Oh yes, categorize and demonize anybody who presents unpleasant truths to you. Labeling people like this gets you nowhere, and is a pathetic attempt to "otherise" whoever brings up inconvenient truths. What next - anybody who asks for justice for Bilkis Bano is a terrorist? Just admit that a...

That's what I suspect - @Horus , could you please clarify?

Hey, I'm curious - could you please provide a citation for your signature? I'm no fan of the dispensation in Delhi, but I hate to see respected members such as yourself spreading fake info. As to your question, I don't know what sort of evidence you expect - there was a press release, and...

Your guess is way off the mark.

It's the latter factor (hard landings) that are giving the poor IN maintenance crews a headache. The Mig-29k was simply not ruggedized enough to handle repeated carrier landings. In reptrospect, in was inadvisable to attempt to build everything (Airframe, engine, avionics) from scratch in a...

Depends on whether the missile was K-15 or K-4 - no news reports have clarified that. So it's either 750 Kms, or 3,500 Kms.

In a first, women pilots to run Chinook supply sorties Squadron Leaders Parul Bhardwaj and Swati Rathore were flying the Russian-origin Mi-17V5 helicopters before they were moved to CH-47F Chinook units based in Chandigarh and Mohanbari in Assam, respectively. The Indian Air Force has for the...

If my memory serves me right, there is a respected Pakistani PDF member (think tank) who was present during the aftermath of Op Trident, and involved in the firefighting efforts? @niaz I believe?

Exactly. There are several measures put in place to ensure that no airspace violations shall take place. For example, and this is a quote, "Combat aircraft (includes fighter,reconnaissance, bomber, jet military trainer and armed helicopter aircraft) will not fly within 10 kms of each other's...

This is more true of the Indian military. The Pakistani military has a better public relations arm than India's does. (ISPR.) You're right, thanks for the interesting footage.

Err...he asked for HUD videos. If you want to post generic combat videos, there are plenty from both sides. Here is a video of the Indian navy's air wing laying waste to East Pakistan's crown jewels:

The HUD view of this incident is available online, if you search for it (pics, not vids): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Pakistan_Breguet_1150_Atlantic_shootdown But generally, neither side encounters the other too often, and even if they do, the footage is not released to the public...

I request members not to start threads with such titles, unless there is an official source to back it up.

Congratulations to Bangladesh. I hope other countries in the region will learn a lesson or two from them.

Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. That "fake plane skeleton" (as you call it) is there for several reasons. I won't spoonfeed you, you can try to read about it and find out. Or talk to someone who knows a thing or two...

The first few MK1-A will definitely field the Elta-2052 radar. The next batches are expected to have Uttam.

They are doing rather well, compared to other South Asian countries.

They have proven to be less than optimal for carrier operations. They are very potent in their intended role, but their airframes simply cannot take the stress of repeated hard landings on the carrier. So their useful lives are expected to be less than originally advertised and expected. Hence...

I have to point out that scientifically, that makes no sense. Donkeys or humans or any other animals also need to burn fuel to do useful work. Per calorific output, an internal combustion engine is far more efficient than a donkey or horse - which is why horse drawn carriages gave way to motor...
