Yes, on a closer look, that does look like the R.550 Magic-2 - I stand corrected. Thank you.

What a B-E-A-Utiful bird! Some observations/questions: 1. On the 3002, after the trailing edge of the wing, on the fuselage, you can see a pipe outlet. Fuel dump system perhaps? 2. Below that pipe, you can see a red counter measure dispensing system. 3. The 3001 does not seem to have the sensors at ...

JS 221 has these protrusions that (maybe/maybe not) MAWS on the starboard inlet and under each exhaust.

I believe it is the Griffin Laser Guided Bomb.

Congratulations 21 Para SF! Congratulations to the Indian Army! Congratulations to NaMo for authorizing swift, decisive action!

I think the Jaguars came with swiveling IFR probes originally but were removed to save weight as we didn't have airborne tankers. I think they were refitted once we acquired tankers.

Any word on delivery of the IFR probe and quartz radome from Cobham? It was supposed to be November first and then got pushed to March, I believe.

shiv saar, Such installations can be taken down quickly with something like Brahmos no? High accuracy destruction of key targets in rapid succession, fits in with cold start too. Most of Bakistan's air assets are not that "deep" for a Brahmos to run out of range. Usual disclaimer (noobie ...

Congratulations to DRDO and every one who worked on this missile. Congratulations to all of India! Bharatmata ki Jai! Looking forward to more pictures and hopefully, the in-flight video from the Jaguar chase plane. So happy that I felt I had to post my first post on BR after being a lurker for a dec...
