Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016

i read a while back that Russian tactics were to fire salvos of guided missiles at a target /targets - mix of SARH and IR to either force a mission kill or increase the size of the no escape zone(s) as we have hypothesised before - the paf most likely fired the amraams at the outer end of their rang...

Re: Operation Balakot: News & Discussion

sky fighter is a poor translation, knights of the sky is more literal
the word chevalier is very rich in meaning - literally 'horseman', but is used for knight - a noble warrior hero fighting the good fight for king and god, etc., etc. (slaughtering infidel beardies for the pope, etc., etc.)

roughly speaking the R73 warhead like many contemporaries explodes in two modes: 1. up the tail pipe and boom against the exhaust chambers and rips out the turbine section, front of the aircraft may be undamaged - this is likely if the Mig got a clean ass-shot by closing in on the rear (either verti...

accounts from aircrew shot down in enemy territory have a common theme - if they are found they are usually outnumbered and outgunned. a pistol is of little use and using it may only make things worse - i.e. guarantee that someone will shoot you. if you want to stay alive, your best bet is to be cap...
