Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 23 March 2021

The Air Force's own statement (rather carelessly imo) uses the word "militants" instead of terrorists, There is a difference between the two and we need to make sure it's clear that these are foreign sponsored armed terrorists attacking our forces and not just some anti government militants

As far as I'm concerned they're all terrorists - some are just Pak-controlled and some are not.

Vehicles for troop transport need to have some level of bulletproofing.

One lesson from Russian conversion.of dumb bombs.

India should look at similar solution for the large number of 1000 lb bombs with IAF.

Sudarshan was not very good solution.
DRDO has the GPS chips and MING that can be used.
Besides 1000 lb are inexpensive to make.

DRDO has developed the PGHSLD, which is basically a guidance kit for HSLD bombs. I think even the G-series bombs might offer a solution for wings and guidance kit to be added to legacy dumb bombs.
