Ironically reminds me of another air force back home.
One of my favorite bits of P-47 trivia: in the Korean war, the USAF simply did not have the right tool for close air support. The P-51s they were using were not designed for it and were exceptionally vulnerable to ground fire. The leaders who remembered the success of the P-47
One of my favorite bits of P-47 trivia: in the Korean war, the USAF simply did not have the right tool for close air support. The P-51s they were using were not designed for it and were exceptionally vulnerable to ground fire. The leaders who remembered the success of the P-47 in that mission specifically because of its ruggedness were begging for P-47, but there were only a couple of ANG squadrons left and it was...just too hard. The Smartest People in the Room™ convinced everyone it would not be needed. Just another example that you should always question the transformationalist "all war is new" Smartest People in the Room™ every single time.
Some great footage of P-47D “Peggy Short/Pee-Wee”(and friends) from 1945 at Fritzlar, Germany assigned to the 386th Fighter Squadron, 365th Fighter Group (Hell Hawks) and flown by 1st Lt. Cecil R. Ettinger, who completed 65 missions and scored his only kill on April 18th, 1945.🫡
China started its passenger jet program in 2008 with bottomless state funding, a protected home market of 1,500+ aircraft demand, and a directive that domestic airlines would buy whatever COMAC built. Eighteen years later the C919 has delivered 37 aircraft, still flies on American engines and Western avionics, and won't get European certification before 2028. Airbus delivers more planes in a month than COMAC has in the programme's entire history. India's sole indigenous civil aircraft, a 19-seater, first flew in 2004 and is still not certified. Civil aviation is arguably one of the hardest manufacturing clubs in the world to enter, and we have not even taken the initial baby steps required to enter it.

@Platypuss_10 Do it the conventional way, yes the hurdles are massive, but at least you have the option to pivot when the time comes for a type rating.
Also, all isn't lost when it comes to current and future programs for the IAF. Both Tejas and AMCA will have birthed the cadre of specialists within IAF who'll thread the needle between resolving engineering issues and program KPI deficits while tackling management and administrative challenges. But it's time the senior @IAF_MCC also take some accountability and bat for actually shutting down foreign ToT deals and instead double down on massive investment in domestic R&D, manufacturing and testing capabilities. Long story short, the IAF needs to have ownership of the development from end to end alongside its Industry partner, a feature currently missing given the litany of instances where it was noted to have changed or mangled the development process long after several maturity gates were passed.
@SandeepUnnithan @IAF_MCC @indiannavy @IndiaToday For @IAF_MCC to be in the driver's seat of any program, it needs to have program executive offices that have personnel who can boast of having been part of numerous projects or have vast manufacturing and management experience. So, the essential question is, are such people from

Starting salary for a B.E/B.Tech Aero graduate fresh off the block is just ₹25000-30000. Make of that what you will.
@whatsupbossmam @Archeon1234 Also, you ain't the first moron to try this. Do better :)
@whatsupbossmam @Archeon1234 Sounds less like an accusation and more like a confession from you. Did you use AI to get into @iitmadras? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
A communist China is more casteist than a democratic India.
USSR is dead. Russia severely weakened and getting rekt in Ukraine. No path to harmony with China atm Indian MIC isn't there yet Plus long term foolishness by GoI+Forces in terms of Jets, Engines, Inducting indigenous hardware etc. Don't have a great power backing us anymore
Indira: *Invades a treaty American ally* *Gets massive military build up with the help of USSR* *Conducts nuclear test* *America supplies food aid anyway* Top Ji: Yes saar we are good saar my fraaand saar thank you saar *gets tarrifed*
Kek. First time I've seen an Indian journalist say something profound. Kudos sire. There are still mards in our media establishment.
I think Trump secretly, or not so secretly, covets the title Field Marshal. And if he can’t have it in America, he enjoys it vicariously through Munir. He could also add Egypt’s Sisi and the Libyan Haftar as well…
PSUs suck. Capabilities are paramount. We need to import NOW!!. Wait it's not a PSU this time.

India’s foes could not ask for a more inept enemy
Between January 2025 and June 2026, Pakistan placed six Earth-observation satellites in orbit. For a space programme that managed nine launches in its first six decades, a former ISRO official has compared the new pace to a man with a walking disability outrunning Usain Bolt.
For @IAF_MCC to be in the driver's seat of any program, it needs to have program executive offices that have personnel who can boast of having been part of numerous projects or have vast manufacturing and management experience. So, the essential question is, are such people from the IAF in the room with us? If not, then it's an institutional failing on their part and largely explains why unlike the @indiannavy it has failed to indigenize and create successful domestic programs.
The Indian navy has decades of project management and design experience alongside a dedicated design bureaus (NDB) What experience does the Indian air force have beyond writing fantasy ASQRs of managing a project of this scale and complexity? The navy declares itself a ‘builders navy’, the IAF pours scorn over its domestic industry in public This demand will ensure AMCA never sees the light of day
Sanghis fundamentally do not understand the concept of Chagnonpill. Pakistanis literally blew up American soldiers for fun, and today, Pakistan is getting more American military aid.
@HQuarterma43504 Nehru's biggest criticism was that he was the virtue signalling retard. Menon was lecturing the same USA, when we were dependent on their food aid. Retard could not ensure food security until his death. All he left behind is license raj spawns like you.

Manmohan used to hold press conference only to inform people of India that "paise ped pe nhi ugte"
Longest serving Prime Minister never held any press conference but he used to frequently mock former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh by calling him "Maun-mohan" who held highest number of press conferences.

A ceremony for the declaration of Final Operational Clearance (FOC) of Netra Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) System is planned on 25 June 2026 at Centre for Airborne Systems (CABS), DRDO, Bengaluru.
