@IndicSight There is penalty imposed for delay, and people are laid off
And HAL is in most hurry to deliver Mk1A and Mk2, it's the only way they get paid
210 Tejas Mk2s won't even cost 20 Billion and money will go back to goverment either way through HAL
While 114 Rafale will cost $40 billion forex, arrive in 2032, when their new upgrade is already there in France and old one being sold to us
Numbers win
The Tejas Mk 2 enters service in meaningful numbers in the mid-2030s, assuming it ticks boxes. Reminder: the prototype has still not rolled out. It will probably be the world's only NEW fourth generation, non-stealth jet entering squadron service at that stage. Being non-stealth in that period is being obsolete. The Rafale is already in service with the IAF presently. If a agreement can be arrived at this year for more, we could see the first new deliveries of the jet to the F4/5 config starting in 2028. There is no getting away from the Rafale. Its a jet in service already, the existing ones will be upgraded to the new standard as well. What India needs is the AMCA to fill the stealth void. But don't count on that for close to another decade.
In conversation with anchor @shail_bhatnagar on @business_today, the discussion focused on gold versus equity over the long term.
Gold may look impressive when seen in isolation, but long term comparison changes the perspective. In 10 year rolling periods, equity funds have largely stayed ahead of gold, with stronger compounded outcomes despite goldโs recent rally.
The point is uncomplicated. Wealth decisions should not be based only on how much an asset has grown. They should be viewed through comparison, data, and long term outcomes.
@Tanmaycoolkarni That's why more su30 should be ordered, alternative engine explored, situation is made on purpose to justify import
Start Mk2 induction from lsp, USAF approach
Not 40 billion European doctrine silver bullet
Threats we are facing 40 J35s with PAF, 500 J20s with 1856 GaN TRMs radar, 800 Flankers with 1m aperture radar, 600 J10s.
Rafale has no ARM missile, huge RCS with weapons load, no big radar to compensate, no integration with IACCS like Su30, outdated is an understatement
@Neetivaan@KSingh_1469 Don't think the Rafale is obsolete. Not the variants we are getting. But yes, any non-stealth platform will be increasingly vulnerable going forward. Including the Rafale despite several stealthy features it has in its design.
@tapswap_ceo_@RimiA112@detresfa_ Bakric0d, you launched pl15s from standoff range using spray and pray method, at Rmax, that's why missiles are lying in indian territory, while one damaged rafale partially but was abandoned
And gave critical info to upgrade our thread library, seeker, radar signature
@Vespid_@Defencematrix1 One is upgradable, other is not, can put GaO radar to upgrade GaN or GaA in Rafale with extremely high density TRMs? Can change EW suite? Engine with future 120 kN one? Or even T-REX without selling kidney
New IRST, sensors, payloads everything
Check f16 upgrades over years
Dehati thinks we need ToT for a GaA radar when we have GaN, a steel bird with less magnitude less composite with generation old fly by wire(4 chaNnel) than LCA
OAC MC, with Astra 1/2/3(350kM), Rudram, Randfail has no ARM missile. LCA has DMG, SMFD, SDFL
Bheek manga in blood
The good thing about R2 and R3 compared to murican ARM is the warhead
And the reason is simple chinese have high number of HAS and post OP Sindoor chinese have started putting their SAMs under similar covers as there is not a lot of shoot and scoot space available for em
