Worst of the worst thing they did 

Air power ni neglect chesaru 

Now China is getting 6th generation 

India can't even get 4rth generation 

Inka eppudu melkuntaro

F35 ivvaru

China ni ela face chestharu 

Pakis  ela face chestharu

India has a lost decade from 2004-2014, it is hard to win a race after few falls

 

no matter what we do since the last 10 yrs, our paltry 2% GDP can never catch up with china

all we can do it build self defense, we have no offensive capability between brahmos and nuclear weapons.

average citizens wants their immediate needs, politicians want to win nearest elections. country does not have a long term vision that matches with China and US.

Technology matters to defend 

Economy is another thing 

India needs to be like Israel and Pakistan against China 

Air power lo pakis kantey ghoram 

Congi disaster ee vishayam lo

Air chief marshal complaining on a public news channel about alarming low numbers in our fleet. Forget about moderenization .. made in india is a failure under modi leadership  ..lower than fleet size from 1965 nehrus time . 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ you can only fake to a certain degree on paid media. 

Current challenges :

Mark 2 4.5 generation is facing impossible delays..should have been induced by now..and doesnt look they will be ready even in 2025.

And 5.5 AMCA, which is future and supposed to take first test flight in 2034 -2035 will never be ready as no progress made in project design ohase and poor budget/ no funding ..no confirmation on engine design initiation.. its pure lack of intent from current leadership!!!

Engine delay. GE is set to start delivering engines starting March, at the rate of 16 engines per year, that will take about 4 yesrs to deliver 71 engines. Literally 3 year delay. 

With that time frame, Mach 2 wont be ready by 2026. MK1 only six more to be delivered and production line will start MK2 sometime in March and with expected 12 planes per year, it will take 2030 to deliver the MK2. 

LCA is crucial, ideal for everyday operations and recon. I see this number going up by upto 200-300 by 2035. Low cost of operations, indigenous and service facilities, etc. Its like having a gas saver car along with a gas guzzling SUV.

This is the life saver. Hypersonic and advance surveillance systems are the need of the hour. 

Next 10 years varaku air superiority and defence la bokkalu fill cheyadam kastame, Better to develop hypersonic SAM’s and drones. 

I remember Israel’s Elbit have set up R and D in India to develop warning systems, Don’t know where they are now….
