Should India go for F-35?

[Jlaw]

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




Depends how you look at things.

india is superpower, japan is not--that's the difference

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.

Hi,

India does not trust the U S regarding frontline fighter aircraft.

 

[Superboy]

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 ...

J-10B has the same tail and tail EW as Rafale, much better than those of J-10A.

It will be interesting to see PAF reaction , if India deal the sign ... but anyway still long time ahead in front of them ...
but either its Rafale or F-35 for IAF ... it will certainly dis balance the entire region

Maybe the J10B did,tell us more ?

No J-10 has ever engaged a single target. No war.

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

Ugandan royal airforce has already rejected J-10B because J-10C is better

OH GOD!!! What you did to the French on Rafale deal, please don't do that to us. I think the US businesses are now used to dealing with India.

So it'll short and sweet with a brochure handed over to the Indian officials with "this is the package at X price, take it or leave it, the next conversation will be about finalizing the contract when you are ready, thank you, come again".

Tell you what? The US taxpapayers should pay for India's F-35 just like the US taxpayers pay for Israel's F-35.

Do you actually have aerodynamic test data from the both aircraft to make such a claim? Of course not, so why even make such a dumb claim?
