IAF mulls F-35 order

[randomradio]

Yeah, that's the way to look at it!
As Anant_S pointed out above, the IAF has a main mount
in the SU-30 all of which are not in yet and a new fave
in small numbers coming and a project that needs TLC.

But as the FGFA option soured due to development delays
also incurred by the F-35, the timelines are now convergent.

I wouldn't say alternative then but rather competitor. India
should pit them at each other despite the differences. SU-57
offers more transfer of lesser technology vs less transfer of
better technology for the F-35. Then again the ToT route exists
for the former & is yet to create ( LSA-CISMOA-BECA ) with the latter.

Let's be honest, if the LCA had been on time,
this news would have fallen flat on its face.

Great day all, Tay.

How is 100% production of a variable cycle engine (which the F-35 doesn't have) and the entire digital GaN avionics suite (which the F-35 doesn't have) "lesser technology"? All of this combined with 50% ownership rights.

You sure are quick to downgrade the IAF whenever you can, aren't you?

Not the IAF at all in this case but I'm done
caring about what you don't understand.

Sincerely sorry, Tay.

Yep. Always seen you talk crap, get called for it and then run away.

Sincerely sorry, Tay.

Yes, you should be.

We should have begged for F-35 by letting them way to Afghanistan and return for killing OBL. and get few insulting tweets from Trumpy in return. Shame.

Playing sassy tough guy on Internet, are we now?
Thousands of kliks away, the kitty roars like a lion?

And of course unable to understand sincerity!

I won't insult you in return; there's no point.

Best of lives.

Forget about TOT with F-35. The answer will be “Hell no” and India know it. Even the PDF Indian.

US would charge a premium as India would ruin the reputation of F-35 with shoddy maintenance.

The chances of it getting it's behind kicked in Indian hands is very high
If anyone can fcuk it up India can

That is why US will not sell its front line fighters to India. Won’t cast pearls before a swine.

Dude, you are incapable of being sincere. You prove that time and time again. Let me dish it out in your own language.

Always seen you talk crap, get called for it and then run away. How very French.
