French Air Force..why is that relevant to the IAF?

https://x.com/DefenceMinIndia/status/1795772960873107604 Rudram-II test fired successfully from a Su-30MKI!

Their current mount is the Su-30MKI..as much as I liked to see the MiG-23BN and MiG-27ML looks wise, they were the least reliable and most unsafe in terms of attrition. Especially the MiG-23BN. Worse than the much maligned MiG-21. The Su-30MKI in comparison is a generation apart in every way.

Model of a Chinook.

I so miss the beautiful camoflage schemes and the aggressor markings on our fighters. Plus the squadron markings! Just look at that beautiful Panthers marking near the cockpit of that MiG-21bis!

Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam are all looking into the possibility of purchasing Brahmos missiles. Brahmos A for Malaysia and Vietnam and shore based Brahmos for Vietnam. DSA-2024 Brahmos eyes cruise missile export to Southeast Asia

Saturn Al-55I engines that were supposed to be built at HAL. But that never happened since the HJT-36 never entered service. Those that are on the prototype and LSP HJT-36s are built entirely in Russian and imported. This was long ago. In fact, the switch in the engine from the French Larzac...

Wait till the general elections are over for anything genuine on this. On hold as of now and till the new Govt. doesn't come in, there can be no movement on it.

2 HJT-36 Sitaras undergoing testing in Goa..though these aren't recent pics as per Indranil Roy.

Astra Mk2 test firing coming in the next few months! Interesting that the range quoted is 120-130 kms versus what was earlier thought to be 150 km range BVRAAM. https://aninews.in/news/world/asia/india-to-test-130-km-strike-range-astra-mark-2-missile-this-year20240416204025/

They won't ask even close to that amount. The Greeks are looking to finance another buy of 6 or so Rafales with the proceeds of this sale, which would be probably in the USD 600-700 million range IMO.

It will be the other way around..the IAF is likely to be one of the more promising customers. Mirages are comparatively harder to sell in the second hand market than F-16s. Which is why the Greeks must be sensible and keep the asking price at a level where the IAF doesn't lose interest.

IAF is confirmed to be interested in acquiring Greece's Mirage-2000-5s, although the level of discussion is very initial as of now...

Different countries, different challenges, different solutions. Their problem is that they have a tiny country that requires extremely quick early warning so that they don't get surprised. They have a very good system of radars to cover all possible approaches into their territory from all...

IA and IAF already have hundreds in service. 1000s is a pipe dream. The ones that need to be replaced ASAP are the Cheetahs, Cheetals and Chetaks. That is where the LUH will come into the picture.

25 ALH Dhruv Mk3 for the IA and 9 for the Coast Guard. Indian MoD orders 34 ALH helicopters
