All these points might make technical sense. But MKI was sold as the next best thing to sliced bread! I still remember IAF chief gushing about it on induction and how it takes IAF to one of the most formidable AF in the world. Yet, it cannot even be used for a strike like Balakot?! From practical e...

@manjgu: Smart weapons too need accurate targeting; including continuous lighting up of the target. The targeting aircraft may have been forced to break its lock once the Mig21 emerged, and the Kopyo with its 50-60Km range started lighting up the RWR. As others have noted, lobbing an LBG into a mili...

@naird: WingCo Abgi has visual confirmation of the F-16 kill. It was a shot taken at around 10Km Range and a few seconds is all that was needed. We have numerous videos and eye-witnesses of multiple plane down in PoK. We have NO news of any Su-30 on the ground anywhere. It would be next to impossibl...

Samir Joshi's observation that the R73 shot was a frontal aspect shot into the F-16 turning in towards the Mig21 is something which is not getting the attention it deserves. Could the Big White Puff be the R73 exploding in the frontal plane of the F-16 with the expanding rod warhead forming the circ...

I am strictly against contributing to more space debris just for showcasing weaponisation and deterrence. This will soon lead to ocean plastics like situation. The space is already overcrowded. In any case every commercial space launch leaves behind 10 - 20 pieces of space debris ... probably more....

Don't worry about this video its probably not related. Last time I saw it was updated on 26feb, while the engagement happened on 27th feb. That date depends on the location of the update so it is not reliable. One thing struck me that the plane which went down in the fireball was falling nose down....

One thing to keep in mind is that A/D is a layered effort. Not every inch can be protected by a CAP cover and that is why the Ground based SAMs are important in providing cover to vital installations. Another big takeaway is that numbers matter. The PAF could not engage with the M2Ks going to Balako...

the question is when do operations get over. Not that I want them to over, but this operation has to end and ongoing operations have to start taking place. I believe the objective is to stop terrorist attacks on India coming from Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Operations should continue in...

The Pakis have confirmed what happened. Very likely WC Abhinandan fired the longer range missile and while the F-16 was busy evading it, closed in to finish the deal with the R73. The missile remains confirm that the explosive charge triggered which can only happen with the proximity fuse is engaged...

The twitter video which shows both the white puffs from the F-16, and the second explosion (Mig21) shows the contrails of the weapon which hit the 2nd aircraft.

And given the structural integrity of the Mig21 it was not a direct hit but a proximity hit.

VikramS

What does this even mean ? Doesnt make sense Usually, just detecting an aircraft on radar doesn’t mean having a ‘firing solution’. In order to have a firing solution, you need accurate azimuth, elevation and range/velocity data. Unlike ground radars, aircraft radars aren’t stationary. Also our airc...

It needs to be noted that it is Pakistan which is upping the ante at the border instead of the other way round. They fire with small arms, we respond. They move to higher calibre mortar rounds, we responded. They moved to 105 MM artillery, we copy it, they have also brought in the 155 MM heavy guns...

Interesting From the incident it is clear now that the wing man of Bison was a MKI and perhaps other type PAF in anger fired 4 AMRAAM against the MKI once it saw its F-16 hit , Expecting atleast 1 would hit its target. Must be a surprise becauase IAF was not expecting an AMRAAM launch or a BVR enga...
