It makes sense, in place of (((offsets))) in exchange for 36 IAF + 26 IN Rafales we get access to specific baguette tech items/support

1. Dassault design support for TEDBF/ORCA( )
2. SSN class pumpjet tech
3. Safran support for IMRH engine, spoon feeding for our DRDO boys basically to make the whole engine
4. Same as the above but for whatever is Kaveri's tech related issue
5. Anything else y'all nibbiars think we can get from Frenchies?

inb4 anyone misunderstands, we will pay for these but ofc for that these have to be on offer first.

MRFA is back because, Rahul Gandhi cried scam and entire bajapa wants to show they are non corrupts.

Decade passed now. Ideally should went for same G2G deal of another 72 (if money is there) to get that number.

But here we back with same circus.

To fight against capable enemies like China and Pakistan even 45 squadron is not adequate. IAF always wanted sanctioned strength of fighter squadron to be atleast 55 squadrons minimum.

Will probably reach 45+ squadrons if you count the Ghatak drones & replace AJTs with LIFTs. Maybe get dinner smaller stealthy tactical bombers.

Reflected Radio waves can be reflected back by ionosphere and picked by Radar? Radar can infer wrong position? GCI can direct plane to wrong coordinates? Now I am not sure if the Missile Fired was a R-73 slaved to HCS? who knows whats the details. But he is an officer - he must have his reason to believe it was kind of mirage. And he also pointed that these things happened only in specific months of year..

kind of mirage

Mirage you say!!!!
Phir se blue-on-blue to nahi kar diya na!

Reflected radio waves will show a scatter pattern / whitenouse on radar, not a point / object.

Radar can infer wrong position but that won’t be an illusion which eye can see but radar calibration issue.

Even for HCS lock it HAS to be an IR lock, not LOAL fire.

Now I don’t want to go into conspiracy territory but almost all large Armed Forces have detected UAPs using multiple sensors which rules it out as a mere “illusion”.

In the lack of solid evidence of their origins speculations are bound to run amok. But yeah, they are solid physical objects with mass.

Okay, it seems you Guys are bit too excited about UFOs and aliens and probes. There are multiple phenomena and objects that can be classified as somthing "UAP". So no need to even think about this news unless we see some US Navy type FLIR recording of a tic-tac.

Moreover he's a retired officer, he can say anything. Especially when our official channels of communication can publicly put out stuff like this

Will look for yeti
Will shoot at UFO
Will make chairs

Will not replace fiber glass helmets.

When I used to describe our visionary UN Generals people felt offended. Now their intelligence is oozing out everywhere on twitter.

UN Generals are like:

It's an illusion. It is bloody happening thausands of mile away in sky and picked by radar.

One point of time we have fired missile on it.

1.) If those flights took off from Hotan , they're targeting Ladakh & J&K . Hotan itself is vulnerable to the IAF. Look at the dispersed bases not just in that region in question but also surrounding regions as far as the IAF is concerned.

2.) Immaterial. Paxtan is not going to base PLAAF nor will they be part of this . If they do they'd be nuked . What's more they know it !

3.) That's where we'd be basing the Rafale M along with the MKI.

It's going to be a roughly even contest . It's not going to be a one sided affair your civilian defence enthusiasts think it'd be.

what about mid air refuelling .

Mid air fuelling from where & to where ?

 

[Ultraman]

Mid air fuelling from where & to where ?

tibet itself , take off with full load less fuel, refuel in mid air , or take off from low altitude from outside tibet - refuel in mid air.

Yes I posted about it in one of my replies there. Was under the impression you're talking about refuelling from over Hotan. That's what PLAAF is practising over Tibet including flying from Yunnan over Myanmar and / or over BD into the NE & Eastern India & over Thailand / Myanmar into A&N.

Hello guys. I propose to you a french made vidéo, with english subtitles, about the story of Rafale in India. Nothing that you may don't know but I would like to have your opinion.
This video was published just before your air chief marshal came to talk about R&D, LCA and all.
And just to be clear, I love India, and can't wait to visit it again.

Shit. It is the wrong topic. I thought to post it in Rafale topic instead of here. But anyway. If a moderator wants to move it, go for it. It talks also about IAF at the end (but not only)
