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: MiG-21 Bison shoots down F-16 in Kashmir
So until our decision makers understand this aspect of war and achieve an overwhelming advantage at the first point of contact or be prepared escalate to a far wider spectrum, we are doomed to these sorts of claims and counter claims.

Re: Indian ASAT Test

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.

A video which captures the max rate turns at Lima very well. The 22-23 second 360 turns appear to be faster than what the F-18 demonstrated in the same conditions. This seems more like 20-21 seconds 360 degree turn We should not have to compare , you can execute a turn in a tighter radius at a slow...

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 .
