National interest trumps all sadly.

WASHINGTON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Three Republican U.S. senators said on Friday they filed legislation to exempt India from sanctions for purchasing a Russian S400 missile defense system, citing the importance of working with allies to stand up against China. The bill, from Senators Ted Cruz, Todd...

Not that easy, I'm afraid. Theoretically it is possible but there'd have to be significant structural and internal modifications to the airframe, rather than just a simple replacement job. Might end up adding a few years to your Tejas project. However it's still just a possibility, you might...

I see. My bad. I misunderstood your posts in context of the latter.

I know buying rather than making our own is not the preferable route, but just out of curiosity, would the Chinese GJ-11 provide somewhat similar capability as this?

This is the kind of shit our neighbors post a day before the match. Glad to see this aged well. Man it's a good day to be a Pakistani:pakistan:

Gut feeling: This is gonna be an insanely close match.

My friend, everything not Chinese is not necessarily a waste. One of the advantages of being cash strapped is that you learn to use your money in the best possible way. That is precisely what our armed forces do, whether it be on Chinese procurements or Western. As for your indigenous weapons...

Firstly, I meant T-129 as the last instance where we chose a Western option over a Chinese one. We always go for the best bang-for-buck. The Chinese weapons come with no strings attached, therefore it makes sense to use that route for major strategic assets like the HQ-9. But to say we always...

Not entirely true sir, we have chosen western options over Chinese ones in the past, T-129s being the most recent example if I'm not wrong. The fact that it didn't materialize has nothing to do with funds either. That plus the Chinese are more than willing to tweak and improve their products...

With that 500km combat range, it might just be a one-way trip just like Squadron Leader Brij Pal Sakand who quite ironically, fainted at hearing the name of Pakistan. https://www.hilal.gov.pk/eng-article/detail/ODQ0.html

Could've practiced a bit before calling on the photographers, the formations looked quite uneven and odd. Anyway, how many have been delivered to the IAF so far?

I think it's safe to assume this system might end up being on par with S-400s in the future, taking into consideration constant upgrades by the Chinese and their knack for buying the Russian hardware and improving upon it until they make their own competitor equal or higher than their Russian...

Man, if your generals think like you do, we're gonna have alot of fun in the future :cheesy: Secondly, buying every weapon in the market does not equal military strength. If that was the case, Israel would've been wiped out years ago by the Arabs. Yet, they persist. A country's armed forces is...

You're gearing up against a country that is challenging the current world order and might end up changing it, much to it's own favour. This so called 'revamp' better be of Biblical proportions or you're gonna have @siegecrossbow 's profile picture, only 10000x worse.

Do I see something similar to Dassault's Fighter Sphere Tablet on the pilot's right knee or am I going crazy?

Going down that road, this club would make PSG and Man City look like child's play unfortunately, solely due to the Saudis having 10x more financial resources. The beautiful game's getting ugly.

Cleared the test alhumdullilah. 40 mcqs in total were out of syllabus/incomplete. One of the physics questions relating to AC/DC was particularly hard, I memorized it, came home and googled it, it turned out to be a question from bachelor's of electronic engineering.... Anyhow, the entire...

Sir, as a premed who's going to give the PMC MDCAT in the morning (wish me luck), I can testify that their testing system is BS. They have given each student a specific date between 30th Aug and 30th Sept, where the student shall go and give the entrance exam online. 30 different papers for 30...
