Stealth does not imply that the aircraft are "invisible to radar" as commonly but incorrectly stated in the media. Even the F-22 or B-2 can be detected by radars. But stealth aircraft like the F-22 or PAK FA have a reduced radar cross section (RCS) which makes it more difficult for enemy radars...

Here is an extract from an article which states that the PAK FA will be cheaper than other western fifth gen. fighters. Here is a link to the full article: Russia's fifth-generation fighter to be cheaper than foreign analogues Regarding maintainance, we can surely expect the PAK FA to be...

From reports, it does seem to me that the deal will go through (though I admit, I am not actively following each and every development in the deal). I don't mean to be rude, but this is not the appropriate thread for M777 Howitzers. Please don't change the topic.

I agree 100% with that statement.

Sir I would like to say CAPTAIN AMERICA is still continuing his trolling spree. http://www.defence.pk/forums/india-defence/66803-mig-27-crashes-west-bengal-post1021446.html#post1021446

You know, one would think you would stop trolling atleast when you are reported to the moderators. You seem to be a born troll! :eek::hang2: Anyway, congrats for successfully derailing this thread (not that you are new to derailing threads!)

Actually, it seems to include just about every single aircraft in the world and not just the MRCA contenders. So it will still be deviating from the topic if the entire article is posted in the MRCA thread. Anyway, in this thread, there is no denying that it is 100% troll!! :mod:

I am not the author of the above part. The picture too is not my work. I merely posted an article I found. The title is a link to the original article. I know that RAM coating is different from the airframe.

The fuel used was JP-7, not JP-17. I know it wasn't a big problem. The fuel has a high flash point making it extremely difficult to light by conventional methods. So while it did leak on the ground, it wasn't a fire hazard. In fact it was used as a coolant before being burnt.

I didn't say there was something wrong with the F-22 airframe did I?

F-22 Raptor Airframes Falling Apart Due to Bad Glue 30 of the F-22A Raptors delivered by Lockheed Martin use "inadequate adhesive" in their airframes. That means two things in plain language: bad glue; and big trouble. The report comes after investigators finished looking into an accident...

Let's hope things change when we get the new basic trainers. Till then, we'll have to make do with the PRS fitted HPT-32.

China shoots down its own satellite for the second time! For the second time in three years, China has shot down one of its dysfunctional satellites with a missile, US-based Foreign Policy magazine reported in its latest issue. The destruction of the satellite, which reportedly happened in...

How did you change your username?

I've reported you to one of the moderators. Now let's see if you'll stop trolling.

I don't think so. Don't forget that these MiGs are quite old. If the MiG-21s are "flying junk" like you claim, then why did the USAF praise the MiG-21 for it's performance in Red Flag?

IAF's MiG-23s have been phased out. only MiG-27s are still in service.

Sir, I would like to report a user "CAPTAIN AMERICA" who has been trolling in numerous threads. Although not at all related to the topic, CAPTAIN AMERICA will start saying that the IAF has lost many MiGs, MiG-29s have a poor safety record, MiG-21s are crashing frequently or something similar. On...

How is this related to the topic? This is a thread on MiG-27, not on MiG-29 or F-18 or corruption in India. Please stop trolling. BTW, since you seem to like wikipedia, why not look into the MiG-29 article? You will find that MiG-29s have a solid record with the Indian Air Force and they have...
