Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
I think we should go with a actor rather then an actress for LCA.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Vishal, great photo. Just a quick question. In the link above you have a Rambha - serial number SB413 - from No 30 Rhinos based at Lohegaon AFS. The date of the picture is 19 Feb 2015. Another picture taken by you of the exact same aircraft (SB413), with a date stamp of 18 Feb 2015, has the caption stating that the aircraft is from No 106 Lynx squadron based at Tezpur AFS. I don't know why they don't put squadron insignias on the Rambhas. They do it for the MiG-29s and Mirage 2000s.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
At least they used to. The newest IAF MiG-29 and Mirage 2000 photos on Airliners.net have the squadron insignia removed.
The good ol' days;
No.47 Black Archers once based at Lohegaon AFS in Pune. Not sure where they are now. I think at Adampur AFS now.

She is an Assamese Lynx - except its not Rhinos Wg Cdr C U V Rao & Flt Lt Prashant Sharma flying her (their bird was SB318).
The Lynx only flew their own bird SB413 & vice-versa except on Feb 21st when both the Morning & Afternoon display was flown by SB318, morning by the Rhinos crew & afternoon by the Lynx crew.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Individual airframe assignment to a squadron is not permanent--at least not for its entire service life. They get rotated during deep overhauls and upgrades. Squadrons also share airframes in reserve pool.Rakesh wrote:... I don't know why they don't put squadron insignias on the Rambhas. They do it for the MiG-29s and Mirage 2000s.

However, with fewer aircrafts/squadrons like in the cases of MiG-29s/Mirage-2000s the airframes can be more permanently assigned since there aren't that many to rotate around. For Su-30MKI fleet as it stands today, you are dealing with over 200+ airframes and 10+ squadrons; at any given time 11-12 per cent of the fleet (22-24 units) is undergoing major repair and overhaul and another 13-14 per cent of the fleet (26-28 units) is grounded, awaiting major systems or repairs. So the airframe-to-squadron rotation would be high with 50+ airframes undergoing major repair/refit at any given time.
But it could be changes in institutional practices as well
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
A couple of decades ago, targeting was by radar & insignia did not matter. However with improved IRST & EO sights (the Spyder can be launched cued by EO), low visibility has assumed importance. Pakistanis don't even paint their roundrels in green, preferring a dull grey instead. Similarly USAF has grey star markings instead of the red, white & blue.
Planes or ships are brightly coloured only during events. Otherwise even ship pennant numbers are painted in dull colours.
Having said that, some like the white tigers and black panthers have managed low visibility insignia.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
IMHO at least a couple of aircraft per squadron should be painted with unit insignia. Unlike the Army the air force uniforms are not the best to display it. IIRC only overalls have patches, the official uniform has no indication of the unit.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
I know it is sacrilege to post anything from the Trishul Trident blog, but an interesting picture of radar installation on an IAF MiG-29. I am not a radar expert, but as per the blog it is either the Phazatron NIIR’s 385kg N-019 Rubin RPLK-29/Sapfir-29 pulse-Doppler radar or the NO19MP Topaz radar.

Seems to be a special forces unit preparing for the assault in Gurdaspur.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Para SF. Tavors and M-4s. The Patka helmets are surprising though.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
^^ See Images in SF thread. While SF was present dont think ALL pics with Tavor/M4s are SF. Could be combo of Ghatak QRF / RR units that came down from J&K.
Also, IMO Post 26/11 and all the 'Photops's of Punjab SWAT etc the first responders performed subpar. Do we need to keep calling in SF units to deal with Incidents like these? What are Local SWAT being raised for?
