Thanks for posting. This photo is the negation of all the Indian talk (to this day) that PAF did not have a BVR counter for the IAF during the Kargil conflict. The R-530Ds have been in service since late 80s. This, in addition to AIM-9 Limas, were a fairly potent counter for then compared to what the IAF was fielding.

We never had the Super 530D in service,only the initial R.530 was in service which was only good against bombers flying in a straight line. One was fired during 1971 war with no hit.

Thanks, I stand corrected then.

The Mirage had to break off before the result could be concluded.

So, how do we explain the 530D in the picture?
