Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Armed Forces
Especially if live missiles get carried repeated on pylons.. Flying around repeatedly with live missiles mess up the internal components and can end up getting bricked. Dummy rounds are usually the way to go to make an impressionKaran M wrote:If its not wartime, yes. Common. Live rounds have finite shelf life's.k prasad wrote:

Indeed. The Rambha is a big bird and thus the name RambhaManish_P wrote: Sukhois are at a distance in the background.. and still are visibly larger than the Rafale in the foreground
The Rambha has a larger wingspan (48.2 feet vs 35.4 feet), a longer length (72.97 feet vs 50.1 feet) and is taller (20.85 feet vs 17.5 feet).

I knew the Sukhois were big but still was taken aback. Thanks for the education.

Forward looking mirror.
The instructor sitting behind sees the runway on a second mirror in front of him. Like a periscope.
Ancient, but does the job...

Looks like Super 530D and Remora pod. Could be an old picture.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Armed Forces
Super 530D + Remora. I don't know the slender missile. I thought it was Magic II, but is seems unlikely.Kersi wrote:Is it carrying and MICA or Super 530D?

It is an old picture, as the black radome tell us that it is the non-upgraded Mirage 2000H.
Upgraded Mirage 2000I/TIs have a gray radome.

Saar that load out is as you rightly pointed out the 530d plus remora ew pod and a captive magic R550 IR round. Captive as it lacks front end two rows of first fixed and then movable fins ala python 4/5Kersi wrote:R 73 ?Rakesh wrote:
