Why would India attack when (a) Pakistan has nuclear weapons and (b) India's reputation in the wider world would be utterly destroyed if there was no just cause and (c) India has never instigated a war? Please, use common sense.

I've never seen Pakistan in such disarray. Economic collapse, security collapse and diplomatic collapse. What a calamity!

I care about Indian defence. Believe it or not, if you Google "Indian defence forum", this sub-forum comes up. As you can see, I barely post. I have 40+ posts since 2014. So, yes, I don't care about Pakistan and 40 posts in 9 years is indicative of that. Hope this helps!

I don't care about Pakistan. Its a country with a GDP less than Ireland for heavens sake. You said "International media still doesn't mention India without mentioning Pakistan" now either you are talking in general, which is nonsensical as proven above, or talking about "South Asia" in which...

What nonsense! What absolute diatribe! Pakistanis really do want to be attached to India so they can garner some sort of relevance. So shameful. Feeling of tremendous inferiority. I have haphazardly checked the latest, and relevant, 5 articles from the Financial Times, Economist and Foreign...

Well, Pakistan's plan to use AFG as strategic depth and the Taliban as allies really worked out well. What a low IQ strategy.

You have to be very proud of India's restraint after the Mumbai attacks, they had valid grounds to strike those camps in Pakistan and the international community would have sided with India as Pakistan's reputation had gone down the gutter. Some might say the cowardly option but war is no good...

There are no Russian MiG-29s in Syria, only Su-24s, Su-25s, Su-34s and Su-30SMs and that's that. Those MiG-29s were Syrian MiGs, whether or not they were flown by Russian pilots is a different matter, but I doubt that too.

Part of me hopes Pakistan purchases Su-35s, even if they are in a relatively small number ~36. For two reasons: a) we will know where we stand with Russia, a sale of Su-35s to Pakistan will push us firmly towards the US/Israel/EU and also explore further partnerships with Japan and S.Korea. I'd...

Line. Of. Credit.

Feelings in, logic out. More like Russia has been hit hard by its sanctions, hence the T50/PAKFA issues, and are looking to sell as much they can to recover costs.

Wait, wait, wait, doesn't India have a knack for this? India ordered a set number of Su-30MKIs and then increased that order gradually India ordered a set number of MiG-29s and impressed by its performance and its suitability for its aircraft carriers it proceeded ahead with orders for the...

Was the Tejas' size parameters not restricted/built up around the MiG-21's size to make use of existing infrastructure? Sancho, what are your hopes for the Tejas Mk.II and AMCA? Both formidable and relevant fighters in 2020s or do you expect them to be disappointments?

All I want to know is...when will the bloody specs of the Tejas MK2/AMCA be frozen/released? Someone on here, I believe it was Sancho, pointed out the AMCA's internal weapons bay/payload was not looking promising.

Eurofighter alongside Rafale alongside PAK FA alongside Su-30MKI alongside Mirage-2000 alongside Tejas MK1/MK2 alongside AMCA alongside MiG-29s in the 2020s? Lol...

What's the source of that and what is that on pylon.8 (extra pylon)?

Hence why I said "faith"...

No one knows a single thing about the fighter jet, no one knows its internal fuel/weapon capabilities or its engine specs etc. etc. and the fact that the DM said "light, single engine aircraft" still leaves the door open for SAAB/Gripen. What this fighter needs is some faith and exports, once...

The relationship between India and France is remarkably strong. Is it on par with India's relationship with Russia and Israel now? Mirage upgrade, Rafale deal, Airbus tankers/AWACS, Scorpene and many more.

a) won't receive that radar, (b) F414 specs not fully released (earlier tweet mentioning something on this) and (c) no idea about the weight/fuel of the fighter.
