TS Darbari – The Dassault Rafale is a delta-wing, single-seat, twin-engine fighter already used by the French Navy and Air Force, as well as Egypt and Qatar. The 10-ton Rafale is considered a 4.5-generation fighter that is somewhat stealthy, though less so than the fifth-generation U.S. F-35. On the other hand, it is far more maneuverable in a close-range dogfight than an F-35. The Rafale can also shoot down Chinese aircraft at long range using the deadly Meteor, a ramjet-powered, radar-guided, beyond visual range (BVR) air-to-air missile with an estimated range of more than 50 miles. The Rafale’s formidable arsenal also includes also carries the Scalp standoff air-to-ground missile, plus an advanced Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar and a Spectra jamming system. The Rafale can also “supercruise,” meaning it can fly at supersonic speed without devouring huge amounts of fuel. However, the war, in any case, is not a wise thing and therefore, both the nations should work more dilligently in resolving the issues though it is a known fact that China is master of deception and is not an ally to any nation. China is led by a single party with the policy of expansion which will prove to be pernicious for China itself in long run. Who is TS Darbari ? –

Even if IAF gets more fighter jets, India will not dare fight war with china or Pakistan. Cause let alone waging war, Indian leader fears calling out ‘china’ in their speeches. This is a bitter reality. Why waste more money on procuring more defense gear?
Taking on both Pakistan and China may not be that easy as it sounds. Pakistan may be weaker than India but it will try its best to keep 1/4 of Indian arm forces engaged with it.To fight Chinà with the remainder 3/4 of its arm forces who is a much bigger foe does not make much sense. India should never make such foolish decisions. One can never guess about China’s real arm forces capacity.
Every entity in the world experience their strength because of their past doings . In India, our past was ruled by a shunned group of people, so now we have to struggle.
Country reposes his faith in his army general air marshal admiral not theprint. For 15 years when country has not bought a single fighter jet what has been written in print. China what ever his might be will see the reality too.
If we could expand to a 100 Rafale in one year and maybe another 100 LCA Mark 1A in that year, the Air Chief’s comment makes sense. But he must be aware of the supply constraints of all our principal manufacturers. His comments in that context are unrealistic.
Indians always wear the spectacles of hate ,even don’t know the meaning of respect, always found to be aggressive.
So, like your boss wants and already declared that India is doomed , corrct? Shame on you… don’t worry let the time come , Indian Armed forces will prove you and your boss wrong again…and you will still have the shamefulness to stay here.. shame
And What is the reason? Italian family Sonia Maino’s family ruled the country by proxy and did not care about the defence of this country for the last 60 years. Defence deals cannot happen without a cut given to the family with a network of European brokers working on behalf of the family. Be it Bofors, augusta westland, any deal the Vadra loot cut has to be ensured. Or else it will be mired for years in the red tape dragging. Lucky we still have the country intact. Thanks to lazy neighbors we have who do not want to take advantage of such catastrophic inertia in both the corrupt politicians and bureaucracy.
IAF chief though himself a professional aviator was forced to make claims which even his body language did not fully support. After Feb 27th 2019 air battle it was loud & clear to all that IAF despite numerical superiority could not escalate against a determined PAF.
IAF aircrafts like SU 30 & mirage 2000 could not fire even a single missile against intruding PAF aircrafts & had to depart the battlefield. Only Mig 21 were able to enter the air battle but after one Mig 21 got shot down other Mig 21 also pulled back.Another Mi17 helicopter also got shot down this fateful day.
Just imagine if PLAAF had also attacked what would have happened???
Well your plaaf is suffering from its own challenges thats why it cant even think of attacking India. Plaf is just a paper tiger. Dont think that we Indians are not aware of your failures. Plaaf have more aircraft crashes than any other airforce in the world. Because almost all of your aircrafts are reverse engineered and so they lack technical superiority to stand against USA. Duplicate cant be better than original.Ofcourse you have numbers but these numbers didnt make any difference when you are against western war machines and that proved in vietnam war and korean wars. Dont you think that you are invincible cause the world saw what you are capable of in vietnam and korean wars. So better keep your rant to yourself and accept the reality.
Also you seems to ignore the fact that Indian mirrages attacked deep inside in pakistan and returned unhurt. And you also ignored the fact that non of the paf war planes came closer to mirrages and sukhois on 27 th feb and instead of attacking returned back to their den. Not to mention their were 24 paf fighters against 4 IAFs that day. So stop bluffing and accept reality. Indian forces are battle hardened.
On one hand, you have IAF Chief assuring the country of being capable of fighting two front war and on the other, we have The Print and its ever doubting Thomas journalists coming out with usual anti national chorus! We all know what our country lacks against Pak and China. What iAF Chief mentioned is in a specific context and we should leave it at that and get on with defense modernization, indigenization, alliance buildings etc. Let us not use too much of ‘artificial intelligence’ in shooting down our own IAF Chief!

Sometimes feel that The Print is a Chinese version of Global Times. Shame on you.

Uniform personnel should discuss with defence minister or PM but should not give such a political statement with our drawbacks.

Let winter set in then the Chinese will show you big mouth Hindus who’s the boss
The writer forgot to mention Abhinonedone episode!!! Probably he considers him AbhiNoneDone!!! LOL

India should avoid Chanayakya Mandala theory and give up religion based politics rather resolve all issues amicably and politically not militarily
Yes sir. Rightly said.
Keep barking and day dreaming?

India has started believing in itself. China will find it very difficult to face todays India

Those five Rafales have changed the balance of power completely.
