Propaganda backfired, india should employ better propagandists

 

[gangsta_rap]

Indians and Russians - each are accustomed to lying. Unfortunate.

This is so true. I don't know why certain folks here see Russia as the good guy in the picture. There are no good guys.

unfortunately for the indians, they are too mentally retarded to stick to one lie and keep changing the story to the extent where their entire existence becomes irrelevant.

 

[HalfMoon]

Funny how Indian plans backfire.

"Wow! FIRST TIME in the world — Mig-21 shoots down an F-16! Great job Indian Air Force!" Air Vice Marshal Manmohan Bahadur tweeted, adding "Someone just asked me — if a MiG-21 has shot down an F-16, what happens to their bid for the IAF mega 114 fighter contract?"

"Indian Mig-21 not just brought down the PAF's F-16, it was a surgical strike on Lockheed Martin and Tata Advanced Systems. They should forget any future deal with the Indian Air Force,"

Russia trolling India and US.

Should bow your head down that a belligerent country was given a lesson on humbleness ...

It was not only the technology transfer of blk-70 to India, but also technology transfer of nuclear weapons and missile systems, which was on table, and F-16 was very much in the deal.

I think Modi party was pushing for Rafael, while congress was inclined towards generous American offer.

This would certainly complicate India's MMRCA acquisition even further. It's a catch 9 situation for India's Airforce.

I feel sorry for the IAF, India politicians want to link fighter jet acquisition with commercial investment, which has made this deal so complicated from beginning, while IAF is lurking in middle.

Indians are chest thumping over a blatant lie told by the IAF, I think Indians will soon start worshipping Wing Commander Abhinandan instead of Cow Mata.

How can earth 2/2.5 gen interceptor can down modern 4.5 gen jet, if it is highly upgraded with Israeli avionics and radar its air-frame has its own limitations, you can't fit any modern radar that could detect 150-200 km in such small dia of radome of Mig-21

 

[PakGuns]

So it is better for India to take 9 squadrons of Mig 21s to decimate Chinese and Pakistani airforce in one go.

Well according to them JF-17 is an upgraded Mig-21 . So why not go for it.. I think we have a chance there
