i think USAF relies too much on there Poorly constructed Computer systems (Windows XP :lol), they should start using abit of there own ability to identify targets at-least Identify a target that is in WVR, i can understand BVR situations.

 

[XEROX]

windows XP - what an Atrocity

 

[XEROX]

Real-Time Linux for me :smokingc:

WinXP.. ah that explains the friendly fires.. :lolol

 

[XEROX]

yeah man, that BIll Gates needs to be put into Guantanamo :cry

 

[srirangan]

leyt's not go offtopic here .. we don't want web yellin again..

 

[XEROX]

yeah, good idea

 

[adsH]

here in RAF they actually teach you to Visually identify targets. because of there distance you are even told to look at attributes spot the differences and unique points of AC, and then you can use your own intelligence to figure out what AC is being flown around by who in the area (from the mission Briefing)

Not wanting to be a party pooper, but XP is not used in the building of targetting software. It's usually a language like ADA, and on smaller runs Assembly.

Windows is used in some of the networking in strike groups, but the usual software is ADA, ASM, Cobol even Fortran, C, C++ etc... Unix is used for security environments.

No it's not against Pakistan. India is not a Pakistan centric country. Hint: China. It's really not that hard to see this.

Thats your opinion... in the history of the Indian Air Force, who is the only country they have engaged? Thats right, Pakistan.

Why go back to '72? 2002 it was US that stopped the Indian build up.

Why go back to '72? Because it was the last conflict in which Pakistan's sovereignity was threatened. And U.S. did NOT stop the Indian build-up. Dream on.

US needs Pak to capture OBL. And dismantle the remaining Taliban. The Al-Queda is very much still a threat to US interests too.

LOL, no. OBL is probably long dead, and the Taliban are finished. Al-Queda has spread out to many different countries, like Iraq.

Yu're kiddin me right. Here nare links:
http://www.jubileeplus.org/worldnews/asia/us_assures_pakistan_debt_relief.htm
http://www.awitness.org/news/november_2001/pakistan_debt_relief.html
http://usembassy.state.gov/islamabad/wwwh02082304.html
http://www.dawn.com/2002/02/23/top7.htm

Your first 3 links are non-official and unreliable.
The 4rth link only talks about promises of a $1 billion debt writeoff. Not only does the news not confirm that it has occurred, but the $1 billion is chump change compared to our total debt.

Yeah right! You say the US Embassy link (http://usembassy.state.gov/islamabad/wwwh02082304.html) is unofficial and un reliable, dream on.. :roll

in the history of the Indian Air Force, who is the only country they have engaged? Thats right, Pakistan.

People don't plan just on the basis of history, people plan ahead for the future. IAF is not Pakistan centric, end of story.

Why go back to '72? Because it was the last conflict in which Pakistan's sovereignity was threatened. And U.S. did NOT stop the Indian build-up.

US stopped the Indian build up and war efforts in 2002. This is a fact.

OBL is probably long dead, and the Taliban are finished. Al-Queda has spread out to many different countries, like Iraq.

Yeah right, and what has the PA been fighting in Wana recently? Taliban and Al Queda. US still needs pakistan to capture the remanents and the top heads of Al Queda and Taliban, including OBL.

Can you prove it to anybody that OBL is indeed dead?

ok, going back to the topic why are india sending the Jaguars

 

[gf0012-aust]

Not sure about the IAF, but the Jaguars were considered some of the best Nuke delivery platforms in the RAF. Good solid performers, decent load out, very reliable.

In some respects, they are still a match for current gen aircraft as far as payload capability goes.

 

[XEROX]

they are definitly sending jaguars instead of su-30s!!

Huh? I'm curious as to how you came to this conclussion?

here in RAF they actually teach you to Visually identify targets. because of there distance you are even told to look at attributes spot the differences and unique points of AC, and then you can use your own intelligence to figure out what AC is being flown around by who in the area (from the mission Briefing)

adsH, I usually agree with what you say but your statement implies that "threat ID" is something special to the RAF. I doubt there are very many military aviators out there that don't know the difference between an F-14 and a Mig 29.

 

[Aussie Digger]

India is sending equipment that best fits with the results they wish to get from the exercise. If they are sendig Jaguars then obviously they are looking to test their strike capability and seeing if their tactics and doctrine can be improved when facing a high quality air defence.
