The second batch of Rafales for IAF (perhaps 36 more) are likely to happen regardless of any other deal. We don't know which version they could be (more of the same F3R, F4.1 or perhaps F4.2, with all ISEs obviously which seem lacking on other export Rafales). But the price will come down...

Nice - I still remember the days when everyone was buying Typhoon left right & centre and Rafale was internationally ignored. But now the tables are turned. Have to hand it to the French for sticking with it and developing the platform into a truly advanced & mature system. For example, Typhoon...

A very good article on the matter of Taiwan's submarine program, and on the cooperation its receiving by its friends (and China's potential enemies): https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/taiwan-china-submarines/ "Taipei’s chief foreign weapons supplier, the United States, has...

Thanks! As of the Gowind, like @Nilgiri said it's only a placeholder for now - given the actual design of NGC is not yet public, I just chose whatever seemed to be the most logical (to me). Why choose a foreign design? I'd say the compulsions are similar as to why the US went with Fincantieri's...

For some reason, Indian media calls all Indian ships since P-17 Shivalik (as well as the Talwar-class) as stealth - its laughable. Yes they all have some degree of design built to induce deflection of radar but that in of itself can hardly make them stealth! If these are stealth, then what are...

It's a hypothetical but it doesn't reflect reality of their ORBAT. How would it be okay for the SSF to leave its critical operational roles for both defense of Chinese mainland & offense against SCS navies (plus possible US involvement) and sail into a near-permanent IOR deployment? The...

No problem. @Nilgiri is your guy. Yes but where? The IN has no intention of challenging or fighting PLAN inside the SCS, at least not alone. The force design is mostly for ensuring security of the IOR region and preventing PLAN from using the region against Indian interests in war time. No...
