Austin how many planes being used in this exercise?
Also Twitter has many nice story boards on IAF planes.
In my school days used to search in vain for such infographs.
Will start posting some here.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
I am impressed by the top notch quality of IAF videos over last few years. Truly TFTA khan style stuff.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
they should cancel this event given the circumstances.
prepare for a real punishing war not gym muscle flexing.

Rather they should demonstrate it on the border with the pig state
Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
Singha Sir , I have the contrary opinion here , Vayu Shakti is a long planned event and this is coming at a unforeseen time where both the Political Leadership and People of Bharat needs reassurance from armed forces that they are prepared , Should send a message to Friends and Enemies Abroad.Singha wrote:they should cancel this event given the circumstances.

I hope Vayu Shakti 19 is live telecast across all TV channels in India
As far as real punishment goes this will come and it will be bigger than any thing we have seen but this will need careful planning as the enemy is well planned it like 26/11 and is expecting a retaliation from India.
Remember after 26/11 all the PN was out at sea in half a day while we took around 2 days , they had planned and prepared for this based on Kargil experience where all the PN fleet was chocked at Karachi harbour
Re: Vayu Shakti 2019

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019

Aware there is great anger among all of us Indians and justifiably so but that's exactly what our adversary wants. Decisions taken in anger always blow back. My job-absorb your anger and offer sane options.I would be failing my 40 years experience dealing with this if I do not

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
Fully Agree. When most of the country is in mourning, it saddens to see the IAF doing these exercises... More irritating is the press reports that claim "IAF showing it might" and the likes...Singha wrote:they should cancel this event given the circumstances.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
to me the iaf exercise with full attendence of VVIPs and foreign military attaches will only open them to mockery - both from good people and the BIF for different reasons.
good people will say - why exercises when need of hour is to pound TSP
bad people will say - look look you are totally impotent you cannot touch a hair on beloved pak so doing these empty gestures
its a lose lose.
atleast vvips should stay away from the function.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
DD news is showing it.
I guess we can just go home. the political leadership considers all armed forces as for parades and show only, rather than letting them lose. This mentality has perhaps got to the armed forces leadership as well.
all smoke n mirrors.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
It is surreal watching it. Some of the guys on the screen could be going in to battle? Pilots and resources could be present somewhere else, more bombs than we have used on Pak since Kargil... IAF big brass all present.
Wives present as well.
It is just surreal..

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
So Far , So Good , All Targets hit ........I say this as last VS there were misses
Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
LCA hitting targets with dumb bombs. Mig-29 as well.
Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
Don't see RM or PM in the demo...
Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
thankfully no minister is to be seen. I dont think too many foreign attaches have showed up as well given that DD usually pans obligingly over the goras.
seats are a bit unfilled.
the place has the look of a wedding where one side did not show up.
maybe they could have cancelled the orchestral performances.
surreal for sure.
the R73 I dont know if it was inert. missed the sitting duck banshee drone from the rear. the Astra1 sped away to some unknown intercept point too far to see. rest of all drops on target.
2 mins of silence at the beginning would have been nice.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
I am amazed how some of you can be this pessimistic. Vayu Shakti 2019 can be converted from exercise into surgical strike. Sending special forces into Pakistan is not the only option.
Regardless of terrorism, exercises have to continue. Armed Forces have to continue to train. That is the nature of the job.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
I suppose 127 aircraft practicing for "demo", provides a good cover.
With IAF being the weapon of choice for our response, IAF Chief will getting his opportunity to settle the score for the loss of his comrade in Kargil.
20 years latter, IAF chief may get to roll the dice against PAF.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
I am even more amazed that folks [Not you saar] think the whole IAF will get into a huddle to plan the strike out and therefore what are they doing going about their routine business.Rakesh wrote:I am amazed how some of you can be this pessimistic.

If one follows the "surgical strike" template ONLY a few folks on "need to know" basis get in on the planning while the rest go on with their usual routine including parading, demoing, practicing, flying soties, manning radars, repairing equipment, cooking, cleaning, etc.

Tejas dropping LGB in Vayushakti-2019.
https://twitter.com/DDNewsLive/status/1 ... 7990647808
Austin, thanks for the infographics, very nicely done, barring a typo or two. also note, max speed for Tejas is not mentioned, since this is a desi bird they can and will keep that a secret.
=======================
why on earth should we cancel VS 2019, which is a highlight of the year for the participants. TSP doesn't get to do that to us. What we will do to them is completely separate issue but we do not give them the satisfaction of having disrupted us.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
Is Vayushakti akin to our version of red flag involving complex exercises using red and blue team concepts ? Or is it just a demonstration for visiting dignitaries.

Re: Vayu Shakti 2019
interesting to note that both ranges of LCA and Mig 29 not given (the upg range is mystery). That keeps the tactical surprise.

Vayushakti2019 : Griffin Laser Guided Bomb (LGB) is a laser-guided bomb system. It is an add-on kit which is used to retrofit gravity bombs, making them into laser-guided smart ammunition.
