Operation Sindoor & Aftermath (120 Viewers)

None. but it wasn't pushed under the F16 name, but as F-21.
I think it included India specific changes that enabled it to integrate into the Indian system, was the latest block of F16 and that's it.

I remember that it had conformal fuel tanks and a pylon to carry 3x missiles.
Anyway the orange langoor will force us to buy that or F-15, and neither will be delivered on time because of ((( India Specific Supply Chain Issues )))
 
If you want to be chindi better sell our country to the US and become their rakhail, you can spend 1% of GDP on defense which will be enough to cover OROP and any opex.
Naah, Chindi pana is actually because of our strategic autonomy. Uncle Sam will not even let us do chindi pana. It will force its expensive made in america junk on us. We will be spending more than today and without any autonomy.

In no way being vassal of america will help us.
 
Tbh the planner had pretty good success with their original engine project. And many other things then. So they were rather optimistic about Kaveri and Tejas.

French turned out be even bigger scammer than Russians.

At least Russian weapons work when required.

Ideally we should have Lora and Rudram 1 both.
It shouldn't be an either or situation.


IAF seems to be more interested in R2 & R3 according to some reports. R2 and R3 have better guidance, better maneuverability, better speed than Air LoRA. R3 also have far superior range.

Do not fall for Paki propganda. Refale is a Great jet. We need more...

The kind of flexibility an indigenous system offers is unmatched — Tejas can integrate and fire every weapon in the IAF’s inventory, something Rafales can’t do. Pakistan is a different case; since it imports everything from China, compatibility isn’t an issue for them. But for India, the only viable path forward is to build a military-industrial complex as extensive as China’s — there’s no alternative.
 
the only thing that made sense was his username
He's actually one of the better moderators there with the caveat better being subjective .

Does he have the honesty to admit that the US support for Pakistan in 1971 had absolutely nothing to do with upholding democracy, freedom, secularism and liberty? Quite the opposite. It was just to intimidate India not to take further action against an American geopolitical asset.

Similarly, whatever assistance India obtained from Russia/SU had nothing to do with India upholding, promoting or propagating Russian style totalitarianism or Russian geostrategic interests. Positively not from the Indian vantage point. And the Russians never did get any missile launch sites or naval bases in India or Bangladesh.

True but my comment was for his role as a moderator not for this particular post & as I pointed out earlier it's purely subjective.

Lora is just for diversification.
Rudram 2 trials are completed and is of different category.
We will be manufacturing lora missile not just import.
 
Operation Sindoor has confirmed one thing — India possesses numerous secret capabilities that are not in the public domain. Judging by the type of loitering munitions used, it’s quite possible that the Indian Air Force also has access to weapons like the Delilah missile.


I never knew India had the capability to deploy bunker-buster munitions capable of destroying nuclear arsenals hidden deep inside fortified bunkers.

If we are being forced to buy can't we just buy the stuff we actually need like awecs, himars
 
Based on the information available online, only United States Russia and China currently operate bunker-buster bombs, which are delivered by strategic bombers. India is suspected to possess bunker-busting capabilities, but the delivery platform remains unclear. A fighter jet can’t carry such a heavy munition, which suggests that either India has a bomber platform we don’t know about, or it has modified certain missiles to serve as bunker-busters. However, I don’t believe any missile-based bunker-buster was used during Operation Sindoor.

If the bunker buster is a simple and heavy bomb can't we deliver using transport plane?
But sure it will require air superiority first.

No, the US govt has to satisfy particular stakeholders like let's say Lockheed Martin. They'll channel it towards them only. These companies also lobby and bribe heavily for these opportunities be directed towards them

That’s exactly what I was thinking — did India modify a cargo plane to deliver bunker-buster bombs inside Pakistan? But then, how did these aircraft enter Pakistani airspace? Was Pakistan’s air defense system completely suppressed? Since India doesn’t have a stealth bomber like the B-2 Spirit, it raises questions. Regardless, now that India has developed the dry Kaveri engine, I believe it should consider developing a B-2 Spirit-style bomber powered by four dry Kaveri engines. It could be designed as an optionally manned or fully unmanned aircraft.
