Indian Air Force's Unique 'Bird Deterrent' Method !

[Windjammer]

Birds present a major safety hazard to both Civil Airliners and Military aircraft. Several military aircraft crashes are reported each year due to bird strikes, thus authorities at airports and airfields deploy methods to ward of any wildlife specially birds from airfield parameters. These include, security personnel patrolling with shotguns firing cartridges, vehicles equipped with ultrasound speakers, trained dogs to chase away birds and mammals and even bird repellent kites or the old favourite scarecrows planted around the base. The Indian Air Force has however been using their own unique method by deploying a person with drums next to the Taxy or Runways. He constantly beats the marching type drum in the shadow of operating jet fighters. Just wondering standing so close to the operation area and with all the jet noise, how effective can be this method. !!!

They employ a variety of techniques, firecrackers, even trained birds of prey to keep the rest away.. if a drum works, it works. Not sure what amount of FOD damage they do but best not to even have them strike the canopy or fuselage.

The SU 30 has these retractable grills to prevent it, or they can be equipped with them

Save 2 birds with one drum

According to data, Most bird strikes occur during the landing phase of flight and below 500 feet and it's not always the intake.

wtf, you sure that first one's a bird strike ? :o

Some airforces are vary of bird hits and employ unique and funny methods to avoid them.

Ever heard of a train engine hit? Some Airforces have that unique distinction. What do they deploy to scare the Train engines away?

Is that an eagle?

Some desparate losers will not understand that once Peshawar airbase had a railway crossing it's runway that was used twice every week. However very few airforces have the distinction of crashing onto a motorcyclist.

A crashing aircraft can fall on a bike, a truck or a village. How is that so unique? Happens all over the world. Even in PAF.

But, some super capable people get air borne by mere mention of anything that they don’t like.
Be careful when you get airborne, you might get shot down by your own F-16. You know what I mean

There is always a justification for one’s own failures.
Other’s failures are put of panic but own one’s are designed and well planned.

Dear friend Windy creates these beautiful threads and I help him out with a little course correction.

Otherwise I don’t mention such incidents.

During combat IAF MiG 21 leader shot down his own number 2.
Such incidents are not unheard of.
However, unable to distinguish between a supersonic jet and slow moving Chopper in own airspace, the credit goes to...

Lmao one happened during actual combat, a stray missile during the 80s.
Vs

Shooting your own chopper hundreds of miles away from any enemy activity in sheer pissing panic.

As I said, I'd shut the fk up alas that's doesn't apply to indians like yourself.

You’re expecting too much from him and them. They have deeply seated inferiority complex.
It blocks logical and rational thinking.
