it would be so fun to watch these turkmites getting rawwdogged from 3 sides, modiji pls make it happen, sell our weapons to them just like xhina gives it on loan and discount, arm them properly and train them for the skirmishes.
Rafales cannot fit into the hardened shelters built for MiG-21s. To replace MiG-21s with Rafales, Indian Air Force would need to construct new hardened shelters.
Wouldn't Pinaka will become a bit expensive if it get manufactured in France?
Honestly they should just build new hardened shelter. I get it mig21 hardened shelter needs to be used. Tejas Mk1A does the job for that. But future aircrafts shouldn't be constrained by shelters. We can always build new shelters..
But, Indian Air Force maintains that it requires a mix of small, medium, and heavy fighter jets, each tailored to fulfill specific roles and operational needs.
114 would kill us, it would go above 50 billion usd, i think 2-3 squadrons are enough as a stopgap until our indigenous platforms come into production
What about mirage and jaguar?
Kurds will be great customer but problem is that they are surrounded by iran, Iraq, syria . We will have difficult time supplying them as all those countries considers kurds militia as enemy.
well we r working in DAS nd EOTS (alpha defense make video about it)....one GE414 engine give supercruise ability to gripin E. so why cant two GE 414 engine with 98+98= 196 KN give AMCA supercruise capability?
In my opinion:- HAL will deliver all 83 tejas mark 1a near 2031/32. coz they r 1-2 year behind orignal delivery of 2029. this timeline can even late, coz still only one engine given by GE nd they promised to provide two engine per month. so who knows they will fullfill their promise or not like before.
do hardend shelter "really" save aircraft under it??? In my knowledge no bunker is safe from ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, bunker penetrating bombs etc.
how are u making 50 billion cost for 114 rafale...we already paid for indian specific modification. if we see latest (dec 2021) deal of 80 rafale for UAE, they paid 17.2 billion dollars. that make 215 million dollar for per rafale. so our new rafale order will be near this price range, coz we r second time buyer nd buying in bulk (114 number). that make its price cheaper. neither we hv to pay for training, indian modification etc.
. like arabs style for show off.
In 33 billion we can build much more tejas and super sukhoi.how are u making 50 billion cost for 114 rafale...we already paid for indian specific modification. if we see latest (dec 2021) deal of 80 rafale for UAE, they paid 17.2 billion dollars. that make 215 million dollar for per rafale. so our new rafale order will be near this price range, coz we r second time buyer nd buying in bulk (114 number). that make its price cheaper. neither we hv to pay for training, indian modification etc.
so 114 rafale will cost us :- 114×215= 25 billion dollar.
lets assume we will get our 114 rafale in our navy 26 rafale M cost. which cost us near 7.5 billion dollars. that makes it per rafale M near 288 million dollars.
so 114 rafale will cost us = 114×288 = 33 billion dollar.
so 114 rafale will cost us between 25 billion dollars to 33 billion dollars. 50 billior dollar only cost, if u want wrap up all our rafale in gold plate
right..but i m only discussing here about 114 rafale cost. in my personal views:-
Instead of upgrading older sukhoi at such high cost shouldn't we just make new with better engine and upgrades. Su30 is our primary jet for all testing.right..but i m only discussing here about 114 rafale cost. in my personal views:-
1:- buy 36 more rafale.
2:- buy 72 su 57.
3:- no additional 97 tejas mark 1a....instead 200-300 tejas mark 2.
4:- not only 84 super sukhoi. atleast 75% of our newer su 30 mki should be supersukhoi upgrade. nd rest 25% first delieverd older su 30 mki should be used as flying tractor or mini bomber without any upgrade. with brahmos, rudram, BVR missiles etc.
5:- for ishwar shake, buy atleast one R37 M BVR missile for every su 30 mki.
