You are all right mahn. Alright. Just calm down, take a sip of water, some deep breath and go back to sleep

Dude A380 is a logistical and operational nightmare. The several established airlines with vast experience maintaining state of the art wide body jets gave up on A380. Only Emirates is planning to operate them in long term with UAE state's deep pockets. The parts have no commonality with other...

My genius divided 11,000 crore by 12

No big deals are planned this year. Rafales will come only after the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. Around 54 + 26 Rafale G2G will be political bloodbath. Sukhoi upgrades can happen only after desi Uttam mk3 and other avionics are developed and flight tested.

The fire itself will be too hot for any pilot to sit there. After a collision we don't know what was the condition of the aircraft. Whether they were able to point it to where they want? Where the control surfaces intact or whether it was just a ball of metal flame flying with an engine still...

They just want to spin their statements to suit their agenda.

MKI carried the Russian EW pods. The entire skirmish has been already discussed to dearth in the other forum even including some insider details.

They were not caught lacking. They foiled an attack by a fleet of multiple F-16s . All that PAF in their ultra uber F-16 was able to get was a soviet era MiG 21 that too the Abhis comms got jammed otherwise he would've heard the combat controller instructions to not cross over LoC or he got over...

Just stop saying rubbish out of thin air. The jamming pods in Su 30 that defeated the multiple amraams launched against the fighters when Sukhois sticked to the protocol they were asked to.

Add a pair of close combat R-73 AAM, then a pair of fuel tank and if one is serious to survive in an enemy airspace - jammer pods, then what significant ground attack munitions Tejas can carry is limited. It's one thing to do it in an exercise in one's home turf. Taking out the fuel tank will...

A big no on F-35. It's operation and maintenance cost will make the Su-30s look dirt cheap. Also all the strings attached while using a high tech American equipment starting from 'technicians' in IAF bases

Where is this plenty of time IAF had? The foc squadron was set up barely an year ago. With several additions including bvr capability, IFR etc. Then for every kind missile, pgm, bombs etc, the qualifications must start from carriage trials, pylon tests, release trials , then weapon specific...

Nobody is buying F 35. It's just some articles that tactically came out once news broke out of AMCA's bulkhead metal cutting. F 35 costs 35,000 dollars ( aprox 30 lakhs ) to operate it for 1 hour. The IAF chap who will go with such a proposal to Finance Ministry will be Agni-5ied by babus

If there is any truth in this, that means powers that be have realised that AMCA is inching towards reality. Few weeks back, the fabrication of AMCA bulkheads started. Timing is on point

6 Blackjacks. A 60% availability means 3 complete airframes and the Russkies will demand an arm and leg to keep up the supply of spares. It will be maintenance intensive. No doubt about that. Now who are we scaring with 3 Blackjacks on standby with these fancy glide vehicles? What increased...

This is how lobbies go about it when they want to get in. First use your contacts to speak of the need for a strategic bomber for the Air Force component of SFC. Then conveniently say "Hey look we have the platform". Tu-160 BlackJack. Then this Bharat Karnad guys writes talks are in advanced...

Even the 21 MiG 29s are not coming.

CDS will not get any operational command. Period. CDS will be the Chairman of Chiefs of Staff committee and military advisor to the govt. Theater commanders will have the operational control and will take orders directly from GoI is what i suppose. Forget the Parliament, GoI and Babus letting...

Option of Rafale is never over. Post the UP election, by the time which Navy will decide Rafale-M or F-18, the final decision will be taken. If Navy goes with F-18, another 36-54 Rafales directly imported. If Navy goes with Rafale-M around 62-80 Rafale with 2nd line probably 'assembled' in India

https://www.dawn.com/news/1663307/lecturer-moves-lhc-against-conviction-over-leaked-call-to-paf-pilot While watching the news about two Indian aircraft being shot down by the PAF during a standoff between the two countries, Mr Khan called up his old student, who was an air force fighter pilot...
