In this video, we dive into the growing concerns surrounding the Indian Air Force (IAF) and its capabilities amid increasing competition from regional rivals like Pakistan and China. With IAF squadrons dwindling and modernization efforts falling short, we explore the challenges faced by the IAF, particularly the delays in the indigenization drive led by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).
We also examine the strategic dilemma India faces in deciding between Russia’s offer of the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter jet with technology transfer and co-production or the US’s F-35 aircraft with limited technology sharing. The video discusses the urgency of upgrading India’s air power to ensure national security and sovereignty. Should India opt for Russian aircraft or continue its partnership with the US?
Tune in to understand the critical decisions ahead for India’s defense strategy.
