small question regarding FBL (fly by light) as i understand Block 3 are built to equipped with it which itself is big achievement. does it changes the weight of Block 3? does it make it agile +-9G aircraft. is the airframe made strong enough?
why is it a prototype? if changes are as block built...
we have the oldest ERIEYE systems..not the latest. ER version was planned to purchase but since no new F16C/D so no ER..as well.
this is what i think...(ASC-890) Erieye
The original customer, Sweden, continues to operate its Saab 340 aircraft, but through the delivery of pairs of aircraft to...
Sorry Guys! As much i love to see more F-16s but real/correct/factual status is "Train has left" we will retire these F-16s when there life is over...no new F-16s or used ...we have 75 and will retire them after taking peacetime & wartime attrition.
PAF has moved on!
@MastanKhan
I wanted to share something so people can understand.
We (PAF) had MiG-21bis since 1989 we flew to till it cant be flown against everything we (PAF) had its radar and capability. she wasn`t armed when she arrived...some of you dont know that we had super 7 project going on at that...
some interesting information about Derby
Derby was in operational service with South African air Force cheetahs named as "R-Darter" with both modes of operations LOAL/LOBL they were manufacturing them in late 90s..by guess who Denel/Kentron.
So PAF already knows about it quite well :)
Mastan Sb, PAF flight ops is section oriented now. there will more then one missile chasing an enemy.
grit of situation is how quickly things will go from 34nm to merge! and then furball.
@drunken-monke
I can tell you what happened to Sqn Ldr.Ajay Ahuja..how he died but then you are going to ask me proof which i cant provide....or no one will...i respect him for what he did..unlike his Squadron Mate who after becoming Air Chief had resorted to.. but lets say what i am going to...
Correct! i dont but do you? you are here to "troll" thats it..you here here to gather info...you do not have any idea...Zero!
because if you had...your post would have been knowledgeable...but what i see/read is "wastage of bandwidth"
Our Indian friends are forgetting that AIM120C5 has home on jam mode as well.
what i cant understand is that our benevolent Indian posters cant find details of there own operations...zero...so they come along here and start asking questions or just for sake of it "troll". they cant tell you the...
No No...they IAF fly armed also but just dont come near 50km buffer (NOFLYZONE) from International border same goes with 25km (NFZ) from LOC. due to Update ROE.
Please do not include commercial or Quad copter drones..in the list. ROE is updated for Fast Jets and Semi-Heavy drones...
And 2nd...
As I said "25km to LOC or I say CFL to be correct" previously and 50km from IB no IAF fighter plane came close (let me remind you 10km was previously mutually agreed buffer).
so actually IAF cant fly inside it own sovereign territory.. on its International border (IB)
on both of the dates you...
@NA71
Small little tiny news i come across...they do not come near 50km to IB or 25km near LOC as per New ROE laid after 26th Feb (Balakot) if they breach the barrier (Effectively a NO-FLY-ZONE) they will be considered "Hostile" and be dealt with inside India or disputed territory.
:)
the crow kind did not take it lightly they also went in retaliation the shot down a MiG-21 in Rajhistan within 4 days (i think it was 2nd or 3rd March) when out of nowhere Indian were crashing there planes here and there due to "mechanical faults"
then it all just stopped! no more crashes did...
Food for thought!
we are manufacturing 100% rocket engines (Liquid & solid) in house (Talk about metallurgy!)but we chose not to make engine for tanks..its not that we cant manufacture it we can we have the ability it just resource and expense prioritization.
Aircraft Engine well that is black...
Guys,
I am pretty sure, these guys @jk007 @Jaskier who are dishing away all the scenarios presented to them are just trolling..these guys do not have in-depth knowledge or intellectual capacity to properly discuss or prove there point.
if you ask them the critical question regarding IAF OrBat...
