Humidity is not all. Problems With Motor Slow U.S. AMRAAM Buys | Defense News | defensenews.com
The R-77s which India procured were after just 4-5 years of them entering into service. So hiccups will be there like the AMRAAM mentioned above. Also, the Russians were in the midst of a collapse...
Not flustered over anything, a newer version of R-77 required so much care and handle. An old version of R-27's tolerance must be even less.
Only you are talking about them being experienced. How were they more experienced? In case you dont know, VVS follows the a rigid concept of training, and...
I don't see any "experienced" in what was quoted. Besides, experienced compared to the poorly trained Ethiopian counterparts or experienced w.r.t flying hours? Also is the fact that the russian airforce couldn't even fly properly after their collapse of the S.U and these ex-russian pilots, would...
Okay, so you are comparing a professional Airforce like the IAF with the Ethiopian Air Force which does even have properly trained pilots, and hired mercenaries with god knows how their skills were. And not to mention the crucial aspect that these airforces care jack squat about their (missile)...
For people saying PAF did not engage because the war was within the IAF airspace are terribly wrong. The war took place a stones throw away from the LOC. The Tololing, Tigerhill and Jubar battles especially were a jump away from the LOC. MiG-27s and Jaguars inorder to achieve surprise, often...
This incident was confirmed by a third party neutral source, the ACIG group, and it still adores their site Indian Air-to-Air Victories since 1948
May99 223 Sqn MiG-29 G.Chibber Lock-on 2xF-16 ?Sqn/PAF
while the other PAF claims like the F-7+F-16 - Mirage lockon story is just a...
All we know is that MiG-29 won the tender. On what basis it won, whether it was technical, or political, or cost or anyother no one knows. Would be good if myanmar released the details of that.
I'd take a rosoborone source which is straight from the horses mouth, over third party "sources"...
I know that pole-vaulter. That line was for the "previously bought" highlighted line.
For the line which you quoted now, I'm asking who did flight global contact? My link's info's source is Rosoborone export, russia's offical export agency for military hardware.
Your link doesn't say anything about weps or ammo being part of the deal. The line which you are highlighting is what Myanmar did PREVIOUSLY. Read it carefully.
And the other thing, Flight global is getting info from whom? The news for my link comes from Rosoborone export.
Russian sources are bullshit?
Carrier based in the sense, MiG-29M/M2 is based on the MiG-29K.
The MiG-29M/M2 fighters belong to the new unified combat aircraft family designed on the basis of MiG-29K/KUB carrier-based fighters.
- MiG-29M/M2
It is still not clear how many fighters were...

Myanmar to buy 20 MiG-29 fighters for $570 mln - paper | Business | RIA Novosti
Russian bid to supply MiG-29 Fulcrum-D carrier-based fighter jets beat China's offer to sell its latest J-10 and FC-1 fighters.
More MiG-29s for Myanmar
One crash for a year. Not bad considering their age.
So we should dump a BVR capable plane, a get a non-BVR capable junk? Are you Crazy?
Edit: Oh! You are Chinese! :lol: That explains it.
Where did i say they have same capabilities. F-7PG is mroe manuverable than F-7MB due to double delta wings. But JF-17 ows it's life to 1950's MiG-21. Something the LCA does not.
You don't ask the nazis about the awesomeness of Hitler.
Well when you go down the line, the kid will be a lot different from his parent's traits, and even more different than his grand parent's trait. But still they are part of the same family tree.
It is still more indigenous than JF-17 will ever be pindigenous.
