He was not prompted for it, he deliberately gave them in.

@Eşbah @hyperman

So the Americans are happy to let these F-35s fly around operational S400 infested areas in Jodhpur(i appreciate that India only has 2 operational squadrons left now post Sindoor but still..), but not for Türkiye to get these same F-35's delivered to Türkiye, even Turkish S400's sit unassembled in war houses..

Go figure ...

Of course, the Israelis have been flying F-35s near Latakia where the Russians had their own S-400 system active for decades. They just needed an excuse.
 
In all honestly what does India learn or gain from these exercises? It cannot network with any of the US aircraft, it cannot link to US AWACs and its fighters will all be easily tracked and destroyed from miles away by F-35s

This seems like a pure play PR stunt

The engine is ready because it has been under development for the last 40 years. It was originally designed for the Tejas with an afterburner. However, the Ghatak UCAV will take another 7–8 years to materialise.

Although its primary role is that of a stealth bomber, it can also fire air-to-air missiles if required. The Ghatak is a massive platform, weighing around 15 tonnes, compared to the Tejas, which weighs approximately 13 tonnes. Indian Air Force is expected to acquire 80 such drones, with their induction anticipated to begin after 2033.

This is a scaled-down version of the Ghatak UCAV, 15 times smaller than the original and weighing just 1 tonne. It was developed to test the Ghatak’s flight control laws, testing conducted in 2022.
 
The hardest step of an engine running thousands of hours vs running a few hrs is the metallurgy and india has no where near shown they have mastered the crucial step.

Now u need to make and break thousands of engines to exhaustion to work that part out.

So India has been operating Mirage 2000's all this time without any simulators? A bit late in the day to induct simulators for a platform that should be replaced by the Tejas, etc.

This is bizarre, did they really not have any Mirage 2000 simulators for 40 years!?

This is so cringe, I guess sometimes the most important thing is what is left unsaid. No real compliments for Sindoor...

I found this statement hilarious :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

"He acknowledged that some aspects of the operation are highly sensitive and that the decision on what can be disclosed rests with the IAF."

Yup, absolutely zero mention of Rafale performance by French Air chief in its first real peer to peer combat test.

Weird heh? Most manufacturers or home air forces would be shouting from the rooftops if it performed well.

He has been restricted in what he can reveal and has made that clear. Poor bastard knows the sad truth
