How about “Indian tow truck union plan mass protest over underdelivery of Tejas.”.

As I’ve stated in another thread, no amount of smearing can change ground reality.

First rumor of Myanmar JF-17 being grounded also started on January of this year.

They are older airframes. Many of the PGs are produced post 2000.

Indeed, it is compared directly with the F-16 and the comparison is favorable. One of my concerns about the J-10C with WS-10 is that additional weight of upgraded radar/avionics and other bells and whistles may cause degradation in flight performance. Looks like that is unfounded.

Looks like first impression with WS-10B engine is a positive one.

Let the Twitter Wars begin!

Frontally, maybe, but with external load and at different angles it’ll no doubt be easier to pick up.

J-10C has already used the near BVR in exercises against Sino-Flankers. Basically use LPI mode on radar to gauge general location of enemy aircraft without detection and then cue with IRST and fire missile without opponent noticing. It is not invincible though. Once the flanker pilots got...

This article conclusively answers the seeming conundrum of J-20 pilots stating that their aircraft is easy to fly but hard to master. Like the J-10C, the J-20 is easy to handle/maneuver but since the plane generates so much information, mastering how to best operate the plane in combat situation...

If JF-17 is junk then Tejas must be worse than junk :D. Zero chance of being chosen. Ouch...

Thank you to PM Modi for helping recognize and defend the Chinese claim over disputed territory. The whole meltdown reminded me of an interview with General Jin Yinan in 2020 where he leaked what happened before anyone else from the Chinese military. In his words India was heavily traumatized...

They will complement one another.

The IAF’s numbers will shrink as well as they retire the Bisons and legacy fourth gen like Mirages. I don’t think numbers are a big concern.

You don’t need to replace legacy fighters at a one to one basis.

Wingloong 2 confirmed to be present in Morocco.

The PL-5 in question are training rounds. I’ve read that due to some quirk of aerodynamics the JF-17 flies better with wingtip armaments than without. Every time you hook a live round to the aircraft it expends the lifespan of the missile.
