This is a very sober and realistic analysis of the IAFs capabilities unlike what is being propagated here.
yeah..naaah, It suits your agenda doesn't mean it's 'sober or realistic' analysis, author outright rubishes and takes dig at Russian or French or Tejas platform while ignoring their role, purpose and future work while at the same time touts and boasts about F-21. It's a sales pitch coupled with propaganda to push the american systems nothing else. Not saying everything they said is incorrect but their bias and choice of points makes it pretty evident that it is far from being a 'realistic' or 'sober' analysis.

Americans who are trying to save the reputation of F-16 for propoganda purposes, by denying the IAF claim of shooting down the F-16 with Mig 21, should not forget that in Cope America exercise in 2004there own F-15C had its own ass handed down to it by the Su-30 MKi and Mig-21, and IAF acheived a 9:1 air superiority over the USAF. Granted it was just an air exercise and radars of aircrafts of both sides as well as AWACS were nuetered, but it showed them that Mig21 Bison with upgraded avionics was a potent fighter, who can do sneak attack on advanced fourth generation jets at the last moment, by flying under the radar for most of its flight path. This innovative use of Su-30 mki and Mig-21 Bison combination was pioneered at TACDE, IAF.
Similar results were also acheived in Cope India 2005.
Old timers at DFI and BRF remember the incident very well, as we had long discussions on this issue.

Israel’s Assurance Of Full Military Support To India Is A Warning To Pakistan & It ‘Iron Brother’ China :
Ron Malka , ambassador of israel to Bharat ‘officially’ announced that the Jewish nation would provide whatever ‘friend’ India needs to defend itself. However a declaration from Ron Malka was just a formality as now Israel will provide technology, weaponry, servicing, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, media, radar systems, drones or Iron Domes, etc. to India. It may even lead to Israel’s actual participation in the war from the Indian side, as that is what the word ‘whatever’ used by Malka implies.

Is our beloved Baba the chief "EDITOR" of this tabloid? or may be he owns it. There is some relation though.

Oh it's not the procurement part that I'm talking about, it's the current situation of the IAF especially in relation to the PLAAF's capabilities.
If you are to believe the words of Ex vice chief of air staff P K Barbora( I do trust him more than some 3rd party paper and Barbora's analysis is grounded in reality and he has never hesitated to spell out the IAF's shortcomings) then India has "air dominance" along the LAC.

Well, i don't want to go into fairyland but considering we will see upgrades of MKI, Mirage 2000, Tejas mk1a, Rafales + with the development of Astra mk1, mk2 and mk3 we can achieve parity. Number will be an issue but it all depends on how many actually china actually field against us, but still it is a concern if we take into account of two-front war.

We need bombers with greater range. That's one thing. Coming to fifth-gen, you can clearly see mutts are exaggerating when j20 was used as a scarecrow in the article along with pl-15. They stated that j20 was not deployed at any forward base but you can find the news about them deployed in hotan air base, etc. IAF has put their faith in AMCA so i guess they are fine with that waiting period, hopefully rafale will be enough in that regard.

Also, article conveniently ignored the existence of meteor BVR, Astra missiles,etc. No mention of air launched varients of Brahmos, so that's why i said that article did the lots of nitpicking to suit their agenda.

How exactly do you know what SPICE2000's BDA looks like? Can you post some pics that show the damage profile of a SPICE2000 deep penetration bomb?

As far as I know there is zero chance of SPICE2000 missing a target as the target is dynamically selected by the bomb kit using scene matching technology (if you put in the scene of a hut, it will target the hut, not the nearby trees) - not GPS co-ordinates. I have seen several open source articles refuting the strike using false arguments like military intelligence did not choose the right co-ordinates, they missed azimuth calculations etc., without those morons knowing that SPICE2000 hit point is based on scene matching technology. Propaganda war is typically done only when a mission fails which is untrue in this case. SPICE2000 is made for situations like Balakot, where targets maybe concealed.

Here's a video by RADS, SPICE2000's manufacturer.
Here’s the recent satellite imagery of Penetration warhead used by Israeli Air Force to target IRGC targets inside Syria!

Israel used F-15s and F-35s over Syria against Assad’s forces who were protected by Russian S-200s, S-300s and S-400s and some older Russian systems but not even one Israeli fighter was shot down by these systems. Russian systems had Golden opportunities to show the world there capabilities and destroy the reputation of both the US and Israel but they failed to do both of that.
Actually it’s not that Syrian AD are incapable of shooting down IAF’s Aircraft but do they want military escalation with Israel?

We don’t even know that on what terms and Conditions Russia supplied S-300 to Syria!
