What’s the C5?

Aim-120 Amraam

Aim-120 Amraam

I think the Mica is much more effective than the C5. C7s are supposed to be the top of the lines for aim 120s.
The Paki F16s as far as I remember turned tail when a mirage package was vectored towards them during post balakot showdown. The IAF had mentioned that the pakis did not want to face the mirages with magic...
I’m no expert but that was the rhetoric coming out that time ...

Here’s a link to a rather lengthy piece. More like a thesis.

How Pakistan planned to hit India back for Balakot -- the mission, the fighters, the tactics

Pakistan was incapable of affording a full-blown war with India. But the response still had to convey an ‘impression’ to India and the world that Islamabad was willing to escalate the crisis.

China knows likely that there will be pushback from its actions. Take for example islands in South China sea which have been converted to full fledged military bases within just three years; jeopardizing security of Indonesia, Philippines, Australia etc. Any country threatened will take countermeasures. However somehow Chinese are glum. The confidence is suspicious. Either China has some weapons or tech that rest of the world does not know about; or China is bluffing to take advantage of a moment in history when USA is weak.

China's actions seem to be repeat of Germany's actions in second world war. Only difference is today people get to know what is happening almost in real time.

India has very limited options with respect to China. I think India is at the end of road.

Is there a Defence forum for That’s US/America based?

 

[Bhadra]

Which Indian System will be integrated with these missiles?

Any system that can fire rockets from air .. even drones.

Add : China exposed itself as a paper tiger.

Chiana's stooges which are barking on behest of china got a message that their masters will not save them from India as their master itself has surrendered.

Xi has emerged as a weak leader. Anti Xi forces will now become stronger and work over time to remove him.

Chinese confidence comes from profit seeking financial experts who have already outsourced all manufacturing and cannot pull out anytime soon. Now that Covid is here, china is only savior for Sales figure/revenue numbers because its the only market that seems to be open.

China is trying to consolidate it gains because it thinks only country that can manage do a little(militarily) is engaged in its own internal political/pandamic drama. only if we could have invested more in our defence products and some squadrons of tejas, lch, were ready our position would have been better. I really hope that post covid some sense prevails in these people.. but i m very skeptical that it will be business as usual.

View: Xi may have lost the plot on China’s dream of great rejuvenation

Over the years, Xi Jinping embarked on his goal of achieving greatness for China by 2049.

Japan: Indians, Taiwanese, others protest against Chinese President Xi Jinping's 'dictatorial style of working'

The protest was done with the demand to replace Xi Jinping with a "responsible leader who shall be democratically elected by the Chinese people".

Lets say we get rafale today, then how long more till it gets combat ready to be deployed at lac?

I Don't want XI to go away yet. He is ensuring that what ever goodwill chinese have is also destroyed in global world and that's good for us.

Let there be more damage to chinese reputation and economy.. nothing like self destruction....

These are non-chinese view point which does not make any difference. More important data points what chinese think. I believe chinese views are strictly aligned with CCP world views (not all but majority). As long as there are no voices against regime or discomfort in mainland china, its of no use other than internal consumption for non-chinese audience only.

BTW skardu is only 110 km from kargill. It will be wiped out in first wave of attack

Exactly, few Pruthvis or Brahmos will do the job.

 

[Sanglamorre]

Seeing as how our pilots and ground staff were being trained in France all this while, provided the weapons also came, within a couple days.

That said, the airbases near LAC don't have HAS for Rafale do they? It's just 6-8, that's a helluva risk.

 

[HariPrasad-1]

Question. Can the S400 be taken out by Brahmos?
Assuming we get crystal clear coordinates of the location of the target radar system, either by Indian Satellites or US satellite imagery, what is the possibility of firing a salvo to take out the chinks S400?
aside from theoretical possibility, is it possible practically in the theater.

I’m not even going to try to imagine an Apache group flying under the radar to take out the S400 radar systems like they did in desert shield. Although this terrain would be the best environment. For apaches.

Achievable with multiple fires.

Not needed, given that the Balakot mission by M2000I was executed from Gwalior. Ambala is close enough to both fronts. The idea behind rapid induction of Rafale is to throw PAF and PLAAF warplanning off gear since they now have to factor in the potential of Rafales in any Indian formation that may have Meteors. The heavy-lifting will still be done by Su-30MKIs with R-77, including SDs.

 

[lcafanboy]

but then again, its the same engine tht used in our 29's right? is this a better variant?

It's not the same engine..
Russians cleared RD93 for Pakistan which is variant of Rd 33 basic engine which is smokey, lower power and not that reliable. While Indian mig29s are now using the newer and improved version of Rd 33 engine which is not smokey has more power and much more reliable....

TikTok stops working for users in India; alert shows working with India govt

TikTok App Ban in India: The government of India on Monday announced the ban of 59 Chinese apps in the country. A day later one of the most popular short video applications TikTok has been taken down from Apple App store and also Google Play store.

indianexpress.com

TSP/ISP blockage (nullroute IPs + DNS entry removals), CDN service removals, app removals from app stores, all updates blocked.

CDN removal is the key ingredient to killing TikTok in India. Without CDN servers on Indian soil, TikTok is practically unusable, even with VPNs, because video streaming is a highly bandwidth-sensitive operation, and without local CDNs, the app will get choked at the undersea network trying to find CDNs of other countries. The government order includes directives for Indian CDNs to stop serving the banned apps, including for CDNs owned by those apps.
