Why india should buy F35

[a.kumar]

I know the difference between heavy and med class. But amca can be optimised to carry out different mission. We can develop different variants for it. And yes if f35a comes to airforce than f35b&c will go to navy for sure.

Or more better will be to scrap rafale and buy f35 as as they cost same more or less with fgfa . Best scenario will be f35+fgfa+amca.

So You Run that Blog ??

AMCA Air frame is optimized for Strike profile since it will be replacing Jaguars and Mig-27 . Making Variant of Stealthy aircrafts is not easy as developing non stealthy aircrafts. If Navy wants Stealthy fighter , why not Naval AMCA like Naval LCA ?? If we ditch FGFA then which aircraft will supersede Su-30s ??

Your Best scenario of f35+fgfa+amca means 3 different Stealthy aircraft which even US (F-22,F35) and China (J-31,J-20) cannot afford .to operate due to budgetary concerns .

non sense. Can F 35 can come anywhere closer to FAGFA no. PAKFA is the most agile plane in the world where the F35 is least agile.

but F-35 is when in full production almost the same price as rafale

then instead of 4 squads of rafale two or three squads of F-35 are way much much more leathel than rafales so why waste owr money on rafales

F-35 and PAKFA will be in IAF fleet soon.

All im saying is that f35 will be better than rafale at same cost

The F 35 has energy maneuverability like an f 18 hornet with the acceleration of an F 16 block 50. It has really great high AoA properties. See for yourself in LM F 35C high aka testing and f 35a video on YouTube.

At comparable loadings it will out accelerate most contemporary fighter jets. However due to it being a slow fighter like mki and hornet it is bad at high agility maneuvering.



That you s not even considering the sensor fusion it boasts.

Problem is we are struggling to run the mki upgrade, fgfa and mmrca program simultaneously. This F 35 would create a perfect storm that can cripple our logistics chain.

1. We should go for Gripen.
2. We should go for SU-35
3. We should go for Super Sukhoi
4. We should go for Pak-FA
5. We should go for FGFA.
6. We should go for F-35 and simultaneously consider 2-3 squadron of F22 Raptor.
7. We should go for Rafele..<36 already there...nuf no..>
8. We should go for Typhoon <can't trust on Frenchies...they are very stubborn and dragging the MMRCA>
9. Ohh USA is also offereing us its latest and the most successful fighter plane of world -> F16IN we should definetly go for this as they promised for a unbelivable cost and manufacturing base in India.
10. We should go for Tejas MK2, MK3,...MK???
11. We should go for AMCA.
12. We should go for even JF thunder....<it will make pakistani think twice to attack as we know their secrets>
13. We should go for J10, J20 as an obvious reasons mentiones at point 12.
14 we should partner with Japan with its fifth gen fighter programme.
15. We also can partner with Israel...may be in future they have their own programme.
16. we can reconsider F18 super hornet as well.
17..we should go for Mig 31 as well...why the hell we are not replacing Mig with Mig...

did i miss something??..and this will make our airforce a truly global airforce.
see by going like this we are not dependent on any country and can have our non aligned policy intact.
