Indian Air Force: News & Discussions

C-390 won't work for Indian needs because India needs to have airlift capabilities in the mountains. That's where the most pressing needs are. India has already vast wide connected railroads and roads. It's just in the mountains that IA has a hard time getting there by road.

If hot/high performance is crucial and C-390 does not meet the requirement, no C-390 then? How many types does India operate at the moment that meet requirements for providing airlift capacity in the mountains?

Speak anti - India and false charges, then two days later deny it, is highly stupid on the part of Trudeau.

He should be prosecuted.

He was pleasing his Khalistani voters.

AFAIK, they mostly manufactured products related to Wind turbines.

There's a bit more of a threat than just some hacking or data breach.

There are multiple ways in which you can degrade the air power of your adversary. You can target it before it takes off by destroying runways and hardened shelters. You can destroy it onces it takes off using a plethora of SAMs and AAMs.
But if you share a land border with the adversary and have a competent espionage unit then you can also try the most cost effective method...target the pilots "kinetically". Pilots as considered to be more valuable than an aircraft as it takes months to just get one type certified, atleast an year to be proficient in combat.

Just few days ago GUR found the pilot of one specific Tu-22M3 that was involved in a missile attack on a residential building, tracked and eliminate him...INSIDE Russia.

Why would airforce guys use uber for official travel? During leisure travel they may.. AFAIK air force on-duty phones are diff from personal phones.. if not there are countless other apps on personal phone that can share the data which are worse than uber.. an apple or Google is enough.. data policy is non existent.. Anybody know about our OS if deployed?

Tejas with 2x JDAM-ER training rounds or as colloquially called; Winged JDAM

Spoiler

Also as a bonus we have the weirdest take from...obviously our very own AlphaDefence

Powered-JDAM uses a more robust airframe like structure that wraps around the bomb body to better handle all the forces as opposed to regular JDAM-ER where the wing kit is attached using hardware store like hose connector. Moreover given the fact that it has a turbojet engine and fuel tank, the overall length of Powered-JDAM becomes almost double of the Mark-80 series bomb it's attached to.

And also 80km is pretty much the range of a regular JDAM-ER; for powered JDAM it's almost 500km.

Plain vanilla winged JDAM, not powered.
