Balakot strike was not to show the world what we have done or what we can do? It was meant to destroy the terror camps which we did successfully, it's up to a person to believe it or not. Our objective was to destroy and prevent further attacks on our land. Pak diplomacy to its core know what we have done in Balakot and 2 other locations which are never talked about. We will keep striking the terror camps on the enemy grounds!
27 Feb engagement clearly shows that IAF is capable of Jamming and evading AMRAAM, specially the C-5 version that Pakis have. Kill probability (Pk) depends upon lot of factors. It's not as simple as purchasing a missile and pressing fire button.
MICA RF Is Better And I already posted Its evidence If you want I Can debate it on
IAF retains a strong edge over PAF in training, doctrine and tactics. Cope India and other exercises were no flukes. Each side has strengths and weaknesses. Their strength is their newly upgraded BVR tech. IAF has been observing them and training with various airforces that fly the F-16s which are better or at par with the PAF models.
My niggas,
PAF fired AMRAAM outside no escape zone which depending on many factors is less than 40km for AMRAAM. They didn’t throw away anything but prevented SU-30 from locking on attacking Mirage-III or F-16 themselves. Indian BVR (both Mica and R-77) lack the range of AMRAAM so reverse was never gonna work.
Range: No (No escape zone 50% less, range 20% less) for MICA.
Agreed, although had we used thermobaric bombs instead of precision bombs, Pakis could have had higher plausible deniability.
Agreed 100%. In this context, day-one wasn't the night of the strikes, but the day of the aerial combat. The night of the strikes was day-zero. On day-zero, our mission was to blow up those terror camps and not engage with the Paki military, even if they sent interceptors. We wanted to make this look like India taking unilateral action against terrorists, and not Pakistan (the country). Day-one, however, was a major provocation. They breached Indian airspace in broad daylight and targeted a Brig HQ on the Indian side. Notwithstanding the F-16 vs. MiG-21 dogfight and subsequent capture of an Indian PoW, India had a golden opportunity to retaliate the same day using 4-5 sqns of Su-30MKI armed with BVRAAMs, with their RoE and mission being "go kill as many paki fighters as you possibly can and establish air-superiority." We didn't do that, and wasted precious hours to instead go with a midnight naval strike (missile strike from DDGs) plan, which eventually fizzled out because by then NATO was able to sweet-talk Modi with trinkets such as "we'll get your PoW back and make sure JeM is shit-listed at UNSC, promise." Day-one is when I feel we lost the initiative.
Not sure if you can expand our BVR deficit to an overall A2A combat edge loss.
I think future warfare will be in the hands of UCAVs. Ground strike vs. ground strike, their CH-5 vs. our Predator-C. India will never get a 5th generation aircraft from NATO without strings attached, and we will never be able to pull off action against Pakistan with US hardware. The moment we cross the 5th generation line, so will they.
Agreed, India needs dedicated agencies for:
I think the next time JeM pulls off anything on Indian soil, India will target CPEC infrastructure overtly. Mark my words.
Eat shit chicoms, thanks to US-PRC tradewar and ICT manufacturing being moved outside PRC, it's become easier than ever for India to impose tariffs and buy electronics from manufacturing sites outside China that now manufacture for the US market.Like it or not, you can't avoid our products: Chinese media to India

The paper further advised Indian politicians to improve real strength rather than shouting slogans just on Twitter.
India's manufacturing industry is still underdeveloped and it doesn't have the ability to produce competitively, the Global Times has opined. That's why its long-running attempt to boycott Chinese products has failed so far, an opinion piece in the state-run newspaper says.
"Some Indian analysts have been appealing for a boycott of Made-in-China products. Especially after India's latest bid to list Masood Azhar as a global terrorist in the UN was suspended by China, the hashtag "#BoycottChineseProducts" has become popular on Twitter. But why has the boycott attempt failed for so many years? This is because India cannot produce the products by itself," said a blog published yesterday.
"Like it or not, they still have to use Chinese-made products because India still lacks the ability to produce on a large scale," it added.
The paper, which is affiliated to China's ruling Communist Party, said that it's the "forces inside India" that is hampering the country's reform process. Quoting Rahul Gandhi, the paper said Indian politicians should not use China to solicit votes.
"New Delhi should understand this: Diverting Indian people's attention towards China will only make its internal problems more serious," said the piece.
Relations between China and India have improved over the years and Beijing is also trying to address the trade deficit issue, it said.
"And it would be dangerous if candidates in the coming general election use the "China threat theory" to hype up nationalism and gain popularity. Sensationalising China affairs may help political careers, but it will not help improve India's economy, manufacturing or people's livelihoods," it warned.
The paper further advised Indian politicians to improve the country's real strength instead of just shouting slogans on Twitter.
