I am aware of the fact. Its not "even the Mig 21" the Bison is a really superior aircraft. It has been upgraded dramatically, but the Mig 29 has not. The IAF has not confirmed that it can carry the r-77 yet, so its not safe to assume that they do. However, the ranges of the r-27s itself are...
Sorry raptorski, you're right, it does carry the r-27s though the r-77s carriage by IAF Mig 29s have not been confirmed by the IAF. Also it has a laser/thermal ranging device which is passive and thus is a whole lot more advantAGEOUS . Right now there really is no comparison between the f-16...
Deathgod, there is no real point in comparing the block 52s with the mig 29 k. The block 52s have just started coming in and until they all are operational there is no point. The mig 29 K is going to the indian navy not the air force, so once again a comparison is not really worthwhile. As it...
This has turned into a boxing bout. Shall we compare the two ac????
The Mig 29 firstly is a twin engine ac and is very powerful, its thrust to weight is greater than one which makes it superior to the f-16 that pakistan has.
Secondly both the radars are comparable. but the R-73 carried...
Siegheil I am trying to reply to your questions....
First point no 2.... well history is GENERALLY the story as recounted by the VICTORIOUS and anyway depends on whose version of history you have heard, read wiki about nero. Main sources of his story were from ppl who succeeded him and...
And BTW the jammer on the F-16 A/B cannot jam the r-77, no question of passive/active , it may, just may be able to jam the MKI AI radar, (cant say really coz we dont know the ECCM features of the radar).:cheers:
Also about jammers.....Israelis are known to be among the best in Electronic...
Novice09 is right. Building an airstrip in Nepal is not a military advantage. Till vry recently India had very poor relations with her neighbours unlike Pakistan. It is only recently that India has started changing her foreign policy and started making friends. Till recently India has...
You have made a very gallant statement . now can you justify it? which pakistani missiles are more advanced than which north korean ones? and which pakistani missiles are NOT copies of chinese ones?
just asking, no offence.
I Think this thread started out on the MoS of "SHIPPING" statement that a 3 STAR Indian General was responsible for terror attacks from where this thread has digressed.
Few points, ministry of Shipping must be super efficient to not only be able to do ITS OWN job but also that of the...
The PM of Pakistan only said what the PM of any self respcting nation would. And about the fight about money and getting paid. There may be some justification in expecting some return from Pakistan for the aid they are receiving because ultimately it is directly helpful to them too, but...
This has turned into a slugging match . By calling each other dogs or puppies, you really are achieving nothing other than showing your own upbringing. I think Abu Zoulfiqar is going on the right path by asking for explanations and logic. This thread would be much better if we stck to...
I absolutely agree. Having CFTs and Air to Air refuelling are two separate issues. Having a CFT means the plane has more flying time. In the case of CAP planes it could make a large difference. In a BVR environment, things are not so simple as in A4m of shooting and scooting, its a whole long...
Does any one know anything about the capabilities of the upgraded mig 21s, the Bisons? Or any update on which MMRCA is in the race for purchase by the IAF?
This is I think a classic example of how 'vested interests' use mass histeria to fuel personal interests. I am an Indian and I KNOW how the INDIAN govt agencies work. Its is unimaginable that an Indian agency like RAW can have ANY hand in targetting Indians on the scale claimed.
Well accept...
Wind jammer those are just terms, and by the way many countries use them and yes it is the ' in thing ' now in India to use international terms, thats all. Does not mean we mean to start a war, but does not mean we are not prepared either, but as far as those terms go , they are just that...
Come on guys, whaT IS GOING ON? First of all I am sure Mr Ramesh has been opportunistically misquoted by the media. Secondly if cows produce maximum methane more than all other emitters, then wouldnt eating them all be an ideal solution?????????
A for refrigerating meat producing emmissions...
Also without doubt, the Vice chief's quote would have been out of context considering today's media's technique of convinient editing. Further this statement would actually have been directed to the political leadership of India. A very bold step in itself. Unlike Pakistan, in India, the...
