QuinQ:
I read your comment. It is deceptive about India vs Nigeria percapita GDP. At least we agree that India is a third world country and everything there looks third-world

QuinQ:
But you can clearly see from the video that India is a third world country na.
I am the one who praised Indians in the video for being friendly and non-racist but India's per capita is not so higher than Nigeria. See below. By comparison Japan was 34K same year

India says its Navy will lead future attacks against Pakistan. Apparently, India is clearly disappointed in its air force. That is what you get when you fill your air force with junk western jets that are only superior on paper and against enemies without an air force or air defence system.

This past month clearly proved that the Indian air force’s glory days of wiping Pakistan’s face in the mud is over. The fact that India started the air war and then went on to lose it even makes the whole thing worse.

Hopefully, the Indian navy will deliver in future wars and clashes. Their primary land attack missile is the BrahMos, which is jointly developed by India and Russia. This is the weapon India is banking on in its future clashes with Pakistan. It should deliver.

common India that more than half of her population is poorer than the average Nigerians is here callings huge fees for us all in the name of Visa fee.

The Russia-Ukraine war and other wars.

My opinion is that it was an undesirable outcome for the Soviet Union to split. There was nothing that necessitated such an outcome. It will therefore be good if the breakaway republics can come back together as one. The war between Russia and Ukraine can potentially go on for decades if not resolved and people will continue dying needlessly in large numbers.
Russia and Ukraine used to be one country and it will be good if they can end the war and become one country again.
Our civilization should have outgrown wars. We should be at a level whereby we solve all our differences civilly via debates.
The same also applies to the problem between Israel and Palestine, India and Pakistan and etc.
We have the same natural resources on Earth or even less than we had when there was only a few hundreds of millions of people on Earth, yet we are better off materially and etc than them despite being over eight billion in population. This shows that management is what we need as we have everything in abundance. We should have outgrown wars.

Gbadebo19:
Because, every drone is a military asset, or is it the entire Romanian airspace that is a militarized zone? Low level thinking at its peak.

tnerro1:
Isreal should show India how to take on terrorism

Biodun556:
With the way Chinese economy and technology is going it could overtake both Russia and US

India military in the top 5 fell like a pack of cards against ordinary Pakistan. It's not by ranking jare

Lol, 🤣 using Wikipedia as a source of information shows you don't even know what you are saying. It's a well known fact in the aviation community India has never produced a jet fighter independently. The primary core of very fighter is the engine. Then then avionics. Non is produced in India. From your logic, if I buy a car engine and electrical system from bmw to produce a vehicle. I independently produced that vehicle. I have been following fighter jet forums since 2012. Even the Indians in the forum never once claimed to produce a jet independently. Russia, China and USA all produce their jets independently. In the early 2000s China produced in collaboration with Russia. India is yet to produce any independent jet. Accept the facts as it is. India has no independently made fighter jet.

agentarcher:
LCA Tejas Mk1 and mk1a are both designed by the India government in collaboration with GE Aerospace's who designs and manufacture the F404-GE-IN20 engines for the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

The jet they discontinued and the ones in prototype are all in collaboration with a company from USA and Russia. Same goes for the India hypesonic missile which is mostly Russia tech in an India body.

GE Aerospace's is in USA. The engine, avionics, missile guidance system, are not designed or manufactured in India. Only the body and system language is. No country buys India fighter jet because they know the direct source. They design the boby of their jets and test the aerodynamics. But all core component is imported.

agentarcher:
India co produces it's fighter jets. Name one India fighter jet that wasn't in collaboration with Russia or USA?

IMEI:
You should be careful about taking India's word for it

They've been consistently ranked highest in the world for misinformation and disinformation

DeathParade:
Its medium..... drone swarms can be targeted effectively by only four means:-
Electronic Warfare (EW)
Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) [Lasers and Masers]
AAA and CRAM/CIWS
MicroSAM

In the Indian scenario:
EW
Systems already in service with Indian Army and Air Force and some smaller one even available with Border Security Force, so readiness level high.

DEW
Current Indian Laser tech has only managed 30kW Laser weapons which are in service with the Indian Forces in small numbers. Can only handle smaller quad/hexacopters, not larger fixed wing kamikaze drones like Shahed 136. India's DRDO currently working on 60kW and 100kW laser systems that will be comparable to the latest American systems in power rating. But it'll take at least 10 years before the Indian Forces start inducting these in large numbers.

AAA, CIWS, CRAM
India has around 1000 older Bofors L70 AAA guns out of which 200 were modernized by Indian industry and its these 200 guns that were the MVP of this skirmish. The Pakis were sending around 400-500 kamikaze drones each wave (watch Indian Ministry Briefings of last three days). And the guns managed to shoot down EVERY single drone.

The Indian conglomerate Larsen & Tubro has created a new 40mm CIWS called Sudarshan. It has a muzzle programmable airburst round similar to the Oerlikon Millenium gun and its AHEAD ammo. This is currently the best solution to drone swarms in the world. Indian Air Force had already placed an order of 240 Sudatshan CIWS, which is enough to protect every single Indian Airbase from all directions. Indian Army is still holding weapons trials for this system but once cleared, they'll order 1000 Sudarshan CIWS, to replace all old Bofors L70 guns.

MicroSAM and Missile CIWS
Two systems have finished design phase and are now undergoing live testing. First is Bhargavastra, a MicroSAM. And the next is DRDO/Adani VSHORADs. Both will enter service in next 3 years.

Radars and other EOTS
The radars and EOTS to tackle massive drone swarms are all ready as per the Indian industry but only half way through their introduction in the Indian Armed Forces.

Once all the above finally enter into Indian service within next 5 years (except Lasers), the ability of IACCS to handle drone swarms will increase by a factor of 10 or more compared to right now. Then I would rate it very high instead of medium.

There is also ADGMS program, but that's to protect Indian Army when it rolls into Pakistan, so I'll leave it be.

Biodun556:
Why was India calling for cease fire if your claim is true?

India could not handle her sophisticated weapons well. It is not about number

Tinfoil:
An important takeaway from the recent India Pakistan conflict was the importance of long range air defence systems.

Pakistani aircraft were weary of getting close to indian airspace and also many of their ballistic missiles were intercepted resulting in Pakistan suffering way more damage.

The s400 proved it's worth

Biodun556:
Strategy and how to use military equipments also play major role. Pakistan demonstrated that in their recent confrontation

Pakistan can withstand India with its military alliance with China and Pakistan

Bittersweetnig:
since you are new, i don't know how to explain to you. the entire nation army been battling these insurgents for over 15years, they've killed thousands of soldiers, they've killed 100s of thousands to millions of civilians. They recruited Thier fighters outside and you are comparing it with Indian, if 1% of that happens in India, all the Indian army will participate in the operation

Rossikk:
Same with the Nigerian military, or they would have wiped out the terrorists in 1 day.

They are restrained in how they can fight back, to avoid civilian casualties.

agentarcher:
They don't manufacture jets independently. It's in Pakistan manufactures in colab with China, India with Russia. Most of India advance fighters are from France. And both countries invest heavily on military since they expect one day they will go all out on the battlefield. USA will not do collaboration with Nigeria, neither will France or UK. And they will not want us to invite Russia or China.

Bittersweetnig:
and boko haram just dislodged soldiers yesterday and kill them real bad, but here you keep attack helicopter for celebration display, are these people normal at all?

Biodun556:
What is the Indian objective?

Watcharena:
very important question, because I don't understand ,There was a terrorist attack in India ,instead of looking for solution you went to attack Pakistan who is also a victim of terrorist attack few months back.

Now India lost it reputation and probably it also lost it ability to buy modern weapons from the west, because no body want to see his high-end tech been defeated in battle field

If you missed it....Pakistan just confessed!

"Pulwama was tactical brilliance. Now we've shown operational progress"

That's Pakistan Army admitting Pulwama wasn't the doing of faceless terrorists. It was state-backed

Every time they glorify terror as a 'tactical op', they… pic.twitter.com/yknxWF9ole

Biodun556:
Exactly

Biodun556:
Nothing like paradigm shift until the two countries challenge each other again

Indian was mistakenly relying on old glory, ignoring Pakistan advance military build up

For instance India is yet to get 5th generation fighter jets while Pakistan was busy amassing it . Russia lobbied India to buy or help mass produce SU 57, but India was dragging feet.

Olatunji1929:
this one just come from nowhere and started claiming to be India while debunking everything that goes against India bro all what you too have been parroting here are propaganda so stop fooling people here with your propaganda

Bigsam99:
I deliberately posted this there for the sake of pro-western bots here who eat and drink every misinformation from the western media. I am sure now those who want India to win will dispute this but will never dispute any nonsense CNN puts out in favour of Ukraine or Israel.

Bigsam99:
For those seeking to know the stats of the India-pakistan conflict according to CNN.

NOETHNICITY:
All this India lies have been debunked by their own sources and their citizens are mad at the government for misleading them with lies

By the way, Trump announced an India-Pakistan ceasefire.

shoodboi2:
Big scam. India should have just stuck to Russian jets. Pakistan used to buy western jets before pivoting to Chinese jets. But for some reason, India went from buying Russian jets to buying western jets.

Even after buying those French Rafales, they considered buying F16s and F21s from the US and are in talks to purchase the F35. The F21 itself is a specifically modified version of the F16 made specifically for India.

But as usual, India will only end up shooting itself in the foot with such jets because of the many rules and conditions the US will impose against them. Western jets are usually all hype and noise, and they will still slam usage rules against you.

Pakistan itself cannot use its own F16’s against India because of US rules against such. The US also withheld spare parts from Pakistan some years ago over political issues. The case will be no different with India.
