India needs to weigh pros & cons of F-35 pitch

From Rafale to F-35: How is Trump’s Stealth Fighter Offer a Game-Changer for India’s Air Power?

From Rafale to F-35: In a landmark defense proposal, former U.S. President Donald Trump has offered India the cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet, potentially transforming the country’s air combat capabilities. The F-35, hailed as the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighter, boasts unparalleled stealth, superior electronic warfare systems, and unmatched situational awareness. If India accepts the deal, it would mark a significant shift in its defense strategy, moving beyond the Rafale jets toward a future dominated by American military technology. However, the decision comes with major geopolitical and economic considerations, including India’s long-standing defense ties with Russia, the high costs of acquisition and maintenance, and the need for advanced infrastructure to operate these jets effectively. #F35Deal #F35India #StealthFighters #IndiaUSDefense #ModiTrump #TrumpModiMeeting #USIndiaPartnership #FighterJetDeal #DefenseStrategy #AirSuperiority #F35LightningII #MilitaryPower #Geopolitics #AerospaceTechnology #GlobalDefense ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.152~GR.344~
