Did you think anything differently would have happened. Lockheed Martin must be kicking themselves over losing Pakistan to try to for India..

Not a fair comparison, they can sell to both countries(They have never mentioned that they will not sell to Pak). In India Boeing is the bigger player but Lockheed did just win the MH-60R order a few months back and have supplied Super Hercules aircraft as well.

Nothing stops Pakistan from approaching LM for more F-16Vs. Except for cold hard cash, which it doesn't have.

One of the best images of Baaz fighters in the IAF. 2 MiG-29UPGs at the merge during Air Combat Training.

Given their closing speeds, those 2 were literally a fraction of a second away from each other before pulling away into steep turns.

Looks and sounds like stupid tactics to fly like that so close to each other ... what were they trying to prove?

Ever heard of something called a "merge" during Air Combat Training?
