Indian Air Force: News & Discussions

[Dark Sorrow]

I think if mission computer is Indian then what's problem if we add any equipment of other country origin

Their is no problem. The guy is vomiting out total BS.
Not only is EL8222 integrated with MKI but we also used it successfully during Operation Swift Resort against PAF AIM-120C5s where we successfully jammed the missiles that were fired on us.

Shouldn't it be in Indian Navy thread.

oops!
wrong thread..
will ask the mod to move it

Pakistan Air Force - Air to Ground Weapons: Towards Precision & Stand-Off Capability

Over last decade, Pakistan Air Force has made conscious efforts to have a wider precision guided, and stand-off weapon delivery capability across its entire fleet. In this episode of The Perspective, I will provide an overview of various precision guided, and stand-off air-to-ground weapons, targeting pods, cluster bombs, anti-ship missiles, general purpose bombs and runway denial munition of the Pakistan Air Force and aircrafts which employ them.

Has this been discussed before?

Can someone elaborate what it means in real terms? Which sensors and which shooters?

The mean to say IAF has completely operationalize AFNET.
All data from ground radars (e.g. MR-SAM, Akash SAM, etc.), AWACS (e.g. Netra AWACS), fighter aircraft radars (e.g. MKI, Tejas, etc.), ground based EO sensor, aerial EO sensor (e.g. OLS-30 sensor from MKI), IFF etc. is going to be fused (sensor fusion on a very large scale) together to get accurate picture of air-space. Further analysis and decision-making will be done on this picture generated.
With this data commanders and our assets will have real-time picture of entire battle-field.

Does this also mean that they've standardised the protocol for onboarding such a sensor in their new acquisitions? Like a surveillance drone, or a loitering munition? And what does it take to integrate similar network capabilities of IA and IN assets (too much of mental jerk off for now, but has to be done eventually)

Yes, they have standardized communication interface and protocols.
All manufacturers are expected to add this standardized communication interface layer to enable the product to be network-centric.

This will pave way for >90% indigenization of MKI.

Its due to them only. They only want different aircraft for each and every role..

Is there any data about payload capability of Chinook at high altitudes? I want to know how much weight Chinook can carry at different altitudes,
