Fire BVR missiles instead of having to hang back far enough to stay out of the reach of Pakistan's own BVR missiles.
You mean "Getting damaged"?MKI did nothing. Mig-21 ended up doing all the damage.
What's interesting is they probably used their best pilots for the job and still showed poor BVR discipline even after having had superior missiles for the last 10 years.

1 3rd gen jet for the price of 1 4th gen jet is pretty good, I'd say.
Well English is not my First language, i tell this even to my English colleagues... So what else you have to say about the question i raised?
No..Mahaan..Maha Shakti..Shoopah Pawah..Shoppah Rich Bharat.. Got defeated by a country 1/7th of the size and a military who has 1/5th the budget.
Mate, your jihadi madrassa that used to teach young men to blow themselves up is now teaching school children. If that's what you call defeat, then you are more than welcome to defeat us many, many more times.
Indian rafales are coming with low band jammers. Whats the advantage of low band jammer? Whats the origin of these jammers, Israeli or french? Will it be a poded version as carried under weapons station by growler or will it be an augmented spectra? Can any senior member clearify. One thing is for sure iaf wants rafale to do a future balakot as depicted from the need for towed decoys and jammers. It will take over the role from mirages 2k. If not for shabby defence procurements and quagmire ridden mmrca deal we would have been atleast be flying few squadrons of rafale.
Stealth planes, can be seen with a combination tech using low band radars, would make sense to block such devices from coming to know your presence by jamming if need arises.

Far better to get R-77-1 or even better K-77M.
But its not really an emergency.Range is approx same for both missiles.AIM-120 is a bit more reliable.R-77 is not battle tested.If Pakistanis want to waste missiles by blind firing at max range thats their poor training telling.Plus there is question of ROE whether you shoot at targets accross the loc.With the elta jammer aim-120 can't do anything at long range.The israelis have the amraam for long ,as do some of their technically advanced adversaries and the elta jammer is designed to beat it.Chinese electronics on sd-10 stands even less of a chance.We will see how new rumored chinese missile performs.

Low band radars? Or u meant low band jammers. Is their any examples of low band jammers. From what i have found in net growlers carry low band jammers but iam not sure about it. Iam confounded cause it is mentioned in ISE that it includes low band jammers and improvements of spectra. Now my querry is that a low band jammer is a part of spectra ew or will be a separate poded instrument?
Complete and total hoax. Never believe anything about the Rafale that Jon Lake wrote. Again, think: why would Qatar pay to train exchange officers?
It's not necessarily poor discipline. You don't necessarily use weapons to kill the enemy, you can also use them to control where the enemy can go. This is the concept behind suppressive fire. So here the PAF spent a few missiles to prevent the Su-30MKI from getting close enough to threaten them. If the MiG-21 did not jump out from below the mountain ridgeline, the PAF strike team would have been free to do whatever they wanted because they were successfully deterring the Sukhoi from interception.
Just trying to understand the line in the article "Pakistani exchange officers" - this is called a fake now - but this article was posted in feb - why not call it a fake then?
Still this is the same wrt to the UAEAF - where its calmed that most Frames are flown by Pakistani pilots - which is false as they were at a time just instructors , now they are emirati instructors
