Should India go for F-35?

[Superboy]

The US needs India as a buffer against the biggest super power China. To this end, the US should give F-35 to India just like the US gives F-35 to Israel.

 

[Superboy]

FGFA,AMCA,i think it's enough for them.

FGFA is PAK-FA. AMCA is at over a decade away. F-35 can be delivered within a few years.

india should get f22

 

[Koovie]

China is no super power... certainly not the "biggest" one. There is only one super power at the moment.

Even Japan can't get F-22. Congress forbids export of F-22.

Depends how you look at things.

Yes!

It will take F-35 another couple of billion dollars and a couple of years to go into full production.

The way India negotiates, it will take a couple of decades to get F-35 in Indian colors.

If Indians choose F-35 , than i guess Pakistan can save Money and buy some Rafale .... according to their budget .. anyway sorry for bringing PAF here .. but i think its important to mentioned

J-10B is better than Rafale. J-10B has DSI. PAF would go for J-10B rather than Rafale.

We learned something from the Indians..... being patient.

hahahh well that is hell of a patience they got there

but i guess It would be great to see a Dog fight between F-35 and Rafale

Patience is not a virtue. China already has J-10B operational. Second operational jet having DSI. Now it's a race between J-20 and F-35 for the third place.

dude , i dont know much about Fighters ,but i think Rafale is better than J-10B ... only one thing can not make a Bird superior ... its not that i am underestimating but what i read on PDF rafale is better ..

Rafale is not proven in combat. J-10B at least looks better than Rafale.

even a F-35 is not battle proven ... bhai looks doesn't matter here ... i guess you know that , its Air frame , Payload , EW suites and all combine tech in that bird what matters ...

 

[PARIKRAMA]

Cost, time for deployment, Operational time between sorties, technical issues regarding viability of stealth, etc all does not matter since

F35 has DSI.................................

 

[Superboy]

So is the J-10B ?
The Rafale was engaged in Libya,Mali,Afghanistan,Iraq.....
The DSI J10B never even dropped a bomb in operation.

Rafale has not engaged anything worthy. Rafale has also not engaged any aerial target.
