True.
However, i've heard quite alot of stories of these 'skirmishes' between good pilots and their instructors over petty issues. I know a pilot who was sidelined because he took a shot of the sqn flt cmdr during a 2v2. He was roasted because he took a shot of a senior sqn ldr as a flg...
Yes, the numbers are definitely in decline. We have learned our lessons. The routine of a GdP is not well suited for a woman in our culture. Requires long hours, over night duties. It is essentially how we prepare them for war like situation every day. We cannot necessarily adjust the roaster to...
Losing a fighter rating is never a step up. Even if you get C-130's which is the most favorite in combat support role.
She's currently doing a captain course at Y-12. Very soon she will command an aircraft of her own. Also, aircraft like Y-12, C-130 open doors for pilots to airlines due to 4...
The only twp nonsensical notions in military aviation recorded in recent years were
i) Mig 21 shooting down F-6 and 2) Mirage pilots counting 300 bodies from air and then FO denying it.
Hassan is definitely irrelevant here. But Abhindadan is not. He is currently the most disgraceful...

Right - Burnt Data link antenna. It is located near the nozzle of the missile
No my friend.
The only guilty parties are Abhinandan and IAF.
Not even an OUNCE of proof, internationally humiliated, humiliated domestically as well...
Here you go. This is the proof.
Apart from the detonated missile which itself is hard evidence, look at their faces. What do they tell you? A look of despair, embarrassment, and fear. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to read between the lines.
I must admit i do miss windy sometimes...
Integrity, honesty, and discipline are said to be the cornerstones of all armed forces out there. At least, they all try to live upto it. If you read my opening remarks, I have connected this incident and its rectification with Indian Air force for a reason.
IDF pilot caught red-handed...
Speaking of Indradhanush, after some beating to New Delhi by UK MoD, IAF was put to sleep. Since then, Indradhanush has ben reduced to CAGE ops with RAF refusing to entertain IAF's vital front line assets.
Air Force backs down on Indo-UK exercise 'claims'; says no wins and losses

This incident took place at Nellis during red flag 16-4. The same exercise Pakistan took part in as 'Escorts' just like IDFAF. Yet you'd never hear any 'leak' about what PAF did or didnt do. Let alone, claiming false kills in trainings (IDFAF) and actual combat (IAF) :D
What happens in professional air forces when you 'lie' about your kill.
No wonder brits were pissed with IAF for leaking misinformation about flankers eating typhoons during exercises in UK. Since then, they never got an invitation back.
