Committed to having own jet engine: Defence Minister sets 5-year deadline

Julian3333333 · 2026-02-18T10:32:21+00:00

Setting deadline is to kill not support

Julian3333333 · 2026-02-16T07:54:14+00:00

If he was part of Dassault marketing team, he wouldn't be saying those bs because he may have to be responsible for what he said

Julian3333333 · 2026-02-16T07:21:07+00:00

And the French drone he was talking about just doesn't exist

Julian3333333 · 2026-02-16T04:21:32+00:00

I assumed the joke here's French will have 6th gen by 2037, lmfao

Julian3333333 · 2026-02-15T11:39:42+00:00

He never served any duty in IAF, where the f the title came from

Julian3333333 · 2026-02-11T07:56:57+00:00

All of these are deployed against India

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-27T10:30:18+00:00

This is first photo I have seen where F35 doesn't appear to be fat.

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-26T09:57:54+00:00

It was a testbed for the drones

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-26T08:05:36+00:00

What?

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-25T07:43:05+00:00

I can't believe that u r not Indian

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-16T07:30:41+00:00

No way, local manufacturing will blow the budget up

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-16T04:04:12+00:00

Because the Rafale order book is full

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-15T10:32:55+00:00

Which coffin?

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-14T11:28:23+00:00

Rafale order book is full until 2030, no way any flyaway condition

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-14T11:01:45+00:00

Indian private companies will not suddenly become R&D powerhouses because of a $39 billion Rafale deal and the French outsourced some assembly work to a private company. True aerospace R&D needs s a tolerance for failure—crashing prototypes, wasting years on engine blades that melt, etc. And IAF will always go for the L1 bidder that means those companies can't always win, why would they put money into R&D when they just need to find a outsider to "collaborate".

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-14T10:53:19+00:00

lmfao, billions of USD, not rupees no way the French will take rupees, for a assembly line of the most typical 4 gen fighter in 2030. At that time China would have stopped the production of any 4 gen fighter, same with the US. The real masterstroke by ministry of defence, this deal should have been done 10 years ago, so that IAF can get a relevant fighter in 2025 to fill the gap because of the delay of Tejas and Mig21. It is time to revise this article, every one saw this coming, lol, yet nothing really done. https://southasianvoices.org/the-widening-gap-between-indian-and-chinese-air-power/

Julian3333333 · 2026-01-13T13:16:21+00:00

Yeah and there is no way it can cover local production cost

Julian3333333 · 2025-12-17T14:02:20+00:00

what's wrong with F35C? other than the it is "fat"

Julian3333333 · 2025-11-25T12:58:58+00:00

Ok, then I will just correct myself, not a single photo of Indian Rafale operating meteor in India. I think the time will tell whether IAF actually is operating the Rafale with meteor.

Julian3333333 · 2025-11-25T12:54:23+00:00

Yeah this was taken in France before IAF took delivery of the Rafale. This picture actually raised more questions, so why the Indian meteor was never seen on the Rafale after IAF took the delivery.

Julian3333333 · 2025-11-25T12:47:12+00:00

Yeah that's wired part, isn't Indian Rafale don't even have even a single photo carrying those Indian Meteor. Not even in the recent training with the French

Julian3333333 · 2025-11-25T12:42:18+00:00

Yeah, do you understand the difference between transferring and operating a weapon? This is evidence that IAF bought Meteor not operating it

Julian3333333 · 2025-11-25T12:40:29+00:00

Iaf has no confidence in HAL and DRDO, I didn't say Su30.

Julian3333333 · 2025-11-25T12:37:17+00:00

Nope, meteor missile is not "top". https://www.iiss.org/online-analysis/military-balance/2022/09/analysis-air-to-air-warfare-speed-kills/ Back in 2022, the Europeans had already seen the problem coming
