We should re-evaluate the loss of Vampires at Chamb. Yes four planes were lost but they saved Akhnur by delaying the assault by a day. The Vampires were sent without fighter escort in three waves of four planes each. First wave lost one Vampire to ground fire. Second had two Vampires shot down by F-...

If you read carefully what Pak Army did was locate all the arty positions of IA and gave full blast with all the weapons they had. ANd most damage was from counter-battery fire. The folks who demanded arty fire into the trees to shake them up did a disservice as Indian positions were located. "...

One lesson from Russian conversion.of dumb bombs.

India should look at similar solution for the large number of 1000 lb bombs with IAF.

DRDO has the GPS chips and MING that can be used.
Besides 1000 lb are inexpensive to make.

Am surprised SS. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
