You are right as well as dead wrong.

First part is right. Anything can happen from here. Infact I would rate the chances at even lower than 30%.

Second part is dead wrong. Approving 200 x J35 = atleast 14-17 Billion USD. Read it again and you might laugh it off yourself. You know the reason too.

yet, even with a lower budget, you consistently got your arse beat?

7th May was a good show by the PAF.

Later on, was a different story altogether and has been discussed to death.

I don’t see a common ground for later dates. I would leave it at that.

good stuff, could use these new Tejas connected to GPU's as gap filler radars perhaps.

Maybe stick them on a ramp pointed at the sky? Could always strap a missile to them and turn them into a pantsir like sam, radar, missile etc all on one chassis. good stuff.

Ha ha ha. Good attempt at baiting me. Not falling for it.

I have already said what I wanted to, many times already.

Or to put it simply on 7th May PAF soundly kicked IAF butt (again). Your later on ‘different story altogether’ is only relevant to Indians like you who are desperate to grab onto anything they can to cope with that butt kicking.

Indians are so scared to admit 7 May losses they have to hide behind absolute absurdity like 'Sindoor is still ongoing/on pause'. It matters so much to their fragile ego, because they know the real fallout of admitting those numbers....

A scalp cost about $2million per missile, so that that is 150 units on a good day, a meteor costs about $2.2, so this is not exactly a "large order"..

150 isn't a small order by any metric. And this is an interim until domestic equivalents like Hunter are realised that can produced entirely inhouse.

Probably more will be acquired with the 114 Rafale contract. Navy too have likely bought them last year.

Sweden's defence firm SAAB says Gripen fighter jet has place in IAF

SAAB proposes Gripen E fighter jets to enhance India's aerospace industry and bolster the Indian Air Force's capabilities.

Well well. The Swedish seem desperate to sell the Gripen. Gripen E has a lot of foreign non Swedish components.

It is literally their job to sell the plane, and now they know Tejas is not coming to the rescue for IAF maybe they think they can sell some 4th gen Gripens as they move on to their own 5th Gen programme.
