I dont think this IAF not confident in R77 is true, then IAF would not have ordered soo many SU30 or upgraded MiG 29, Mig 21 to fire R77 or IN would have ordered INS VikramAditya plus Mig 29K. Plus M2000 upgradedversions also didnt fire MICA. Simple reason ROE, once Amraam were fired Su30 had to sp...

As Air Marshal Nohwar statement makes it clear that all the PAF fleet up there was out to take a Su-30MKI .....which they considered a prizes asset to take out hence the F-16's up there fired number of maximum AMRAAM at Su-30 MKI while MKI had to take defensive measures. An MKI would have been H&...

Yes Pakistanis have been closely supporting Qatari Armed forces. Even in 1985 when we were ferrying Mirage 2000s to India, the Brigadier in Doha who came to see us at the Tarmac was a Pakistani officer

at the most PAF would know about manouvering capability of Rafale and how to develop tactics around the capability let’s say BFM and if the use same weapon like mica or meteor its capabilities and how to train around it But beyond that key capabiliti s like Radar EW ELINT datalink etc and iaf tactic...

The issue might go beyond IFF or just data links .....For eg they may not want any Non-NATO origin radar to know the RCS of JSF as that Defense News report states “With the F-35 flying in close proximity to the S-400 system, over time, you could collect sensitive stealth characteristics of this F-35...

Well hurray no jsf for india then. Takes pressure off the amca JSF was never on card for IAF any ways ......mostly AMCA and may be a fleet if 80-100 FGFA to eventually replace MKI as Heavy Weight Fighter. The IN may have opted for JSF long term but with the S-400 thing and many other Russian Israel...

You can always have a spy in NATO or Russian MOD that can gather all those data and give it back to the hostile nation

Having said that this would rule out F-35 to us

Indian armed forces have displayed extreme cluelessness in small arma procurement. In the last two years they have gone from 5.56 Nato to 7.62 Nato to 7.62x39 as mainstay ammunition. Wait for a few years till they realise 7.62x39 is good for COIN but not for engagement of enemy combatants at ranges...

It is clear now that the range increase to 500 + km is being achieved via increase in speed from M 2.8 to 4.5

So a roughly 40 % increase in speed should translate to 40 % increase in range from 400 to 550 km ?

As per Montreux Convention carriers are not allowed to cross the straits and renaming to Air Capable Cruiser by SU.

But now Kuz Misssile is being removed to make extra space for Aircraft in Hanger and they will use it the same way that IN uses for fleet AD and ASW cover for Ships and Submarines.

This gets more comical every day from PAF who does not want to admit their F-16 got shot.

What happens in next conflict when they loose dozens of F-16 to IAF......would that be dozens of Decoys that IAF shot down
