    and you think we can't see in advance the arrival of Chinese planes???? in France, we have an OTH or Trans Horizon radar, it is located 60 km west of Paris, everyone knows it in Europe, even the Russians, it is so powerful and efficient, which detected the takeoff of the Ariane rocket in Kourou in South America, more than 7000 km, we can follow air traffic over Ukraine and a large part of Russia close to Europe, we can even follow the planes which ride on the slopes, even beyond the horizon line!! it is called the NOSTRADAMUS, it is made up of 3 branches spaced 120° apart from a central point, each branch 120 meters long is equipped with several dozen dipole type antennas! it managed to follow a 4x4 in the dunes of the Sahara, yes, it even detects on the ground! and he followed 2x American B2 type stealth bombers more than 2000 km away! same transponder turned off or without Luneburg lenses! we have another OTH radar in the south of France, which monitors the Mediterranean Sea!! he can follow all the boats! it's the TRADIVARIUS (named after the Italian violin or cello manufacturer! nothing can escape them! so before Chinese planes arrive, the Rafales will already have taken off, it takes 6 minutes in France to get our Rafales off the ground!

    India needs at least two more Rafale squadron for Hasimara and Ambala so that more numbers of fighters are patrolling in the Air. Currently India's AWACS strength are not in required numbers so Airforce need to keep pressure on government of india. I wonder if we have any AWACS deployed in the eastern region. Not sure why we are not procuring more Advance Phalcon AWACS from Israel in parallel developing our own system. It will take time for us to build advance sensors and masters in the weaponry. Airforce need force multiplier from fighter aircraft, AWACS, Mid Air refuller, Combat Capable UAV and multi layered missile defence systems.

    Rafale is a smart choice for India it’s a great platform and a step away from Russian military tech which has consistently underperformed in its invasion of Ukraine. India should consider the carrier version as well as it allows easy conversion between both forces in the event of a naval or land conflict.

    Superb program, Vishnu, in your inimitable style and grace/humility. And the AM - What a thorough officer and gentleman! In Lean manufacturing terms, a true “Servant-Leader”, humble, articulate/well-spoken; knows the value of the foot soldier/airman and none of the pompous and ceremonial aura staff/command officers often project! IAF is truly well-served by such officers and of course, equally capable frontline forces (including the unsung heroes, the ground personnel)! Remembering my late uncle, who sadly perished way too young in a crash; commanded 108 Sqn. 🙏🙌 And of course, last but not least, the machine itself! Reliable, sophisticated yet rugged, another in a series of truly global products from France! Applaud this government’s sense of urgency and purpose to upgrade service capabilities! Long-neglected, hoping this momentum continues. Kudos…enjoy such presentations. 🙏

    Even if one imagines Rafale to be the best fighter in the world, there is no evidence of its indigenisation, at least I can't find any. On the other hand, China whom Rafales are supposed to counter, is using world-class pulsating production lines to speed up deliveries of its advanced J-20 Mighty Dragon stealth jet fighters. Pulsed production lines are manufacturing systems that use intermittent production cycles, where production occurs in short bursts or pulses, followed by periods of rest or downtime. The application of the new pulsating production lines and domestic engines had pushed the number of J-20s to equal, or even exceed, the number of US F-22 Raptors. Few Rafales will be no competition to PLAAF. China would be able to produce J-20s at its will, but India will not be able to import as many as it will need if a confrontation really happens - Dassault is already hard-pressed to scale up production to meet India's 84 import order besides its existing commitment to the French Armed Forces.

    It is not India's cutting edge. It is a stop gap till Tejas is perfected (Mark 2 had already come a long way). Never rely on foreigners for critical technology. It WILL bite us in the long run (esp. when we at the time when we would strongly require their support)

    If only the government those days were brave enough to take the Indigenous fighter jet Marut ahead, India today would have been the beast in fighter jets industry,selling millions rather than spending millions in buying. .

    Rafales are GOOD. But, SU57 Talon is THE BEST AI fighter jet really!
