Chinese J-20 stealth fighter not cause for concern, Rafale too has stealth features: Air Marshal

[Blue Marlin]

J 20 is not a threat at all ; we dont take it seriously at all

It is a work in progress ; Rafale will take care of it

China has a long way to go before it catches up with Russia and France

whatever makes you sleep happily buddy.
nightmares are the worst, have you imagined the french taking the uk over in your sleep?

Denial mode at its best. Like how some Indian who still brag GSLV Mk 3 is going to have more heavy payload than CZ-5 rocket.

J-20 is going to induct end of this year. J-20 can carry BVRAAM and WVR missiles in internal weapon which significantly reduce drag when flying and reduce RCS signature when going into combat. Unless Rafale carries only 30mm bullets in clean mode trying to take on J-20

Typical Indian big mouth, during 2015, an Indian member claim "End of the day in 6/8 months India will overtake China to become third only country to develop our own "INDIGENOUS" Semi cryogenic engine technology "

Typical little Chinese mind. We asked for help for our things. Just like you did years back. So get off the high horse.

I am all for your development efforts and this is good for Asia century. But please don't boast before its done.

Again, You did it. Excelled at it. Good. Now its our turn. Let us boast it anytime we wish. If you don't like it, you know where the close button is. Thanks.

By the Way J 20 is not going to be inducted for Five more years

And then we will get PAK FA - So No problems there for IAF

Hats Off Sir at your thinking..
Now you are comparing a aircraft made back in 2001 and the modern aircraft of 2018...
Grow Up..

 

[Cyberian]

Even India's Mig-21s are all stealth.

 

[Beast]

why are you bringing in the cz-5?
you high?

yes the chinese dont linger around especially in terms of defense, but tell me why are you highlighting the obvious? we know it can internally hold weapons, its a basic requirement of a 5th gen fighter.

Why I cannot bring in CZ-5 rocket? Many delusion Indians still think their GLSV MKIII is more superior than CZ-5 in terms of payload. Just like this joker trying to claim a Rafale dangling with weapons is going to beat a 5th gen fighter with internal weapon bay and RCS reduction. Both are in the same situation. There are many delusion bragging Indian which I need not remind you.

Chinese J-20 stealth fighter not cause for concern, Rafale too has stealth features: Air Marshal
Indian government is also seized of the importance of acquiring fighter aircraft with stealth features and this is why the Rafale aircraft being acquired from France has some special stealth features, said Air Marshal SB Deo.

Reacting to the the Chinese J-20 stealth fighter being unveiled earlier his week, the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief Western Air Command, Air Marshal SB Deo, said that it was not a cause for concern and that Rafael aircraft being inducted by India also had stealth features. On a visit to the Ambala air base, Air Marshal Deo said that the Indian government is also seized of the importance of acquiring fighter aircraft with stealth features and this is why the Rafale aircraft being acquired from France has some special stealth features. “The radial cross section of the aircraft is significantly smaller for an aircraft of that size. There are many other features too which I would not like to disclose at this stage,” he said.

Commenting on the Chinese J-20, which bears a strong resemblance to the UA Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, the AOC-in-C said that the aircraft seemed to posses front portal stealth features and not in the rear. “It is important to maintain stealth while using your radar equipment, while opening your bomb bay doors to fire and ensuring how a weapon can quickly come out of the rails and go out. I do not know how far this aircraft is stealth,” he said.

He added that the Fifth generation Fighter Aircraft (FGFA) which is being jointly developed by India with Russia focuses on stealth technology. Older technologies and old radars are very effective against stealth fighters, he said adding that it will be some time before the aircraft like J-20 are operationally fielded but the IAF was prepared.

Commenting on the haphazard construction around air force station perimeters at several places in the country, Air Marshal Deo said these were a potential security risk. “The security officers of the respective stations where such construction is observed, like in Ambala and Pathankot, go to the localities and educate the residents on the precautionary measures that they ought to take,” he said. He added that with advent of time and growth of cities the localities have crept closer to air force stations but due to enhanced security risk these days like the terror attack that took place in Pathankot, extra precautions must be taken by all.

He also said that the localities abutting air force stations were also at risk in case an air accident took place. He said there had been instances even in Ambala where an aircraft has had to abort take off or drop the bombs that it was carrying on the run way itself due to less engine thrust. “This could be very dangerous if not controlled in time,” he added. Giving information about the latest Jaguar crash which took place in Ambala in September this year, he said that this happened due to a bird getting ingested into the engine of the aircraft.

Defending the accident rate of the IAF, he said that the number of aircraft which met with accidents each year has been steadily going down as systematic issues concerning accidents have been addressed. “In 1980s we were losing around one squadron of aircraft each year due to accidents. When we push the envelope we face risks but now our numbers are very good,” he said.

Air Marshal defends himself in suicide case

Air Marshal SB Deo refuted the allegations being levelled on him in social media that he had manhandled or severely rebuked a Wing Commander in Air Force Station Sirsa following which the officer committed suicide. Wing Commander RK Tiwari had shot himself after an inspection had been carried out by the AOC-in-C in which his poor shooting skills were noticed. Air Marshal Deo said there seemed to be an orchestrated campaign against him and that he had not said anything to the deceased officer nor his family members had said anything to him when he met them. He said a Court of Inquiry will ascertain the real cause behind the incident.

J-20 is massive plane and easy be seen on radar ... it has non -Stealth Body ...esp canard.... Here ppl dont even know the Radar cross section of J-20 .. and start barging....

If ask china ppl what is Radar Cross section of J-20 , they will give dumb look, and ask you back what is radar cross section ?

dont generalise the statement when referring to the chinese government or their planners or their propagandist which are all around the world now , thanks to the sweat shop labor factories of china . let these jokers or clowns sitting in china or for that matter hong kong self boast themselves using state media . but the fact of the matter is , china is nowhere compared to russia and america and europe( rafale ) in defence capabilities . everything is secret and hidden about the capabilities , but propaganda is of the highest level about their so called made in china jets
on topic : if the air marshall has made a statement , that means he mean it and that is all i care , but any tom dick or harry possessing superficial tags on defence blogs making superficial statements is not worth a penny . bye for now

I remember one Air Marshal saying the LCA was an upgraded MIG-21...

Man...you Indies are really a delusional bunch...
