Re: MiG-21 Bison shoots down F-16 in Kashmir

Gupt rogi Shekhar is trying to discredit the IAF because for him IAF failing implies Modi failing the intent is to finally target Modi that's the bigger picture there.

Re: Indian Naval Aviation

Massa's recognition of lot of India's military top brass will be the order of the day , post retirement they all will man one or other positions of great influence over India's arms procurement or even policy making . It will take some prudent policy making from the GOI to protect India's interests.

For shooting down 5 f-16s one has to first put up a fight , you don’t shoot that many when in defensive mode and we were only defending . Wars are never won like that .
