Lol C-17/P-8I/AH-64 and predators are secondary support items? Are you out of your mind Lol

This is what happens, they are so used to being delusional when it comes to Pakistan it is now happening with their own armed forces.

Take out Apaches and P-8s and they are severely hampered.

I think he means the India bigger more potent weapons are non USA

Ie Rafale the best most advanced fighter is french
The most modern diesel sub is scorpene
The most numerous weapons are russian be it su30mki or T90S

The biggest best warships are India built be it Vikrant carriers Arihant nuke subs or kolkatta class destroyers
Mbrl are Indian
Most numerous cruise missile brahmos India
New latest bvrs Indian Astra

I already mentioned the primary weapons..

 

[onlinpunit]

Apaches and Predators are "secondary support items", so they will not be on the frontline facing the enemy?

Are you sure?

They will be there to assist

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

I already mentioned the primary weapons..

But there are not secondary weapons either, these major military weapons (big ticket items) purchased by India from USA

At war C-17 will bring troops and equipment to frontline lot earlier than other means of transportation like via roads or train transportations

P-8I will hunt and destroy enemy subs and and ships at long ranges

AH-64 will hunt enemy armored columns etc

So these weapons as important as fighter jets/tanks and missiles , so your stupid claim is ridiculous and absurd that these weapons are not frontline weapons but secondary support weapons

 

[Yasser76]

They will be there to assist

What aircraft will P-8 assist in MPA role?

 

[NGAD IS THE BEST]

They will be there to assist

Only C-17 somehow fits in this category ( you have IL-76 but with much less payload capacity than C-17)

Do you have any HEAVY ATTACK CHOPPERS in your inventory other than AH-64

And do you have any alternatives other than p8i MPA? And don't tell me you have IL-38 MPA, IN FRONT OF P8I IL-38 USES JUNK AND OUTDATED TECHNOLOGIES (60 ERA TECHNOLOGIES)

SO THESE WEAPONS ARE FRONTLINE WEAPONS IN THEIR DOMAINS AND AS IMPORTANT AS FIGHTER JETS/TANKS AND MISSILES AT THE TIME OF WAR AGAINST ENEMIES OF INDIA

AND DON'T CALL THEM SECONDARY SUPPORT ITEMS, THESE ARE FRONTLINE WEAPONS IN THEIR DOMAINS AND AS IMPORTANT AS FIGHTER JETS/TANKS AND MISSILES

SO YOUR CLAIMS ABOUT C-17/P8I/AH-64 AND PREDATORS ETC ETC ARE SECONDARY SUPPORT ITEMS ARE RIDICULOUS AND ABSURD LOL

Tejas Mk1 from No.45 squadron 'Flying Daggers' participating in Exercise Tarang Shakti.

Eurofighter from Luftwaffe and Su-30MKI with Tejas Mk1

RAF Typhoon with Tejas Mk1

Video from Ex Tarang Shakti..

In the video one can see a Luftwaffe pilot flew back seat in a Tejas trainer (LT5205), while IAF pilots flew back seat in their Rafale and Eurofighter twin seater. Luftwaffe pilots also flew backseat in the Su-30MKI.

LT5205 is with the squadron, which means that at least 5 trainers out of the 8 contracted with HAL from the first 2 orders (20 IOC and 20 FOC) have been handed over to the IAF.

Got 99 Engines but my HAL aint one....

 

[Faceless]

I have heard previous order of MK1/Trainer still ongoing with 5 more plane yet to be delivered. If true this might be the actual reason behind delay (if production lines are same) which is cover-up by opportunity arised through engine delay by GE. Can someone confirm?

Images from the latest Ex Tarang Shakti Excercise showing a LT5205 LCA Mk1 trainer confirms atleast 5 Mk1 trainers out of 8 are in service.

This particular airframe was 1st spotted in March 2024, I would not be surprised if the 3 remaining airframes are either already manufactured or in advanced states of manufacturing
