Shame to loose such brave skilled hands. Aren't these guys armed enough? Lobbing a grenade would have killed the rats in one go. Why did he have to brave with open chest into the hideout? Shame and pity that IA does not arm these men well when on such missions. Ahem...since no live video exists of ...

Paging Vishnu Som

From : Indian Air Force, in war games, gives US a run By Scott Baldauf | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor Quote: More recently, an American pilot who participated in the exercise, added his own two cents on the blog. "It makes me sick to see some of the posts on this website,"...

You know what is really advanced about the USAF? Their pilots can go on a BB, right after they have completed an exercise, and talk about it, and post photos. Wow, if one of our pilots tried that, the IAF would expel his kid from Air Force School, make his wife dance at the AFWWA dinner, and add 50...

I say that again with full conviction he is a lier to save his H&D. Would love to see rebuttal based on some facts and no unwanted pity due to gora skin . Well Arun if you really feel that strongly about it, why not confront Moose on f16.net. Like BR, that is an open forum. Edited post Shiv's p...

Moose is a lier and has no credibility. Look at this photo by Vishnu all IAF pilots that I see in those photos are just Flt Lt and Sqn Ldr (below Wing Commander). Wooh! Ease up dude. Unless you meant to type Moose is a f lier and made a Freudian typo :) Arun, I noticed that....he is probably not ly...

The Aha moment!

One thing to note on the BFM strategies was that their pilots would do maneuvers that we had not really thought of before...I am not saying that we didn't know how to react to it, I just mean that when we saw them do a certain maneuver we would think "wow, I never thought of doing that before&...

Vishnu's report

Vishnu Som was seen giving a brief lecture on cope-india standing infront of an F-16. He explained in excellent terms why the exercise is important for IAF and how IAF was able to outperform USAF. This will surely help to quell the suspicion in the minds of the public which started after the left p...

I shall say this and no more ... at least not yet ... but for all of you out there worried about how the IAF is coping with the USAF ... stop, have a long cold one ... and start thinking about how we may or may not perform in the NEXT COPE exercises. Vishnu Som No...we'd rather focus on this one ri...

I do not see any mobility problems during these kinds of events. These events are very good opportunities for regular soldiers to use new tanks and give back the r...
