India is offered to buy American F-15EX and use them with Su-30MKI fighters near the Chinese border

42

India continues to think about which fighters to choose when refitting its fleet. At the moment, 5 Rafale fighters have been purchased from France, deliveries of another 31 Rafale are expected. In addition, the situation with the order of 114 fighters has not been resolved. Among the options under consideration at the moment are the American F-18, the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen, the same French Rafale, as well as the Russian Su-35 and MiG-35.

All interested parties are trying to push India to the "correct" decision, but in New Delhi they took a pause that lasted for years.



TEAT (The EurAsian Times) published an article in which India is invited to supplement the list of fighter "candidates" with another American-made aircraft. This all-weather F-15EX fighter is the latest modification of the F-15 Eagle. The article says that India "in vain refuses to consider the option of purchasing the F-15EX", because "these aircraft are comparable in some characteristics to the fifth generation fighters F-22 and F-35."

From the material:

The Indian Air Force has already deployed Russian Su-30MKI fighters near China's borders. And if India buys the F-15EX, then American fighters will be able to join the Russian in the combat Indian aviation for more efficient operations in high mountain areas - near the border.

The author further writes that the F-15EX does not have stealth technology, unlike the F-22 and F-35, but at the same time "they can help ensure air superiority."
From the article:

While the F-35 is a tactical aircraft, the F-15EX is a weapon system for air domination and can perform many functions, including striking across borders, engaging in close combat with enemy fighters, and destroying enemy ships. In this case, the aircraft can be at a safe distance from weapons.

      Why does India need fighters at all? A country that has never fought, does not have its own production of any really normal weapon of at least an average level, it still stretches and wants to have cheap, but the latest models !!! Well, just like small children, well, they would have frolicked in their human beings and would have raised medicine from the cave, at least to the medieval level, but no - give them fighters! Won the second place in the coronavirus came out, who will fly on these planes that have not yet been purchased ???

        Indian pharmacology is one of the leading places in the world. To understand this, it is enough to go to any Russian pharmacy.

          Give examples of her victories, please! If the war is lost, then this is not the ability to fight, but is called full blown. The useless waste of shells on both sides that did not lead to any result in the conflict with Pakistan is also not a martial art. So, I expect from you examples of the military "might" of India.

            Interestingly, where did I talk about the "military power" and "victories" of India? You wrote that India "never fought," I replied that this is not at all the case. You don't need to change it.

            Well, by and large, please do not forget that India is a nuclear power, for a second ...

          You probably read this where it says "made in India"? Only this, just like it was done in China, has nothing to do with Indian or Chinese brains, it has nothing at all. The entire pharmacology of India is foreign corporations, mainly British and Dutch, but also American, registered in cheap places in terms of taxes and labor. These drugs were not invented by the Indians, but the Indians lift the boxes with the medicines packed by robots and load them into containers, that is the whole Indian contribution to Indian native medicine.

          Right. There is no point. But as an LPI, even at the beginning of the 2000s, it was advisable to buy out equipment and a license from the French for the production of Mirages-XNUMX. And call him Tejas wassat drinks

                      an undoubted advantage would be the line of aircraft in the series equipped with one type of engine.
                      And by the way, the Chinese experience shows the possibility of creating a new light fighter based on the MiG-21.
                      What is typical could have bought it from Israel and avionics. And take the motor RD-33/93.
                      But of course, it would be optimal to purchase a license for the Al-31 and create a production from scratch, and jointly with the Franks, the development of an LFI for Al-31 based on the Mirage.

      "Eagle" is good for its avionics and missiles / bombs that can be hung on it.
      If you stuff a new avionics of the same level into their Sushki and buy good missiles, how will they be worse?
      Yes, nothing.
      Moreover, the Indians are not under sanctions, you can buy anything from anyone, even from Israel, even from the Europeans. Unless, it still needs to be done. And the Eagle is already done.

      And yes, it seems like the Indians are looking for a light fighter, and this is definitely not about the F15.
