Aiyain----Baain----Shaain-----keep on trying---.
* This kind of nonsense does not suit a former TT.
Whomsoever gave the example of USS stark and cole---that was a bad example---.
* yes it was out of context
DBC gave a good example of explosion on an ACC------.
* to a good extent..
First of all--we need to see how far the JF17 would have to fly to get to the target---then we have to assess what assets the opponent has in the air to keep an eye on the jf17 and from what distance----thirdly what air superiority fighters does the opponent have to confront the jf17's and at what distance----fourthly----knowing that the jf17's are based on a certain base----would the opponent had taken out the base including its assets before they were launched----.
* Assuming the ACC is in the vicinity of Arabian Ocean, i am talking in the light of a multitier attack which is not limited to fighter aircrafts alone but also include AshMs from various positions/ frigates, Submarines, even land based assets. In this kind of hypothetical attack, a massive force from air comprising of C-80x series, Exocets, Harpoons, for radar hunt, MAR-1s, for air to air combat, SD-10, Aim 120s, WVRs), from subs, Exocet, harpoon, C80x, torpedoes, and from land babur, C602, possibly C-80x series might be used. To add to their confusion, SRBMs with conventional warheads can be used as to create more panic, not necessarily to hit the ACC. The key word here is to inflict a massive thrust of incoming threats from various directions. No matter how fast their SAMS, how proficient their aircrafts, radars and jammers are, they will still sustain damage.
We need a higher standard of postings by the TT members---it would have been better to discuss the positioning of acc battle groupd, deployment and launching of your assets and how they will get there using what resources----how many missiles will be launched and how many will get throug and what kind of sensors the missiles have that they can capture just the acc----.
* Those who set parameters for selection know better than you and me what they are doing. You do not have to worry about this.
I am not talking about single missile scenario----you guys were talking about it----I talked about maybe from 25---50 missiles being launched at the battle group----how would that happen and under what conditions----.
Please don't try to impress by telling us about your attending defence conferences---tell us how it will be done----. Right now the concensus is that the aircraft carrier cannot be targeted just by conventional missiles----.
* MK, it would be better for you not to discuss things you have no knowledge about.
You ought to have a large number of air assets just to get close-----and be able to suffer major losses just to take out the surface fleet---please discuss in form of real battle scenario. Thank you.
* Yes any strike force will suffer major losses, no argument in this. Hitting the battle group is no joke and IF ever happened, the US will take it as a blow to their pride and will unleash their might. I will say it again, it is very difficult but not impossible.
