Forgive my ignorance but how will an aircraft not know if a missile has been launched against it, I always thought that the F-22 would have first shoot capability, I did not know that that ment that the other enemy ac would not even see the missile comming, how are the Russians marketing their planes to countries, buy our plane, but it won’t see the missile comming anyway but don’t worry have some vodka and then sign this contract?
and the Chinese, why bother to develop the J-10 if the J-10 won’t even see the missile comming, there must be more to this that such a simplistic statement?
I cannot believe that it will be that easy for the F-22!

Didn’t the INS Vikrant and its Alizes play an active role in the Indo-Portugal conflict?

Very nice pics
especially the F-7!
keep on posting

True
there is no reason to believe that the PAF would not be getting BVR missiles sometime in this decade, the indirect proof of this is the fact that the IAF is buying Phalcns and pushing reallyreally hard for the upgraded R-77.

Damn loads of Indian and Chinese authors 🙂

There are a lot of ethinic Chinese, Indians etc in NASA and other research organizations, that is the beauty of America and only in America can such people be successful, fortunately China and India are doing well, maybe one day they will make their peoples as successsful as their expats.

There seems to be a campaign by many morons against Russian equipment, just a few days ago there were people saying that a certain plane which is being developed by China (hint: its not the J-10) was equal and/or superior to the Su-30MK(I) etc

This is retarded, the Russian Tu-160 and 22M3s are highly advanced platforms that will make any Yankee captain piXX in his pants.

Tis true that its very tough to detect a CVBG but the Chinese do have spy satelites and subs to look for them, that does not mean that they will detect them but I assume that the Chinese are aware that they will have to detect the CVBG when the Taiwan issue boils up one day and they surely must be developing tactics and buying/developing the necessary equipment to at least be able to find the CVBG. Maybe they cannot do it today but by 2015….

Nice pics, I wonder if anyone has got some more pics of those F-16s. When was this demo held and what kind of planes articipated?
