Attacked? Maybe.
Where is the evidence that you sank it? Or did you just post that without verifying?

I am only quoting an IDF video I watched and news platforms on social media.. My assertion has a backing of "substance" i got it from a source that can be veted upon and it authenticity can be checked if the claim is true or false.

Yours is simply imagination, pure fantasy, Ten planes refused to drop their payloads, Israeli jets were nearly shut down and your source is a just "Israeli media"... Israeli media is a broad term, that itself shows lack of authenticity.

Russia has offered the Su-57 to India since 2012.
At a time, India ordered 200 units.
India then shut down the acquisition process to focus on their indigenous jet.
But with the recent bust of their indigenous engine program, Russia is moving fast to restart those acquisition talks.

Algeria will receive a Su-57 this year or next.
I think the delivery will be expedited after the Iran debacle.
The Kremlin is facing private accusations of being an unreliable partner, so watch out for them performing backflips for current partners they have a long-term relationship with.
India, Algeria, Belarus, Cuba, et al.

Putin even offered the Su-57 to Turkey.

Iran should turn to China, foster that relationship, and leave a door open for Russia.
It might work out to be a good thing for Iran. Russia only built <10 Su-57 last year. China makes that number of 5th gens in a month.

The "latest bust" in the Indian Kaveri jet engine program is hardly latest. Its not even recent. This happened 17 years ago, in 2008. The program hasn't been properly funded since then.

This news is just some journalist with a vested interest grasping at straws to push his agenda by putting 17 years old wine in new bottle.

IRL, the Indian jet engine program is currently undergoing a possible renaissance. Trump's general unpredictability and the recent shifts in global geopolitics have put indigenous supply chains and self reliance in focus. Government of India is, for the first time ever, considering encoding Technology sovereignty into the official Indian policy and national goal, similar to the Indian quest for Energy sovereignty

In that context, consider that USA is in a position to seriously affect four Indian fighter jet programs: LCA Tejas Mk1A. MWF Tejas Mk2. ADA AMCA and ADA TEDBF. All four of these are powered by American GE 404 and GE 414 jet engines. USA has been delaying delivery of the GE 404 and the contract to produce the GE 414 in India has also not been signed yet. All this at a time when Indian Air Force fighter fleet is in dire need of new fighter jets due to the old fighters retiring. IAF has a sanctioned strength of 42.5 fighter jet squadrons in order to take on both China and Pakistan at the same time (as per official policy). But IAF has fallen to 31 active fighter squadrons right now. And almost half the remaining squadrons are slated for retirement in the next 10 years. And at this time, the only hope of IAF are the four Indian jet programs I mentioned. And all four are at the mercy of Uncle Sam and his GE engines.

This is making the government of India reconsider the decision that it took in 2008: The decision to stop the Kaveri engine program for fighter jets.

All this is happening as the Kaveri Derivative Engine (a dry, non afterburning variant of the Kaveri is currently undergoing flight tests on a flying testbed). This engine is meant to power the Ghatak stealth UCAV of India.

The problem in the afterburner section of the Kaveri engine back when the program was shut down was flow instability and screech. These have recently been solved by the GTRE. Additionally, DMRL has recently achieved good progress in the Technology of multilayer Thermal Barrier Coatings that can make the Kaveri engine hit some of its performance figures.

If the Indian government decided to fund a family of Indian jet fighter engines today, we'll have an 4th generation Indian jet engine certified for flight ops within 10 years. That is still 10 years of dependency on Uncle Sam, but still better than nothing.

Now, the Russian offers have another angle. Su 35 will never be accepted, the IAF is looking for 120-odd medium class jets. Su 35 is Heavy class, same as Su 30 MKI that we already fly. Makes exactly zero sense to go for the Su35.

The big one is Su 57. India's own stealth jet, the ADA AMCA, is hostage to American pressures. And its late. Su 57 is the only stealth jet India can buy as a stop gap. The real threat is from PLAAF fielding stealthy J20 and J35 against us. Pakistan is also slated to get J35 soon, but that threat is still manageable without relying on Su 57. But the Chinese threat is a different story. It will be almost impossible to fight the Chinese properly without a stealth jet of our own, be it the ADA AMCA or the Su57.

Gag order law

In USA means ability of USA gov to force an employee to spy for them against any one they work for and don't tell the boss you work for

Lol

If they can do this to their citizens imagine what they are doing to other countries

Somebody should check on this dude's mental health.

⚡Former Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovoit shot himself in Moscow.

He was dismissed from his post earlier today.

Reports, Ex-Kursk region official Smirnov, formerly Starovoit's deputy, testified against him.

Smirnov is under arrest for alleged embezzlement of 1 billion rubles during the construction of protective infrastructure in Kursk region.

Hey, nothing so far says he shot himself. He was found shot. And you didn't tell us he was the former governor of Kursk. Is there something pissing Pootin off?

Lunatics.

⚡Indirect negotiations in Doha between Israel and Hamas ended without progress, according to Palestinian officials.

Efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas have so far yielded no breakthrough, a Palestinian official told AFP following a round of indirect talks held Monday morning in Doha.

The outcome is the peace talk is predictable. Hamas will not release hostages, not caring for further bloodshed amongst Palestinians. Israel too will not agree to any ceasefire unless hostages are released.

Both parties with stronghead that prolongs the war and unnecessary deaths of Palestinians. It's pathetic.

We were told some days ago that Israel agreed the peace deal. Then we learned that Hamas accepted the deal, only to hear that Israel was reviewing the same deal, and now this.

As they say, the devil is in the details.

The IDF has been suffering casualties from Hamas. Killing civilians is the only place where they shine.

I opened the leader's Facebook page. It was refreshing to see that most people can see through the conspiracy even though he's trying to deny it

And come to think of it, this is the same Gaza that some people want you to believe was free from Israeli control before 2023.

The guy is seriously seeking validation. His Facebook is an entire comic magazine on its own. He wasn't aware that Israel was going to reveal their relationship. He thought Israel was going to keep it a secret. Once Israel revealed it, he went all comical, issuing denials and all.

There goes your "mother Russia". What say you, self robed lover of Africa.
Who knows, maybe those guys cum president are just Wagner terrorists

This is probably a coded message to Iran we are ready to sell or supply nuke to you

Hope Iran can understand the code

⚡Israeli Defense Minister Katz:

We are working to create an enforcement plan against the rehabilitation of Iranian capabilities.

We are concerned about the possibility that various countries might assist Iran in restoring its capabilities.

You will labor in vain.

You can as well threaten to turn Beijing to Gaza.

CLOWN!
