Pakistan broke LoC rules; India went by book http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/pakistan-broke-loc-rules-india-went-by-book/articleshow/68312074.cms A much clearer picture... Pakis took the first shot and by the time the su-30 and mirages had recovered from defensive action the f-16s ...

Bharadwaj

The f16 is said to have taken shots from 40-50km... even if the sukhois had the r27 instead of the r77 they could have fired back. Even the mirages were said to be locked on and did not retaliate. Perhaps the cap were only cleared for wvr and equipped only for that?

Bharadwaj

After reading the IAF release from yesterday lets just say I am no longer that averse anymore to the choice of certain equipment on the tejas mk1a. Ok I will shut up now before i get banned.

Bharadwaj

That Hukum chap on twitter has the info spot on since yesterday.... The mki were indeed governed by the Netra/roe but successfully countered amraam and made it lose lock and slam into the ground. The porkis appear to have caught us by surprise with roe violation and amraam targeting.

Bharadwaj

Yes but MKI not firing R-77 R-27 at multiple bogies respecting ROE is also significant. I was toeing the ROE line a few pages upthread but this new information is a little confusing. If an amraam is fired at you, should the roe not be to let the bars do its work and kill a few vipers. Or were the c...

At a press conf in Coimbatore ACM Dhanoa said 6 squadrons of mk2 will be bought to replace mig-29,mirages etc.

Bharadwaj

The su-30s can swat down the solahs whenever they want... this has been shown in many exercises. However there are rules of engagement plus there are indications in the media that it was only the migs which were at the actual merge. The porkis and their chamchas in the western media can claim whatev...

Bharadwaj

While the bison undoubtedly got the job done is there any reason that the Tejas cannot be moved north on a temporary detachment to fly cap? Shukla was reporting something about more work being required on derby envelope and windmill restart last week. Will this place restrictions on the ability to s...

Maybe the IAF Mig25 should be brought out of retirement and refurbished? Need it now more than ever. After Brasstacks in 1987, IIRC a Mig25 did recon on Pak forward areas and operated with impunity.

I think we were offered new built 31s by the Russians around the time of the 25 retirement.

Bharadwaj

Iaf is not Paf... We are not going to claim aircraft shot down on the sole basis of ground reports. There will be clear evidence on both ground and airborne radar playback. Showing this publicly is suicide as it will clearly reveal capabilities. I admit that many of us have gotten overexcited with s...

Twitter Source Giving impetus to #MakeInIndia in defence. Now, AK-203 Assault Rifles will be made in India by a joint venture between Russia’s Kalashnikov Concern and Ordnance Factory Board. just leaving it out here for people who reined me in for expecting too much. I concede I overestimated the c...

The "21" reference is going to quite ironic when Lockheed meets IAF brass for presentations, tests, etc

Sir .... Truly thank you. That confirms the suspicion that it was a ex Jordanian twin seater.

Bharadwaj

Bloody hell!!!... we have a piece of the amraam which took out the bison. Unkil needs to be told no defense buys till they take them back.

Bharadwaj

This certainly gives the public impression of going down the so called escalation ladder.... nevertheless good news for the near and dear of wco.

Bharadwaj

The briefing will I am guessing be about the decimation of the balakot pigsty. The weather may have cleared enough for us to have sat intel that can be shown publicly. We probably already had other intel but not the reveal-able type.

Bharadwaj

Times now reporting that the pakis were locked on to and ran back to their bases. Might have been another attempt at a trap.

Bharadwaj

The pratt has the same fluted metal section in the center. The r25 very clearly does not.

Bharadwaj

The pigs were dumb enough to post photos their slaughtered solah yesterday claiming it was an Iaf bird. The IAF has caught this and the agencies now reporting.

V.K Singh ji making it very clear on CNN IBN - two parachutes seen....one was ours and the other the solah pilot. The General's word is good enough for me.

Bharadwaj

Mirror Now showing footage of green colored aircraft pieces on our side of the LOC. Looks like the paki just made it across before ejecting.

Bharadwaj

Taking Bart's advice and deleting it.

Bharadwaj

*That* video is going to cause blood to boil( heck mine is well and truly boiling)..... Beyond emotions, the optics for NAMO are not good. Retaliation has to be swift. Or at least put out the sat intel of the busted pig sty.

Bharadwaj

The video does look authentic and the service number quoted matches with supposed records.... This indeed looks like it is now a full scale war.

Bharadwaj

Reuters is publishing all porki fake news as fact....

Bharadwaj

See the feature at 34°27'50.6"N 73°19'05.2"E this seems to be the pigsty. It is marked madrassa on Wikimapia. It is on top of a hill. It kind of matches with the photus in media. Spot on Saar.... The aam abdul interviewed here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An3Y9Go0PhE calls the area kaga...

Bharadwaj

I get sneaky the feeling that the Sukhois or the upgs will taste bandhar or solah blood tonight. The pakis have perennial premature..... errr...... strategic issues and will likely send some goats for the sacrifice.

Bharadwaj

Vishnu Som on twitter quoting sources saying we may have to wait for the sat intel given the poor weather over the area. I am guessing there is footage either from on ground intel or from the weapon itself but may not be releasable for obvious classified/protection reasons. Nevertheless gives an opp...

Bharadwaj

The video of the bhandar helplessly flying is comical.... No doubt Paki air defenses were completely jammed and had no idea till it was too late. Times now reporting Sukhois were top cover so we cannot rule out the possibility that they nailed a couple of bhandars after the mission was over.

Bharadwaj

Paki chadi removed...... Their news channels are hilarious. When the IAF footage hits the road these jokers will have nowhere to run. NAMO has truly lived up to his word.

Bharadwaj

To the untrained eye the proposed navy mk2 looks like a far more elegant solution while the mwf looks somewhat like a bandaid job to meet changing requirements. AMCA,MK1a,MWF and Navy MK2 all at the same time- hope ADA gets the budgetary resources they will need.

Bharadwaj

Some videos of tejas demo at ai19 showing 20-21 sec for a 360. Pretty amazing for a fighter with an alleged str issue. Any link..? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnqEBdNK8tY Looking at it again perhaps the video is accelerated or cut in certain segments for production purposes.? http://www.youtube....

Dr. Gosh being understandably cagey about things... This is one program that needs to be structured like the N subs where funds and component procurement policies are not a hurdle.

Bharadwaj

The solah is tied to pakis psych as a nation. Send 5-6 rambas and baaz with intent to knock a few solahs down inside their territory. If that causes a conflict then as said above it is fine. Otherwise a bhramos barrage never to be forgotten.

Bharadwaj

Its time for a not so surgical strike now... Perhaps time to put the Bhramos to use.

Bharadwaj

So in the name of make in India we are ruling out the possibility of a domestically designed riffle for a generation? :( I have supported most of what this present government has done but some decisions like this are silly. I think govt wants to end this "If only we had xxxx import we could ha...
