All countries retired them more than a decade ago. RAF replaced them two generations ago..now euro fighter typhoon. We need our tejas production running at full pace

.atleast 80 every 6 months.

Bhayya, don't get me wrong, but 6-7/month ante, perhaps, too much confidence on HAL emo.

thanks to lost decade during congress rule

modi emi sesadu ani antavemo, these planes take lot of time to buy and be delivered

 

Yes these planes take a lot of time to buy and be delivered.

What happened since 2014? Why BJP Govt 1999-2004 could not start at least?

Whats the current status now? Decision to buy Rafale jets was taken in 2015. How many were ordered, how many were delivered? How many are in pipeline?

Its good that Modi Gov has just now pushed for defense deal with Russia. What happened in last decade? It will take another 10-15 years for Su-57 delivery with Tech Transfer.

Why did not Modi Gov initiate procurement of 5th Gen fighters from 2014?

Because of idiotic people who want subsidies. Tax paying percentage was also very low.

So they focussed on that which is a right move. Look at how Pak os suffering because of focussing on planes.

Not make in India

Shuki Schwartz, CEO of IWI

Leading Israeli defence firm Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) is set to supply the first batch of 40,000 light machine guns (LMGs) to India starting early 2026.

 

The company is also in the final stages of signing a contract to supply nearly 1,70,000 new-age CQB (Close Quarters Battle) carbines to India. However, IWI is only the second bidder for the contract, with Bharat Forge being the primary.

Indian subsidy is not the factor..lack of commitment and insights. In 1965 we had outstanding flying squadrons in airforce..we learnt from 1962 mistakes.. but now we are not learning even after decades of rising air superiority with our enemies.

Omg....this is so basic.

Money matters. Why do you think people go to US? Because they can throw money around and various R&Ds knowing that there is very low chance of success.

Even commitment comes from giving these kind of opportunities to smart people.

India cannot do that because of subsidies. Farmers who depend on subsidies should be forced to stop farming by ruthlessly removing subsidies. But if the govt does that, people would be on streets and it happened as well.

The development we have been seeing is because of 5% of population....95% are still idiots.

We have the budget.this is very basic..look at our Indian navy..it is going stronger day by day, thanks to navy commanders.Navy allows technical officers into core research and architecture, unlike the IAF

Politics, poor leadership ruining indias air superiority, our foreign policies

Its not politics and poor leadership, its the people who are ruining everything. Politics and poor leadership always reflect the culture of the people.

They want subsidies, kept voting for congress for far too long and sold their voted for money and freebies.

Thankfully they elected BJP and corruption went down significantly relatively. This might sound stupid as BJP is also corrupt.

 

Even now, India is importing crude and doesn't have enough electricity to supply to Industries. The greatest help anyone can easily do is buy solar panels and get an Indian EV. Govt is giving pretty good incentives. Its doing its job. People are still slow to adopt eventhough it saves them money.

Educated people, even nris are buying landcruisers and other crap and then complain about pollution. This shows how idiotic Indians in general are.

Have you installed solar panels and shifted to EV??
