So PAF is likely to acquire FC-31 🤔? Let's talk, The 80s was surely a golden period for the Indian Air Force, which was in fact caused by the actions of our western neighbor. The acquisition of US origin F-16 4th gen ac by PAF had triggered a swift response of Indian MoD(1/7)

No surprise at all, the USAF F-35A remained integrated with Luneberg lens throughout the journey to India, and also during flying display. These are radar reflectors which emit the aircraft in radars, so that the original RCS remain classified.

Summary: A COAST GUARD aircraft scared the crew of heavily armed frigate in the international waters while PN Air Defence was, as usual, AWAKE. Not surprising, since we know what happened to heavily armed Pak Special Forces when they met Indian Farmers.

RARE SNAP ALERT! The legacy Indian Air Force had some of the most beautiful camo patterns to some of the most weird looking ones. Here is a MiG-21Bis "Vikram" featuring a two tone Blue camouflage pattern, resembling the standard Mirage 2000 scheme.

#DidYouKnow In the 80s, despite acquiring the F-16A/B "Fighting Falcon", Pakistan🇵🇰 was also fascinated by Mirage 2000 acquired by India🇮🇳 in response. The F-16 supplies were halted due to sanctions in 1990 by the US🇺🇸, and PAF left with strength lower than expected...(1/4)

Speaking practically, HAL Helicopter fleet (Dhruv/Rudra/Prachand) has a wider scope of success in foreign markets and not LCA Tejas. They should be marketed more aggressively to nationS looking for such segment. For Tejas, it should be focused to fulfill IAF requirement first.

As an Indian motorsports fan, watching tricolour cruising on the race track is the best feeling in the world. Seen here are some fine examples: 1. Mercedes-AMG(Get Speed): DTM 21 2. LMP-2(Team India): 24 hrs Le Mans 21 3. VJM06(Force India): F1 13 4. A1 Team India: A1 GP 05

Did You Know? The actual full-fledged development of LCA was only initiated in 1993 after final design freeze (in 1990) and funding allotment. 8 years later in 2001, the jet took its 1st flight. Comparing it with others: 1. J-10: 1986-1998 (12 years) 2. EFT: 1983-1994 (11 years)

People from a country that never designed an aircraft on its own will never understand. But anyway, fyi, Tejas is carrying Gsh-23-2 even before IOC. And here's a LSP-8 on approach.

I come from an India that mass produced Asia's first supersonic fighter bomber, . . . But I also come from an India that disbanded similar state-of-the-art projects to prefer imports.

Interesting pattern: In the 80s, IAF inducted two platforms: MiG-29B and Mirage 2000H in response to PAF acquisition of F-16A Block-15 Now, PAF is inducting two platforms: JF-17A Block III and J-10C(P) in response to IAF acquisition of Rafale F3R(I)
