You are missing one important aspect of Cold Start. The objective is not Pakistan,but PA.

Let me ask you a fundamental question. Define poverty for me. Dont bring in the 1 dollar/ day thingi. It is just used to make the western world feel happy that they earn more dollars than "other parts of the world"!

Yup that's right. The Europeans were more desperate for a extension.

I take it that you dont have worth while counter argument. Your childish remarks proves it very well. And yes kid,all the missile in this world will have a similar aerodynamics structure,based on the objective. The laws of physics are same for everyone. Shouldn't you complain that the...

And what is the myth about it? Atleast they openly say what is developed in India and what is not. I hope you understand the meaning of term "myth". Looks like you easily believe that India is telling the truth when they say something is developed with external assistance, but not when they...

SA-6 Gainful / SA-N-3 GOBLET And Akash is Single Stage,completely ramjet powered and command guided with No terminal radars. I hope that makes the differences clear. It obviously looks similar because it needs INLET FOR RAMJET ENGINES. Any ramjet missile developed even by US needs a inlet. It...

And what was the objective?

Wasn't it already known that IA held the lines till morning,after which IAF attacked the armour? IAF's planes did not have night fighting capabilities. Hence they could attack only after the sunrise. What is new in this?

Neo, Although it may not be 110%,but yes there is a huge parallel black economy in India. There is a very popular term called "Delhi based businessman", whom generally the bollywood actress get married. It actually means a bunch who have huge "unaccounted" business and dont pay tax. Delhi is...

Well if that is the case, I think it is profitable for any nation to befriend them. Why fight when you fulfill your wishes from the magic lamp! MRCA was meant to be 125 Mirage 2000. IAF wanted a french aircraft. No one is buying Rafale. It was a golden oppurtunity for the French to sell them to...

KH is way too big for IN to maintain. Worse it is like learning alphabets all over again! Anyone remember KH uses catapult to launch aircraft! It is some after lunch day dreaming by some "defence reporters"

Okay on a lighter note, if I assume the plane is broken in 1000 parts, that mean each part is worth $1.2 million . I think it is time to collect some :D

Sir, Unfortunately what MRCA comes to IAF is now a political decision rather than issues of logistics,or training etc. It has grown for a simple fighter contest to something defining geo-political relations. By the look of things most probably it would be F-18's. Russians have got cash for...

Has JF-17 test fired a BVR so far? I would be interested to know the radar involved. Are there any plans for two seaters?

A-10 is good only in area where you have air superiority, else it is a flying duck! It is rather an overkill for blowing things on ground for a nation like,say Pakistan. USAF wanted to muster whatever it can to handle Soviet Armour. Hence it is worth only for USAF.

300 km range? I would to see some proof of that. Americans don't design radar with such powerful transmitters. That is a Russian way of doing things,because they could not develop sensitive receivers. You dont want to ring your adversary's RWR do you? I am yet to come across a report where it...

Not really. what would the difference in detection range b/w a Block 52 and AESA F-16? No much actually. AESA is not a wonder weapon when it comes to detection range. It has other abilities which makes it a force multiplier. Any way with AWACS in picture,everyone will see everyone.

F-16IN or F-16xx does not, will never super cruise. This notation came in being when as usual, idiot reporters printed that F-16 has ability to supercruise,when the LM guys just answered a question over supercruise, that it MAY BE able to, in a CLEAN CONFIGURATION.

Money to buy all these big guns ;)

And how come FT-2000 has "high kill ratio"? What makes you think that IAF will base it's awacs and tanker within the range of FT-2000? A Chinese copy of Russian system becomes super duper the end of all? Anyways totally irrelevant. My post is in response to the scenario mentioned by one of...
