all said and done, what does this translate to in terms of aircraft performance ? could someone give an idea of what kind of an advantage this may bestow on the OVT in terms of dogfights or evading radar or any such thing..this bird is in a contest for the MRCA in the IAF. and the IAF Air Chief is on record as having stated that fancy maneuvers alone dont maketh a good aircraft..its the innards and avionics also that will matter.

F-16s do crash with an alarming regularity..even a Dutch F-16 crashed on Wednesday.

that picture can constitute a genocide…:( what a waste of precious models..

The first Mirage 2000 – like most Dassault fighters – went supersonic during its first flight.

so what ?

superb scan Harry !

I’ve got a couple of pics of IAF pilot cadets who’v been training on the Hawks.

those additional 20 Jag DARIN-2s should give the IAF some breathing room with regard to its MiG-27s that may be retired by 2010..will these be 2 seaters or single seaters ?

Good, you can sooth your jealousy that way. Remember, Strevitel, only a small jealous man is worried about other people’s pride.

Say, why do you come to Chinese threads anyways? You seem to be so envious and racist towards us all the time? Is China’s rise too much for you to handle? Is envy eating away at your insides?

Come on, it’s only airplanes 🙂

Learn to be an aviation enthusiasts not a jealous angry person.

stop preaching and take a look at the facts..Chinese well known and accepted copycats in the field of defence and youv been trying to pass it off as being your own handiwork..if you had’nt been so damn arrogant, people might have even let your true Paaki connections get thru..but go proselytize to your “own religious kind” 😉 ..they’re the ones most in need of tolerance..if you get what i mean. :diablo:
