Donald Douglas is laughing in the after life. The 70 year mission to destroy Boeing couldn't have been more successful. The merger of McDonnell Douglas with Boeing allowed MD executives to infiltrate Boeing at the highest levels. They bought with them the same philosophy which had ruined MD...

Safety is a meme because lives are cheap.

That's how you get a third world military with a first world budget.

If the PRIME MINISTER also has to TRY to make a force he commands to do something, we are indeed a 🍌 republic.

My views about IAFs competence are well known. I have alway hated how Indian armed forces always try to cover paucity of basic equipment and lack of knowledge of modern tactics with "hamaare jaanbaaz jawan chadh Gaye tiger hill par" Notice how this fiction is always parroted by the middle and...

Uh yes? He has had plenty of time, money and political mandate to replace it?

Remember, these same samosa PSUs are claiming they will build a stealth platform (which have very, very tight tolerances)

Next week: Crowing from IAF jernails how Mig-21 is beshtest fighter in bhorld.

Some sources say 9 dead. Two U.S. Army Helicopters Crash in Kentucky, Fatalities Expected

How can respect for human life exist in a billion plus population? Look at our road accident stats. We are China with a Gucci belt in the safety department.

Inb4 air chief making cringy comments about how cheetah is a totally awesome aircraft

I don't agree. Helicopters in general are crash happy. It has been less than a month since the last US Blackhawk (Tennessee ANG) crash, 2 dead. I would go on to say the Dhruv is very well designed because I have often heard of people surviving the Dhruv crashes. It's a testament of design and...

Two Italian Air Force Pilots Killed In Mid-Air Collision Between Two U-208M Aircraft

The amount of hours they put on these is insane. The E4B NIGHTWATCH nuclear command post planes for example are airborne almost constantly and were built in 1974! The VC-25 presidential 747s that came long after and have far fewer hours are already being replaced, but there are no plans to...

Sorry bro, ending this right here.

I am still right. Why was the army not aware by other means an IAF aircraft was airborne in their AOR?

A skirmish they 1000% knew was going to happen, knew the place at which it was going to happen, knew the direction from which the enemy was going to approach. Yes, this level of incompetence is very hard to ignore.

Why was the IFF transponder switched off in a combat situation in the first place?

IAF jernails will get mixed results despite having clear superiority and then will say shit like "if only we had xyz wunderwaffen we would have mogged the enemy." What kind of statement is that? You train to fight with what you have, not with what you will. I seriously hope that is not part of...

The largest and second largest air forces in the world do tons of simulation training and find it perfectly acceptable. The F117 simulator built by Lockheed back in the 1980s was rated as 'extremely realistic' by pilots. Imagine how realistic technology is today.
