Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

gripen marketing claims their laser pod can 'snapshot' the aftermath of an attack and tidls link can beam back the imagery instantly to ereyie, ground stations or even to other planes in the strike flying behind (yet to start attack run) so they can know which targets are left and move accordingly....

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

Earlier there were reports of MKI engine damage prematurely and when IAF raised the issue with russia they were told to clean their runways. We know that MKI has inlet mesh to prevent FOD. So despite having the mesh, is MKI more succeptible to FOD? Since I am assuming that airbase maintainace was s...

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

1. To say the USAF had the better of the IAF in 1vs1 needs to be substantiated. Since all exercises were with ACMI maybe the USAF would like to substantiate this claim of 'drilling brains out' and 'we dominated' with ACMI recordings. 2. The USAF had similar number of fratricide during the exercise ...

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

Sontu: Beta, we know where it was recorded: an Order of Daedalian meet (what AWST euphemistically calls Retired USAF officers) it was a part of the original YouTube Keywords and its still cached as such. Its not a USAF briefing but private comments that went public and now have been picked up by mai...

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

I assume IAF might have come to know about the weakness of SU-30 MKI’s TVC in WVR combat situation and I believe Chinese too were aware of this issue so you do not see the TVC in their SK/ MKKs yet. The question is how this WVR issue/problem can be resolved…my understanding is IAF has planned to br...

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

All data links only send out very little data. It just says I see something which is a bandit/bogie/friendly, type of a/c (not always), heading x, altitude y and speed z. The radar display unit on the a/c that's receiving this data then puts up the appropriate symbol with appropriate numbers on the ...

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

Any update on this? I would love to know what the AF thinks about this. People who do this sort of stuff for a living know about it. They are far better qualified than we are to judge the overall impact of the video.....I don't think they will share their opinions with us.....publicly :twisted: Our...

Re: IAF at Red Flag / Nellis AFB 2008

Thanks guys. I am glad that many of you still remember me. Been lurking on the "new and improved" BR but this video was a little too much for me to stomach from the sidelines. I believe "the concerned folks" have already started hearing about this video. I guess they are in the b...
