrons on carriers and stat...

LakshmanPST

I tend to believe that PLA will attack India before they attack Taiwan... I see some reasons... - 1) Right now, India is walking a tight rope diplomatically... In terms of public perception in West, India's neutral stand is being seen as pro-Russian stand... Russian side will anyway remain neutral.....

LakshmanPST

Ok, i think we should get a little careful here. I'm not sure why so many people are cheering for Russia here. I already posted the answer before in this thread and posting it again----> ---- Putin is taking on an enemy that is quite familiar to us---> US Deep State... I don't think many here want ...

LakshmanPST

Wonder if this is a good time to sign the deal or even bring out a news about CCS approval... I feel it will be better if we move all Russian files discreetly (or not move them at all) until the war is over... Aren't new MKI orders placed to HAL? I think new orders will only be assembly of CKD kits...

Pak is claiming that the missile was flying at 40000 feet at Mach 3 speed... But AFAIK, cruise missiles won't fly at that level... And they certainly can not be tracked 100km inside Indian territory when flying low... My guess is, Pakistan is lieing about tracking the missile at 40000 feet... In all...

LakshmanPST

Now the question is which missile was this and what are the secrets that the pakis can glean from the wreckage. As, according to the Pakis, this was unarmed, means that the chances of it getting destroyed is much less than it would have been if it was armed with explosives. Better hope it was just ...
