What's Your Opinion : "Converting 11 C-17 into Mini Cruise Bombers" ? ＬＩＫＥ | ＣＯＭＭＥＮＴ | ＳＨＡＲＥ | ＳＵＢＳＣＲＩＢＥ

[@mayanktripathi8726]

not stealthy enough...stand off distance is ok..BUT stand-off distance launch + Stealth would had been much better

[@souleffects_23]

Must be done. Utilization of each resource for maximum output is vital. Precise value addition.

[@AnirbanSarkar203]

Tejas MK2 makes no sense, IAF will have over 200+ LCA Tejas MK1A, MK1B etc, so additional single engine fighter platform is waste of money, instead IAF should've opted for 250+ numbers of twin engine ORCA, IAF itself is confused, on one hand they want Tejas 2 coz LCA can't fulfill big roles but on the other hand they want MRFA as well since even Tejas 2 can't fulfill bigger roles, so why make it in the first place, if the numbers of Tejas 2 & MRFA are combined then it becomes 274, plus 45 TEDBF takes it to 319 numbers. All MOD needs to do is fastrack the TEDBF+ORCA program & scrap both Tejas 2 & MRFA & allocate all those funds for this big ORCA+TEDBF program. As for AMCA, it'll need minimum 30 years to materialise

[@firetree2007]

can it work? sure, game changer? no. One thing for India is, they just see what the USAF doing then they imitate, and think they can do the same, however, they do not think first, the USAF has air superiority, IAF does not. A transporter with cruise missile or a gunship is for close air support mission, the conditions is you need to have no enemy jets around you, or how can a transporter survive for itself? let alone support the ground.

If Indian Navy gets 3 aircraft carriers, minimum 72 tedbf will be needed apart from 26 Rafale M...its safe to assume that Indian navy will order 100+ Tedbf...but first order will be 40+, also Navy is developing new bases now..so demand will considerably improve

Nope, Total requirement is around 90 jets considering number of jets operated by Navy for 2 carriers. With 26 Rafale, total requirement is around 60+ only. It makes TEDBF not viable option at all. Why to waste money on program which will take another 15 years to get first 4th gen jet.

[@sanjeevbhaskar5472]

AMCA number would not go beyond 200 Whereas TEDBF requirement will go beyond 500 units required by Navy and Air force. Air force will need something to complement Tejas Mk2. Su30 Mki will not stay with Air force after 2040 or maximum 2050. That's when Twin engine TEDBF will fill the gap created by Su30 retirement. It probably would need little fine tuning to meet Air forces requirement. Tejas Mk2 and TEDBF will become backbone of Indian defense.

[@BSingh-bv6pw]

IAF should consider ORCA (air force version of TEDBF) as it'd lower the development & manufacturing cost of the aircraft. ORCA would be able to match even French Rafale as it'd be powered by twin engines.

I disagree with TEDBF issues. I think TEDBF is very important, and Navy should order more than 45 if they're going to induct more carriers in the future. Budget may well be expensive, but do you know what's even more expensive: the US spending trillions upon trillions to make a single engine F35 fighter a jack of all trades, but not excel at any particular thing, that's why they're desperate to sell to recoup their losses. Russians are right in their philosophy in fighter jets of making a specific one for each purpose. TEDBF will also be the building blocks for a true next gen carrier fighter.
