Re: Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!
Just saw a video from Sirsa, Haryana. The blast seems much bigger than a drone. Could it be a missile? Link: https://x.com/himalayanboyy/status/1920933488259207510?s=46 Edit: another video: https://x.com/nikhil2006jain/status/1920926470664278341?s=46 Appear to be SAMs being launched to intercept.

Yes, the Anti-Piracy Act of 2022, under the UN Convention on Law of Seas(UNCLOS) to which india is a signatory, gives both IN and ICG the authority to engage in anti-piracy operations both within and outside indian waters.

Re: Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF): News & Discussion
Well we currently operate the 40 odd MiG29K's from the original 45 in 2 squadrons and 1 flight(INAS 303, INAS 300, A flight of INAS 551), if memory serves me right. So that would make it 18 per squadron. But only 15 from the squadron are may be embarked at any time, I guess.

Re: Airborne Early Warning & Control: News & Discussion
Actually the 321 has lower range with respect to 319 due to its higher overall weight. But given that the aircraft will primarily have a regional role for us, the range and endurance will be more than sufficient for our needs.
