Indian Air Force: News & Discussions

[daya]

Saar ji, Commissioned officers ke saath saath neglected branches ke liye bhi kuchh cadre restructure lao.. technical kharabiyan door hone lagengi... Technical aur baaki rank bhi us sab ka hakdaar hain...

Just how did they manage to fire it?

Samosa training of Carrom board warriors at fullest. Imported Airforce is full such records.

What if this Nuclear missile would have been dropped inside India or any city or any other country?? I can bet initially IAF must be trying to put blame on BrahMos aerospace for faulty manufacturing but unfortunately they had been running out of luck this time.

UN general opposing theaterisation and want to keep everything in his sleeve. Overcrowded responsibility will make impossible to run things smoothly.

Their are some members on this forum advocating use of RD-33 series engine on Tejas instead of GE404 just because GE404 is an American engine.

The design may have been good but the manufacturing wasn't and the RD-33s were manufactured in China not in Russia. A huge difference.

These guys are very lucky that no one was killed. It saved us from even more embarrassment.

Can anyone tell me if the IAF even operates ground launched BrahMos? As far as I know, they don't. Only Navy and Army have ground launched BrahMos. Right? And Tigersharks of Air Force (who can launch BrahMos-A) are in South India. So how come there was a launch of BrahMos into Pakistan and IAF Officers end up getting fired for it? I am so confused right now.

A MiG-21 won't ever enter a flat spin or an inverted spin no matter how hard you try. This has prevented many accidents.

I have heard complete opposite of this !

 

[Knowitall]

IAF guys are most complacent of all 3 I think.. the Fratricide, the complacency after Mig crashes, the procurement paralysis, now this. does not print a pretty picture for a force that has most lethal and high tech weapons

Don't forget post balakot operations. Probably the only real glimpse we had into IAF operations and they were a complete disaster from the start to the end.

A heavily biased and completely wrong conclusion derived from a sample set of one. But it's okay, let's keep on bashing IAF who are screaming they need MMRCA since 2014.
Then we make a surprise pikachu face when our equipment is not up to par with modern threat standards.

 

[pipebomb]

You know many in Australia advocate for getting b-21 from the uncle. IF we decide to get tu-160 then amreeki can't simply waive the caatsa danda at us they also need to dangle the b-21 carrot (which was not possible in case of s-400 )

Funny isn't it

RD-93 for JF-17s were manufactured by Russia. Service regarding the maintenance was also provided by Russia.

Would be pretty hilarious (and depressing at the same time) to see a country like Australia, that doesn't even make cars, fielding F-35, unmanned wingmen, B-21 Raiders and Murican level SSNs in the IOR.

Plus points of being American ally

Nothing is biased in it.

How about IAF understand the reality of the situation. We are no rich nation to afford 30 billion worth of aircraft.

Matter of fact is that they shot their own helicopter lost a mig when they knew pakistan was going to retaliate.

Every year IAF returns unspent money back to the govt because they can't import foreign maal.

Well, Canada, Australia, NZ aren't real countries in true spirit just to be fair. They matter only because their masters carry some weight. They generously get stuff gifted to them unlike us painfully going through slow process and excruciating system. Australia is a first class colony transplanted people squatting on occupied land that is not theirs, no more. A potentially big and vital base for their masters.

Bhai, its not due to lack of planes or modern planes. We simply do not act with attack in mind. Its always fucking defence and that too with restraint. Cuckold political leadership and shitty limp dick democracy.....answer this would our response be any different if we had another 36 Rafales?

 

[Blademaster]

Wrong. It was licensed by China and China manufactured it.

 

[Blademaster]

And not to mentioned that India also licensed produced the engines for MiG-29s and those engines ran without major issues such as the ones suffered PAF.

 

[ezsasa]

What I have been saying all along. Chinese engine are even worse and availability of Chinese fleet is even more dismal.

for past year or two, hardly a month goes by without some news of equipment malfunction within pak military, could be planted news too.

Laughable at best.

Egypt being the 44th economy can afford 56 Rafales, Indonesia being the 15th economy can afford 42 Rafales, and UAE being the 24th economy can afford 80 Rafales, yet we being the 5th largest economy can only afford 36 Rafales.

Yes, shit happens, accept it. RuAF is losing half of its inventory to Ukrainian MANPADS. The USA had to abandon its equipment in hurry and face a humiliating retreat from Afghanistan.

Keep screaming foreign maal and UN airforce. Pakistan will keep throwing imported AMRAAMs at us, from imported F-16s, delivering imported Griffin LGBs on our position, but fortunately for us, all of these are useless since they are "imported", so we can rest easy.

On the battlefield, hard, cold capabilities matter, not the country of origin.
