the point is not to keep everyone happy. how the f*** is that even an issue? we need to look at what's the best for our needs. sucking russia's dick wont make it protect us if pakistan and china decide to attack .
besides , i cant imagine an mi-26 being used for rapid deployment on the...
Vietnam will make a loyal ally in the future. It seems to be a country that will have FRIENDS rather than interests. hope we can sieze the opportunity.
I happen to know a lot off bangladeshis. Still got a good deal of family that side. My ancestors generally escaped from religious persecution in '47 . But the bangladeshis are pleasant people in general. While there is a lot of misunderstanding on both sides, but i've known a LOT of...
this is probably true. Thing is, we dont risk our more expensive jets by giving them to rookies. The mig-21 is probably the hardest jet to fly in our inventory, and it does indeed take great skill to operate. we urgently need those trainers !!!
guys, here's the trade register for indo-israel arms sales 2007-2010......
proves that elta el/m-2052 is indeed the radar on the lca

Transfers of major conventional weapons: sorted by supplier. Deals with...
Strategically speaking, that IS what common sense would dictate. You guys have attacked us over and over again, while we havent yet tried to retake Pak occupied kashmir. You send jihadis into our territory. You dont let US go over and clean them ragheads up, and you dont do it by yourself. YOu...
Apparently, India took delivery of some elta el/m-2052 aesa radars in 2009 for the lca. This would mean that we already have AESA tech on our hands. DOes anyone have any intel on the detection range for the aforementioned equipment?
That's just irrelevant man. The helo was stealth. Besides, if they shoot down american hardware, poof !-goes all the military aid. Don't take the bait :D
Unlikely, considering the fact that you guys didn't have any significant BVR capabilities before 2010, and would probably have been detected before being in range for a missile lock , if indeed what you say is true. But then again, i dont think the iaf would actually cross the border in 2009...
Sorry to deviate, but, what's the maximum flight speed achieved on the tejas with the f404 engines? By how much is it expected to go up after the GE F414 gets installed?
Realistically speaking, what role would the iaf use it in ? and How does it compare to the Jf-17 And f-16 blk52 used by...
A good call. The MKI's serve no purpose being flying show pieces down south. Its just as well , that the IAF gains experience, operating and maintaining the bird in a much likelier environment for combat. We should be flying them on BARCAP almost along the border, as a sort of deterrent against...
