No man. Just look at exercises involving Rafale, F-22 and Typhoon. Not only fanboys on internet, but their respective AF have tried to one up the other.
Haven't see Il78MKI too, it was supposed to go too.I have seen lots of our jet pics by now, but not seen f15 yet, maybe failed to identify, am very bad at that
basically same as putting up some f35 posters sort of effect.
Indian Mig-29 UPG are a different breed compared to Ukrainian Mig-29s. With Astra 1 and 2, their lethality shall increase several times. Their EW system is already cutting-edge.Hope people realise its just for show (assuming this is not half baked report after all) & not actual offer in mrfa as some overjoyed souls are shouting from rooftop almost
In the actual work, IAF is completely at a standstill now in procurement, despite losing a mig21 & navy losing a fulcrum last year. Those mig29 are the ones that worry me the most. Its a good jet but in Ukr using these are coming up well short against modern jets.
If only we could redesign the intakes that shine bright in IR and the Rd33 , maybe adding good composite panel to the airframe.
Nothing is perfect, but they are still very dangerous jets. That's why IAF was looking to procure 21 more. But no updates now on that front.

Yup RD-33 series 3 engines are very good with around 4000 hour service life.
