Which is the most Aesthetic or the most stunningly eye-catchy 4th Gen Fighter plane in your opinion? Could be fighter-bombers, Multirole, or pure fighters, or anything inbetween, but they have to be a fighter plane, and only from the 4th, 4.5, 4.5+ & 4.5++ Generation only!! You could accompany...

Yup, we do. hmmmm... Looks like even Reaper drone is used in Pakistan.

You're right. That is a reaper. But the ground radar classifies it as a Predator. It also wrongly classifies baseline Su-30MK as SU-30SM(which is actually Su-30MKI). Dumb Radar! A Reaper drone costs more than a baseline Su-30! Maybe that's why they used a Reaper as an enemy.

You could see the rough IR image of the Predator on the HMD. I think the pilot used the IRST to launch the missile, so as not to scare it away back to its airspace if he used the radar! Too cool! :smitten:

Mock up of viggen? whatever! So pilli, what is the offbore sight angle of Pili? Any idea? I think none of the missiles in the subcontinent has 90 degree offboresight. Only ASRAAM, RVV-MD and Aim-9X has 90 degrees. So the bulk of the turning has to be done by the aircraft using maximum thrust...

Cool video! I have a feeling our Pakistani friends would especially like this one.

Never knew the forum was that touchy when certain fighters are written in a single line. I wrote that because the site in question was comparing the 2 and hence.... OK, lemme re-phrase that. *sigh* Forgetting powerful radar's and BVR missiles for a second... I once read in a certain* site...

Forgetting powerful radar's and BVR missiles for a second... I once read in a pak site that Tejas would fair poorly in a close combat scenario because its delta wings will bleed more energy(drag or slow down) with each turn, while the JF-17 having a conventional wing will not bleed as much...

You are wrong. They have their junk fighter 17, the most potent chinese junk in the entire world.

Human large-intestine is filled with $hit. When rafale shoots its 30mm, and if it hits the intestine, then it will splatter intestinal $hit all over the place. So rafale wins!

Old article written by Harry, most known for his articles in ACIG. Yea, he died a few years back. Some specs in that article needs to be updated, one which caught my eye was the empty weight. LCA has gotten fatter by over a tonne! Still lighter than JF-17 by a few kilos, but still has an anemic...

Indian Journalists have started to dump their garbage opinions. They have started calling Mirage-2000 new flying coffins. Chindits: Mirages Becoming The New Flying Coffins!! Second Crash Within A Fortnight Now only thing required is for Bollywood to pick it up and we'll have dumbos everywhere.

? Even MiG-21 fighters were grounded when they crashed. It is routine procedure. Grounding is temporary until the cause of the crash is known. Also they don't not affect emergency sorties. Emergency sorties override grounding procedures.

Hmm.... Looks like 10 Mirage-2000 have crashed since its induction. 49 Mirages acquired in the 1980's + 10 Mirages in 2007 = 59 total Currently only 51 was present for the upgrade. So 8 crashed. But the new crash today & a few days before makes the total crashes to 10. The best aircraft to...

Although I have highlighted certain paragraphs of that article, it is advisable to read the entire thing. What I find funny is that MiG-21's crashes are mentioned, but its sortie rate isn't. That's what you get from stupid Indian media. Another funny aspect here is that, some people who are...

My Fair Lady Author: Air Chief Marshal A.Y. Tipnis (Retd) How many Indians are likely to be aware that the aviation world is intensely focused this year on celebrating the centenary of the first flight of man in a powered heavier-than-air machine? I would not like to hazard a guess; the most...

Couple of errors in this thread. This is not the first Mirage-2000 crash. It is the 4th(or the 5th) crash. The news report says it was engine malfunction, not stunts. The 2011 MiG-29 crash happened not due to engine failure. It was pilot error. It was a night mission and the pilot made a hard...

WTF is with this obsession with American $hit. After all that has happened a decade ago(sea kings, Harriers, Tejas etc etc) still their crap are mentioned like nothing ever happened. After all that is happening just next door to a country now, U.S poop is mentioned like nothing ever happened...

lol.. we need a Eurofighter whine thread at this rate. Too many whines everyday from the brits. Eurofighter is not coming to India! Rafale has just opened a new Indian site and categorically stated- Cooperation & independance The RAFALE program is entirely driven and fully mastered by one...
