True about the French Air Force, awesome fighting force, well equiped and trained and experienced.
Also the Indian AF is top notch.
I think its not right to mention either of them here on this thread..they could both overcome any of the other AF’s mentioned here and are among the top 10 AF’s in the world.
Greek AF and the Turkish AF..surely their pilots get the most “near” combat experience that any AF could ask for..
South Korea’s already lost 1 F-15K in an accident so that makes it 59 considering these additional 20.
Vario, the PV-3 did not carry any radar on board..Pv-2 is being used for integrating an Elta radar with the Tejas.
do not trolling in this thread. I post the picture of the city because MiG-23MILF challenge me on income and development of two country. You do not need spread it to other area because you think it is funny.
MiG-23 MILF ?! 😀 so when did the MiG-23 become a MILF ?? :diablo:
thanks a ton Alepou ! some of the nicest pics of my fave jet !!:)
did you know night google and fighter jet is different things?
I buy car and American car is cheap but American Jet is so expensive.anyway why you buy night google for? what you trying to look at night? owl?
is this guy for real ?? 😀
i am a third generation american, that should tell you about my loyalty. the reason i responded to this thread in the first place was because your buddy is using 11 and 16 years old publications as credible sources. again i provided a source where is your source? now you can roll your eyess and run to defense of your friend(very manly on your part*) or what eva you two are all you want, it still doesn’t change the case that the erieye has 360 detection.
p.s why is it that most indian members that posted on this thread are trying to claim that the erieye system doesn’t have 360 detection? hmmmm
so u still dont have any scientific explanation for how the Erieye’s planar array will be able to scan 360 deg do u ?
lets leave it at that- that u are just using figures someone put up somewhere but cant back it up with any real reasonable explanation.
Structurally the M wing uses the same connection bolts as the older models. The change of wings could be performed at the airfield level.
At a time when the brits are getting rid of their Harriers it would be an ideal oportunity for the Indians to get all the tooling and manufacturing for them… if they wanted them. Are you suggesting that the Mig-29K is better than a Sea Harrier?
They are keeping every Mig-29 in storage and lament they don’t have enough pilots to keep them operational.
So why did they licence produce them?
Not to mention they only gave the mig the most basic upgrades to prevent it becoming a viable alternative to the Typhoon.
India never licence produced the Fulcrum.
Alepou 340MB, please post the Mirage-2000 pics you were talking about posting.:)
why are you responding to my post? was it meant for u? read all my post i provided sources to back up my claims. btw my souces are not from 1995. as for boeing link they are a competitor so i take what they say with a grain of salt.
so what if it was’nt meant for me ?? getting snappy coz little boy can’t answer with a real SCIENTIFIC explanation ? :p
it was implied as being directed at ur nation according to you which was more likely because you had no actual scientific explanation to offer..which you still dont.. :rolleyes:
and dont BS about Boeing being a competitor ..the Ereiye was not the major competitor to the MESA 737-700..the Phalcon was the competitor and it lost thanks to ITAR issues..they clearly mention the drawbacks of the approach that the Ereiye uses to explain why they didn’t use that approach on their solution..
all you points has been refuted by actual facts. did you just start this thread to maligned the erieye system because pakistan has choosen it?
just answer the question with scientific facts rather than making it a nationalistic issue..
if you dont have any real explanation to refute the fact that a planar array CANNOT cover 360 degs, then dont say that its being “maligned” because its been bought by Pakistan..
the fact that Planar arrays cannot scan 360 degs is accepted by Boeing itself in its MESA 737-700 presentation to the South Koreans..

fantastic photography there..
Broncho,
I’d stack Sea Eagle up against Kh-35 any day of the week and aren’t the Indian Sea Harriers the same ones that gave a bunch of Aeronavale Rafales a bit of a pasting in WVR a wee while ago?.
Either way, its indisputeable that the MiG is the more powerful aircraft of the two. As stated though all this really means is that its a bit better at performing the local BARCAP and it has a bit more range when tooling uselessly over the sea on SURCAP missions. Gorshkov will do Viraat’s missions better than Viraat I am sure….but no more than that and for the money spent I dont think thats good enough!.
yes Jonesy, the SHars were a handful in WVR combat..and Harry had written about DACT with Fulcrums where Fulcrum pilots lost sight of the SHars due to their small size and that the SHars actively employed VIFFing..
but the point is that as an overall platform, the MiG-29K is far superior to the SHar which lacks range, and payload capacity. even with a El-2032 and Derby, the SHar can only provide CAP for a short while for the fleet.
:rolleyes:
oh so if they can do that how come they don have F-22 or Typhoon or JSF with Su-35UB or Leopard2A6? the guy up above you say the british will not sell them Radar?
even if they will sell them it, it do not mean India will always make the right purchase. how come they are buying LCA? is it the best fighter in the market? :rolleyes:maybe your indian pride make you blind.
he’s Pakistani, not Indian so cut the crap..
the F-22 was NEVER offered to India, and the Typhoon is a contender for the MRCA deal, and India already will get over 190 Su-30MKIs so why go for the Su-34 ?
As for the Leopard 2A6, the IA’s fundamental doctrine is for light and fast tanks that move quickly over the deserts of Thar..even the Arjun is getting a fair deal of stick for being larger and heavier than the T-series tat the IA is used to till now..
and talking about the LCA, it was about INDIGENIZATION ! the point was to replace a MiG-21 size fighter with another INDIAN MiG-21 size fighter. the specifications for the LCA were laid down by the IAF only. compare the LCA to any fighter that is in its class and size then talk.
