Night time ops from the Guardian!
And the MiG-29UPG take off with full AB on the RD-33

Although combat ops are the most glamorous, combat support is equally important, here we see the backbone of the Rotary and Fixed wing fleets.

Boeing has completed the delivery of 22 contracted Guardian Helicopters to the IAF.
IAF got the last of the Heavy Lift CH-47F in March as well.

Where do you get that information bro ?

None of them are true. No way South Korea will give technology from KFX/IFX into India.

I believe it is just a rumour.
India has a Crawl Walk Run strategy for such projects.
Crawl is the Tejas, Walk is the MWF and Run is the AMCA
(Same was successfully implemented for the Strategic missiles from IGMDP to the ASAT weapons/K series/PAD/AAD)

India should realize now that their true enemy is China and not Pakistan. Pakistan is 1/5 in size, population and in economy compare to India but we have more corruption.

Don't think anyone post 1962 had any doubts. For Air Force especially, if you have followed almost all major multilateral exercises it was the Eastern Air Command that had it's personnel there for training/observation.

1/7th the size, 1/10th the economy. India has added 3 Pakistans to its economy in the last 30 years..

ONE TENTH

India $3trillion GDP approx = 1.4 billion people = $530 billion forex = $60 billion defense budget
pakistan $300 billion approx = 220 million people = $15 billion forex = $10 billion defense budget

The DISPARITY is MASSIVE and Glaring

" How LONG can pakistan sustain a full scale war along the entire border on mountains deserts marshs and at sea"

7 - 10 days pakistan
20 days for india ( only because our resources are so much deeper)

Give what technology? they themselves are using Elta for their AESA radar as a "consultant" and nearly all the weapons (which are hung outside the weapons bay BTW) are of Western origin.

Finally a clear image of the DARIN 3 Jaguar!

Nice shot!

What many people still won't realise is that this is the IAF's FIRST AESA radar equipped fighter. Not the Rafale, which hasn't yet entered service. The Elta 2052 AESA radar will give a big jump in ground attack and also self defence capabilities of the Jaguar.

It's a small sized array, but will give decent range in ground targeting, ranging, SAR, Inverse SAR (especially useful for the use of the Harpoon AShM), GMTI, GMTT, etc. Plus with 2 ASRAAMs, a Jaguar will be able to defend itself out to ~30-40 km.
