Air Engagement of Operation Sindoor : Analysis

The Virupaksha cannot employ the r-37M.
We need whatever the Russians are giving. Sure it maybe less advanced but it has superior integration. What we really need to focus is on getting S band AEWCS and cooperative targetting capability. Get the B-net's on the su-57m.
And we need to divert all our investment in the Netra program. F-35 is out of the picture.
Our priorities should be
>Netra mk1a,mk2 and a mk3 concept
>Gandiv series and astra mk-4(triple pulse)
>License production of the su-57, su-35,al-41/51,r-37m and kh-101
>License production for the ge-404ins6.

You are mixing it too much. What is the benefits of Gandiv without Virupaksh? It's capabilities can not be exploited with other radars. We are doing great work in AI for fighter planes. It should also be incorporated in Su 57;to compensate for lower degree of stealth. That is why I say, buy just platform, EW, radar and weapons should be ours.
 
Big breaking from Bengaluru! First time ever, IAF chief ACM AP Singh spoken in Bengaluru on Op Sindoor n kills n kills by IAF! Great achievements for everyone



Most of the people in this forum seems to agree with his comment, "Aur Marnatha." :ROFLMAO:

So Indian aircrafts cheif had a gestation period of 3 months for delivery of the news 🤔
The news was already there, Common PAF doesn't operate invisible aircraft. The videos of people searching for the pilot and the big fire in the field are the indication of that. Anyway, we don't count the aircraft numbers of what we shot down. We know when we hit the Nur Khan base HVT, we finished half of the job.

Now, the statement by the air chief is not for a Pakistani to acknowledge, so you can just ignore it and concentrate on Aurangzeb's statement of gravity.

Why announced now ?

1. Orange top bragging of peace settlement while it's due to pak request.
2. Putins visit - all 6 air kill attributed to S400.

Unlike Pak , we had no necessity to announce then and there .. photos of visible destruction of pak facilities were available.

Pak had the necessity of setting narrative.

We are using it now..

While still holding some more cards - type of fighters that went down.

Plenty of Indian jets wreckage to show. Zero PAF wreckage anywhere.
 
Tell ur LGBT queer pilots to stop crashing F18s and F35s before commenting on other country's claims 😂.

Your own retired Marshall said Chusman and his colleagues were killed on the ground along with whatever was under that hangar. Want a reminder vid bud? ZeRo WrEcKage jaNAb.
 
The image of the S400 has taken a real beating in the UA war. Perhaps I'm just reading between the tea leaves but the release of this extremely flattering news timed just prior to Putins visit seems too much like a coincidence.
Soooo S400 joint production confirmed?? Maybe S500 JV??
It's taken a beating cuz systems like S400 are hijras infront of small FPV like drones and Russian defences against such drones are not upto the level. But Indias multi layered soft and hard kill solutions for FPV drones means we can better protect S400 from small drones.
 
BVRAAMS or no BVRAAMS even at the cost of losing aircraft we need to be flying over pakistan, its not just sheer psychological effect but they will need to divert more resources defending which in fact would have gone to buying offensive weapons. In the long run it is a effective mechanism as the cost to outcome is good. Defending our long border & large land area is prohibitively expensive.

Fighting an offensive war makes a lot of sense, even if we lose on foreign territory nothing is lost . A reason why pakistan keeps attacking us , its just probability of success needs to be only once or few times. But losing an defensive war means damage, loss of territory, requires more resources & men to defend, unequal treaties,100 % success rate defending...etc.
