Guys, whoever is reading this and whoever can get this to top management.

Jay, please if this news is genuine, please do not go around spreading FUD. This is no time for politics. People are actually making life/death decision based on that. If the news is true, reporting it as fake, mostly because of political belief is insane. It mostly started when Trump claimed this a...

IF I may take a shot at it. LCA -IOC, LCA -FOC and LCAMK1 (123 planes in total) uses F404 and not f414. MWF will use F414, but a definite design of intake is not in public domain to make a comment that it is adequate or not. No Tejas as of now (or in future) will use F414, MWF will repeat No Tejas a...

the effort put by 11 BRD for MIG 29 UPG has lot more value addition than what Kamra does for JF-17

this could be the best use of downtime at HAL - build NLCA - risk mitigation vis a vis Mig 29 (I believe at least in AA role, NLCA has adequate range and time on station with enough aa missile). A mixture, where NLCA provides AA coverage (and if A to S or A to G if feasible) while M29 goes out for A...

Thanks, with the lockdown, one more book to read.

I think it will have significant impact on their fighting ability in the Himalayas. They need to be tech advanced (and hence low numbers) to face US off it east cost. US is not coming in millions but in a very lean and mean manner. They have no choice to go lean and mean. In the Himalayas, can you h...

excellent news!! (when there is doom and gloom around because of Wuhan Virus). To my untrained eyes, I see many changes, hope to post them (ask about them) in coming days.

Indrad, does that mean people taking lisinopril drop taking it?

If you really be bookish about it, there is not match up between Mig 21 and F-22 to declare one is better than other (and no explanation is enough if I can keep questioning...there is no end to this debate). The Turkish F-16 and M2K of Greece keeps tangling with claims and counterclaims. IAF and PAF...

The whole argument is sap-518 perhaps jams all frequency in certain frequency spread. In that there is no communication, not even for r-27. Unless sap-518 shuts for some time to let the signal go through, making itself vulnerable to opposition missiles.
The IR version of r-27 will work fine

I am very glad to read this. To the mod who had deleted one of my post - I had done the search, but not within BR, just www and this info did not show up. The only thing showed up was SAP-x18 bad/good etc., India getting it and then not getting it. Speculation Alert -I wonder why R-77 is not part of...

I would say that Navy can mature LCA and twin-seater TEDBF (ORCA for IAF) way faster than IAF can. For that reason, lets support them. Having TEDBF and it's technology flowing into ORCA, we can stave off importing twin-seater 4.5 gen - 5th gen plane 10 years down the line (if we ever buy something b...

For some reason IAF is silent and people on this board who interacted with WCo Abhi on this board are silent. FWIW this action made us aware of PAF full spectrum EW capabilities and that itself is worth its weight in gold. That’s a very interesting observation. But is it true, do we know that we ha...

IAF IMVHO had a bvr edge even during the post balakot episode, just didn't use it because of roe. And once the tspaf till their shots, iaf had no choice but to defend. They could have easily counter attacked and wiped the floor with the solahs but this would mean escalating the situation considerab...

It better, the financial year closes March 31. I have a noble suggestion, if we can have few more March 31 in the year, HAL will deliver more aircraft. They are mighty afraid of that date, they may not produce anything whole year, but seeing this date, just before a month, they will produce a year w...

Thanks, I was wondering what forum was I at? One post looked like it was BR, the next it would look like deaf and dumb.

fanne

personally I am ok with delay from HAL side if that is technical in nature (as in due to new parts, tech, processes etc.). The delay is not good if because of management reason, lack of oversight, thorough planning, budget, inter department frictions etc. What is sad in all this is, HAL has not gain...

The moot point then and even now is, "whether iaf has the political go ahead for such action"? If the answer is no, then we have learnt nothing from this engagement with advesary who is hell bent on our destruction. That is a very wrong conclusion at best and a blatantly mischievous one a...

I would push for F-35. Trump -2 can make it happen. 40 planes will do just fine. Even if it is costlier than Rafale (which I doubt)

BTw the above site looks like loaded with viruses that a 'normal' software will not catch.

I did not know that our Mig 21 supported ELTA radar and missiles (we got kopyos and r-73/r77). Was he talking about Romanian upgrades or has he taken to some good afgani stuff?

We keep on rehashing the same, and it is because we are ( at least I am) disappointed that the air battle did not yield at least 4 to 5 TSPAF downed plane for 0 loss of IAF planes. In my mind that is how strong the IAF is. And the reality is in a true air to air battle as in a full fledged war, it w...

long range BVR can be anything...Astra (enhanced) has already been inducted, per news not 50 but 250 (is that per year - total amraam for TSPAF is 500). Astra enhanced per news is way better ranged than r-77 and equal or better than what the neighbor has. I hope we got some of those hush hush rusky ...

I think we should leave mk1a - light. Mk -2 is coming and it will have longer legs and payload. There is need for both. First is a cheaper fighter, small form (can fit in existing forward Mig 21 size pens), low operational foot print and fast turn around. It is good for quick scramble, CAP over own ...

I don't think AMAARAMS are bad missiles, they are in fact very good. All I was saying that AMARAAMs have only 10 kills in last 30-40 years and max range was 6 (or 10 miles). Mainly used by US against Serbia, IQ, Libya ETC. I think range may have been dedicated more by ROE, US had full control of the...

How come an IB officer is identified in Delhi and killed? It sounds just like jk in 1990s. Was it common info in his neighborhood that he was ib and some aapians outed him? Or aapians owned and operated cctv (the one that outed AS visits) traces and identified him. Then this info was shared with a g...

If my hypothesis is right, not firing r-77 on feb 27 does not have to do with either Roe or whose range is more. We were carrying limited number r-77 (and 73) as we were on continuous cap (and would not lug infinite number of missiles, simply to preserve them, else we would use up billion dollar wor...

We do not have luxury of 'secret' info and at least me, never flown a plane even on a desktop. Regardless, let me speculate (based on logic) 1. IAF was prepared for the retaliation. How many planes can it put on continuous cap?, We had around that time 150 SU30MKI (250 @60% availability), 36 M2k (50...

What optical sights? There are optical sensors for forward looking and down ward targets iirc on the 35 series. I had this brainwave (or did I read it somewhere) that 35 series had many optical sights mainly to uncover LO planes (that may not be so easily tracked by radar). In theory, even 1 degree...
