The latest AFM says that Israel bought a Druv just to compensate the huge Indian order. Not particular other reason. Let us hope for a bigger ticket to Latin arena.

The attacking plane has to lock and launch. So it isn’t exactly a shock to the vessel. Besides that the speed of Brahmos is extremely high. The higher the speed the less time you have to guide or change heading… About the shape. Superb. But I was thinking about if the plane is carrying these missiles… What impact does it have on drag?

Lovely sight. I did compare it with Draken but it doens’t look the same to me. Read somewhere that these two planes have super wings.

The mig19 was more of a dogfighter. PAF still loved it cause it could do pretty well in dogfights. Dogfights aren’t exactly above mach 0.8. The Mig21 was more of a interceptor with infrared. We know how reliable those missiles were. I have seen articles that a mig21 was shot into pieces by sabre… Guns…

The strange part that Lockheed will close lines. Does it men PAK will get new build planes? I thought it was a stop gap plane. And how on earth will it be armed with BVR? Will US deliver amraam? Or source codes? Highly doubt the value of that part. If PAK gets it then they will shop AMARC. Or maybe they will get those build-paid-nondelivered planes…

atleast the mig19 crashed less then mig21.

The F16 is seen as a bonus for stop gap. So I doubt they would build new planes in Dallas. Don’t understand that Lockheed uses that reason. And there is a big question about AMRAAM or newer blocks even if Pakistan is allowed to fly and maintain UAE block60 planes. I think there is more chance that PAF would get those planes that are ex-PAF planes now gradually returning to service in the US. The chance India might buy these items isn’t huge. They are using the LCA with US engine and I doubt they would increase the risk getting boycotted. So I am looking forward to hear how the next generation aircraft are doing.
