Re: VayuSena Rafale: News and Discussions - 17 Oct 2016

It was India that got cheated. Pakistan got almost 30 percent land and only 15% population including the most fertile delta in east Pakistan. All the debt India got. While Pakistan started debtless. India started with 85% population and only 70% land. I also believe that India got the short end of ...

J-10 is much better than JF 17 but still worse than manuvourbility and avionics, leaving the PL 15 propaganda and JF 17 ACM 400 aside, with Al 31 engines etc it will be much costlier than to operate than JF 17. It will also kill the Chinese export potential of the JF 17. Plus I suspect China might ...

At this stage in the game, F404-IN20 is the way to go. Let them commence with the production of the Mk1A (as per their schedule) and not add any new complications i.e. a better F404 turbofan. The screwdrivergiri of the F414 turbofan will be good for India, when her own turbofan for the AMCA comes o...
