  • We don't often check out foreign Air Force videos, but it's pretty cool to see the foreign equipment used as well as the proprietary stuff made to fill their niche roles

    Since Pakistan was heavily leaned on/funded by the USA during the cold war to prevent Soviet expansion in the Indian Ocean , India took it as an insult that THEY were not the preferred partner instead of their deathly enemy. So they played a balancing act between NATO and the Warsaw Pact to gain technology and funding from both. That's why they have such a massive variety of equipment. Britain sold them some navy ships including aircraft carriers.

    We have our own space force but it’s kept behind the veil for whatever reason might be. We are the fourth country who has anti-sat weapons so this already hints others about the country’s ability in space. We generally don’t flaunt our space related ability in military domain and also we don’t flaunt our cyber warfare to others.

    Hi. I believe India was a charter member of unaligned nations. So India would follow what path made sense and not follow west nor east. It does make it enigmatic to many of us.

    The air tanker looks like the Airbus A330 MRTT. I didn't see India on the list of operators, so maybe it is one operated by a friendly country.

    Those commandos were Garud commandos (Commando unit that protects the air bases of India in its territory and abroad).

    The main fighter type is Sukhoi Su-30MKI. The future fighter: Rafale. The domestic option: HAL Tejas. There are and has been others types too, like MiG-21 and Mirage 2000, but I think those three are the most important ones.

    After independence in 15th August 1947 Indian Airforce used British Knats , Canberras etc. and French Urugans etc. fighter aircrafts and some British and USA transport aircrafts . Then from 1960 or 1965 onwards India started using French Jaguar and later Mirage 2000 and Soviet Union Mig-21,23,27&29 + Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter aircrafts and Soviet transport aircrafts like IL-76 (Illushin 76) . Recently (say 15 to 18 yrs back) India started using USA aircrafts like C-17 globemaster III , C-130J transport aircrafts & Chinook and Apache AH-64E helicopters for Indian Airforce . Indian Navy is using P8-I Neptune (Indian version of P8-A Poseidon of US Navy) and MH-60R for Indian navy . Indian Navy is also using 2 Sea Guardian drones leased from US Navy for 2 yrs . Indian army is using M-777 artillery guns . These are some weapons India is using which are from USA . For few years USA was interested in selling F-16 block-70/72 and F-15E strike eagle (latest version) to India but India was or is not interested because USA binds clause to its sales and India doesn't like these US clauses . So India purchased 36 Rafale F3R from France . Probabl India is going to buy more French Rafales in the near future . Indian Airforce will also be using Airbus C-295 transport aircrafts in the near future . Contract has been signed for probably 64 C-295 aircrafts . We (India) always wanted to buy US military hardware in the past but USA never trusted us and instead trusted a terrorist country like Pakistan . Slowly the situation is changing . We want to buy or collaborate or co-produce in some cutting edge technologies like drones , nuclear submarines (especially SSN) , Nuclear Aircraft Carriers , Fighter Aircraft Engines , Marine Engines , etc. India has made lots of military hardware indigenously like artillery guns , mbt (main battle tanks) , mbrls (multi barrel rocket launchers) , light transport helicopters like LUH (Light Utility Helicopter - single engine) and ALUH (Advance Light Utility Helicopter called Dhruv - twin engine) , LCH (Light Combat Helicoter named Prachand - twin engine attack helicopter like Urocopter Tiger) , lots of missiles , corvettes , frigates , destroyers , one conventional aircraft carrier (stobar) , etc. India has made indigineously single engine light fighter aircraft (LCA) named Tejas but it's engine is GE-404 . India is planning to make a medium fighter aircraft named Tejas-2 with GE-414 engine . Recently I heard USA is going to transfer technology (TOT) for making GE-414 engine in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) . India is also wanting to make high thrust engine (say , 115 or 120 kN thrust) for its twin engine AMCA (advanced medium combat aircraft) project . India wants USA at its side but USA wants to dictate terms . Then US will loose India as its ally . India never back stabs or leaves its friends and allies in times of crisis , which US does .
