The annual report submitted to the US Congress by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission claims “Pakistan’s military success over India”, showcasing Chinese weaponry”.
The Standard F4 plus version will come equipped with longer-range air-to-air missiles (two) and air-to-ground munitions than currently in service with India, ThePrint has learnt.
The first fuselage sections are expected to roll off the assembly line in 2028, with the facility expected to deliver up to two complete fuselages per month.
IAF down to 31 fighter squadrons on paper against sanctioned strength of 42. Number will go down further next year when 2 remaining squadrons of MiG 21 Bison get phased out.
Facility will initially look at MRO-related work for the 36 IAF Rafale fighter jets, and the 26 Rafale Marine under discussion, besides those of Indonesia.
Rafale, F-15EX & the Gripen are the 3 main contenders with the front-runner being French Rafale fighter jets, 36 of which were inducted into the force under emergency procurement in 2016.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
It needs to be pointed out that this “US Govt report” is heavily relying on various published news reports of various kinds and hence subject to the “influence” of those reports.
Yes sir…Pakistanis are so interested in this jets issue..they don’t know ABC of anything but just say 6-0 to fulfill their fantasies and truly they are living in their delulu world
Looks like large democracies including USA are trying to downplay the success of Chinese fighter aircraft to sell their own defence equipment.

@FOG looks like a CPIM cadre or a Pakistani citizen has joined the chats.
Seriously if you think Chinese weapons are better then that’s the only conclusion I can get
