Kaise ho jammer bhaiyye kaisee katt rahee hai
1. MKI carries 12 BVRs and still can fire them in 6 tandem pair like 1 active guided mode and 1 in passive guided mode with lock on before or after launch capability at six different targets at a range of 125Km (max range of its prime LR-BVRs) plus it also has a so called AWACS Killer BVR with 400KM/780Kg/50Kg HE fregmentation warhead with range (it can carry 4 of those in a single sortie)
Do you have any idea in a real fight how much time a pilot has to react and engage ... do you have any idea what is effective range of a BVR combat ??? Do you have any idea how difficult is to engage two fighter aircraft simultaneously ... Real word is entirely different then dog fight of Top gun movie ... You must read accounts of pilots real life fights ... fighter aircraft coming towards each other at Mach 1.5 plus has almost 30 seconds in having radar blink and crossing each other ... Do you have any idea that how much drag will these 12 BVR missiles carry and how much they will enhance the RCS of MKI which is already much bigger for a fighter aircraft ... Carrying 12 BVR is good against some inferrior force but where the other force has equally powerful radars, AWACS, data fusion from gournd radars and equally powerful BVR missiles then carrying 12 BVR is a burden rather than benefit ... Have you consider that due to hue RCS if F16s and Thunders have a first blink and loose there BVR first then MKI can be in deep trouble ...
These are air fights now heavy weight lifting championship where guy capable of carrying more weight will win the title ...
MKI RCS is its biggest dis advantage ... if thats not the case then India would have never gone to Rafael ...
2. india has now achved 65% readyness level on MKI and we have 270 of them meaning 175 always ready meaning total ammount of fighters in PAF now what about upgraded M2K & Fulkrums & Jaguars even if you dont bring potential threat posted by rafales or FGFA in future @Windjammer
Brother Pakistan covered area is also much lesser ... Pakistan air doctrine is revolving around defense of air space whereas attack Indian post near border using PGM and for deep strike cruise missiles are built ... India's doctrine is to get air superiority thats why they need quantitative as well qulitative security ... However, uptill now Pakistan has countered each and everything quite successfully ... With Link 17 , aerial refuelers and AWACS Pakistan can effectively engaged much larger Indian Air Force whereas India needs much higher number of planes due to 5 time bigger area to defend ...
So what ??? We are practicing against SU30 in China ... We are even flying Mirrages in UAE ... Infact while concieving JF17 special attention was given that it can counter MKIs ...3. last but not the least we are parctising against F16 Blk50/52 of singapore airforce which are stationed in india for over a decade now and getting all inputs from insraeli & merican experts as our pilots keep making trips to israel & USA for the same so you think your 18-40 bugged and obsolete F16s would really sacre us jammer bhiyye think again
Baki ki story k ly I am waiting for windy bhaiya to tell us the story of recent encounter between MKI and Thunder @Windjammer
