oh yes, a pakistani report on mutiny in the ranks of the IAF. How credible.
Introduced in 1963? Well, not as old as the B-52 or other U.S.
models, but you'd think the IAF would have some newer planes by now.
Dear me, are you saying they dont?
I wonder what 'killed' those F-15C's of the UASF in Gwalior recently.
By the way, are you aware that the MiG-21 is still in production?
"The MiG-21 is not known for its radar or hauling capabilities, nor
for its target acquisition equipment
Well one would if one kept up with the news.
or range, but its known that in
many ways it was a pilot's plane. It doesn't have any computers or
fancy navigation equipment. It very much depends on the pilot and his
(hopefully) good training and experience."
Correct.
Refusing to fly a pilot's plane? Morale must be in the gutter if
young officers are declining flight time for any reason.
