India Lucky Not To Lose More Than Four Rafales

Some news about your SAAB 2000 Erieye ?

That’s it, when truth hurts too much, change the topic.
Same news as it always was damaged and repairable (actually disclosed by Pakistan, unlike shameless Indian evasive answers) Don’t think your shot down top jets including Ra-fail getting repaired any time soon though eh? Pain of that humiliation must be hard to wake up to every day & it shows.

Decoys for S-400 can't produce radiation to lock on.....

no

they also know this

rather, what they imply here is, insurgency!

and, true decoys are our strategic assets against their funded anti state elements!

think of it like that!

BLA (or any other ani-state element) = Pak. strategic assets

(thats what the tweet means!)
in other words,
we will never know the importance of our assets, until, their 'strategic assets/anti-state' elements are around!

It can soak up analysis time trying to work out if it is real or not. It does have a material effect on war planning. That is why Pakistan invests so much in this capability aswell.

IAF is so disapointed with Rafale that they recommand to purchase 114 more.

La force aérienne indienne recommande d'acquérir 114 Rafale de plus - Zone Militaire

En 2018, après avoir fait l'acquisition de 36 chasseurs-bombardiers Rafale auprès de Dassault Aviation, l'Inde lança le programme MRFA pour se procurer

They have NO other choice. Su57 is not ready. AMCA's/Tejas2 is not ready. IAF will not want to induct a "new" type from scratch into service either as that is a very significant undertaking for new infrastructure, people and operational doctrines to be developed.

That leaves the one and only choice of the Rafale. They have no other logical choice. Good or bad, that is what they get regardless. And for the record, the J10CE + PL15E combo still outclasses the Rafales/Meteor combo.

India has no other options.

China won't sell fighter jets to it. India can't afford the political strings attached to American fighter jets. Russian fighters are of poor quality and have questionable delivery times.

India's only three options are the EF-2000, the Jas-39, and the Rafale. Considering logistical convenience and discounts, the Rafale is undoubtedly the better choice.

The really interesting question is: Why would India choose to return to Russia's Su-57 project rather than cooperate with France's 5G fighter project?

Great claim and amazing feat indeed, if supported with some credible proof. Not one satellite picture has been produced to support any of this.
I am pretty sure that Col Sophia’s press conference would be uploaded as an answer, very conveniently omitting the part where she says that there was no significant damage or loss of life.

It is really funny to see one side claiming all the damage to the other side, with no proof of BDA, but, claiming no damage to anything on its own side, attacked with pin point precision.

If you're that desperate for "credible proof", you can always ask the same people to provide you with high resolution satellite images who provided the images from Pakistan.
 
I thought that is what PAF shot down - the 30 kg decoys. Apparently they are not even integrated in the Rafales as of date.

These jokers can’t keep their make belief tales straight.

From a weak source heard that AFM is holding off next months issue with a different placeholder article and new editor in place after Indian attempts have led KP owners to reevaluate.

At least they now recognize their own ridiculousness of procurement processes

That is a very weak source.

Warns has been posting on X on this subject and the issue is already being printed.

Timed that presser with the release of AFM report. Very very good work by PAF here.

8 is the official number, along with serials.

Wow!
