Well, that's what they say but, one of the MiG-35 'prototypes' actually had the fold-able wings! Poor MiG. And what does India gain? Precious foreign exchange and time I guess. Mark my words, HAL, as it always does, will screw this up. What makes you think the french not be like the russians or...

No doubt about it. Here ya go - Indian Air-to-Air Victories since 1948

Yes, it is not, because the current prototype is not even a regular prototype but only a modified MiG-29K airframe, hence the increase in wing area and etc. It even has no air brakes, and its associated hydraulics and uses rudders, just the like Su-35. So that's another weight loss. The 11t is...

People are still into this after the L1 has been named. :smitten: Don't worry MiG-35 fans, the follow up order will most probably be MiG-35 if HAL's record of Laziness and babudom is taken into account. They will surely screw up and inflate the cost to gigantic proportions, like they are...

Outdated?? They still haven't been upgraded! Atleast a couple of MiG-29s have been upgraded/underway, while the Mirage-2000 still is in preliminary stages! What if a war starts next week, brought on by a mumbai style attack which is currently underway as we are typing this? Don't count your...

lol, why is it ugly fat bi%ch? Are you referring to the UPG upgrade which gives it a hump? Even so, it is still beautiful. Regardless of Beauty or not, it still kicks asss much more than it previously did, and that's what counts. In Dogfight with Short range missiles: Su-30MKI decimates MiG-29B...

Sorry if it has been posted before. Beauty vs Beast Finally a long running debate comes to a closure, a debate which seemed never ending like the size of the cosmos itself. Now that may seem like an exaggeration but that was how the Aviation community found itself whenever the subject of...

lol.. look at it spin in the end. Russians!! This reminds me of an Mirage-2000 vs MiG-29 article I read. I think I'll post it.

Actually a MiG-21 was shot down by a MPADS from Militants, not regulars. Also a heli was shot down too, but no idea who fired it. A MiG-27 flamed out & crashed due to engine failure, no MPADS. IAF did cross the LoC from time to time. Especially the ones bombing from Jaguars & MiG-27, which...

How did you come to the 250 figure? If you are taking about the future then ok. As of now, PAF only has 18 F-16Block52 plus less than 10(?) upgraded MLU F-16, which are confirmed to be BVR capable. Has the BVR been fully integrated into JF-17 and given operational clearance? PAF Mirage-3 and F-7...

That post was in continuation to my previous detailed earlier post which was deleted. I was not talking about F-16s and their jammers. MiG-21Bis/Bison are not 40 year old! The latest Bis only rolled out of production in 1988.

That info pool is full of posts with future tense. At present JF-17 has 85km/5m2 radar, no HMS & Jammers. I don't know from where you are sourcing this "Mig 21s couldn't been used anymore" from. MiG-21s are still good for the next 5 years till 2017 after which they will be phased out by 2017, 10...

The figures are right there along with links from reliable sources. See for yourself and decide which is more superior. HMS = Helmet Mounted Sight. A must have accessory for dogfighting. Helmet mounted display - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yesterday, we wrote up RAND’s latest assessment of the PLA air forces that focused on modernization progress over the past decade and China’s development of a fighter production base built largely by reverse engineering Russian and some Israeli designs. Meanwhile, David Axe reports that there...

If it were the other way around- if Pakistanis were the ones occupying high positions in saltoro/siachen and if India wanted to withdraw, would pakistan have withdrawn? If your answer is yes, then you need psychiatric help.

So that makes 1 howitzer almost $5 million. Now that is one costly A-gun. Don't the Russians have something similar? Or did they get an American Gun solely because our dear leader capitulated to Hilly Madame's wishes/orders?

MiG-27 can land on even dirt tracks. Western fighters generally require a well laid runway. Does anyone have any info with a source whether a jaguar can do that on poorly laid airfield dirt tracks?

No no no no no no NO!!! Buddy, you need to know the difference between Mirage-3 and Mirage-5. Mirage-3 is an interceptor with secondary ground attack capability. Mirage-5 is only a Ground attack jet, it doesn't even have a radar. Mirage ROSE 1 was performed on Mirage-3 and ROSE-2 and ROSE-3 was...

^ 10-15 years is a long time. WW2 began and got over in just under 6 years. 1971 war lasted less than 2 weeks. I think you are confusing Upgraded ROSE Mirage-5 which number only around 30-35 aircraft, with the Un-upgraded Mirage-5. I don't think un-upgraded Mirage-5 has the above 'lolz yes'...

A lot is unknown about the ground attack capability of these jets. Which of these do you think is the best among these 3? And please state your reasons. I have these figures below, however these may be unreliable because they weren't checked with multiple sources. Also some of the data is...
