Tejas is still in development. We will have to wait and see the end product and the numbers it will be ordered. And I think it is still a kind of wetdream to write about bombing inside Pakistan. India is not close to that capability if you understand both the real response power of China and Pakistan. Sweeping was maybe possible when India had Mig25 running like crazy over Islamabad but these days they cannot even cross miles over the border without meeting opponents or SAM’s. You do remember that the “mighty” Su30 run back to its airfield after being photogrpahed by oudated block15’s? I guess we can keep Pakistan out of the scenario. 😉

Care to post sources about this “mighty” claim or is this one of your wet dreams ?

like your other wetdream , “atleast one Pakistani is sitting in a MKK now” :rolleyes:
You never backed that mighty claim of yours with any source !

For your info. Atleast one PAF pilot is training at the moment on a MK…

Interesting. Do you have any source to back up on that ?

@ the Gigantic order bit : it (42 A/c order) is in addition to 230 MKIs …
270 MKIs is big enough right ? 🙂

Also, can you also give a source to your claim that the MKIs were NOT allowed to use their radars ?! 😮

Nirav wins the Non Sequiter award for Spring 2010.

If I untangle what was said, the US provides Pakistan with air to air missiles because it doesn’t hand over a terrorist leader to them?

:rolleyes:

Moggy

Err …. It means that IF Pakistan Hand over Osama to US, the GWOT would be over and US would get out of Afghanistan ASAP..
It is in Pakistans interest to keep him alive, and keep getting American “aid” ( Military and financial ) to help them fight the “War on Terror” …

It is in this context i said the bit about AMRAAMs …
Well, they even signed up for delivery of Oliver hazard Perry frigates … Must be for the Sea borne Taliban …

If Pakistan were to handover Osama to the Americans, how would they go about arming their forces ?
How would they get the much needed AMRAAMs to fight the War On Terror ? 😀

Wonder how the Taliban/Terrorist Airforce fares against the “AMRAAMs” !! 🙂

Vayu Shakti is being telecasted on DD National if possible somebody record it

The commentator said the An-32 dropped 10 [?] 1000 lb bombs @ a simulated target …
Another heavy load was a Su-30 dropping 26 250 KG bombs on a target . 😎

Pretty impressive it was … the whole firepower demo .. managed to view it live …

Also, the Picture taken by the Reconnaissance Sukhoi gifted to the President at teh conclusion of the Demo was spot on … 😎

and so was the FLIR feed by the UAVs ..

The Sarang (ALH Dhruv ) team was also present at the demo .

All in all, impressive firepower demo 🙂

And just as often it starts with someone dragging in stuff like the JF-17 or J-10 just to show how superior the LCA is…

Mind you, we hàve been strict on deleting offending messages, and we hàve been generous with infractions and (temporary) bans. Yet for some reason these don’t seem to work: IAF (and PAF) threads almost by definition deteriorate in cheap p!ssing contests. The rate in which those threads are flocked by posters means that the speed in which they deteriorate is way quicker than for us mods to clean them up. I’m sorry, but we do have more fruitful things in life than cleaning up subcontinental unpleasantries.

There is a lot of cleaning up in your collective act to be done, the good ones notwithstanding.

Individual punishments and post-removals appearantly don’t work. Perhaps the threat of having your work removed does.

DovinR, we do not teach anyone. No moderator would care if you come from the Indian subcontinent, from antarctica, or from another planet for that matter.

I’m not too sure If that applies to all Moderators Frank ..
Arthur,from the looks of it, seemingly shows a dislike for subcontinental threads .. Indian ones to be specific …

In the post that I have quoted of Arthur, it seems that the “subcontinental” threads are the only ones which get into trouble on this board …
All the other threads on this board never have any issues …. :rolleyes:
Its strange because this is what SOC had to say in the earlier ‘General Warning’

There has been a pretty large upswing in the nationalistic, flame-baiting BS in various threads, be they related to certain Eurocanards, certain neighboring adversaries, or certain other nations with large populations.

So if according to Arthur, if he feels the need to threaten the removal of the good work of posters to prevent threads from going down, it should apply uniformally across the board, and not just selectively to “subcontinental topics”

And also, @

Of course it needs no further explanation that what happened to this thread, might happen just as well to any other thread dealing with the better known sensitive topics.

Would you kindly specify which exact “better known sensitive topics” you are referring to ?
Being Specific would help ..

[CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION]A way to get things working normally, I think, would be to appoint more Moderators.
That way, the existing Mods can also get their workload reduced and not get too stressed … [/CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTION]

They mean Iran, North Korea, China, generally. (or so I presume). Iran when Israel/US launches their denuking attack, North Korea never know when they do what, China if Taiwan declares independence. In the event that Pakistan becomes an Islamic state, that too would join the list.

But isnt Pakistan an Islamic state already ?
