The art of the deal. locksneed on suicide watch

Ahahahahahahahahah

>The AMCA programme commenced in October 2010, when feasibility studies for a fifth-generation air force fighter were initiated.
Come on now.

I don't have high hopes for them because their best and brightest literally all ran off. on the plus side, we might get the first fighter built where the pilots seat opens a hole through the bottom so they can shit on enemies while they fly

Pakistans just gonna take all of punjab at this point

>>63890863 (OP)
TBF, the jeets over here on theier H1b will probably backdoor most of the F-35 code to whatever Modi and his retards can scrap together from thier intelegence collecting abroad (and will still be 30 years behind fucking China.)

>>63890886
In'shallah.

Indeed, the F-35 narrowly avoided being tainted by shit stained hands. This calls for celebration.

>DefencesecurityAsia
Benchood please, they were unwilling to sell you anything kek

>>63890892
got to start somewhere, it will be more beneficial towards building skills, competence, experience and reduce reliance on foreign equipment in the long run

Thank god

>we don't need it sir, we got the F-35B for free

>>63890910
Only way this works is if they manage to bring back or work with their skilled diaspora.

>will end well.
The way it should. IMHO it's extremely shortsighted and honestly a crime against humanity to sell and transfer advanced technologies to societies that haven't reached a level of education and wisdom to master those themself. Such deals should only be allowed between equally advances societies to improve their efficiencies ( e.g. equatorial desert friend makes planes, while island nation buddy focuses on navy ).

People who cant develop such tech lack all the supporting prerequisites to have it and will simply cause problems.

>>63890863 (OP)
uhhh poobros are actually going to have planes instead of us-controlled robots that spy on them and may bomb them at any moment wtf they were supposed to support and develop and enrich the us mic! how the fuck do we deal with this actual future superpower now??

jeets were going to build it anyway, at least this way they save some money and let the corruption gains go to their own people I guess

star trek's prime directive

India has spent 25 years trying to make a basic bottom of the barrel Gen3 Fighter and failed miserably. This has about as much chance of working as anyone getting the su57's they ordered from Russia.

India is in a bit of a bind when it comes to fighters. US and China wont sell to them, Euros only have Gen4.5 to sell, Russia cant deliver and unable to build one themselves.

Very bad sir ... very bad.

>>63890866
They popped the champagne. Just imagine how far their stock would drop when India inevitably lost some to the Chengdu J-7.

>>63890883
Iran has been trying to build a nuke for 45 years. something the 1942 USA did in two and a half years without even knowing if it was possible.
Thirdies just can't. The Chinese had to buy and copy all of their advancements from Russia.

>>63891157
>Euros only have Gen4.5 to sell
And the jeets refuse to allow after-sale inspections. For reasons.

>>63891179
You wouldn't want Euros stealing your advanced mods either.

>>63891037
Both are good.

>Pakistan will fly gen 6 jets before India gets gen 5
Wild.

>>63890863 (OP)
did rafale really perform that poorly?

>>63890970
Pakis are also jeets. they also have innate resistance to the smell

>>63890863 (OP)
>India chooses to fall 2.5 generations behind the rest of the world.
I've said it before and I'll say it again; India's future survival depends on every single person in the DRDO being publicly executed.

>>63890863 (OP)
>India doesn't even have a stealth jet
>meanwhile pakistan has already trained it's pilot on the j-35.
judging by how long it took india to make Tejas i will say. we will see a a decent flyable model at 2049 while the pakis will be flying j-50 or whatever the new chinses 6th gen jet is

>>63891609
I don't think China will deliver them J-35's before the PLANAF has the Fujian filled with them.

>>63890892
They have a royal navy F35 now

>>63891655
Pakis were eyeing the j-35 since it's reveal. and seeing as how china is willing to give them the original pl-15 instead of the cucked version and the hq-19 system makes me think we see one flying at one of their parades. plus AVIC posted the pic with a paki pilot

>>63891594
>India's future survival depends on every single person in the DRDO being publicly executed
I hope they live long shit smeared lives then.

>>63890863 (OP)
So they didn't redeem the jets?

>>63890863 (OP)
They have the economy and industrial base they will just need to buy engines.
I wish you the best of luck poos.

>>63891609
If Rafale could outclass J-20, there's no reason why it couldn't outclass the less capable J-35

>>63893441
it can't even defeat the j-10 what chance does it have against a fifth gen fighter

Pajeet gonna learn too late when paki J-35 suddenly teleported behind their Rafale and shoot them down with 30mm gun fire

>>63891176
Nobody was stopping the us from enriching uranium and murdering our children and scientist

This is just Indian procurement acting as they always have. The primary issue isn't that they don't have the technical expertise (even if that might occasionally be one of the issues) but rather the fact that the entire procurement process always turns into a clusterfuck with the retarded levels of corruption and need to appease forty different local politicians and military officials. I fully expect the requirements to change about five times over and financial issues because someone stole the money at one point or more.
