The FACT that IAF checked out the F-16IN and summarily rejected it after exhaustive trials says enough about the F-16's. It is the capability of the PAF pilots that the italians lost out. I am sure that the Typhoon in IAF hands will be second to none!

I have a few thoughts I wanted to share. Though it seems that this may have been discussed at length at an earlier date, I believe there are a number of factors one needs to keep in mind. The PAF pilots being talked about here are invariably those seconded to the TuAF from PAF. The reason is...

It should be the EL/M 2084 or a derivative. IAF is inducting the radars as a precursor to the induction of Barak. AFAIK, 2084 was supposed to be the system chosen by the IAF while the Army and the navy decided to go with the 2248 and its land based derivative.

^^^ It is interesting to see the use of both mp7's and AK's. Different fire teams for different roles ofcourse!

natgeo - MISSION ARMY part ii has a small clip of Arjun MBT in action!

The EO pod and refuelling probe were removed from the flight to save of fuel (reduced drag).

Stumbled upon this video of the tanker's viper (DCS) control. Some great visuals from both outside as well as the bridge

If you read the above quote, it does not say that LCH will "replace" LUH requirement. The army aviation corps needs LUH replacement which are used in the siachen/ kargil/ northeastern sectors for transport and logistical support. The "interest" being talked about is understood for a long time...

I do! But I am also quite certain that many members on this forum are either not from pakistan or not living there! :rolleyes:

More.... Amazing belly shot :) Don't you just love that tiger! Made to kill :devil: DIRCM will be israeli MUSIC in all likelihood...... link: http://www.el-op.com/category/MUSIC

Documentary by al jazeera on the shaba farms dispute. Note indian (UN) peacekeepers and shining INSAS rifles!

The role is very important. If the ships are being considered for ASW in PN, it makes sense to spend as much as possible on the American ASW package and not on missiles. The ships will continue to have their CIWS. I am pretty sure that will get some air defence SAM's in future (maybe chinese if...

Isn't IDAS for u-212? Also, I was under the impression that U-214 was no longer under consideration for the PN thanks to the change of plans to marlin ssk's? IMO, with IN poised to go for additional foreign subs and the way Germans have been pushing for some time, U-214/(21X?) could very well...

Well brake chute, arrestor hook, decoy etc are all part of the current su-27/30 line up. So no changes there! As far as rear radar goes, mki's don't have one and PAKFA will have one (in all likelihood)! The flight test program should throw up interesting challenges wrt design and specs. We will...

from the insider of transport aircraft being transfered!

Scorpene pics from MDL: Serious delays!!! :disagree: - Shiv aroor

As you can see, I have said that it is a "development" of star. It is quite obvious that the radar on shivalik doesn't look like any of the two israeili ones. Thus if it is a development, I would believe that it would be the STAR and not the AMDR looking at the specs and the system alone! I do...

What makes you think army QR's are met by Akash? IA has not even ordered the system with trials having been completed years ago. IAF chief himself noted that there were some issues with Akash but most of them were rectified and thus the recent induction! Who knows army may still have...

Do you mean the one from IAI? What makes you think so? Here is the ELTA EL/M -2228S. Looking at the specs, I would have rather gone with our own 3DCAR!! AFAIK, IAI AMDR has an instrumented range of 100 km. here is some info on IAI AMDR: IAI link...
