Astra on the Su-30MKI

Just saw Sam(Sam Chui) walk us through the An-22 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Jogging memory lane. The IAF in the 80s specifically asked for a transporter that would work in SHAA. USSR re engined the An-26 with the mighty An-12 Engines(PAF operates a version of this bird to this day with an AEW...

In the beautiful city of Jodhpur. Maybe from "The Lions"

JIMEX 2020 starts off! The future F-35B capable Izumo class carrier the JS Kaga and JS Ikazuchi representing the Japanese Navy and interestingly the Sword Arm from the Indian Navy(INS Chennai, INS Tarkash and INS Deepak)

The Army also got a shot in the arm with the Rudra: M621Cannon on a Nexter turret and Belgian rockets and HeliNa missiles.

Recent statement by HAL is very revealing. ZERO Aircraft on ground (ALH Fleet) out of 15 in Ladakh! The per hour flying cost for the Dhruv is over ₹ 7L! This is where the LUH will be key.(Also explains why the Cheetals are still in production) It is also the VIP heptr for the Army

The IAF's CSAR helicopter, The Dhruv Mark-3 entered service in 2012, best in class Super Hi Alt performance. Replaces the simple Chetak. Equipped with the Saab IDAS EW system for self defence. Can carry 2 Stretchers(Su-30MKI occupants for ex) for evac. The Elbit CoMPASS and a superb cockpit for...

ಓಮ್ ಶಾಂತಿ. Kannadigas especially will miss him for ever.

Another one! He is the Su-30MKI with the SAP-518 SPJ pods over Ladakh! @Unknowncommando HAL TP Grp Capt. HV Thakur on the same:

Very sad news coming today of the passing of Dr. Sekhar Basu, Padma Shri. He was the ex chairman of Atomic Energy Commission and played a key role in the miniaturized PWR serving on board the ATVs. Om Shanti.

The order was placed with Rafael in 2017. First triallied in 2012

First ever shot of the Mirage-2000I with a full complement of MICAs!

Those Rafale pictures are great but my favourite ones are still the ones with the Pyramids in the background.:P The Refueller question is a tough one. My solution would be a KC-390 with a possible Boom. Ideal solution (which even the IAF wants) is the A330 MRTT.

The Russian/Chinese missiles on the F-16 would be very difficult. The MICA on the other hand should be more or less plug and play(especially the IR). The problem could be through the End User Monitoring Agreements if such a thing were to happen IMO. If bipartisan support exists(I am certain it...

The Jaguar introduced some scary weapons into service, one of them was the BAP 100 was even qualified on the MiG-23BN and the BL-755 Cluster bomb Devastating in Anti Personnel roles: Although replaced by the CBU 105 now

Rafale over Ladakh! The journo also captures the first armed fighter we have seen so far up there? The Mirage-2000I with two MICA missiles and 3 bags. For ORP duties, the Mirage 2000I would be armed similar to below: I would like to see the Jaguars there as well preferably with the overwing...

Also serving on Tejas And on the(now retired) MiG-27 UPG Although I think this is an upgraded model.

Explains Why Egypt is investing in her security so robustly.
