Indian Air Force: News & Discussions

[Spitfire IX]

Inconvenient truth that your quoted news can't seem to publish. So just continue gasming over "news" which reinforces your confirmation bias. Why ask? Some poster already posted debunking of the proof to you quoted eons back but you continue to harp on your fantasies... so why bother asking us again and again for validating your hallucination?

Not my hallucination. I don't want the aircraft used by IAF to be shot down but none of the aircraft used by India or Pakistan are immune to attack by ground or air launched missiles.

What's the nonsense about confirmation bias? Aircraft get shot down in conflict zones.

Momey ear marked for MRFA should be spent on indigenous UAV, BM and SAM

We are in new war paradigm air-force wise. I dont think we wanna play america's/israel's go balls deep and fuck someone with airforce model and i think that model is dying out - now it is all about drone warfare and having air control of air space to intercept enemy ingress and KO them there' type of combat scenrio involving, especially in our neighbourood.
So we have to go balls deep on drone+anti-drone stuff

Do you think that anyone would pull away from ordering Rafale because a Rafale had been shot down by a SAM? What I would make of that is that 4G aircraft are more vulnerable to detection than 5G aircraft. I believe that has been widely know for a long time now.

Yes, absolutely. If a Rafale can be shot down easily by a run-of-the-mill air defense system, then one would think multiple times about the orders that are yet to be delivered.

You can't do heavy bombing with drones. So, both are required. However, I do agree that the future belongs to unmanned fighter jets.

Praying and hoping that IAF has delivered!!!

Project kusha
Laser based anti drone systems
More ships
2000+ artillery pieces
ABM shield
10000 cheap drones

well the laser based dew would be with iaf or army?

Both, even navy should get it's own version.

In future pakistan will get 5th gen fighter plane before us . So was it really right decision to do ceasefire?

there is nothing such as pure stealth, i think the govt is thinking on it rn and lets hope so that project kusha will be anti stealth and much superior to s400

5th gen jets are not invisible, even people claimed that drone swarms will be impossible to counter yet we did it twice.

i cant understand that why arent these babus pushing the imrh file to ccs for sanction

 

[Mikel]

Reclaimed their reputation, regained their fear factor big time. Despite glaring flaws, overcame them all and made the nation proud

[liberalredditor]

AMCA needs to be fast tracked. 2035 induction is just way way too late. And I honestly don't know how, but the gormint must find a way out and speed it up.

If not AMCA, atleast Ghatak should be inducted in mass numbers before 2030. Some stealth is absolutely necessary going forward.

Super Sukhoi hopefully is fast tracked on an URGENT basis in the next few years. Also just drop the babu ridden bureaucratic nightmare of MRFA and just do a G2G deal. Personally, just buy more mk30I and then upgrade them to super sukhoi along with Virupaksha and gandiva and that should make it good enough with lot of(more than 50%) indigenous content. Understood that there are large rcs, maintenance and cost issues, but it is what it is.

Sukhoi is cheap, has low order book and can start deliveries soon rather than Dassault which will keep us waiting till 2030.

I hope this war lights a fire under our asses. No time to lose with Taiwan conflict looming in the near future.

can the current power plants support the power hungry nature of dew weapons on warships?

India should invest in micro-nuclear reactors. They can supply anywhere from 1 - 20 megawatts of power. They will have immense potential for navy ships.
