Hello All, My experience at the Farnborough Air Show with the Pakistani Pilots was excellent. They were friendly, polite and bore no animosity to the large crowd of Indians that came to their enclosure (albeit in the open) and asked questions. The plane itself looked very aerodynamic. It was very si...

Ok, not sure if you guys have seen the latest Jane's Weekly. It's being reported that the problem with Bhramos was caused by a blip in the GPS guidance system where the missile lost contact with the GPS satellites resulting in the missile missing the targets. Apparantly, its being reported that the ...

CISF at the venue were seen carrying Ak47's & butt-folding version of INSAS A CISF person carrying Ak47 said he likes the Ak47 better bcoz it was continous burst and longer range. I was under the impression that insas was available in full auto :-? Also, the range of INSAS is surely greater tha...

Nope, sorry that one ain't working. Any other suggestions?

I am pretty sure that's an IAF one. Look at the subsequent footage and the uniform of the personnel. Plus, I am not trying to be rude about anyone, so let's save the jingoism for later.

MukulMohanty

Sorry about this, but someone has posted an excellent home video of two MiG-21's taking off an IAF base with the first one developing engine failure almost immediately and the two pilots ejecting while the plane pretty much crashes next to the cameraman... Its available on liveleak.com I am at work ...

MukulMohanty

Right, I have a concern. I don't see him mention a name and I think we are rumour mongering by taking names.

Anyone with data link access can go right in .. not easy but quite possible Internet based datalink paints the additional picture on the HUD, what does our datalink do, does it update the HUD, if so, what is the time lag/Info lag. I mean 3 seconds in such warfare could mean everything. So what is t...

My question to this video is:

Can they get away making such comments about how we need to be in Alaska and not Nellis? Is this guy going to pay for it?

MukulMohanty

Why are we repeating ourselves with this link?

I hv sent links like I said to people who probably should have a comment about the lecture but haven't heard anything.

MukulMohanty

There is so a Mig-17....

It seems you haven't read about the Vietnam War.

MukulMohanty

A very condascending video.

Sent it to people within the AF to see what they think of this.

MukulMohanty

The speed with which this video was removed from youtube suggests that this person is in trouble. A lot of trouble.

IIRC, these weapons systems being tested will be eventually installed in the LCH. So my guess is, its being kept thin for that purpose (read low weight). JMT A M621 low-recoil cannon and is combined with a helmet-mounted sight which is excellent for ground troop support. Let it be known that these ...

Could someone put this on rapidshare? My comments are based on the transcripts.

Second attempt. I can bet my last dollar that someone is going to lose their job over this. Largely for the following reasons 1) qualitative comments on other AF's by participants which is largely supposed to be a training exercise. Reflects very poorly on the proffessionalism of the host AF. 2) Acc...

Most incoherent and unintelligible article ever written.

Inaccurate and incorrect.

MukulMohanty

Sorry this is blocked from my office server. Would it be all right to download into youtube? I think Vishnu would need copyright clearances.

If not, tis fine, I will try to do it over another computer/server.

Thanks,

To be brutally fair, they need the helos for the 'war on terror'. At least its better justifiable than F-16's. 8 AF-1's wont change the existing situation. Pakistan is terribly short on helicopters and they need them.

Its a small price we have to pay.

Hmmm nice story . haha tell me this if ur using blank rounds why do u need speakers to make sound ? Do u know what blanks are ?[/quote] We didn't fire blanks my friend. But everything else in that was real, the blowback the sound came from the speaker built into what you would normally call the maga...

Mukul is right the System is very limited today. 10-15 years ago it was a great training aid but not so much today. I have heard that the Indian Army is also planning to switch over to Wax Bullet training over the laser tag system. Actually the laser tag system has become very popular with the Euro...

MukulMohanty

Nope the sensors aren't all over. I have played this game- the sensors are in your flakjacket, your helmet and your weapon. They are no sensors (all of them are wire connected) in your lower torso or legs. As a result, it doesn't recognise leg wounds. The other problem is that the whole sensor thing...

MukulMohanty

The funny problem with these are that they do not record head shots. So you effectively have to aim for the helmet to record a shot. The good part is that the laser is so thin that you need to have an absolute clear shot to kill, if there is a leaf between you and your kill, it will not record the s...

But we don't have an SA-80! I went tank driving one day and met a lot of ex-marines who couldn't stop complaining what an aweful weapon it was! So if you think we complained about the INSAS!

Hi Rahul. I am quite confused about rumours of another Su sqn being raised. I mean with a total of 140+ aircraft on order,Sqns WILL have to be raised to fit these birds in. What the CinC said was that if they can get aircraft delivered on time,in the numbers they want,they can raise a sqn even in D...

If you think our armed forces are so daft so as to put $30m aircrafts at stones throw - think again. Most a/c's in India are usually under hardened shelter + they are usually covered especially to keep the avionics from simply melting down in the heat in India. Especially the sensors. These aircraft...

Like always, we seem never to agree on the number of Sukhoi's!

MukulMohanty

We are 400 active pilot's short but then being an AF pilot isn't that bad as it gives you choices later in life such as civvie flying. I think its going to be a two seater as the MKI has proved it makes better sense to have a dedicated WSO at the back seat. MKI has taught us a lot of new things abou...

Nope, it's a common misconception that wheeled APC is better than those with Tracks. Tracks are easier to fix on the field. They are more flexible over terrain. Plus, no one can blow your tyres out.

MukulMohanty

Derailing thread. One question I had was is the implication of installing a third party pod on your wings that basically monitors your every move and your reactions on engagement. Doesn't that give a lot away itself. I am pretty sure that InAF would have thought through the exposure of intel equipme...

MukulMohanty

Actually did. Spoke with a Pakistani lad over here. Said morale is very low as they are upset at fighting their own.

He might look good with what he has but the question here is how many training exercises have these people gone through...

Compared to us, we do one big one bi-annually.
