It's just another 25 jets in addition to the 40 already earmarked for conversion for handling the brahmos. So about 3 squadrons in total. So large majority (10 squadrons or so) will remain air-dominance mainly, hopefully with sound focus on what you mention regarding this "super sukhoi"...

I doubt the AF will be in the first wave of brahmos attacks (those will be G2G brahmos)....this is for follow up of what remains, it is better to have that aerial vector option in subsequent waves rather than not have it....to destroy on the ground as much infrastructure and assets as possible...

Depends what the IAF plans to do "all out" in a first phase of a conflict to achieve a result. The internal wargaming and analysis matters. So in a multirole platform you will trade off some capability for another...depending on this.

We know where they stand after doing extensive sustained and deep training especially with the Singaporeans and Israelis and number of western AF's . How Russia uses theirs is their own problem.

Shoe on the other foot for a hypothetical.....would you say same thing if India (nuclear power) did same with Bangladesh (non nuclear power).... that all those helping BD really should not humiliate Modi (or whomever is in power at the time and relations having deteriorated by similar various...

These things in the end can only be (truly) realised if there is an actual war and then analyse things in hindsight after it. Something none of us should wish for. In interim India like any country does what it can to prepare for wars that hopefully never have to happen. India must focus on...

Sure so I am just talking about break down of principle when it comes to realism (power)....China and the Uighurs illustrates it a great deal. Does a country get to do anything it likes (even with its own citizens) as long as its powerful enough? The US killed and negatively affected many...

We are a continent of a country with a continent of challenges (inherited, created, renewed for all kind of reasons which is long and off topic). No country, especially this size, has perfect line and sequence of govts/administrations....given there are things that rest in the psyche of the...

Australia is low population country with tons of resources per capita. Its economic model is relatively assured this way. Innovation is not such pressing concern, though good to have....and I would say Australia is doing fine to hedge here as much as it can. It can also keep attracting talent...

According to this report, the path is pretty clear for both countries as though there are improvements across the various factors to still do.....there is in both cases one factor that stands out as major obstacle that make their combined average lot worse than it needs to be. For India its...
