Yes IAF Mirages have Helmet Mounted Sights

I’ve read something of this kind recently but I can’t remind where. It would be nice to have a confirmation or the contrary. And you, do you remember where you could have read/heard that?

Yes they do have them…I took a picture at AI2005 of the info board next to the Mirage that says so….

MMRCA related question.

Although, IAF could opt for any of four types, i.e. F-16, Gripen, M2K-5 or Mig-29M2, the latter two are most logical choices for obvious reasons. OTOH, some some reports also mentions that India may decide to go for a mix of these two. Since India wants to purchase with ToT, and we know that ToT involves licence fee etc. as well as the fact that unit price is related to number of produced units, my question is (if india decided to go for mix option both with ToT) what sort of affect would this have on unit price and would it be worth it?

The Current IAF CAS Mr Tyagi mentioned all MMRCA aircraft will be procured from Single Source…

First pic of IAF MiG-29s carrying underwing drop tanks

http://www.thehinduimages.com/hindu/photoDetail.do?photoId=4210580

Also updated http://www.acig.org/exclusives/aero/Aero_India.htm

Nice find….a Pilot told me MiG-29s are used with with three droptanks and four R-73s for longrange missions…the three additional droptanks increase
fuel capacity by 3700 litres

India imported 1000 peneterator bombs from Israel around 2001 for US$ 20,000 each for fitting with LGB kits.

Hmm….which type ??? M2K do carry the BGL-1000 (maybe even -400 and -250) the pic could even be a BGL-1000 with penetrator warhead….

Su-30 WSO

One more thing, are the WSOs of the Su-30 squadrons pilots themselves ? or is there a separate course and intake for these officers from the fighter pilots pool ? Im assuming of course that WSOs pass the fighter pilot aptitude test and all those requirements. Could someone clarify on this ?

Yes even I wondered and asked a 20Sqn Pilot if he flew from the fron or rear and he told me ” from both “. Understand there are a few Navigators who are WSOs….But info is sketchy….

That look like a Mirage 2000 and the pod is likely to be an Atlis…the LDP seems mounted under the RHS Air Intake…but the LGB is interesting… it appears to be a penetrating type…I think this is the first time we have this pic…Good one…

I click the the ASTe Darin II jaguar with Griffin and Paveway II LGB kits at AI2005

Why all these ruckus over Su-30MKI MTOW

Guys I dont understand all this noise over the MTOW figure…..

To Take the full load of weapons as far as possible…here is what they would do…

a) Takeoff with full weapon load and minimum fuel ….
b) IFR to topup to full tanks from an orbiting tanker close to the airbase they took off from
c) Carry on with the mission…..

MTOW and Maximum Taxi Weight are sacrosanct figures in the Airliner world…but given a long runway and an aerial tanker these figures can and have been overcome

Talking of figures If my memory serves me right the Board next to the MKI at Bombay Static display said 34500kgs…I am quite sure it was a 4 next to the 3 and not an 8

Hi Indian1973,

I took those pics…The KGB under the left wing (of the Jaguar) is a 1000 pounder with TI Paveway II LGB kit and the one under the right has an Israeli Griffin LGB Kit. You can see the basic (dumb) British 1000 pounder bomb under the centreline of the Jaguar (which was from ASTE)
