Indian Air Force News and Discussions ll

[Ali_Baba]

They walked away from the "stealthy Flanker" because it wasn't stealthy enough, and not enough tech transfer from their best buddies. The Russians are now desperate for cash, so developed the twin seater they wanted. This'll be the su30 all over again, obsolete by they time it rolls off their production line.

If the Indians had any sense, they would take the airframe, engines, FBW, ie the core platform etc but make sure the entire avionics and electronics suites, and munitions, datalink, ie everything is 100% Indian. i.e. not waste time arguing over workshare of those items. They have enough experience and intellectual property from their Darin projects, Tejas and R&D into AMCA to do that now ( I know we laugh about Indian Software engineering capabilities, but there some very capable people in India that they can use. ).

Lets see how much sense they have.

PAF claims 7 aircraft! Not 6.

4 x Rafales ( BS-001, BS-021, BS-022, and BS-027 ), Su30MKI, Mig-29, Mirage-2000.

Not sure what type of copium they're on by they themselves admit at least 5 aircraft lost, it's only the indians obsessed with trying to prove something on here who are too shameless to admit it.

What losses specfically? The 16 planes your S-400 claimed to have shot down? Sit the f**k down. IAF admitted it lost planes but will not say how many, do you not find that strange? US reported exact numbers and types it lost just weeks after Iran war.

What is stopping IAF?

Because they want you guys to squirm like you are doing right now.

Pakistan never admits its losses so why should IAF?

You gave an example of US admitting to its losses from the recent Iran-US war. But here you guys are big supporters of Iran. So has Iran disclosed what it has lost during the war?

Has Russia or Ukraine disclosed how many men or equipment have they lost during last 4 years?
