Those are not real AIM 120’s they are CATM 120’s. http://marvineng.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2018/01/CATM-Final-Draft2.pdf

It takes a truly special kind of person to degrade officers that died in service of their nation -regardless of the politics. Surely if others choose to reach the same lofty levels of "specialness" they wouldn't have the opportunity to do so.... Yes "crash" you heard me right "crash" as...

Same principle of encrypting radio transmission applies to both - so not different at all, The only difference is encryption strength and transmission range.

I hope so, but when an air force scrambles to acquire encrypted radio sets or better long range missiles after learning hard lessons in battle you have to wonder - why is that air force reactive? Surely, someone noticed the need for better communications gear before that equipment was needed in...

Perhaps, but I am absolutely sure that the USAF learn from their mistakes. And if you are convinced the same is true for the IAF - you can just ignore everything I said.

I'm sorry, I realize that I may have pushed the wrong buttons here - there is only so much I can say without revealing how I know these things. For a fact I know that Feb 27 wasn't a good day for the IAF. There are issues that needs urgent resolution within your institutions, this isn't about...

Vent away... :biggrin2: Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milošević , Ossama Bin Laden and Hitler et al agree with you...

Do you feel better now? Did venting you anger with insults help? :biggrin2: By the way, LM continues to sell more F-16 "crap" to Bulgaria, Bahrain, Taiwan and Iraq in 2019 likely new sales to Morocco and Indonesia. And if begging India results in more $'s then LM Execs will be more than happy...

None of what you say matters - on Feb 27th a serving officer of the IAF became an internet meme. The world saw the smoking remains of an IAF aircraft, an IAF officer in chains, held captive by Pakistan. The world did not see the burning wreak of an F-16, a captured PAF pilot etc... So in general...

Shabab I think means young girl in Hindi ?:basanti: ....and Kebab barbecued minced meat and not the names of actual Iranian missiles :pound: Excerpts from a 2011 CAG Report documenting no improvements in the performance or serviceability of Russian BVR missiles since the CAG report of 2009...

Sure we were fooled then by our administration. If you love your country, I assume you do then you should hold your government accountable. Ask them why the Pakistani's were able to listen in on IAF comms? Why were they able to jam IAF comms? Why were IAF fighters forced into a defensive...

More spin and desperation, crediting Russian missiles for kills in Yemen because it suits your narrative. The Houthis more than likely used Iranian missiles to down Saudi aircraft. Meanwhile the IAF are troubled by Russian missiles that explode as soon as it leaves the launch rails during...

The loss of a PAF F-16 cannot be covered up - its impossible, the US has eyes on every F-16 in Pakistan. This isn't the first F-16 to be shot down in combat so the US is least concerned about the loss of "prestige" of a nearly 50 year old platform.

You do realize that 1 parachute does not equal 1 pilot, there are other parachutes on the aircraft. A single ejection seat depending on make and origin can have up to three chutes. Then there is the drogue chute on the aircraft that is used for landing, these can be deployed when an aircraft is...

The F-16's never left Pakistani airspace so not sure what you're on about...

30 years minimum with routine maintenance so that is not a concern for the PAF.

It's small, one USN Aircraft carrier has a larger stockpile of missiles than the PAF. Besides, the PAF is not guaranteed more supplies of AIM 120s from the US add to that they have no money. .

There are several Indian Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) reports that document reliability, serviceability and performance issues with Russian A2A missiles - its on the internet and easy to find. So I will not debate that point here, The rest of your story about PAF F-16's flying in...

No F-16's or Su 30's were harmed on Feb 27, 2019. From a purely neutral standpoint Feb 27 was a win for the PAF. Some key observations from that day and it does not look good for the IAF. - No secure comms - points to institutional negligence on the part of the IAF. - No reliable BVR, -...

oh! for heavens sake cry me a Volga our motivation to hate Russia ended with the demise of the USSR. What does any of this have to do with Putin's photo op with the PAK-FA?
