India at Early Stages of Considering Whether it Wants the F-35 Stealth Fighters

[Abdul Rehman Majeed]

I smell something burning.

Yeah Check your ***.

 

[Hephaestus]

Let me educate you dumb Indians.

Your Trasport Aircrafts were from Ukraine.

Your naval turbines were from Ukraine.

You better payback now per the orders of your Western masters.

Where is your next dole out coming from you extra bright Pakistani? $1.4B is what you need inn'it

Yeah Check your ***.

It seems like you just found out about the internet & are pooping all over. You remind me of Quagmire when he discovered Internet P**n

 

[datafreak]

A dumb post only Indians are capable of.

Low observable means stealth.

Stealth does not mean it disappears from the radars.

It is just hard to detect and harder to destroy.

Even F-22 can be detected.

'Low observable' doesn't automicatially mean stalth. All stealth is low observable but all low observable is not stealth. If you put RAM on JF 17 it might make it lower in observability but not setalth because in radar it will still look like a big flying bowl.

But an F22 is low observable matching the profile of a bumblebee.

You should stick to putting in troll posts.

 

[Genghis khan1]

I'm at the early stage of considering between F22 or Tempest as my private jet.

I just retired SR-71from my fleet of private jets.

what transports are from Ukraine ?

 

[Dalit]

It is no brainer to purchase 40 F-35s irrespective of the terms and conditions

Are you going to sign the contract on behalf of the IAF?

That guy is a massive troll. Please don't take anything he says seriously.

Missing in action: Why Antonov AN-32 is India's most troubled aircraft​

The IAF has over 100 AN-32s which play a critical role in equipping India's frontline forces. India was the launch customer for the AN-32, which was bought from the former Soviet Union and built in Ukraine.​

[White and Green with M/S]

That is what the dumb Indians have been saying a decade ago about their SU-30 being the Raptor of the east and we have seen how they finally got shot in their *** by PAF F-16s.

The only reason India bought Rafales was they got good kickbacks from the French as part the deal.

French judge tasked with investigating Rafale fighter jet sale to India

A French judge has been tasked with investigating a controversial 2016 multi-billion-dollar sale of Rafale fighter jets to India on “corruption” suspicions, the national financial prosecutors’ office…

Do you see any Indians talk about their SU-30 now after the Feb 2019 defeat?

No because their propaganda has fallen flat.

The same will repeast when our J-10s bring down Indian Rafales.

They are improving in every field don't underestimate your enemy dude

 

[Corax]

So what happened to the super duper AMCA?

 

[migflug]

We wont be getting F35, not in this decade for sure!! Neither will America sell us because of S400, nor would we be able to buy it in high numbers because of its high cost, along with our own indigenous 5th gen AMCA going on!!

 

[That Guy]

F-35 is unlikely to be considered by India. The current government has gone full bore on indigenisation and has given support to building blocks towards 6th Gen aircraft.

Technologies being developed and expertise gained in LCA MK II and TEDBF is going to be the building blocks towards AMCA. The first iteration may not be as stealthy and as capable. That isn’t expected either and development and improvement can keep going on.

The cost of F-35 is another factor that might be a deterrent. India shouldn’t and wouldn’t spend the kind of money required to acquire and operate these machines.

Generally any military hardware offered by the US is known openly, which has’t happened in this case. Participation of F-35 was probably just a symbolic support to an airshow and US just wanted to display the bonhomie.

India should go the route of South Korea, if I'm being honest.

India did learn a lot from its other projects, but it doesn't have the expertise to build a 5th gen alone.

Better to go for a 4.5 Gen with 5th gen capabilities, like the KF-21, and upgrade it later, rather than go full throttle on a 5th gen right off the bat. India also desperately needs help with stealth technology which it can get from the US, or a shittier Russian version (better than nothing, I suppose).

 

[mike2000 is back]

Why would China sell any of it's components to allied world
What kinda stupid question that is?

Outside of western allied world there are very few to non existent air forces infact only north Korea and Pakistan comes to mind as countries that are non allied with an air force

Middle Eastern qnd North African countries as well. They have bought other weapons from China, However, they prefer Western fighter jets for obvious reason.

The An-32s were technically purchased from the USSR. Ukraine inherited a lot of the Antonov facilities. It does not make it a Ukrainian deal.

Really?????? Is that your list??

All of those are allied nations except for Algeria and Ethiopia

Ethiopia can't muster any amount of reasonable money to buy anything while as Algeria has been traditional buying Russian stuff but soon that may change as it has been recently starting to buy Chinese stuff.

Iran is under sanctions neither Russia or China will sell it stuff for now

To the degree China cannot sell their combat aircraft it speaks for the product
You conveniently ignored Chinese imports of Su-35s or fitting of JF-17s with Russian engines

Ukraine does the maintenance and upgrades.
