Saw news flash that Israel conducted air strikes against Iran

Rubio clarified that they are unilateral without any US involvement

6 or 5 ? Mr Social Media should have been asked to clarify. These guys are beyond hope. Even after surrender of 93K soldiers, loss of country these folks think they still won 1971. The fundamental issue is their delusional thought that being descendants of muslim invaders they cannot be defeated by ...

Meanwhile: ... suddenly Pakistan’s PM Shehbaz Sharif is singing a brand-new tune—“Let’s talk, yaar, for peace’s sake!” All it took was India unleashing Operation Sindoor and turning nine terror launchpads and eleven airbases into smoking craters. Poof—diplomacy unlocked! At summits in Azerbaijan an...

Here it is, the full speech of IAF chief. We need a big time private=public sector involvement to bring up tech R&D in this country to state of the art level.

Karan Thapar: "Just to make it absolutely crystal clear for the audience listening to you, just as you believe India lied in 2019 about shooting down a Pakistani F-16, you believe Air Marshal Bharti has spoken an untruth when he claims an unspecified number of Pakistani planes were shot down; ...

Add 5-7 AWACS (EL 2090) and as many Netra as we can add. We need a fleet of 20.

50 more Rafale F4.2[/list]
20 AWACS might be an overkill. Also, as good as Rafales's are, we need Tejas MK2 pronto.

Given how many fronts we could be fighting at and our landmass area we need those many.

Tom Cooper with Navika Kumar in English. This is a good 1-1 video. I wish someone with better understanding interviews Tom Cooper etc in more depth and detail. I will summarize it later but one thing that stood out is Tom mentions Indian govt should have attacked air bases and launch facilities of ...

Tom Cooper believes in the 90s India's armed forces was a superpower but the political dispensation was not willing to use the Indian assets.,, Yes, and that gives reason to believe that this period's politico-bureaucratic dispensation (irrespective of party affiliation) is compromised. If we had a...

Karnad is an idiot who does not understand that besides the limit imposed on export version there are other issues as well. The effective range varies depending on launch platform's speed and launch altitude, plus range is different for a Refueller/AWACS/Transporter type target vs a nimble agile sup...

Fanne, I will just add following (not in 6 months) in next couple of years: Add 5-7 AWACS (EL 2090) and as many Netra as we can add. We need a fleet of 20. Add procurement of NGARM, SAAW (and in a later block increase their range to more stand off distances) Procurement of escort jamming equipment S...

We should have made handing over of Lashkar & Jaish left over top brass to India as a precondition for agreeing to ceasefire. This does not looks ok to me. IG made a mistake in 1971 and we are yet to see if Modi repeated that in 2025. On IWT, the US has no say. Also, no need to sit across and ta...

Sumeet

Why de-escalate now? It has been demonstrated that Indian air defense can stop their projectiles and they are unable to stop most of ours. Good way to punish them and also demonstrate the quality of our military hardware to potential buyers... Problem is now Pakis know our strength and generally th...

I am annoyed as heck too but fact is drones are just aerial terrorists… and GoI has the thickest hide in the world when it comes to loss of life. Drones are finite compared to madrasa Abdul.

Well the Pukes have suffered humiliation of attacks on Sialkot, Muridke, Bhawalpur and they are yet to recover. Op against Pakistan is a marathon war. On any good day it will involve military action but on average or routine basis it should mean: 1) No medical help to any TSPian 2) No visa of any so...

Meanwhile in the USA JD Vance says this, what a shame! At this point if US and other major powers say, "none of our business" that is good. We can take care of the problem as we wish. :D Exactly that is what matters the most. If India has to rise in stature worldwide we need to fix TSP pr...

Arnab saying three SAAB AWACS destroyed by IAF -- Sargidha, Faisalbad and Multan.

Most likely Astra, Meteor and S-400 doing the work

I hope all this is true. Will wait for official govt sources to clarify.

Sumeet

Hopefully, everything is not S-400 some should be eaten by Astra Mk1 or Meteor .

I would like to see how Meteor performed. Hope Erieye becomes its target.

I think we are underestimating the power of the new AD systems and ground radar coverage India has built in the last 5 years. Starting with Spyder, Akash, Barak, MRSAM, QRSAM, S400 and BMD systems along with routine CAP that is all networked in layers and it is impossible for any Balakote style Pak...

It will be upto ELINT/SIGINT capabilities of TSP and its supporters to find out. I am glad we are able to hit them from within our borders and despite their Air defense...

Comparing MKI to F-16s and Rafale to J-10A is incorrect. What IAF lacks and I would blame MoD & babus equally are: 1) Super Sukhoi should have been pursued on war footing and by now first squadron should have been inducted. (Its been 6 years since Feb 19 Balakot) 2) Same for Astra Mk1, Astra Mk2...

How different is the F4.2 standard compared with the IAF version with India-specific enhancements. Some of the capabilities may be comparable. For example while the exact ISE changes were never specified news reports suggested that the RBE2 radar had upgrades for SAR and GMTI modes (both are air-to...

Dilbu ji The main thing is how long can TSP sustain full fledged war with India ? The world is already in turmoil due to US Admin tariffs and Ukr-Russia war.

It seems unlikely that GOI plans to eliminate TSPA or ISI how much ever we wish for it. As surgical strike options are already exhausted, it is challenging for IA to take action without risking a prolonged conflict. One option could be to advance towards POK to gain territory, particularly near GB ...
