Cherry picking to suit your narrative ! In that case Rafale program started in 1973 - with first flight tech demonstrator happening in late 1980's .. so whats the point. LCA program - technical feasibility study started in 1980's ; Once it confirmed - actual funds were allocated in 90's - with...

Ohh i read this article when it came out - so you are quoting a 2001 article ! When LCA actually hadnt even or was about to take first flight ! And you realize that none of whats written in article no longer holds true. As for 1965 - we all know it was a stalemate. Politicians can do whatever...

2001 article ? Windy - How much time did you spend in searching..shouldnt you be posting latest information which makes the article you posted look as garbage. Anyways You dont need to tell us our vistory - we dont revise them ! We very well know that. LCA saga - has been documented very well...

You havent seen anything !

Full form is Final Operational Clearance. In plain speak - this machine has all the capabilties that IAF requires to fight an active war. Essentially it covers the full spectrum and roles ( AA , AG and AS) Yes - and that is a benefit only if you are the manufacturer of the plane. We can...

Thats an extremely simple take on the matter. A/C goes through IOC and then FOC. Between IOC and FOC - most of the Hardware is frozen (atleast theoretically); In LCA's case all the LRU's , wiring, Cockpit, A/C assembly is frozen. Software changes are never frozen ! Especially if you are the...

Serial Production ##

No - i suspect that. we never had internal layout of M2000. It was not a ToT deal. French jets are pretty much closed for us. The recent upgrade that was performed was more for avionics rather than anything else. With regards to it being an eye sore ! No its not. After a couple of flights - its...

Junior pilots ? Are you sure ? World over aviators consider flying display as one of the most challenging since margin of error is extremely small. So pretty much display team is made up of seasoned aviators !

Fighter pilot community from across the border is extremely sad ! It goes to show at the occupation level - they all mean well to each other ! There is a reason why fighter pilots across the world regard acrobatic low level display flying as the most challenging ! Ohm Shanti - to blue skies and...

This is great ! Although i tried matching the serial numbers to the pic - i am not getting the same reading. Analysts - will dig out this information ! Lets see if the missiles indeed belongs to IAF - it will come out. No such claim was ever made officially. Anyways - serial numbers are out ...

Bratva - go easy on the red. please read the full interview. Dhanaoa is extremely clear. Materially IAF does not have any proof of F16 shotdown .i.e. it does not have any debris. He goes on to say ( i am paraphrasing) ' Electronic signatures from our radars - EW platform-Ground network shows...

Thanks Sonic - i literally paused and went through frame by frame. Could not get the serial numbers other than '1221376' - in one frame..but lets see.

Hows that fact ? Chalo its a fact - it just means that PAK doesnt care about its citizens. PAK students should become chinese citizens..lol, i have not seen more sad situation about country. I asked a simple question - do your pilots wear badges/tags in operational scenario. The reason i am...

No - it achieved its objective. To prove PAF and DGISPR was lying about F16 usage. It achieved its objective - case closed. There is nothing else that need to be done. Actually it has done more than PAF has. It painted air battle picture - complete with how many aircrafts , the vectors and the...

I wish it were that simple. There will be russian databases that will be cross matched - analysts will poke holes in that story if IAF were ever to do that. After all some PAK analysts tried to pass of the AMRAAM as a Taiwanese AMRAAM - only to be caught. So publish the serial #'s Secondly IAF...

Areesh - This will lead again to long conversation, so why go that path! Just publish the serial #'s and end the entire conversation on missiles. Then its up to IAF to defend its F16 shot down - till that happens its all imagination. After all the serial # conclusively established that its a PAK...

Excellent ! Thank you for the pictures. Can someone decode the serial # of the missiles ? That way - perhaps it can be cross verified. Serial # is not visible and/or is hidden. My request - Make it public. Just the IAF made the # of AMRAAM public.

Again it just means that you dont trust your government. Its ok - its expected. You guys have a history of leaving behind people. Rest of your post - where you think you are smart with your come back but its actually retarded. Not my imgination; By the way - does your pilots wear name tag and...

Pakistanis are more safer in china - is your outlook. It shows no belief in the country. Just carry on quoting haddiths. Wouldnt be the first time in the world where a soldier was killed by their own side. Between soldiers on both sides are taught basic language skills/survival skills when they...
