If they were superior, they would want a fair fight to prove it. Then they could flaunt it. Until then... :down: :nope:

Because they want Congress to fund the F-22 and F-35 as fully as possible. And they can't very well go to Congress for money saying, "Yep, the stuff we have STILL kicks ass."

PD

Taking a dive! What you say makes sense. If that's the case, it's gotta be hard for the jet jockey's to take one for the team, then look the Indians in the eye as they laugh about their victory. :hmm:

well i want help with the india and chinease navy so see my new post

No one here has mentioned the Indian Airforces safety and aircraft maintenance record. The IAF has had a pretty poor air safety record. Indeed there was an article in Janes Defence weekly a while back highlighting an internal IAF report which concluded that well over half of all IAF crashed could be attributed to pilot error. In fact I think the figure was 70% of crashes were due to pilot error. The remainder of the crashes were mostly mechanical failure. Janes Defence weekly highlighted the fact that maintenance programs on IAF aircraft were substandard and that many of the IAF's aircarft were ageing relics of the Cold War such as the Mig-21 and Mig-23.

So I would say that the quality of Indian pilots on the whole is not great. And if not to further highlight that the main blame is on Indian pilots and thier training there were seven crashes involving the Jaguar which is a good aircraft still. So in summary I think the Indian training program has much to answer for. For the IAF to simply blame the problem on an increased OPTEMPO (operational tempo) is just an attempt to dodge and shirk away from the issue which is pilot training.

For the record between 1991 and 2001 there were 221 IAF aircraft crashes in which 100 pilots or servicemen died.

that is bad they can afford to train thier forces they can afford to update to newish systems but yet they choose not to.

if you must know india places more emphasis on its navy than the army or air force the air force comes second in the ranking and army third

india is the sole super power shall we say of the entire indian ocean hence why its got a large navy but realy i dont think it needs such a big force

That's what I meant by "mission kill", which given the flight profile of the P-700 (lofting upward and diving on it's target's deck durng terminal phase) one hit could easily accomplish this against a Nimitz. However the reason it would take multiple hits missiles to actually sink a carrier is because these missiles strike their target well above the waterline.

The sound it makes when the particle beam hits you is "bbzzap!", I think.

Indians call MIG-21 as "flying coffins"

India's Air Force....Ya right...Keep on trucking. :up:
