Just trying to give some technical insights. The most Neutral defence account on earth.

Back in the 90s somebody took a GBU-15 EO bomb, bolted a rocket motor under it so the jet didn't have to fly into the defenses. called it the AGM-130 Bunker Buster Bomb. F-15s and B-52s carried it, then USAF retired it around 2013, and nothing since has done the same job.

Russian Su-27 intercepting a US Navy's EP-3E over the Black Sea (2018). The Flanker made a high-speed pass directly in front of the recce a/c (within ~5ft distance), followed by another close pass with its ABs engaged during a banking turn. The intercept lasted ~25 minutes.

Ejection from a Su-25 through the eyes of a pilot. This is probably the first time in history that such footage of an ejection has been filmed in combat conditions, and at an extremely low altitude.

Huhh, so this is what a supersonic sea-skimming target interception looks like (Unseen IR cam Footage from US navy). USS Philippine Sea & USS Mason engaging a GQM-163A Coyote target using AEGIS combat system and SM-2 interceptors during SWATT training in the Atlantic.

Spectacular start of MiG-29 Fulcrum. This feels so unreal. Can’t believe humans actually built this, the precision and engineering are just insane.

Landing a Tu-22M3 bomber from Cockpit view. Notice how the pilot has to manage a blind, high-nose attitude while manually cross-referencing an absolute wall of legacy analog gauges. No compt screens, no FBW assist, just pure mechanical hydraulics & heavy control yoke inputs.

MiG-23's main gear: Peak complication.. The wings swing, so they couldn’t put the gear in them. also, Its fuselage is narrow, but they still needed a wide track for rough strips. so designers built this multi-pivot hydraulic system that folds everything into almost no space.

PAF's core philosophy and primary mission is the air defence of 🇵🇰. apparently, they publish books every decade reiterating this doctrine. Fair enough. but where was that AD when IAF struck multiple PAFBs, terror infra and radar installations last year?

Su-57 produces a distinctive high-pitched whistle compared to other 5th-gen fighters. This unusual acoustic signature is believed to be linked to airflow disturbances within its engine intakes, particularly around RBS, combined with the acoustic characteristics of its AL-41F-1

Why was HAL not held accountable for all the delays? "We lost 21 pilots due to a basic trainer, the HPT-32. Its survivability rate is worst then a Ambassador car, and IAF gets all the blame. Also the IAF has lost total of 17 personnel in testing Indian made-aircrafts." "IAF pays the price in Blood." -Former IAF Chief ACM B.S. Dhanoa.

"INS Vikrant’s CBG is too small, has very few ships and its fighter wing of MiG-29Ks are old. It cannot be compared to a USN/European CSG. PN has the capability to handle Vikrant easily." -Says Retd. Pakistani 🇵🇰 Navy Cdr Anees Khan.

Real Dogfight Footage: Rafale vs. F-22 Raptor in a USAF & Armée de l'Air Exercise (Close Combat) 🤯 Before you make assumptions, I would like to clarify a few things: -The raptor lost sight and tried to call off the fight bcoz…. this is training and they don’t want to crash. You can watch him fly level and straight for a long time. (There was a break down in communication as well). -The other thing to add, is the raptor pilot is not allowed to show the full capability of the raptor in a training situation. -In fact, the pentagon has come out to say after training overseas raptor pilots must be retrained because they can pick up bad habits. -Last but not least, you would never get close enough to a raptor. In the fight it was designed for, it would clown almost everything (Consider this as a bonus point😉) Share your thoughts 🤔

As per retd. IAF 🇮🇳 Sgt. Bhale Singh, the IAF fighters deployed DRFM (digital radio frequency memory) jamming to deceive PL-15E missiles fired by PAF fighters (J-10C/JF-17 Blk-III) during Op Sindoor. Due to DRFM, instead of seeing a single aircraft, the missile's seeker was presented with multiple "Ghost Targets", means false radar returns generated by capturing, modifying, and retransmitting enemy radar signals. actually, this deception can make it extremely difficult for a missile to discriminate the genuine target, causing it to lose track or pursue a false one. The Rafales, which were equipped with their advanced SPECTRA EW-suite, likely played a key role in jamming J-10Cs radar signals. As, rafale is specifically designed to detect, jam, deceive, and counter radar guided threats. What do you think? 🤔
