    Jesus ... you are looking damn fit and cool next to that plane. You are for sure creating a vaccum in everyones mind to give a thought to other options that our MOD had either neglected or not publicly publicised...... I appreciate your work...

    Hope to see the Arjun report soon...Thanks

    So, you are saying you were really busy having a new suit made, hence no time to blog?

    That's right, Cujo, I was getting that suit stitched. Good tailors don't work fast.

    And good journalists don't write articles too quickly either.

    By the way, nobody's correctly identified that aircraft behind me... So here's a question: what aircraft is that and what makes it so?

    Col....MiG35, Russians have given up and they have also started cold shouldering India by excluding India from SCO, canceled naval exercise, appeasing Pakistan and favoring Chinese investment in Oil & Gas prospecting. I think F-35 pitch is at right time nor for MMRCA replacement but as a T-50 replacement.

    @broadsword

    what you're standing with is the gripen ng.

    what makes it distinguishable is that the cockpit canopy doesn't merge seamlessly into the spine at the back

    Judging from the nosewheel behind you that's a Sea Gripen. Looks catapult friendly! Hard to discern an arrestor hook at the back but I would expect to see one located there.

    True that..
    With MoD's idiotic procurement policies, a single anon letter,a newsreport pertaining to corruption in the downselect of MMRCA in an already charged atmosphere with a government reeling under enormous taint of corruption everybody stands a chance..hell even the american teens stand a chance..I stand corrected..
