I think recently India has chosen ASRAAM missiles to fit Jaguar self-defence capabilty.

It is very good capabilty.

Actually I wonder Indian experience on Mig27 and Jaguar. Two similar aircarft from similar timeframe. Are there any known Indian experience told here?

I would pick jAGUAR

Because, its STOL abilities, can use bad unprepared runways, low level fly performance, overall cockpit visibility, quite advanced Nav-Attack system etc..

British GR3A has better cockpit than previous one, GPS added, able to use various LGBs with TIALD. Various recce pod was available.

Add

-Gripen A/B: I belive roughly 50 is available from Sweeden
-F16 Block30-32: USAF has stock
-F15C/D and Tornado IDS: Could be available via Saudi Arabia
-Eurofighter Trench-I. Roughly 80 could be sold upcoming years.
-F-5A/2000: Rougly 20-25 is available from TurAF

Future threats against GPS will be more sofisticated. It can include:

*Anti-satellite capability against GPS-Satellites.
*Destruction of GPS control stations
*Cyberwarfare
*Satellite Based Jamming of GPS Signal
*Near Space Vehicle (like baloons, airships etc..) as GPS Jammers.

USAF AFRL developes a enhenced vision technology, I think consist of IR/LLTV Camera and synthetic vision technology (SVS), for level flights.

And Honeywell developes similar “combined vision system” that combines SVS and EVS together to make clear picture; I think both of them are good example, for flight safety.

I think airforces should combine TEPROM like Sytnthetic Vision Systems as well as IR Cameras in order to maximise flight safety; and to use safe low level flight operations in wartime.

SAAB and Turkish Aircraft Industry (TAI) signed contract for future Turkish fighter aircraft design phase. Rumours states that TAI may acquire shares from SAAB Aircraft Production division.

It will be interesting cooperation, both for SAAB’s future and Turkish F-X/TX Programme.

Also “burn time” of rocket engine and wheter the missile is dual thrust engine or not, other factors that determines range.

I found that USAF and US Navy used AN/AAR-38, AN/AAR-50, AN/AAR-51 and AN/AAR-55 FLIR-Only pods.

Do you have info about the usage of these pods? For low-level flight for attackers or navigational aid for take-off landings or for air-air engagement?

So basic targeting pods doesnt give full situational understanding for flight. But I think F35 with AN/AAQ-37 distributed aperture system (DAS) which includes MWR+IRST function with spherical image fusion could be nice example expensive, sofisticated usage of IR System; with HMD F35 pilots will see through the aircraft, and wont need NVG. But this case both F35 and AN/AAQ-37 is “extreme” example of avionic technology.

What about low-level flights?

Since modern radars unveils from 60s, low level, flights are possible with terrain following radars.
But even AN/AAQ-13 from LANTIRN pods use fixed IR Camera; and Chinese developed similar system “Blu Sky”. Thales has NAVFLIR system for IR Navigation.

So are todays modern radars like AN/APG-69 or CAPTOR or AESAs are enough for nap-of-earth flights? Or do aircrafts really need IR Cameras for this kind of purpose?

PAC-3 missile range is around 20km against SRBM; but against air-breating threats it has range around 60km; roughly half of PAC-2 GEMT missiles.

New PAC3 MSE missile is probably better performance.

Interesting; I thought ATFLIR or SNIPER-XR style pods are also used in take-off landing at night and bad weather.

What about night dogfights? How can modern aircraft do this? BVR fights are understandable only radar tracks on HUD would works; but with in visual fight, radars probably is not enough, direct eye contact required to sense and pursuit enemy.

In this sense, IRST on Rafale and Eurofighter is perfect; but what about ground attack pods?

And what about NVG performance in night dogfight?

T129 fires ROKETSAN UMTAS Missile. Altough basic UMTAS IIR with Radyolink update guidance, SAL guided derivative has been developed and tested:

UMTAS previously tested on AH-1 Cobra

sorry for bad pictures.

Greece cannot go into war.

-They have no modern ammo for the tanks
-They have still no factory level repair overhaul facility for the F16s
-Most of F16 still doesnt have EW; which means in BVR they will sitting ducks
-Greece still lacks most of modern command-control infrastructre. Even their navy (which is full of cold war era warships) has no modern SATCOM capability, they depend only commercial satellites.
-Their submarines torpedo is 40 years old
-Their Fast Attack craft lack of over the horizone attack capability (except 5 of them)
-Their infantry poorly equipped, lack of enough training, they still mostly rely on 50 year old un-modernised M113s which cannot stop modern 7.62×51 AP rounds.
-Greece in economic trouble, they dont have enoug spare parts, avalibilty of older Mirage and A7 is probably comparable to Syrian Mig21s
-Their pilots lack of necceary skills, HAF has mid-air colllision record in Europe!
-Greek navy and coast guard humilated by human and drug trafficers everday, they have no control over their border.
