It’s been a few days since I talked about my goddess Palki Sharma, and many viewers miss her. But I want to say, you should always trust my love for Palki, and never doubt her ability to create topics and laughs. Here she goes again, mocking Pakistan’s Zardari visiting China’s aircraft manufacturer AVIC, the company that co-developed Pakistan’s JF17 fighter and produces the J10. Zardari also learned about the J20. Palki mentioned that China has always been willing to share military technology with Pakistan and brought up China’s equipment and intelligence support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
But obviously, she didn’t have the guts to admit that India lost seven fighters. The world’s famous loudmouth Trump has repeatedly broadcast this news, making India extremely embarrassed.In her video, she also introduced the Indian Air Force’s latest moves, delivering two Tejas MK1A fighters. Honestly, this industrial trash, developed since the 1980s, still can’t be mass-produced, and handing it over to the air force is practically murdering pilots.
This stitched-together monster, with all its core components imported, is still being pushed by Indians for a naval version. Soon, we might see Tejas and Vikrant, two of the biggest pieces of garbage in human military history, collide with sparks. Yes, this isn’t a metaphor; I mean actual physical collisions and real sparks.
Of course, another major move by the Bharat empire cannot be ignored: purchasing 114 more Rafale fighters at a whopping $1.93 billion each. The first 18 will be produced and delivered by France, flown to India, while the rest will be assembled locally, with France transferring related fighter production technology. Some may wonder why India insists on buying Rafales at such a high price, especially when 3 to 4 were shot down in air combat, which was utterly humiliating.In fact, Indians have no choice.
With India’s current relationship with the US, buying F35s is a pipe dream. The US slapped India with a 50% tariff, and Trump is still waiting for Modi to kiss his ass. India has openly fallen out with the US, and the two countries will go through a series of tugs-of-war before any real compromise. In the end, Modi will likely give in. But the Indian Air Force can’t wait. Their Su30, MiG29, and Tejas fighters are worse and can’t compete with Pakistan. Russia is bogged down in the Russia-Ukraine war, and the US is pressuring India to cut ties with Russia. In this situation, Rafale fighters are the only option.If India doesn’t finalize the deal now and start expanding its military immediately, it will be crushed once Pakistan’s J35 arrives.
The Rafale’s poor performance last time, aside from gaps in radar and missiles, was mainly due to the Indian Air Force’s lousy skills, failing to utilize the fighter’s capabilities. This can be improved through training. Even if Pakistan’s J35 arrives, India’s air force can maintain balance with numerical superiority, keeping Pakistan from acting rashly.
You might ask, if quality can’t compete, why not mass-produce Tejas fighters to draw fire? The answer is simple: India lacks enough engines. The US won’t sell to India because it’s short on supply itself. Due to China’s rare earth sanctions, the US military industry hasn’t been able to produce at full capacity for a long time. Forget supplying India; the US doesn’t even have enough engines for its own F35s.
In plain terms, India can’t even produce enough decoy fighters. Even if they don’t care about pilots, they can’t scrape together enough parts for decoys.So, the French aren’t stupid. This deal lets them recover some of the previous payment, then sell another batch of fighters to India at a price far exceeding the F35. Once part of the money is paid, they can hold India hostage through remote control, locking the fighters or disabling fire control systems during a war if payments stop.
Besides, India insists on domestic production and technology transfer, so not charging a high price would betray France’s military R&D investment.But why does India insist on domestic production? The reason is simple: local production can buy time and delay progress. You don’t know how many engines and parts are stockpiled in factories, so it’s impossible to verify how many Rafale fighters India actually lost in air combat. The numbers can be made up with newly assembled fighters. Thus, this procurement has several non-negotiable elements: it must be Rafale fighters, the quantity must be large enough, it must go through a fast track, and it must ensure local production and assembly.
All this must be completed before the next election, or Modi’s lies will be exposed. This is the real driving force behind India’s massive Rafale purchase.As for whether buying Rafales is useless and India will keep getting humiliated, that doesn’t matter. Indians have a seven-day memory; they don’t remember past humiliations.
Bollywood can churn out movies proclaiming their victories, and the great revival of the Bharat empire will dominate headlines again. This time, seven fighters were shot down, and the nation celebrated for ten days. Next time, if 70 are shot down, a year-long celebration will do. If you bring up shame, I’ll tell you, that word isn’t in India’s dictionary.
