I am not in favour of a modified Kiran to act as a mini A-10. It's a deadend. I will also not speak on the efficacy of attack helicopters. Frankly, I don't know well enough. But, both India and China are bulking up on that front. Deejay and Hari Nair are much better placed to throw light on that. I...

The Mi-24/35 Squadrons of IAF are/were based in Pathankot and Suratgarh. Both understandable locations - Pathankot was action in the sensitive Gurdaspur - Pathankot - Sambha - Jammu - Akhnoor belt. Here, the Akbar's would face-off against the Pakistan Army Mangla based 1 Corps or Army Reserve North...

I know perhaps not right time to bring it up, but why do we even have a key military facility in the middle of megapolis?

IAF does not release funds. MoD does. IAF has moved the file. Ask MoD to release funds. Surprised, HAL has not pitched to MoD or has it?

Sir, from what I know, the HS 748, the cg is too far forward to encourage rare ramp ops. From memory, cabin tube seemed narrower than "anna battis" and is considerably slower. My flight from Guwahati to Kolkata on an AVRO (long back) was 03 hrs plus. Anna battis (AN 32) has a great short ...

why cannot anti-heli ops be done by fighters which have far superior radar , a LDP and lookdown modes. apaches with stinger and rudra / lch with mistals will have no guidance radar and just need to orient the seeker and fire LOBL right? these i would suggest are more defensive shots than offensive ...

Yes.AVROs without rear ramps will be more difficult to handle large cargo than our AN-32s and other aircraft with rear ramps capable of carrying light vehicles.AVROs wod be best as troop transports, para- dropping,, etc. Low set tail plane makes it very risky for paradropping.

Ok. Saw, the video. I think it can do the loop given that it sustains flight on the back at the top of the loop without stalling. Also, check from 07:00 to 07:30 in the video - there probably is a complete loop there. That said, I felt, it was not showing off low speed handling, high "g" m...

It depends on the department asking for the rescue. They are billed. IAF only pays if pilots have taken their own decision to respond to a distress call.

It does kind of come into the ambit of IAF news and discussions. Such rampant disrespect of those in uniform citing "political pressure and power" is detrimental to national security. Especially after events like Pathankot. I hope GOI of the day lays down stringent rules and regulations a...
