I am not arguing with you, considering you think buying F-35 for India is a matter of ego
You think that buying an F-35 for a non US treaty ally like India will be done in 2 years, like it is buying vegetables from a thelewala
Even ignoring the US side, you are bitching about our babooze and yet you think 2 years...
and then expecting them to deliver 5 Squadrons that is like ~100 F-35s in 2030 without even googling to see what LM's backlog is for current F-35 orders, and ofc their treaty allies ordering more F-35s each year will be added to this backlog.
There are 408 planes in backlog per this site

Lockheed Looks to Deliver Up to 190 F-35s in 2025
Lockheed Martin expects to deliver 170-190 F-35s in 2025 and took almost $2 billion in charges on secret projects in 2024's fourth quarter.www.airandspaceforces.com
btw since you are crying about PSU chai-biskoot munchers taking forever to deliver things, here is Pentagon partially witholding payments to LM for taking forever to roll out some upgrade

Pentagon reduces withholding on F-35 payments, citing Lockheed’s progress on TR-3 development
Although the much-delayed Technical Refresh 3 update to the F-35 stealth fighter remains a work in progress, manufacturer Lockheed Martin has made sufficient advances that the Pentagon is now only withholding $3.8 million per aircraft, down from $5 million previously.www.flightglobal.com
Continue shitting yourself over 10 foot Chinaman, F-35 nahi aayega, yanks aren't even selling it to us in the first place, and if you say >muh Doland, he also said that "Packistanis are incredible people with incredible products"
People blaming Hal for delays. But the same Hal delivers ALH on time for years. Initial hiccups will be overcome and delivery will be on time moving forward.
Meanwhile MOD Babus were sitting on file doing nothing. UCAF ghatak is not get any fund.
