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.
Donald Trump has threatened to "take a pass" on attempts to secure a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia, as he denied the Kremlin was playing him. Sky News
After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set.
