Is the EA-18G cleared for export ?

Yeah , thats just one of scooter’s fantasies.India wont sign the cismoa.In case of the hercs that meant IAF didnt get such simple things like uhf/vhf comms modules and IFF [even the ground-air CNR:rolleyes:].Who knows what crucial stuff the US wont provide with the vanilla shornet let alone high end dedicated jamming variant.

Although the IAF acm did make some public comments about no cismoa no problem for the IAF or some words to that effect , I think chances of selecting US birdies is very low.

Amazing pictures of the CdG

Libya Conflict May Spur Sales of Battle-Proven Eurofighter

A pro-typhoon article with slight poke at the rafale , gripen and the F 15!

From the above PAC Kamra Link, it is amusing to note that they list this
as the JF 17’s Key feature ! 😮 :p

Haha nice find 😀

actually, if you shoot at a flying aircraft with a gun, you won’t have linear pattern, or closely spaced holes… they’ll be spread all over the place, since you shoot at a fast moving target with a gun that vibrates, and is affected by a certain amount of dispersion by construction.

it’s only in movies that you see things like a neat line of holes next to each other

Not always.

Antony, pull the plug on the MMRCA
YES AND ORDER THE F 35 MISTER SHUKLA ?

Totally agree with Ajai Shukla there.
No need to order any F 35 , but even if they are on the list , its much better than having a F 16 or F 18 .

Nope. Check out some other photo’s of crashed aircraft – you’ll see similar holes. Torn-out rivets, sheet metal burnt except where it was rigged to airframe structures, it’s pretty common.

I’m not saying the loss of 91-0304 is an accident, but you’re fabricating evidence here.

I have been looking at some wreckage photos..and there are all types of damage to the skin …but I didnt exactly find a similar linear pattern with small holes , it seems odd..like hits from an aircraft cannon/gun.

Its unlikely though , because then gaddafi would have been running naked all over town with a trumpet.
