well i guess you have no idea that IAF hasBad mouthing the J15 or J16 is not doing India or Indians any good. Where is your Indian answer? Other than Tejas which is like a training platform with some teeth, is any frontline fighter completely made from scratch in India indigenously today?
India has been assembling things like Jaguars and Mig 29s since the eighties/nineties, why is it still the same thirty years later?
Reality is - J15 and J16 are supposedly the most modern flankers out there avionics wise and China has them is super credible numbers.
While IAF and politicians are busy lining their pockets with percentages from SU-30 MKI and Raphale platform and spares imports. Come wartime, spares will be hard to get from foreign sources - how will the fleet be kept operational?
Very little indigenous spares manufacture except token ones at HAL and DRDO contractors. If they were, Indian media would be crying from every Indian rooftop.
How does a fighter platform like Tejas take up thirty years to develop? After the US gifted HAL to India in WWII, it should have been revamped a long time ago for efficiency.
Don't you think as Indians you should question your govt. ? Tejas is already obsolete compared to the JF-17. Now they are fitting AESA radars to the JF-17 and jammer pods as well. Whither Tejas?
Why is the single Kaveri engine taking two decades to develop while the Chinese upgraded their whole slew of military engines during that time? Including the WS series.
The idea that Tejas would be a modern Gnat died two decades ago. Not enough foresight.
Indian politicians and top Indian military brass make the money and like sheep, gullible Indians wave the pom-poms, rah rah...
These are questions that Indians should seek answers to.
There has not been enough planning of active deterrence (forget offense) to Chinese developments on Indian side, any third party can easily see.
36 Dassault Rafale &
40 LCA MK1
there are 259 odd su 30
we also have 60 Mirage2000
and 64 Mig29 + 40 Mig29K
while there are 80 odd Sepecat Jaguars
and 140 BAE Hawks for adwanced jet training which also can be used for light attack
but those are offensive stuff what we have that China is most fearfull about is what they never talk about but Pakistanies think that they are only ones to have that ... but really that so ?????
