    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Well they can arrange bases as well if they want too. They don't really require tankers. I was talking about air to air combat. We havent seen any such where MKI is directly involved. Russians are skeptical mostly about India and Chinese market. Who can pay them better.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    They want money that's why and India is world's cash cow. And upgrades are classified so we can't say how each upgrade would cost.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Finland, Sweden they are good , they also have good technology MKI' first aerial combat was only recently so no one knows what they are capable to and more over these people could have tested it on 27th but badluck. Only if we get them on time. It will take years to be perfectionist with a...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    As far as things being discussed here it only points towards , permission to fire missile. IAF was slow in getting permission or they were up there thinking they will not have to use their ammo.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    So basically the ROE was not to engage unless until they are inside our airspace and this prevented MKIs to fire their missiles.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Sir, there were photos of splinters on the tail of the fallen mig21, unfortunately bastard pakis have disappeared the F16 wreckage or else we would have known the reality. He was most probably shot, when he was engaged with the paki F16 and when he did a maneuvered to escape the missile while he...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Well turning off the radar had unfortunately no effect on the BVRAAM it still hit him :( . And mig21's radar requires cooling very often and has max 30 mins of working time . IAF was not prepared to attack but only defend if Pakis had crossed the line of control. Otherwise 2 sukhois , 2...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Bravo! This is the most logical assessment now at least for me. Indeed he was baited because Pakis did not want to give India a reason to escalate after that and humiliate us by showing our pilot, and if escalation have had happened it would be not as per India's limited theater. This is why may...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    But they went in In the night and Pakis were caught with their pants down as the air defence could not detect M2000 presence. Here in this video it is over Mirpur in the afternoon which is highly fortified. And away from Poonch where dog fight happened. Is this new Event or may be it was video...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Pakistan has a history of conducting 1st air raids in broad day light. In 1965 they did same also in 1971 they conducted raid in day light and this one too. May be some superstition.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Point is if it happening over Mirpur which is bit far from LOC inside POJK, this means not just on 27th but we have had dogfight with Pakis on 26th too inside their airspace. Something is seriously going on and no one knows what is happening.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    can some on analyse this video this was published on 26th Feb? Some where over Mirpur??? How is that Possible. Looks like aerial engagement between IAF and Paki AF began immediately after India conducted air raid in KPK.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    It's not cheap neither it is very potent but works well for them when they are already at a distance. They had it since 2016 and might have practiced simulations with it and they knew that even if BVRAAM is fired they can escape. Out of 24 most probably only 3 or 4 aircrafts breached LOC that...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Pakis got ALQ-211(V)9 Advanced Integrated Defensive Electronic Warfare Suites (AIDEWS) in 2016 from USA I am fully for a silent internal investigation within IAF, why BVRAAM were not used and if used then what went wrong.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    I believe it was because of the Electronic suppression package which was deployed by the PAF so heat seeker works well but for that it has to be WVR engagement. MKIs not firing the missile could be either a wrong statement , they might have fired but they missed it OR strict orders and ROE that...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    Possibly yes, this means there was EW suppression package by PAF hence Abhinandan had to switch to R73. Which means without crossing the LOC and ingress into Paki airspace he could not have taken the shot.

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    You have a valid question sir but I have a counter question Why did Abhinandan did not use R77 and rather chased the Pakis F16 across LOC and shot it down with R73. Could he also take the shot with R77?

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    As I said, ROE was most probably , shoot when PAF aircrafts are inside Indian airspace. Even Mig21s were fitted with R77, but one of the Mig21 bison had to cross LOC to shoot the Paki F16 down. This means there was very less chance of Paki aircraft to be locked inside Indian air space. They saw...

    IAF MiG-21 shoots down Pakistani F-16

    I think ROE was most probably shoot only when they are inside Indian airspace and don't go after them crossing LOC. IAF did shoo them away with just 8 aircrafts vs 24 PAF aircrafts a complete package! What Abhinandad did was an act of bravery, he was neither shot inside Indian airspace. But it...
