  5. Indian Jaguars to be re-engined

    Yeah, IAF Jags carry over wing Magic IIs IAF has specialised Maritime Strike variant of the Jaguar, designated as Jaguar IM. It carried the Agave radar on the nose and it looks much different than the standard strike variant. There were reports that these IMs the Agave radar was replaced by Israeli EL/M-2032 radar. As for the strike variants(IS/IB), they used Atils II for dropping LGBs., now they use Litening II LDPs. New pit: Refuel probe:
  6. Indian Jaguars to be re-engined

    The Jaguars were manufactured until very recently. IAF had placed an order for new Jaguars manufactured by HAL..some two seaters & some single seat strike variants. Check pics of those new upgraded DARIN II IAF Jaguars..Notably the cannon on the starboard side has been removed.
  7. It may have been better if you had taken permission from the original author before using using the decals
  8. IAF Hunter Skin

    There was Indian AF 20 Sqdn skin in AD's Hunter package. Ant did an Indian AF "Thunderbolts" demo team skin as well. Not sure where it is hosted though. Wait for the Indo-Pak mod to be released, it will have accurate markings & serial nos. of all IAF Hunter F.Mk.56 & F.Mk.56A airframes that served with the IAF.
  9. yeah...very handy Just got an idea to represent all PAF A-5C sqdns.Thanks for the skin & hard work Firefox .
  10. May their souls rest in peace. The last IAF An-32 crash was in 1990. IT may take some time to find the wreckage since it is believed to have crashed in thick jungles in bad weather.

  13. Indian AF An-32 crashes

    AN-32 induction started in 1984. Upgradation of the fleet was proposed but no action was taken. The first An-32 crash took place on 22 March 1986 killing 17 on board. Three days later, an An-32(K-2729) on ferry flight from Russia to India crashed in the Arabian Sea. In that crash, US Navy ships were out in force searching the same area without revealing why(rumours had it then that it was MAC with an USN a/c). An-32 was also involved in a freak accident during the mid 90s. There was case of the navigator getting sucked out when his bubble window gave way. As the navigator wasn't wearing the chute (case in most of transport a/c), it resulted in the fatality. This was when the a/c was enroute to Leh from Chandigarh. Two An-32s were lost in a MAC during a paradrop exercise in 1992. In 1999 near the Indo-Pak border in Kashmir, an AN-32 was hit by a Pakistani stinger which resulted in loss of one engine, it made a safe landing however.
  14. Indian AF An-32 crashes

    Nope, it crashed in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
  15. Kidney stones, anyone?

    I know how you must have felt. My kid brother, who is 24 years old, had kidney stone problem last year. He is an engineer with the Merchant Navy. He had this problem while his ship, an oil tanker, was enroute from New Zealand to India. For 10-12 days on the voyage, he was in severe pain. He said the pain got unbearable sometimes. None of the crew could do anything to help him. He was on painkillers. He could not sleep on the bed, only sleeping on the bare floor in his room helped him a bit. It got so worse that the used to faint sometimes. he was lucky that he did not faint when he was working with the heavy machinery in the engine room. Getting up, he would not know how he got there. He used to get blood in his urine. While there were thoughts of evacuating him from the ship on a helicopter when they neared Malaysia, he himself said no as he felt the pain reduced a bit. Once he reached India, we had tests conducted which confirmed that he had kidney stone. Eventually with medicines and a little bit of traditional Indian medicine helped him recover from it without any operation.

  19. Su-30MKI crashes, pilot killed

    yeah , the same K-36DM ejection seats.
  20. Su-30MKI crashes, pilot killed

    The aircraft belonged to No.30 Sqdn "Rhinos". The sqdn was undergoing its annual DASI(Directorate of Air Staff Inspection) and Wg Cdr Narah was the inspector. The ill fated Su was a part of a four aircraft formation which was flying at 20,000 feet when suddenly the aircraft started oscillating wildly and the a/c went into an uncontrollable spin pointing to some structural failure. I swear by our dear dog, Ma, I am safe: officer on crashed Sukhoi
