I personally love the EFT - but if it does not suit Indian requirements then we should not buy it, which is not saying that it's a bad plane - it's one of the best in the world but just not suited for the role which the MRCA required.
Actually the bit about the 166 single seat Pak Fa was quoted by the air chief marshal in an interview - I'll try to find it for you.

Meteor on the MKI will make it unbeatable in BVR(Among 4th gen fighters).
Engines might not be enough when RAM and other goodies are added(extra weight). Even now the T/W ratio is only 1.01, I think the 117S of the su35bm might be a good option.
I can't wait to find out the configuration of this super sukhoi.
Which radar will it use?? how much rcs will be reduced?? are we getting new, more powerful engines with 3d tvc??are we getting new bvr missiles - the rvv sd maybe in place of the rvv ae??
USA will block any sales of ATGMs from Israel to India like they did with the AESA radar(elta 2052). So Israel as an option is out.

Either way - I would try to get such material banned from my country and ignore it.
I certainly would not want to go around burning the Embassy of any country nor would I go around killing their ambassador.
Indeed I am. Amazing Books and the TV series do them justice.
Certain people offend you and your religious sentiments and you respond by killing their Ambassador and burning their embassies - hurting people who had nothing to do with the printing of said cartoon or making of said video. This is not an equal reaction - this is textbook definition of...
The T90s should be moved to Ladakh - the cold climate is what it is suited for and they should perform better there as compared to the deserts of Rajasthan.

IKEA has given their reasons - which according to me are pretty reasonable. They are not against sourcing 30% from Indian manufacturers but are against the rule that these 30% need to be small scale industries which have very small revenue( I think the limit is 1 million) , If a company like...
It's business. People here are over reacting - Pakistanis are thinking Russia is overnight going to become their strategic ally and without Pakistan Russia has no power is central asia and Indians are thinking that their long time ally Russia will never go and do business with their long time...
False news - no way is India gonna spend this much amount in 1 year.
It's probably the net worth of all the deals we'll be signing in this year - which means we'll be paying this amount over a period of 5-10 years.
