Someone give some Chintu chhotu 20 Rs with a scraper and make him run to that thing, scatch a sample of the coating and run back and give it to DRDO.
Plausible deniability if Chintu dies. I volunteer, Modizi.
Slap my ass and call me Chintu, I don't care, just make a good 5th gen plane.
Anyone knows if Khameini is dead or was that just fake news? Has he been seen after the rumor buzz?
I'm serious when I say this-
Buy some hundreds of cheap propeller planes (the kind used for skydiving like a skyhawk 172 but faster and bigger), put a bunch of chapris with mounted, high rpm guns with all tracer round belts on it and let it fly. Propeller planes have a much smaller turn radius than your average jet and they're inexpensive and fully capable of chasing down these drones. Basically a small B17 with no bombing capability and just the design of mounted gunners covering every angle with ball turrets.

Translation:
Like the spines of a hedgehog, the machine guns protrude from the hull of the Flying Fortress on all sides. Fourteen heavy machine guns give this four-engined bomber previously unknown firepower. There are no blind spots. In addition, these machine lines fly in close formation as the group. This enables them to give each other effective fire cover.
The aforementioned is an excerpt from a German field manual afaik.
Now, the reason why B17 was this huge was because it was a bomber and the guns were merely for self defense from luftwaffe, not offensive dogfighting (lol).
I can see a much more compact plane with fewer engines but the same number of guns being effective in targeting these drone swarms a lot more economically than an Apache or a jet. Would be extremely, extremely easy to make too.
Will be effective as fuck dealing with these blind pre-programmed drone swarms and sounds like a fun time.
