- Lockheed Martin, the biggest player in the global defence and aerospace sector, has a long association with India. All three services of the Indian Armed Forces use equipment produced, and often maintained, by Lockheed Martin. At Aero India 2023, Lockheed Martin will be displaying some of its state-of-the-art equipment. The focus will of course be on the F 21 fighter aircraft that is competing with quite a few other aircrafts of various countries for the 114 Indian Multi Role Combat Aircraft contract. In the interview, Mr William Blair, Head Indian Operations, Lockheed Martin, provides a rundown on major platforms in use with the Indian services. He also elaborates on the role played by the company in supporting MSMEs and its joint ventures with Indian groups. The commitment of the company to support the Indian Atmanirbharta policy is also illustrated.

F21 hume kharidna chahiye American jet fighter dunia me sabse jyda use kiye jaate hai .. inki technology Shandaar hai .... F21 ek Shandaar jet fighter milega Indian airforce ko
Even if porki were not using F16s there was and is no change for F16 (or F21) to win MMRCA.
F 21 would be best in the long run but with rafale infrastructure already in place it will be interesting to watch .
India should only buy Heavy or double engine fighters from outside.
All light and single engine fighter jets should be bulk produced in India.
We should buy at-least 2 -3 squadrons of F21, and Lockheed should manufacture them in Hyderabad. Though the F16 is 30+ years old the fighter with new radar, sensors, avionics and weapons systems are new. The only thing old is the frame and the design. F21 is more capable than F35 and costs less to maintain. I worked with HAL & others for few years and its very difficult to make them work as there are unions, half of the employees take it easy, management is pathetic, good engineers after some years of work experience will go and join commercial companies, salaries are pathetic (so the people working). Only hope is if some new young engineers & new managers join HAL in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Lucknow then run it as a private company and make the employees accountable then we will rollout Tejas, MK2 & AMCA. The big problem in public sector is every religion has its union and they cry and you cannot make them work. Only 52% of the public sector workers work others just take salary and go away.....
What the hell !!!
"F21 is more capable than F35" hahaha
Here we are developing AMCA, inducting Rafales for modernisation of IAF and why would we buy this old renamed F16?
I think if we buy this, Pak will be able to defeat us because they fully know the potential of these F16s
Selling old fighters with a new name and denying F35, good game by USA
Better go with Checkmate of Russia
F21 doesn't have chance so lobbies must accept this fact
We can laugh buddy. They are trying their best with hit job articles and chandigarh lobby but they going to fell Miserabely. F18 also out.
@@debdeepmukherjee1373 idk dude why are they trying to hard to chunk us the f21 we clearly are not intresred in it best will be a f35 that can be modded with Indian weapon systems
@@orion2065 Because our Singel engine fighter jet are now in almost maturity stage this system are tailor made for Indian condition. Maximum indigenous LRU and weapons also now getting matured except engine. Electronics, targeting pods, jammer, IRST, Rader, MAWS, RWR everything going to be indigenous and this system are getting maturity level. Tejash mk2 is low hanging fruit for us. We have to be little fast for Induction of this bird. At that mean time astra Mk2, mk3 will be in serial production.Tejas also Compitabl with Components of our own Man and Unmand teaming system and will work as mother ship. America not going to give us permission for F35 with India specific enhancement. They did not even not redy share source code with us for indigenous weapons integration on their platforms. They are very expensive to maintain too. American platforms always come with ''string attached'. So...
@@debdeepmukherjee1373 yes ur exactly right on that American part but if they want to enter Indian fighter jet market I think that’s the only option for them but on the other hand we can’t be saying tejas almost ready every time it’s been 2 years since we’ve said that and Chinese aggressors are upgrading their jets as test passes so india have to act quickly
@@orion2065 AIR FORCE sat on Tejas deal for 2 year on price negotiations. If make in India happen for MRFA 2.0 then IAF going to get 1 st fighter atleast 5/6 years after deal signing happened. From next year Mk1A going to delivered to IAF. For navy Rafle going to come so chance of F18 is over. Iaf going to upgrade it's mki with 4-5 bn dollars. IAF can not afford 126 foreign fighter at this moment. 3 squadron Rafle for IAF with F4 standard seems like going to happen. Cost of Foreign jet under make in India going to cost more. If IAF is serious about Tejas why they didn't gave more order in quick time frame? They always love foreign mal. Manohar parikar sir literally pull out Tejas from this mess. Any fighter from America not going to happen at least chances are negligible.
Please bring AC-130 gunship to India.
No chance for F21.. Thank you. In fact no fighter jet from uncle sam's country should be Part of IAF or IN. Thanku.
Lol 😂. Thank goodness IAF or our defence planners aren’t so narrow minded. If you hate Uncle Sam so much why purchase their engines for Tejas? Throw them out.. Oh you are only selective about certain equipment like fighter jets? 😅
@@srikanth85in As an Indian I sincerely thank IAF and our planer for nat having any American fighter jets in our inventory. American jets always come up with lots of string attached. They never ever gave any source code and Indigenous weapons integration options. Indigenous weapons are being develop in mind of Indian conditions and need. Our govt. recently released money for Tejash mk2 development and it's our low risk highly needed project. Maximum LRU with this fighter now in maturity levels. Further refined version of of those LRUs are in complete their development cycle. We are now achieve our proficiency on composite material development. Recently we get success on RAM coating. Our weapons and sensors are superior as compair with imported once, because all imported weapons and sensors are downgraded version from their actual capabilities. Yes we have problem with engine. Past try of our kaveri engine didn't achive it's operational requirements for Tejash but we achieve many engineering and critical operational parameters with it. Knowledge we gain through this help us to improve Russian origin engine. We get good result on engine blade. Dry version of our engine going to power our stealth drone ghatak. Marine version of this engine is under trails.Now why we failed in this engine development: Govt. Didn't gave enough funds, our metallurgy is not that much advance enough for aero engine grade components, we don't have testing facility etc. But through this we gained many knowledge and now we can absorbe new technology on aero engine. In future govt and private entity going to collaborate with RR or Safron for 110kn full jet engine with 100%IP rights. In future this engine going to replace all western foreign origin engine's in our indigenous fighter. Now come to GEs engine deal. This is not new engine at all. 1 st this deal came in light way back in 2009/2012. GE have MRO in India run by HAL. HAL now Master in overhaul of western engine. Sir but our force have it's own contingency plan regarding western aero engine. GE gave us very good deal and they also not going to loose a big market like India too😂😂.we work hard on helicopter engine and now we can produce it by our own. Almost 800/900 are in service.
@@srikanth85in we don't hate uncle Sam but we don't trust America. We are independent country and we are governed by our own rules principles and Independent foreign policy. America don't respect others view.
@@debdeepmukherjee1373 Then why did our defense folks buy from such “untrustworthy” Americans? Please dude. Cold War ended in 1980s
@@srikanth85in forget sanction imposed on us after pokhran...? Tejas gets impacted and get delayed due to this. Our missile program got hampered due to this. Tejas mission computer going through a test in the USA on F16 and pokhran happened. They forced our engineers to leave USA asap. They didn't even return us. This is a blessing for us. We develop many critical technologies for Tejas and for our missile program at fraction of the cost. Seems you are a great admirer of American defense technology but sometime you should think about how our scientists' and engineer work on a limited budget on cutting edged technology. Many western and Russian products don't even meet our forces PSQR but our own people worked hard to achieve those in India. America denied us using GPS on Kargil. They didn't even give many complex electronics with our P8I. If you are not from Chandigarh lobby go and self-introspect yourself. I being not even a STEM graduate and very recently into this domain know this fact than you should. I'm a very nascent defance news follower sir but all of my arguments are true. We are Bakstabbed many times. We paid $ 49 million dollar on the Upgradation of Mirages. We don't want we spent too much money on Upgradation on Foreign platforms in the future. Why USA lift sanctions on us because India is a very large market and emerging regional and global power. In the upcoming years, maximum of our defance platforms going to be indigenous from small arms, howitzers, land-based platforms, missiles, ships, helicopters, drones, aircraft, ships, nuclear power submarines even propulsion systems, avionics, and radar. This govt. doing exceptional work in that direction. But they should work more. We are really grateful to Manohar parikar sir for his effort for the reincarnation Tejas program. Separate AMCA program. These moral boosters help ADA, DRDO,HAL for pitching Tejash mk2 program. Thanks and regards.
Very expensive
India is not going to buy the F-16 or F-21
Don’t waste time on that sale
No no no. India should not buy F21 from US. We should focus on Rafale, Griffen, Russian or AMCA project by HAL.
Buying F21, it will be emd of HAL - ever India develops its own fighters like Chona. We have the talent, the manpower & motivation to build our Aircrafts.
F21 is cost effective with good avionics. But F35 is only going to be acceptable from the American stable.
No chance for F21. Tejas mk2 is our future for single engine fighter.
@Debdeep Mukherjee future when? 3 decades from now?
India is neither mass producing Tejas nor buying from foreign countries.
IAF is a disaster.
@@MK-br3gl In earlier time koi socha bhi nahi tha ki India banyega fighter 4+gen with Indian subsystem and weapons and electronic packages. Our industry and psu now getting orders. I think hum hi sirf country ha jaha 16FOC+16IOC ka order deya jata ha. How much money we actually spend on this program? What kind of indigenous subsystem, LRU weapons even engine production ecosystem get created due to tejas. Aur fighter jet halwa ha kya. 30 min ma ho jyega. It need time. Psqr change ho jata, threat perception change ho jata and IAF demand karta ADA and DRDo sa for new capabilities . If we gave order for foreign fighter then it take atleast 3/4 years for 1 st plane ka delivery. Fighter jet ka life span atleast 30+ year hota ha. Did you know how much we spend on mirage upgrade 49 million without AESA rader. USA ka fighter ma indigenous subsystem, weapons package integration ka permission denge kya wo log. You don't know many things. Tejas mk1A ka delivery 2024 march sa chalu hoga. Mk2 ka delivery 2027-28 sa chalu hoga. 2027-28 tak CATS ka all component integration khatam ho jyega. Lastly Govt already banded import of single engine fighter jet from foreign country.
@@MK-br3gl without knowing things it's very easy to comment like "3 decades".Educate yourself with valid and legitimate knowledge ,If you have any kind of interst on Indigenous weapons and system development.
@Debdeep Mukherjee kid, we'll get old but they won't give a give huge order of TejasMk1a.
So called Tejas mk2 is only on paper now.
F21 🤣🤣🤣🤣 or rebranded old F16 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
full on propaganda
What a joke
no requirement of f21
