From what I've heard, the smurf color is supposed to make it harder for opponents to see it during dog fights. Don't know, it sounds silly to me.

If that was true every nation who employs dog fight tactics for the air force would have painted their planes blue.

Nearest neighbour India has fought many wars using their jets, but none of their planes are blue, same for pakistan

The Russians do however. Even their cockpits were blue colored in order to give pilots a more "soothing" feeling

Although, I have never seen any USAF or USN fighter painted blue. Other than the Blue Angels which is only for air shows.

Oh, and there's Japan too:

Guys, if some Bangladeshi on a motorcycle can shoot down a Typhoon with a pistol, then we should forget about procuring new fighters

Hmmm...so thats what they teach you in SWADS

If Typhoon can be shot down by a pistol, JF17 and tejas will be downed by fat aunties chucking BATA slippers

Bangladeshis FTW
