jokes apart
it does look like IAF will go with Rafales and Navy will go with F/A 18 Superhornets
and Pakistanis will continue to buy JF17
Coz it’s all they can afford
Since no other country will offer soft loans to purchase combat aircraft
Tejas has managed to take off and land from INS Vikramaditya
However it cannot take off with adequate fuel and weapons
Even the Mig29k can only take off with 4 A2A/ ASHM missiles from the carrier
If we want to launch Mig29K with its full combat load of 4 R77, 2 R73 and 2 Kh135 AshM, then it...
not necessarily
We had 44 Mig29K/kubs out of which Vikramaditya could only accommodate 24 Mig29
Hence the second squadron was deployed in Leh in support of IAF
F/A18 E/F Superhornet has a better chance of winning the Indian navy deal becoz of its Foldable wings which would allow NAVY to deploy...
We need the jets for INS Vikrant which is undergoing Basin trials at the moment and will be ready by 2022
Vikrant can carry 26-30 Fighters and 9 Helicopters
Our present fleet of 44 Mig29K/Kubs are not enough to equip both carriers
Project 75I must go to L&T
Mazagaon docks already has a lot on its plate
We need to have 2 shipyards capable of producing SSKs, so that when we begin replacing the Kilo class with a domestic design in 2030, we would be in a position to build 2 subs simultaneously
however
The current government...
Gurkhas dont just live in nepal
We can do without the 6000 Nepali Gurkhas serving in Indian Army
That still leaves 40000 Gurkhas who were born in India
If Nepal does rewoke the friendship treaty
Then the only impact will be on the night watchmen and Momos industry
I thought most PIA Pilots were ex PAF, or atleast that was the narative here in PDF
Shouldnt the Government regulator and Aviation Minister be held accountable for hiring 100s of unqualified Pilots
As long has Bangla PMs continue to remain in bed with India, thats unlikely to happen
Sheikh Hasina is in power becoz of Indian Money
She wont do anything to break from this cozy relation
I believe OLi is on suicide mission
he is trying to get Amit Shah Angry
last time Amit Shah Went Crazy, thousands of innocents died in Gujarat
this time it could be a coup in Nepal with Oli getting forced to seek protection in the Chinese Embassy
we already have su30mki and Mig29 in service for over 20 yrs
We have extensive training and service infrastructure for them
Adding 21 Mig29UPG and 12 Su30MKI is a logical and cost effective option , given the fact that these jets would be delivered in 6months and pilots can begin using them in...
Good effort at trolling
50 cents well spent by the CCP
T-90S Weigh only 46 tons
And can be air lifted by our fleet of C17 and IL76 heavy lift aircrafts
Arjun weighs in at 68 tons and is not suitable for mountain terrain
Hence its deployed in the plains of Punjab and Rajasthan
I also have clips of dead Chinese soldiers with their eyeballs gauged out
U want me to post them here
Or better do you want to see the photos of dead Pakistani soldiers left behind in kargil when u ran away
If China wants a war
They will get one
But it will be in Tibet
We organized Mukti Bahmi with 100000 bengalis
We have 700000 Tibetan gurrelas which the chinese will have to fight in Tibet
