There are conflicting reports. Emergency landing doesn't require Pilot ejection. But however Pilot ejection does point towards crash landing. Will have to wait for official confirmation. Good Day!

Please dont take it in a bad way. was just kidding. So please dont get offended. Abt desperation, don't really care abt this forum and what people think. Since I'm here to get educated and spread knowledge, my intention was to point out that technical snags occur irrespective of age. I'm from...

IAF's fighter plane MiG-21 makes emergency landing at Srinagar airport The Indian Air Force's MiG-21 crash-lands at Srinagar Airport. The pilot has been safely evacuated but the runway was damaged.. A MiG-21 fighter aircraft of the Indian Air Force made an emergency landing at Srinagar airport...

RIP

@PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy Might turn out to be a bit of controversy, but LCA now uses Elbit Targo HMDS and not DASH. Were you guys aware of this? However, I'd expect the Rafales to operate the same HMDS as Mirages, atleast for now. http://elbitsystems.com/product/targo/ Good Day!

1. China is a big military power. 2. China is a big economy. 3. China is not one of your flags, so makes no sense for you to blow your own trumpet. When Bangladesh have something to boast of,please come back again. :undecided: Till then let our chinese friends speak for their country. Good...

It's true, the milestone was achieved in little over 15 months against the actual plan of 24 months. We can expect this improvement to contribute to an early delivery from 2nd in class and hopefully last ship should be delivered very ahead of schedule. A very good job by MDL and IN as usual...

"The IL-112 has a maximum cruise speed of 550km/h to 580km/h. It can fly at an altitude of 9,000m. The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 20t and the maximum payload is 6t. The aircraft has a range of 1000 km with a payload of 6t and 5,000km with a payload of 2t." Source...

Looks Neat! Congradz to PN and Pakistan. Good Day all!

And some say J-20/31 are heavily influenced from F-35. Hope you get my point. :china: Good day!

The answer lies in the history of UAE air force. An air force with a small fleet and high number of foreign pilots in the past, happens to be one of the biggest air force in the middle-east after KSA and with an all national pilot force which even KSA can't boast of. In Middle-East, money makes...

I guess it's more to do with their lack of interest in involving us in engine R&D than our interest to collaborate with them for developing the engine. Russians helped us for many things over the past, however they never ever let us close to the engine tech. Not even the Chinese received any...

Sorry I didn't understand.

Sadly that's the price we pay for sleeping comfortably at night without worrying about an unexpected war. Even nukes are a defining factor in several major conflicts, otherwise US would have attacked Russia and India would have attacked Pakistan over small issues. But let's all hope we have...

So from our order of 272 - 6 (crashed) = 266 units, how many squadrons do we intend to raise? Without accounting for the much hyped follow-on of 40 additional jets. Also keep in mind, each Brahmos squadron is said to be 20 jets/squadron. @PARIKRAMA @Abingdonboy Good Day all!

A different perspective to it, When we flew Mig-21/27s our prospective opponent flew aircraft of similar capability. However this is no more the case, we cant expect to replace 10 squadrons of Mig-21 with 3 squadron MKI just because they give the same output. This is because while you induct 3...

The rafale fleet will have 18 units/squadron. Good Day!

Bro, you keep going to data from 2013. This is no more relevant. I once again urge you to go through Dassault data published from mid of this year. 2015-December 2016-July The current French backlog is for 34 jets. 2 more units will join the fleet this year and a further 1 unit in 2017...

These are a lot of big IFs. If Saudi is not happy with 154 F-15 SA, 86 F-15C, 72 Typhoon, 80 upgraded Tornado and the fuel prices picks up in a big way. There is even rumour that KSA has not exercised a repeat order of 72 more Typhoons seeking more clarity on the AESA plan. (F-15, Typhoon and...

Gripen is good for its price. A good option for all the countries that can't afford twin-engine jet's operational/acquisition costs. A good option for countries that needs a credible fighter but at a lower budget. A good option for a country with an indigenous single engine jet? A good option...
