Pakistanis DEMOLISHING entire Building hit by India 
Operation Sindoor: Aftermath
- Thread starter Defc0n
- Start date
Kuwaitis lost 3 fighter jets on ground. And some still are obsessed with only air to air combat in today's day and age.

Good luck thinking anyone with low AD coverage and stockpile is gonna survive this.

A brief overview of the scale of operations by PA along the border.
It's almost a year & paizaans are still unable to repair damage to the hanger at bholari...... People can imagine what happened those planes parked inside...... Minor damage my a$$
Why didn't the opposition and the media in the USA raise any questions about the aircraft losses? Yet during Operation Sindoor, everyone seemed so focused on the aircraft losses instead of the actual objective.
Because Rafale shotdown was a shock to our entire defence ecosystem including GOI since it was hyped as an invincible silver-bullet that could defeat Chinese J-20 with ease or break advance A2/AD network using magical "active-cancellation". Did anyone talk about Heron/Mig-29UPG. loss or care? It was all about Rafale. Plus our opposition is led by Pappu, what else to expect
Again, nobody is really discussing the failures or opportunities against the fifth-generation fighters, which are marketed also as a silver bullet, but they aren't. In a non-contested airspace... against weak air defenses, they haven't performed well. I'm curious about what the Chinese J20 will achieve in contested airspace. The attack on the F-35 shows that every technology has its vulnerabilities, and with stronger passive tracking and a hybrid passive seeker, you could potentially lock onto any fifth-gen fighter. Hope project Kusha will bring a passive tracking and engaging system. We should have worked on the ASTRA IIR (Imaging Infrared) version with a two-way data link for mid-course updates.Because Rafale shotdown was a shock to our entire defence ecosystem including GOI since it was hyped as an invincible silver-bullet that could defeat Chinese J-20 with ease or break advance A2/AD network using magical "active-cancellation".

EOTS has already been introduced in the Akash-NG.
Just last year, a test was conducted wherein an aerial target was engaged & destroyed by the Akash-NG using purely EOTS.
It has a tracking range of 45km.
45km is a bit too small to engage with fighters but it will be really good for drones/missiles(stealthy ones)
We need to have a minimum A2A missile engagement range exceeding that of the PL-17 and G2A missiles with a range exceeding the S-400 40N6 range with passive tracking, or else you are missing the first kill opportunities. You don't need to lock the target to launch the missile; we just need to guide the missile with the data link to the target coordinates. The final phase will use the seeker.
Astra IR project is shelved for now.
Ground based IRST do have plenty of problem(especially atmospheric clutter/clouds etc.), so 45 kms for starters is good. Range would increase incrementally in future variants.
We are procuring R-37M to increase our aerial A2/AD network along with countering various Chinese VLRAAMs.
I think at this point all these minor damage claims should be put in the bin. The more one looks at the SAT images and interpretations of them over the months, the more they should question all such claims made by ISPR. Strikes in the Iran conflict had yielded enough information about what kind of damage a 300-400kg warhead can caused when mated to a cruise missile or an ALBM/ALCM. All this talk of skewed BDA being done in India's favour propagated by the PA fan boys is nonsense and should be treated with the disdain it deserves.
Does Dassault pay moolah to INC? Cuz Lockheed Raytheon Boeing pay millions to both sides in America. They all fight like pigs in Congress to make them set up factories and research facilities in their respective states.
And there was a time in our country when ABV supported both Tejas and Su-30MKI program despite being in opposition. Rahul Gandhi is an anti-national person. It is clear with all his antics.
If we see the current government has done nothing but delay the engine development program for years: just delays, delays, and more delays. There's no funding for the test facilities... Sure, they're moving forward with KDE and GHATAK, but we're really short on test facilities. I don't get what's holding the MOD back from approving the funds for the indigenous R&D program; the approval process is still very slow. Fingers crossed for Project Kusha, hoping to see some real progress soon.
