              With nearly 250 PAK FA in IAF and 126 MMRCA 4.5 generation fighters(it could be as high as 200 according to recent reports) we will be a nightmare for our enemies.
              The thing i am worried the most is that the American F18 that is in competition for this deal might get chosen.... if that happens america can stop the supply of spare parts if india steps out of line.They recently did just that to turkey after the flotilla incident with israel.If they can back-stab turkey which is a NATO member...they would do the same with india.When US puppet the shah was driven out US stopped supply of spare parts to F14 tomcat of the iRanian airforce...shortly after saddam backed by america invaded iran..short of spares for their front line fighter the F14
              the iranians had to cannibalize parts.The US even advised the iraqi pilots not to go head to head with the Iranian F14...THE iranians too never risked the F14 by avoiding any direct confrontation..in fact they used the F14 as a AWAC as it has a very powerful radar...But when push came to shove the highly trained iranian F14 pilots were deadly against the iraqi fighters shooting down all sorts of iraqi migs out of the sky.

              This is what ex PM of malaysia Mr Mahathir has to say about american fighter jets :
              "I want to tell you, we had wanted to buy Russian MiGs (fighter planes). You know Russians, they are very inferior. Somehow or other, it was wangled without my knowledge, that part of the money (only to be used to purchase MiGs was also used) to buy (the American made) F-18 (planes). The very good American aircraft costs twice as much as the MiGs. And then, we acquired eight F-18s and 18 MiGs. MiGs are sold to us without any condition. If we feel like bombing Singapore, for example, the Russians are not going to object. Any Singaporeans here? Or ex-Singaporeans?

              But this great aircraft called F-18 which we bought from America, after buying it, after several months, I got to know that these aircraft cannot be used for any attacks against any country even if it is not Singapore, because the Americans sold the aircraft, but the source code is kept by them. So you cannot plan anything, you cannot fly them to carry out any bombing attacks against anybody but you have this wonderful aircraft, which you can see at Lima (the Langkawi International Maritime and Aviation Exhibition)

                Seriously i have become a fan of you after seeing the knowledge levels you have.

                Anyways coming back to the topic IMO the F18 is very unlikely to be chosen. For that matter even the F16 & the eurofighter typhoon. And the US has always been an unreliable country
                I rather feel that the rafale, gripen & MiG-35 have much better chances. These are cheaper, easy to obtain & come with full TOT (cool na). Recently i visited the aeroindia 2011 & the people over there were very helpfull in explaining about the rafale & gripen. I loved the fact that the gripen can take off even on the public roads & has much longer range. I seriously feel that the flying coffins(MiG-21) are needed to be replaced.

                But still my vote goes to the rafale due to the following reasons:-
                1. It can be used in both navy & air force.
                2. It is a twin engined fighter (obviously it will be faster).
                3. Dassault has offered to fit kaveri engine in it which will increase the commonality between the upcoming tejas (the present tejas runs on some GE engine) & rafale.
                4. India has earlier used the mirage 2000 & they performed very well in the kargil war.
                5. The mirage production facilities can be used for the production of rafale also which will in turn reduce the costs of the rafale (same applies for the MiG-35)
                6. India & French have also agreed to go beyond just buyer-seller relationship.
                7. The rafale has the ability to shoot down multiple targets at a time.

                  Gripen too has offered a navel version to india.I think MIG35 too has a naval version(its very similar to MIG29) but not sure.

                  Speed is not everything in a dog fight...in falkland war the UK's slow harriers having TVC shot down the much faster Mirage fighter's...they shot down 21 argentinian mirages only 2 harriers were lost to ground fire and 4 were lost to accidents.

                  That is true ...the same kaveri engine is gonna power our indigenous fifth generation fighter.

                  The air campaign in kargil started having a real impact only after ISRAEL rushed to indias aid...israel pulled equipments from its front line and shipped it to india they also sent their engineers to modify our aircrafts for high altitude bomming not to mention they gave critical INTEL against the islamic republic of pakisthan.The LGB's(laser guided bombs) that we saw on television decimating pakisthani positions ...we got them from israel.

                  all modern fighters can track multiple targets...for example the su30MKI's BARSN011M can track upto 15 targets...it even outranges both the EFT and rafale...in a conflict it will see the EFT/rafale first...that is until EFT gets its tranch3 upgrade and the rafale gets its AESA.I am not saying These fighters are bad but they simply cannot match IAF SU30MKI in payload,range,manoeuverblity thats all....with ramjet R77 missile the MKI outranges both EFT/rafale as well .

                    I know that speed is not the only thing necessary for the victory in a dog fight. I was just telling about its qualities. Moreover twin engined jets means higher payloads.

                    Now this is a new fact for me. Well i do know that the mirage had to be heavily modified to be able to drop LGB's but dint knew that the ISRAELI's were behind this. Anyways i was telling about how the mirage performed at high altitudes having the superiority.

                    In the mean time read a small note about the relations of india & israel. Its good to know that israel is india's second biggest ally after russia.

                    Cool. The sukhoi is a superior fighter and has a very good performance levels. This when combined with the talented indian pilots is a dangerous combination.

                    This is the remark, Col Greg Newbech, USAF Team Leader made when questioned about the capabilities of IAF pilots, during the excercise cope-india 04


                    Even during the excercises between RAF's tornado ADV & EFT the sukhoi proved to have a much better dogfighting capabilities & maneuvering.

                    The sukhoi is even able to perform "the Pugachev's Cobra" which shows its superior maneuvering.

                    Anyways which fighter according to you should win the MMRCA??

                      How to say this...hmmmmm...american have "friends" in high places who look after their interests here in india.

                      here are few examples :

                      1) sharadh pawar - works as a spokesperson for an american corporation(monsanto) that wants to enslave indians by controlling indias food supply

                      2) IMF crony Montek Singh Ahluwalia

                      he is getting rewarded for all his "Good" work

                      Montek among probables for next IMF chief

                      Montek among probables for next IMF chief - Economic Times

                      3) Praful patel according to nira radia works for BOEING

                      4) Pchidambaram and the IMF crony according to wikileaks are americas favourites .

                      Yeah more payload and reliability but its very costly to maintain compared to single enigine fighters thats why pakisthan does not have any twin engine jets.

                      yeah they sold us some great stuff like the phalcon awacs one of the most sophisticated awacs on the planet.Israel and india have a common enemy ..pakistan...so its only natural for these two countries to form an alliance.Pakistan sent its pilots to fight israel during the arab-israeli conflict...they flew syrian jets and bought down many israeli fighter jets and to this day pakistan does not recognize israel .

                        Ya it is scary but the good news is that the Upgraded MiG-21 Bison will be phased out by 2017 & the other MiG-21 will be phased out by 2013.

                        Well so is the same with Pakisthan & china. I hate to say this but as of now the chinese are at a much stronger position. But definitely the tables are going to change, sooner or later.

                        Moreover i had even read that the israel & US have a very strong relations which may be a bit of a concern.

                        After your post read about the 26/11 attacks and came to know that the terrorists attacked the nariman house because it was frequently visited by the israelis.

                        Yeah BTW another advantage which IMO the MiG-35 & the rafale will have is that unlike the other contenders these both flights are not used by many countries. For the rafale the only operator right now is france & for the MiG-35 it is russia. Hence it will give a uniqueness to these flights.

                        I wonder why we cant divide the deal between two flights. What i mean to say is that we can also purchase two different flights in order to have a much better air power. Like we can buy both gripen & rafale by dividing the deal between saab & dassault. By this way the disadvantages of both the flights would be covered by the other. Right??

                        The gripen has its share of advantages like lower maintenance & high sorties etc. It will also give india an opportunity to establish a diplomatic relationship with sweden??

                        Would wait for your opinion on this.

                        • Info :50 years into the future, the Sun begins to die, and Earth is dying as a result. A team of astronauts are sent to revive the Sun - but the mission fails. Seven years later, a new team are sent to finish the mission as they are Earth's last hope.


                          saw this wonderful film today as i was getting bored of India-pak match :P must say this was a beautiful sci-fi from boyle....... some really beautiful shots of the sun ..never seen such a beauty(graphically though!) in any movie till now!
                          -ve's are ignorable since it is sci-fi fiction ... but the inclusion of one element which i felt it was totally unnecessary.....

                          overall must watch !

                            • I saw Game over the weekend. Felt it was a rip-off of some Hollywood flick (don't remember which). Suspense was somewhat ok, but not a hit recipe!

                              • I Saw the Devil (2010) - IMDb

                                storyline: When his pregnant fiancee becomes the latest victim of a serial killer, a secret agent blurs the line between good and evil in his pursuit of revenge.

                                My rating: N/A

                                Most brutal and violent film i have ever seen,too much violence against women makes it unwatchable, i am not against its story which is good ( all the korean movies have the same agenda anyway: vengeance ) but the content of the film there is absolutely no reason to be so realistic that it becomes almost disgusting for the viewer to watch, all other korean movies are fine (even chaser which is my fav korean film till date) but this movie crosses the line. Hollywood movies are 100 times better IMO.Also pretty bad acting by the protagonist.
