We could have inflicted heavy damage on Pakistan during aerial raid if we had 'tech asymmetry': IAF

Somebody should help them to overcome theior grief?? Time to move on dear india

I'll leave an interesting quote: "This country, India, is the most cowardly on earth. Otherwise, how was it possible to make such a vast country a slave for hundreds of years? And to small races like the English - not even equal to a province! Five hundred million people being enslaved by thirty million people looks illogical. But whosoever came - Huns, Moghuls, Turks, the English - whosoever came, India was always ready to be a slave. Why so much cowardice?" -- Osho

Divide & rule policy at its best!!! As for the Hindus, it was the change of masters. As for the Hakiki Muslims, it was loss of the Empire....

They were talking about two fronts war. . Super power caught with pants down on 27 February .

BS Dhanoa needs to ride starship enterprise to gain the level of asymmetry his force is craving for.

Pakistan could have inflicted much more damage on India if we had B52, B2 and F22. This is pure BS of modern air warfare coming from IAF.

 

[TsAr]

If we had that.....we could have done that....if but and blahh blahh....IAF needs to shut up and rethink and strategize...rest assure they are going to comeback, we need to prepare ourselves. This is not the time to let our guard down.

Indian air force craves for their ancient vimana spaceships to meet "technological asymmetry".

NEW DELHI: If the Indian Air Force possessed high levels of "technological asymmetry", then it would have been able to inflict heavy damage on Pakistan during its unsuccessful aerial raid on February 27, according to an IAF report.

The report analysed various aspects of IAF's air strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorist training camp in Pakistan's Balakot on February 26 and the subsequent Pakistani retaliation the next day.

India carried out the air strike to avenge the Pulwama attack in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed.

In the report, the IAF said Pakistan Air Force has been consistently enhancing its air defence and offensive capabilities since the Kargil war in 1999 and there was a need for India to bolster its "technological asymmetry" for aerial combat, official sources said sharing details from the report.

At present, Pakistan has some edge with its fleet of F-16 jets with AMRAAM missile fitted with them, said an official.

The sources said the planned induction of Rafale aircraft with deadly Meteor beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) and S-400 air defence missile system will provide India a significant advantage over Pakistani Air Force.


"We felt we could not punish the adversaries appropriately. So we need to bolster technological asymmetry so that the enemy does not even dare to come close to the border," said a source.

On the Balakot strikes, the report said the Israeli Spice 2000 precision guided munitions (PGM) fired from Mirage 2000 jets hit five out of the six designated targets in the JeM training facility. However, one Spice PGM did not leave the aircraft because of a drift in the inertial navigation system.

The report said the deception used was successful as Pakistan was caught off guard despite their air force being put on highest alert.
Various packages of jets flew in several directions including a fleet of Jaguars went towards Bahawalpur, a key air base of Pakistan Air Force, sources said.

In the list of possitives from the strike, the IAF talked about accuracy of intelligence inputs, precise selection of targets, demonstration of its ability to carry out precision strikes and its success in maintaining secrecy of the operation though over 6,000 personnel were involved in it.

In its analysis of possible areas for improvement, the IAF sought superior technological asymmetry and air defence system over Pakistan, sources said.

It also talked about the need for procuring new weapons and other platforms for enhancing the IAF's overall combat capabilities.

Induction of Rafale jets along with Meteor beyond-visual-range missile and S-400 air defence missile system will provide India an edge over Pakistan, according to the report.

India is procuring a batch of S-400 air defence system from Russia at a cost of USD 5 billion. India is also buying 36 Rafale fighter jets from France at a cost of Rs 58,000 crore.

During the aerial combat of February 27, IAF pilot Abhinandan Varthaman had engaged with one of the Pakistani F-16s and shot it down before his Mig-21 Bison was downed.

Varthaman was captured by Pakistan and was released after spending nearly 60 hours in Pakistani custody.

The Indian Air Force had on February 28 displayed pieces of an AMRAAM missile, fired by a Pakistani F-16, as evidence to prove that Pakistan deployed the US-manufactured fighter jets during the raid.

R77, MKI, Mirage?

R77 and Mica missile are all junk.

 

[TAC]

Pathetic IAF should die of shame after this admission. Access to all the money they can spend and every hi tech supplier falling over themselves to sell to them and these clowns get their *** kicked by a force a fraction of the size, with little money to spend and precious few willing to sell to them. No amount of Rafale's will make warriors of these cowards.

they used israeli tech when they should have used vedic tech!

 

[Khanivore]

R77 and Mica missile are all junk.

They also have Israeli Python 4, Python 5 and Derby. According to IAF, these too did not meet "superior technological asymmetry."

 

[maximuswarrior]

More blah blah blah by humiliated Indians.

 

[xyxmt]

we could have flown had our farts had the power of jet engine...coulda, woulda shoulda

IAF: mujhay kioun nikala !

I love my indians neighbors’ reaction since the 27th February. So ashamed that they run away whenever they saw us.

 

[SABRE]

Read between the lines: IAF wants more Rafale & they are creating urgency for them by raising 26th/27th Feb defeat. Modi was unable to buy any more, especially during the election year as Rafale has been a controversial subject, and instead had to resort to buying MiG-29s. The 26/27 Feb argument will also ensure that if Congress wins they are unable to alter the contract with France due to it being an urgent requirement for IAF. Otherwise, it might take a year or two to renegotiate.
