You keep assuming that I make my conclusions by for eg, looking at a mirage III then saying "oh we're ok".
I know when I say that by knowing what we have now, what you have now and by what you will have in ten years and what we will have in ten years.
I know that India will induct a UCAV in 5 to 6 years. So I also know that we have tested our own system to counter it. An amicable discussion is one in which you compare capabilities based on known knowns and known unknowns.
Using FAS, wikipedia, global security to compare systems is baseless.
I wanted an accurate opinion on the F-16 vs a Rafale for a simulation. I went to f-16.net since in my opinion wikipedia is 80% bull.
there I spoke to a user named gums who has flown the F-16 and various other aircraft for 35 years. At the same time I read the review on the Rafale by aviation week done 5 years ago.
So i had some idea how the jets flew. then I spoke to johnwill at f-16.net who was a design engineer on the F-16 in general dynamics.
So I knew its design limitations.Then i read up on the Mica,the amraam and the sidewinder.
only then could I reach the conclusion that a theoretical loss ratio of 2.5:1 can be computed for the f-16 vs the rafale.
What exactly is the CEP for the Agni? Is it Mirved?, Is the arihant a true SLBM or a frankestien. Is the ghauri just the no-dong missile or more?. does the prithvi reach 350 km with a full load or carrying a peanut?Does the abdali do the same? can it evade an Abm like the patriot?
you just claimed Indian missilies are canisterized..is that even an advantage, not to mention its been done in pakistan too. how good is that? what is the Akash's range for active radar acquire? what is the PK at max range? what is the pk for H-4 at max range?
Did you take all of these into account with relevant data?
My data on Indian systems is gleaned from what I hear from people at multiple forums, defense analysts, people in the military(ours and foriegn). But to expect one to present you a cv is stupid.
try asking Pshamim for his.
Im just an engineering working in research and all I put here is what I come across from senior members in our R&D and military whom I am fortunate enough to meet.
Maybe they are bluffing, but I seriously doubt that.
