The most of any country outside France itself and putting India well within the top three air forces in the world just after the US and France. https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/114-rafale-jet-deal-france-submits-detailed-proposal-for-rs-325-lakh-crore-aircraft-deal-to-india20260806182413/
Will France also sell India normal pilots, normal maintenance crews and such? Because those brown faggots will fail any sort of equipment given to them lmao.
>>65400474So is France the number 2 airpower simply because India is buying from them or what?
>>65400474>India well within the top three air forces in the world just after the US and France.France isn't even close to being in the top three air forces, though.
>>65400474Oh boy, more highly sophisticated aircraft for the Indians to poorly utilize!Are there worse pilots than Indian ones?
>>65400536Can't argue with the jeet logic. That's why their former top supplier Russia is still placed so highly on their lists.
Uh... what are the Indians using to pay for the planes?
>>65400536I believe the US navy is the number 2 airpower
>>65400735yes and the US air national guard is the #3 air power, and the PLAAF is the #5 airpower, full shame.
>>65400512India needs to ramp up their PhD production numbers :DDD
>>65400744india is making 12 million doctors, China is making enough engineers that their factories floor sweepers have engineering degrees. It's not helping
>>65400474>lakh crore
>>65400624https://youtu.be/FTQbiNvZqaY?si=sZ4jEnP4m3__Xr-H
How will that help against the proven superior plane?
>>65400730India has plenty of money, are you retarded?Just because they keep most of the country poor doesn't mean the government isn't capable of paying out 10's of billions in defense procurement.
>>65400474But saaaaar what about mighty hindutva Tejas that is better than F-35?
>>65400742>>65400753Saar
Meanwhile Pakistan will keep having a hi-lo mix of F-16 Vipers and J-10s along with a ton of Saab AEW&C
>>65400474I feel bad for those Rafales...
>>65400808to play devil's advocate, Ethiopian pilots seemed to have been pretty competent during the Ogaden wars. One (or more, depending on your source) even attained ace status. Then again, when your opposition consists of Somalis flying export Mig-21s, i'm not sure how impressive that actually is.
>>65400474>lahk crore what is wrong with these people why can't they just say billion, trillion etc
>>65400474Impressive, saar.
>>65400730Feces.
>>65400808I really don't know anything about African airforces, but I imagine some are at least more competent than India.How bad could they possibly be?
>>65401195It isn’t, it’s moreso about the awacs that were present at the time and the fact that jeets are jeets.
>>65402418Jeets have AWACs too and Pakis are a 1:1 genetic match with Jeets
>>65402435Just because you have AWACs doesn't mean you'll actually use them correctly. I hate everyone from that subcontinent, but credit where credit is due, the Pakis actually utilized their airforce more effectively than India did.I imagine the JF-17 is a fine aircraft, but if faced with an actual competent airforce, I can't imagine they'll hold up as well as they did against the Indians.
>>65400474What does France get in return, two hundred million indians worth of mass migration?
What the fuck is a "lakh crore"
>>65402460>What the fuck is a "lakh crore" A retarded multiplier used by the jeets because "it's tradishunal". It translates into "a hundred thousand ten million", a.k.a. one trillion.
>>65402477At least chinese and japanese have the good spirit of only using thousand and ten thousand.
>>65402453money they can use to try and fund their "6th" gen program. that they will then sell to the jeets in order to fund their 7th or 8th gen program
>>65402138Bastard Britisher system
>>65402448It was the J-10C that popped 3 Rafales
>>65402448>but if faced with an actual competent airforcethis depends on what your definition of an "actual competent air force" is.Are you referring to one which, say, operates, F-35s? in which case yes, obviously the Jeff and its airframe/capabilities are going to eat shit like any other 4th-gen going up against them (Britain's shitty F35Bs don't count.)Are you referring to an air force which doesn't have the most modern gear out there but nonetheless operates a large force of relatively modern 4/4.5th-gens and has a decent training regimen, level of technological know-how and ethos? in which case i'd say that describes the Indian air force pretty well.As moronic as the Indians were to Leeroy Jai-Hind their way directly into a big elaborate Pakistani ambush on the first day of that aerial clash without first putting the finishing touches on their Rafale datalinks last year, they adapted relatively quickly and seem to have dropped a fair amount of ordinance on assigned targets without any further losses after regrouping from the black eye they got from the J10s/Jeffs. This counts for something even if you want to understandably take the stance that the Pakistanis were more competent in the air overall.
