Exactly. we have nothing in our mind other than the battle we fight. Not even our family.

But Su-30 MKI pilots holding back, for politics, while their colleagues are fighting and probably dying.. is a bit too much...
Only 2 MKIs and 2 Mirage 2000s held the fort , fending away the hordes
Therefore the F 16s at the Lower level
Tried to Ingress but were Jumped upon
By MiG 21s , and then they just tried to bolt away
In case you have noticed ACM Dhanoa
Has been Effusive in his praise for Mig 21
Since that day
I never said pilots did, why will pilots create narrative? Narrative is being created by top brass for Rafale (as per argument of randomradio). It was argumentative don't get too worked up about it.
This was the First Air Battle after 1971
Mistakes had to happen
What ever might have been the results
I am sure ,even the IAF must be happy
That it got a great opportunity to validate
Its Training , Equipment and SOPs
Why does US go to war regularly and why
Did Russia fight the Syrian war
Only to get better
I have flown fighters and have also known about Mig-21Bis which has more restrictions in flying than earlier variants of Mig-21. We used to wonder as to how can a pilot fly this aircraft which only had limitations in every area of performance. Sea Harrier also had similar restrictions but only when we were below 120kts of speed and used TVC. In normal flying, se4a harrier was just like anyother aircraft that I had flown. But with nozzeles down, it was very difficult machine.
Dhanoa has flown just this aircraft. he knows it inside out better than the russians and anyone on earth,
Of course we need more Rafales
This Conflict has shown that Future conflicts will be Swift and Short , just one or Two days
Rafale is needed Not only to Breach their defences But Also knock out their Strike packages
Yes.. Dhanoa's comments about Rafale were disingenuous, when going by the ton of money spent on India specific enhancements, one feels that the Rafale would only be deployed in a full on war, probably on a nuclear bombing mission. IAF would not risk their kohinoors in a skirmish...
Rafale would Not be doing CAPs obviously
That would be best done by Tejas with Derby ER
Rafale would be used to breach their defences , because it is Better than Su 30
In Both SEAD and Offensive Counter Air Missions
If Rafale comes close to their border
Their F 16 will stay far away because of
Meteor missile
All three were entirely independent incidents. The MKI pilots couldn't control what happened with the helicopter or the Mig-21. The Mig-21s were the responsibility of the GCI personnel, and the helicopter was the responsibility of the SAM crew.
And a pilot has failed in his training if he makes decisions based on emotions.
.. An off topic comment
I see the Sanaatan traditions of hair splitting is very much alive out here. No such narratives from across the border. Well & truly depicts the facts as it exists to all those who think Pak Punjab is our long lost brother who's gone astray. Meanwhile, would love to see further hair splitting on the issue.
P. S - as of now, I was under the impression the only hair splitting occured among various Sunni sects in Islam on takfiri, kuffar, etc.

Our people are dejected that we cannot declare Victory yet
The enemy might be gloating on the Internet
But they know that this was like the Stalemate of 1965
And they also know that 1965 was followed by 1971
That is why I am happy
The events that have been Set in Motion now will Lead to a Certain defeat for them
We have to keep preparing
Few days back Pakistani channels were cribbing about the prolonged stand off at border which increased their defense budget by 25-30%. Their biggest fear is if this standoff continues for 1-2 years, Pakistan will go bankrupt. I am not sure whether Modi will allow this heightened tension at border to continue even if he wants to do that. Remember there is always international pressure and India is not in a position to completely ignore them.
Regarding revenge, I would certainly prefer a slow and painful death for Pakistan with minimal damage to India. A full fledged war does not suit India's narrative and the cost is too high from India's economy prospective. Pakistan does not have much to loose, but we do.
So if India's response is reactive in nature, it's not a bad strategy. After every terrorist incident just keep increasing the intensity of our response and nobody in the world is going to complain. In the mean time keep funding the groups in Balochisthan, Sindh and FATA and increase the pressure on Pak army. The big elephant in the room is the budget of Pak army and India should go for a multi pronged strategy to increase this. At some point of time the Pak Army will loose support of general public due to this financial pressure and that will be the beginning of end of Pak Army.
No war is going to get us there. Even after the 1971 win, did Pak army go down?? No, they came back strong with terror funding in Punjab and development of Nuclear weapons. I would love to see Pakistan going down and if that is possible without death of hundreds of Indian soldiers, then why not??

No wonder we did couple of Brahmos-A tests just before Baba tweeted Tarbela. Pretty cool. All of the DRDO's toys are now out from the lab and roaring into the fields. Great!! In order to have a F-16 sqn go up in flames, we must have used several Brahmos-A toys
Why did the statement about airspace restrictions being removed come from IAF.. Should have come from DGCA... Is it a taunt to PAF
It is an open challenge to Pakistan to dare a repeat of Feb 27
