Congratulations on the acquisition of L3 Harris simulation division. Indeed a great step!

Pilots going to No. 19 have to do 8 missions 'flawlessly' in order to complete the OCU, X number of missions are done with IP on F-16B's and Y number of missions are completed on A models. This is in addition to accumulate Z number of flying hours on F-16As. Not to mention, the simulator is also...

Dont give out much my man. :D

Genius, this still is the case. Clearly shows that your JSCC guest didnt teach you much. :partay: There are still no exclusive CCS vipers. They still borrow from either 9 or 29. #708 has been the red force aggressor for decades now, which means more stress on the airframe. However, red forces...

I agree. We never had to 'throw away' a viper. The reason being, we saw MLU update in mid 2000's, it brought back every airframe to life. Still, the 708 was cannibalized a lot more. It has seen a lot of flying in 80s and 90s anyway. Cannibalization doesn't necessarily mean we take off wings of...

You overdoze everytime you talk. And no. You dont know Haseeb Paracha at all. You have couple of contacts in squadrons and you spend 18 hours a day scraping instagram and facebook for pictures related to PAF. This is your entire qualification on PDF.

There is a gap in your understanding of the word 'cannibalization in the context of fleet readiness. First lets understand this. If part A goes wrong in aircraft# 707 and part B goes wrong in aircraft #709, it makes greater sense to cannibalize aircraft # 708 of these two parts compared to...

Every aerospace organization cannibalizes its assets on a temporary basis to make other assets serviceable. It's not like we have 100% serviceability for our F-16s. It is impossible.

Here you go. #84708 inflight.

A thread for post-2050 discussion. They cannot operate Mig 29Ks with full FoC aboard Vikrant. Tejas naval variant was kicked out. And now this. What a farce.

I must say, the angles of discussion ranging from Haseeb Paracha not making it/falling short during swift retort to Babar's blue chira are appalling. Not even close to how things actually work.

Its a CCS jet. Seldom leaves Mushaf. Stored and cannibalized for most of its life.

Bison killer.

Bison killer.

Not really. Radome shades are very irrelevant as far as operational considerations go. Except darker shades are more visible. If we take F-16s example, we see a variety of shades on viper radomes across 25 airforces. It is merely a side effect on its anti-static protective neoprene coating...

Time and time again.

LM's sales pitch to Slovakia for Block 72 did include an MKI print in the 'air to air combat record' slide. :partay:

Oh you have no idea how much fun it is to read BRF. Only a few Bhakts believe a viper was downed. The rest only comment on ISPR's better info warfare game. This topic isn't even in a discussion on this eve. :D
