F-35 is the iron brand that all US slaves carry
Even the Gulfies haven't been sold F35s, and no before anyone says it's not (((qualitative advantage for Israel)))
If we buy F-35 it will be that we are their slaves and you can expect us to be China's Ukraine in the future
It's better to be slaves rather die in war
Being slaves will ensure our survival atleast
I will not mince my words it's not bcoz Chinese 6th gen aircraft flying
I wanted to say this long ago but I was too busy for any counter
Situation is so grim I just don't understand how come pmo def ministry and iaf are sleeping peacefully at night
Next year we will be down to 29 sq,
GE engines uncertainty still remains, we wont be inducting any new type of aircraft till 2030s, ge 414 local production still not signed, existing aircrafts are getting outdated
So much of problems
We neither have quantity nor quality
At this point we need aircrafts no matter the cost
Until now f-35 isn't on table but if it comes we should grab it
In next 2-3 years we will be facing 5th gen aircrafts on 2 fronts and that too in huge quantity
F-35 is in production and can be produced in huge nos and its 5th gen too
And coming to slaves we are slaves in every other thing out there, entire IT industry stands on their mercy, we are net importer of most of the things, it's our bad luck that we are enemy with a country without whom our industries and market can't survive i.e china, we are dependent on every major foreign country for our defence and sadly we are interested to increase dependency
This is battle of survival
