The jets were similar to what India is buying. IAF wants to know what kind of training Pakistani pilots or engineers on secondment to Qatar received. French ambassador says fake news.
As the Supreme Court takes up the review pleas, it will also examine the selection of Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence as an offsets partner in the Rafale deal.
The party in its manifesto for the elections also said it will take determined steps to bring back scamsters who left the country and initiate legal proceedings against them.
PAF had outranged and outgunned India’s best, and it’s only because of IAF’s training, awareness and some luck that Pakistan’s 27 February mission failed.
The magazine was a product of its time—when newsprint was cheap, imagination was free, and the hunger for suspense could drive circulation numbers into the tens of thousands.
As many as 21 policy reforms are under implementation following Invest Kerala Global Summit, as LDF govt works to change perception that the state is not conducive to businesses.
Amid continued concerns over cross-border terrorism, General Upendra Dwivedi further warned the neighbour that India will not show restraint if there is an Op Sindoor 2.0.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
India regularly trains against F-16 and Indian pilots have flew F-16 as well during evaluation of F-16. It is safe to say, by the same logic, that Indian pilots have full knowledge of F-16 radar. Did that prevent Pakistan from shooting down Indian Jet? Nope.
Leftist media only finds truth in the statements of khangress pakistan & its allies .When france is itself saying that no such thing happened..this stupid page writes this much of garbage…Did this editor was on the back seat of the plane wen pak pilots were being trained…he is taking pak ppl statements as truth while raising doubts over france statements…Such a biased writer..
A cricket bat and ball are the same for all players. Important thing is WHO wields it. Not every batter is Sachin Tendulkar and not every bowler is Shane Warn.
I don’t remember the full details now, in 1965 war Pakistan had very impressive paraphernalia – – Paton tanks, and Sabre jet fighters supplied by the USA. (Or was it in 1971?). But we all know the results.
But still one question remains : when Eurofighter was offering a technically acceptable fighter which was also 20% cheaper, then why…
But let us stop fretting about these things now. I am so happy that the big boy the Supreme Court has stepped into the arena. Count down has begun for Mr Modi personally.
Several middle eastern countries including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc. and China have strong military and strategic relations with Pakistan, PAF pilots train with several countries that operate all kinds of aircrafts including F-16, F-15, Tornado, EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON, Turkey is getting the F-35, China has the Sukhois and their duplicates, so what aircraft is left for India to buy ‘safely’?
Not very long ago Modi govt was talking about taking on China & Pakistan together in a two front war. Now after losing only one air battle to PAF an air force having 1/20th budget compared IAF, there seems to be absolute paranoia. Time to Grow Up !!!!
Sir,
Please correct me if the below Link is wrong about the REAL origin of this story as per the hyperlink in your article above :- https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2019-02-13/first-rafale-handed-over-qatar
I could not find any of the following words on this webpage using google search function :-
1. Pakistan
2. Exchange
Please enlighten me also, if you are able to find any mention of Pakistani pilots in this article.
There are levels to secrecy and there is a price to be paid for that. If we dont want anything about our aircrafts being openly known, we better start building our own aircrafts and develop the capabilities for that. Knowledge about engines, radars etc. is basic information that is widely available online. Forget the high level quality attributes, the Chinese could get detailed fingerprints of Americab stealth bombers by constant snooping and spying (and more importantly, copy it). So u don’t get the point of the article.
No amount of agreements, will allow secrecy that the author is hinting at. If we want that, we better create private enterprises that will develop aircrafts in India. Unfortunately, with all the Rafael “manufactured crisis”, politics has destroyed any further scope of building an ecosystem of private defense manufacturing in India. When a 200 crore contract to Reliance (right or wrong is another thing) is labeled as 40,000 crore scam and copied verbatim in the media, you cannot hope for any future government to go beyond using HAL who are not even competent enough to assemble 8 aircrafts in an year, forget building anything new.

This aspect ought to have been thought through before pressing the Buy button.
