Dominance by numbers, better BVR wpns (lacunae from IAF side as it awaited MRFA?), EW spprt, suppress IAF CAP while it launched "PR strikes" to assuage restive populace and avenge prior nights humiliation.

https://twitter.com/anangbhai/status/1595734008067129344India has to deliver the programs per a set schedule, to the quality standards set by its AF, the "sales" are a given. The highest risk is actually in Phase 2 of the AMCA. Those 4 squadrons are a high risk. Tejas Mk2, AMCA Phase 1 rely on a proven engine, so are lower risk.
https://twitter.com/The_China_Chap/status/1550842332056268800Let's take a look at merely one, of the programs they've mentioned in this article, the Astra. "Authors research" is about putting an extra cimn indicating time lines missed etc. No real look at what making an Astra entails, why so few countries attempt this, let alone succeed.
https://twitter.com/Ramandeep_Bajwa/status/1542535992057671681We are told "The IAF has also... pointed out several shortcomings, including short combat range, underpowered engine and inadequate weapon-carrying capacity." Now, the IAF may compare the Tejas vis a vis its even heavier platforms but you brought up the JF-17. So please tell us..

https://twitter.com/lca_tejas_/status/1485265618295455746The Tejas is a delta plan form, similar to the Mirage 2000, with, per its pilots, an even better handling FBW. Frees up the pilot to focus on mission, weapons handling. FBW takes into account all external atmospheric, aircraft flight conditions and optimizes comtrol response.
https://twitter.com/blackbirds91/status/1338203418385498112Consider the Tejas, a fighter which CAG notes suffered from the lack of an IAF liason group all the way from 1989. The IAF has no program management organization, so as a result all its efforts are ad hoc, program dependent. Capable officers are often posted out.

What does that say then for the rest of their asinine pop anthropology they print about different countries? What does it say for their editors and the authors?

https://twitter.com/delhidefence/status/1314503865769709570The vast majority of PRC SAMs and PAF SAMs are vulnerable to a 250km class missile. Nothing prevents India from extending the concept further via even longer ranged ARMs. The IAF will use these against both FCRs and Surveillance radars.

https://twitter.com/rebelhealth1/status/1263117567096479744The problem is there are far too many agenda peddlers, err science reporters, all too willing to carry an editorial agenda pre-decided continents away or within the local left rabble rousers office. If any other country investigates native medicine which may have + effects, wow!
