Lca navy vis a vis mig29k

Crew for some reason had to land IN ALH MK3 in sea using its emergency floatation system (EFS)

Crew was rescued and the helicopter recovered

That really does not make sense. The Americans have repeatedly made it clear that they do not recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court and would invade it and rescue any American charged by the court.

From the last picture, I fear your country might have another Kuznetsov situation on its hands.

And use it if it suits them


That's the whole point of lol

Well this might be bad for it's reputation (the ALH mk3) when on the market.
What do you think about the SAAF maritime squadron getting them as replacement for it's AW-159 and oryx helicopters??

Is it just me or does anyone else believe !nd!ans are naturally born engineering wizards. Just take a look at how big, bold and beautiful the Vishakapatnam destroyer is. And this is just one of their many beautiful locally made defence assets.

Well depends

Imo reputation of weapons is the last thought in the mind of any serious end user, systems are selected based on evaluation not reputation, some might though , but than it's their business

It's the first time that naval ALH meet with a accident in more than a decade of operations in IN

And I don't consider accidents much of a big deal unless it was caused by deficiency in design and manufacturing , poor maintenance, error in SOP by pilots

Accidents will happen, the more you fly, the more the chances of something going wrong

Flying in diverse ind... conditions etc comes with it's own risks

Read something which had me in laughter

Seems a fellow in keny. who is self styled Jesus had to seek police protection after his followers insisted ( rightly so ) he be crucified so that he may rise from the dead

Pure comedy

What's the SAAF maritime squadron? AW-159 helis in the SAAF?
What's with the obsession with things SA?

Lol

The smoke thingy. The Kuznetsov heavy aviation cruiser was infamous for being an extremely smoky and polluting ship.

Of course, the ships in the image you uploaded are not as smoky as the Kuznetsov

All ships ( non nuclear ) emit smoke , every single one of them , and depending on factors will at times discharge denser smoke , especially at low speeds

What is problematic is if smoke is uncontrolled due to failure in machinery etc

Obsessions and other mental health issues are worrying, especially if left unattended.
May I suggest that you urgently seek professional help?

.

The average American pilot especially the Naval Fighter Aviators believe they're the best in the world and they're not far from the truth. Look at the level of training, flight hours, aircraft avionics and aircraft munitions.

Yes and no

Incase you didn't know IAF pilots annual flight hours is higher than that of USAF pilots

Avionics and muntions advantage definitely USAF

But than IAF gets to work with Russian , Israeli, French and Ind... avionics & muntions , if one was to consider it worthwhile then ok, otherwise also ok

Tactics USAF is own while IAF tactics are own mixed with which it considers best of both western and eastern world , introduces unpredictability in my opinion

Yet still USAF have been the trend setters for long and invested in tactics for long so I will give them the advantage

Having said that, in an aerial engagement between the IAF Su-30 and F-15(you didn't specify the variant but I'll say F 15C because it is purely air superiority ), like other modern air to air engagements, the first to detect the other before the merge will dictate the fight. The F 15C has an APG 63 V3 AESA radar which boasts of a detection range of 180 km compared to the N011M bars radar of the Su 30 with 200km. This might not really matter because ROE dictates use of AWACS in these kind of instances and also visual identification before engagement. So, it might just be settled in WVR.

I can't say who will kill whom bec as I always say things like this are unpredictable, so no point speculating

But as far as I know kinematic performance of Su30 is good, su30 is both a bomb/missile truck + dogfighter , but to enter dogfight it will need to sacrifice some of its heavy load

In theory atleast it makes sense detect first shoot first in bvr engagement bec u r not factoring in the jammers, su30 employs Israeli DRFM based jammers which will negate that advantage, WSO in the rear needs to earn his pay

As for AWACS depends on the what either side employs , phalcons with Israeli radar is no slouch

Here is when aerodynamics, speed and energy comes to play. The F 15C is faster at both higher and lower altitudes and has the ability to gain energy faster than the SU-30 mki. It has the ability to leave the fight if it is losing. The Su 30mki also has a higher wing loading which would affect its maneuverability against the F 15C.

1st kinematic performance is related to the payload especially sustained turn rate and acceleration

I am not aware of F15c kinematic specs and bec many of those specs are variable depending on the load , in my opinion it will be a exercise in futility to compare them with another aircraft, but than I leave it to u to decide

Tvc brings in lot of capabilities which in the right hands will be handful

About the Missiles and guns, the Aim 120, Aim 7 and Aim 9 are integrated to the Joint helmet mounted system which enhances the off bore sight ability of the F 15C, in fact the American missiles are more successful compared to the R 27, R 77 R73. I haven't heard of that from the Su 30mki but please correct me if I am wrong.

Su30 had hmd for donkey years , even the k versions
And on top of that IRST is organic to Su30

But than again I can't say whose is better , I will give the benefit of doubt to F15C atleast on paper


Missiles advantage I will give it to US atleast on paper, but than again it's easy bec it's not my ass or your ass in the line , russian philosophy of bvr engagement is unique they try to engage adversary by mixing up the shots with multiple types and su30mki will further complicate things by employing Iderby, Asraam ir guided which can be fired at bvr ranges , Astra series, python 5 which can hit targets behind the aircraft and even more funnier if they integrate mica series
