Air Battle over Kashmir : MiG-21 Bison shoots down F-16

Russians are Flying Su 35 and have Deployed S 400 in Syria

Otherwise Turkey would be bombing All of Syria
but the questions remains the same does the russians jet have longer stick or avionics ,maybe syrians doesnot have awacs which provided data to f16 for the kill.the points remains that it has become a routine affairs that russiuans jets are getting shot down (no matter in whose hand they are) in this respect mig 21 shooting f16 is the only saving grace for russians
 
What would you suggest, can intelligent systems be implemented and trusted upon to identify the pattern whether scrambling jets and a slow buildup of adversary be recognized as a strike package over a time? Could an AI supported system be able to warn in advance?
@Falcon @randomradio

I don't think AI can do such a thing yet. Air traffic during a conflict is deliberately chaotic.
 
You cannot Call CCS meeting after you have been bombed

This is what exactly will happen.

Scenario will be like this:

On a calm evening of approaching winters around 1630hrs, amid high tensions, Pakistan scrambles
12 F-16 in a group of 3 each
16 Mirage 5 group of 4
16 JF17 grp of 4
16 Mirage III grp of 4
18 F7p grp of 3
Supported by AWACS over Isb and Sindh
to raid 3 Indian airbases and multiple army installations in Punjab J&K Rajasthan ,esp srinagar, pathankot , forward airbases in Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Indian airforce detects the multiple enemy aircrafts and scrambles

6 Mig 21 grp of 2 ,
6 Su 30mki grp of 2 , ( including 2 already airborne doing CAP)
A Mirage 2K grp of 4 ( already air borne over Rajasthan)
3 Rafale , 1 grp.

in the next 30 minutes of engagement 4 PAF JF17 and 5 F-16s locks down the ground targets and others engage in from standoff distance and conducts the raid on forward bases. And others engage with IAF with their BVRs and EW.

In this engagements, Pakistan loses 1 F16s to 3 Mig 21s and 2 Su 30 , Rafale knocks down 1 Mirage III
SAM are activated and it shoots down 1 FP7 flying close to IB.

IAF loses 1 mig 21 engaged with 4 Jf17 on VR engagement to Pakistani SAM. Mirage 2K continues the EW.

------------------------------------------------------
In next 12 hours

Rajnath : we condemn Pakistani act

there will be baithak at PM's house, what to do now.
----------------------------------------------------

LOC is activated , India shells forward posts, to build a narrative till then to prevent diplomatic fallout
----------------------------

By the time US and Canada intervenes amid Af Peace talks, Pakistan kidnaps an India and show it as capture of one Indian spy to make India look aggressive.
-----------------------------------------------------

Protest all over country in India, media diverts the topic to captured Indian spy.
------------------------------------------

And then back channel talks continue
-------------------------

Ram madav speaks, how bravely Indian pilots shot down PAF aircrafts

--------------------------

And once again we live happily ever after :)

That's quite true. Paf get aim120 in 2008 , what did IAF did nothing.

The best active seeker equipped missile available at the time to the IAF was the R-77.

Astra Mk1, RVV-SD, I Derby ER etc became available only after 2015 and are only now being operationalised.
 
Rather the IAF is creating a pro-Rafale narrative in order to get another batch of 36.

I think that if Trump is Re elected

Then US will put enormous pressure
For selecting a US plane in MMRCA 2.0

He will not just sit down quietly

Once you do such Big dramas like Ahmedabad and Howdy Modi., you also have to show some results in the form of
A Trade deal
 
yea because it already happened :p

The Whole Concept of Limited Area Limited Period War is A Useless Concept
In the Case of AIR POWER

Pakistan can send a 30 plane package On
A Daily basis and we will keep reacting
And Responding

The Answer lies in Seizing the Initiative
In Air Warfare , The FIRST mover always has an advantage especially when
The Distances are negligible being next door neighbors

For India it is important how it responds and when. Because Pakistan will be prepared to take India head on then and already expecting, the element of surprize will be gone, if India reacts with predicted pattern.

It's impossible. The F-16 and SH are simply far too inferior and pointless for the IAF's needs.

Instead there's plenty of other deals that can be signed without involving fighter jets. Especially UAVs and UCAVs. There's also helicopters, both current gen and next gen.

The answer lies in Escalation Dominance

For example if that day we had already authorised in Advance IAF to strike back
Immediately , then Pakistan would.have started trembling and crying

Nobody thought about it or planned about it

The Targets will.have to.allocated Before the Hostilities start

What about JSTAR

Basically we were NOT sure As to How will the Enemy react After Balakot

Therefore there was No Plan B

Now that our " MIND has been cleared "
We will have to make all Contingency plans

Now wait for the NEXT TIME
Modi will do something before 2024

Modi' s victory in 2019 means people support More action against Pakistan
 
I don't think AI can do such a thing yet. Air traffic during a conflict is deliberately chaotic.
Actually AI can do it quite effectively. Particularly in chaotic environment, AI and ML is far more effective than any human being. ML is extensively used to extract meaningful information from extremely noisy data.

Took his article and tore it up ... he is yet to respond on twitter. Don;t have time to write a point by point rebuttal as @nair knows why ... but trust me ... can blow holes and then some in his write up.

Oh yeah read that..... People assume that they can write anything and get away with it as the people who knows this in detail wont mention or deny it......
