An eclipse only lasts a few hours. They could have just switched off their feed and turned it on after it was over. What you are saying is an extraordinary event of satellite battery failure which normally does not take place, but which is taking place when the situation was tense and many...

A satellite has more chance of the fuel running out first before its battery meets its calendar end. No one is stupid enough to send such a low life time battery into space. 99% of LEO satellies(recon satellites are LEO satellites because they need to be as close to the earth as possible to get...

You guys didn't get the sarcasm. He is saying that's the poor excuse they gave and backed out from helping us. Satellite's batteries don't drain out, they are recharged by their solar panels. A life of a satellite is measured by the fuel it carries for the regular orbital correction it has to do...

^Vayusena is Indian source. They might not accept that. While making comparisons for these 2 fighters, Post a non-Indian, non-Pakistani, non Russian, non-U.S sources for objectivity, like I have and other people have posted before like the Israeli, German and the Bulgarian Airforce assesments...

K has 18000kgs of maximum afterburner thrust. It also has a super afterburner thrust of 20000kgs which it mainly uses while taking off from the ramp with an AG load. yes, the UPG has a 16600kgs of afterburner thrust and 17400kgs of super afterburner thrust. You still dont get it do you. The...

That white wash tells the professionalism of the military in question. See the number of whites in the IAF history. This is what happens when you have a military which is not under a civilian leader or under ANY checks or balances. In pakistan when the military lies, there is no one to catch...

Lol.. yea right.. A mid air collision with an enemy aircraft during a war in the 90’s where the entire air was irradiated with radar. You astound me… Coalition Fixed-Wing Attrition in Desert Storm You do are aware that the same goes the other way around, don’t you. The Iraqis have claimed a...

^Why are you proving the other guy's point? From your own link: Modular Mission Computer This computer consists of line-replaceable modules (LRMs) based upon several MIPSCO R3000 32-bit RISC microprocessors That is not a 20 year old... that's a 25 year old processor! It came out in 1988. So...

Topsight-l HMDS.. from French Thales. Along with R-73 latest versions vs Aim-9M older version and the ITR advantage. Nah, its not faily tale, its the part of the story you censored. All you are blabbering about is equivalent to what's going on in Stromfront where they sprout, poor hitler...

As for the MiG-35, it will be more than a match for the Eurofighter or the Rafale in Dogfights given the fact that it will have a tremendous ITR brought on by the Thurst vectoring engines, low wing loading compounded by the fuselage-lift design which provides 40% of the lift.

Actually we can take it the other way around. The Teen series can only fight against the MiG-29 if a required set of pre-conditions are true. 1# The opponent is a third world country, has all his EWR assets and most of this Airfield assets taken out by cruise missiles at the start of the war...

We have to assume that the reason why the IAF still stocks itself with as much R-27 as it does with R-77 because the Chinese have compromised R-77s operating frequency range to the Pakistanis(R-27s hit probability depends more on the plane's radar and i doubt the Chinese have access to BARS or...

Russian AESA is still in testing, we could go for it but we have to shoulder the headache of running back to the manufacturer to solve the teething problems which are common in this stage. IAF and the IN went for the safer option of Zhuk-ME. As for mirage's radar being advanced, it better be...

Yes, in theory IAF can extend the life of Bisons beyond even 2050 if they fly for 10 hours a year. That's not the point. The point is Mirage-2000 has a lot of life left, while the MiG-29 doesn't. MiG-29 will not fly often and take part in training, while the Mirage very well can. If they fly the...

Upgradation of Fighter Aircraft Contracts have been signed with M/s Thales, France, along with M/s Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for upgrade of the Mirage 2000 aircraft of the Indian Air Force, with M/s HAL for upgrade of the Jaguar aircraft and with M/s RAC-MiG Russia for upgrade of the...

Yes, ofcourse it will. MiG-29s Airframe will be upgraded to 3500hours, compared to the 2500 hours now. 1000 hours more.

"As per the proposal, French firms Dassault and Thales will upgrade the aircraft, which will add 20-25 years to the life of the Mirages, inducted by the IAF in the mid-80s." http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-03-07/india/31131684_1_mirage-fleet-mission-computers-mirage-aircraft...

Although the MiG-29B/UB/S/SE/SD/SM/SMT and the Su-27/30/33 series has such low airframe hours keeping in mind the soviet doctrine, the new unified family of MiG-29K/KUB/M/M2 and the Su-35S designed with changed geo-political realities is a completely different beast with 5000 hours Airframe...

Mirage-2000 will be around for 25 years more. MiG-29 only 15. But if you take the amount of time the Fulcrum spends in the air, and use that same time to the Mirage-2000, it could touch even 30 years.

The link only says MiG-29k. No UPG. I have never come across any link for Samtel HMDS for UPG, but plenty of links for Thales, and Sch-3um-1. All this confusion will be solved soon when pics of pilots with their helmets are released soon. Mirage-2000's Airframe life is 5000 hours compared to...
