You mean this wonderful inspirational speechThis is to reduce some burden off their faltering economy
He was talking like the PoJK terrain ..... 2 roti se 1 roti and then to 2 1/2 roti
I used to follow this Saikat Datta on twitter a lot. He is known Modi hater(probably more than our Boxer Rajdip & his gang). In his Modi hate, he can go to any extent. I first un-followed him and later blocked to preserve my peace of mind. These were the guys who convinced me to stay away from Twitter but current conflict forced to be back (sigh).
If we see the history since days of Alexander and later Islamic invasions: we haven't lost because of those outsiders and their might but, it was always the case of one or more Jaichands aiding them which pegged us back. In this conflict also we have several Jaichands aiding the enemy, lets be alert and call them out at times to avoid any damage.

I feel this time Shekhar raised some good question. After Balakot air strike in the air skirmish, IAF was not able to punish these guys, Sukhoi was lack of quality BVR capabilities compared to F16, we did have this issue with quality over quantity, now we are planning to invest on Mig 29 which again will not add any capabilities. Why we are not upgrading our mirages with some Meteor and AESA radar.
This does not fit public domain information about the extent of GAGAN's geographical coverage.

News reporting in general suffered a lot from the Internet. First because it cut down their (paying) audience greatly, giving them less means to do fact checking and other quality control as well as their own investigative journalism; and secondly because the speed of social networks means that they also have less time to do any work.
The old timey way that a journalist would travel to some town where an event happened, and interview the locals. They may hear some fanciful tales but they'd stay long enough to sort through what they've got and do some validation and cross-checking, so the published article would be relatively accurate.
The modern way is that an unpaid intern trawls Twitter for info, copy-paste a few tweets that seem to be talking about subject matter, and then hit the "submit" button, before going back to writing a clickbaity listicle. "Ten things that you probably don't know!" "Seven lifehacks that will change your life!"
If you were to decide to do that right now, the first AESA-and-Meteor-equipped Rafales would still arrive long before the first re-upgraded Mirage would be ready for testing.
You'd better save money to buy more aircraft than send to re-upgrades what few Mirage I/TI you already have. While an aircraft is being upgraded, it's not available to the air force.
I agree with you, it may take some time but can these Mig 29 engage F16/JF17 with BVR or we are still talking about numbers here. and who knows these Mig 29 may need Israel EW suit and weapon packages as a retrofit. If MKIs are not able to engage in BVR since AIM 120C is a better missile than R77 we may need to upgrade our fleet asap. We will have the edge after Rafel that's for sure.
You can search on topic AIM 120C vs R77, we use Isreal system as an EW package since it has an effective Jammer against US missile seeker and radar and that's why we have no BVR casualties in the recent air skirmishes. But we couldn't shoot down any PAF fighter firing BVR missiles which may be due to various reason. This scenario will create an air dominance for some time till they are out of BVR missile which I think exactly what happened .we expect to have this BVR edge when we will have Rafale. if R77 out class AIM 120C we wouldn't have commented on this. Can Meteor perform as per expectation? we definitely get an answer...
BVR engagement can be hot and cold.. PAF have shot their AIM 120C from maximum effective distance. When MKIs detected missile launch, they turned cold (opposite direction to that of adversary) for evasion.. Had they went hot, chances of casualties may have raised. This engagement may have lasted for 3 to 4 min.. Its not that IAF being out ranged by PAF ATA missile per se, but there was no need to risk MKI for PAF mirages and f16s.
One thing to be noted that, when AIM120 C may have reached MKIs, it may had very little kinematic energy.. rendering it useless..
If recent info from my source is correct then Pakistani F-16 was stuck by 3 missiles, 2 from su30mki R77ve and one from wing co Abhinandan's mig21...☺
Dont we have the K-100 which has a range of at least 200 km, possibly 300–400 km. MKI's radar N011M too has a 400 km search range and a maximum 200 km tracking range too. So why do we say that the MKI cannot fire a BVR? Meteor too has similar range in excess of 300 km.
I have no idea what BVR we have in our inventory may be MICA, DERBY are the best in class BVR we have right now, Meteor is completely different technology what we know... it can take high G-turns, Ramjet engine with throttleable action with high kill probability and no escape zone. Defense tech is an evolving market what is best in class today may not be the same for the future that's why we need to work on indigenous technology so that we will be self-sufficient in the future.
Pakistani military has ordered local people people of #Jahoo #Awaran(Balochistan) to guard them, from each 3 people in a house 1 person has to guard #Pakistani military camps and outposts. In terms of any attack on military the guard will get executed.
BABA update-
This is a great morning on the Mountains of the North. It seems, this mountain ranges slept from centuries are desperate to wake up.The noise of silence is creating fear in the minds of the enemies. It seems the mountain can change the position any time.
