they’re probably trying to avoid a MH 17 situation although Russia suffered no consequences for killing 300 innocent people. then again, honestly I have no idea about the history of closing airspaces over conflict zones.

India still flies MIG-21's? Those things are ancient.

They still had about ~250 of them as of 2013, though they're supposed to be rather unsafe to fly these days because of their age.

Even with modern avionics I wouldn't relish the idea of going up against an F-16 in a MIG that's easily older than the pilot flying it.

A fighter jet is just a glorified missile platform. All they have to do is get a target lock and let it fly to do their job. Using ancient Soviet jets is a cost effective solution for developing countries. Obviously that changes if the Migs start falling apart, but that's what ejector seats are for.

A quick glance at wiki shows that India lost literally half of the 21's that they built from 1966-80 to crashes. The plane has something of a reputation as a widowmaker and they're supposed to be phased out by the end of this year.

Pakistani pilots, unlike noob Indian pilots, can manage to fly even the most unsound of jets without crashing, unless shot down of course.

fresh takes from extremely right wing Indian dudes







quote:

I am extremely sad. Not angry, just sad.

Pakistaniyon ka samajh mein aata bhi hai ki bechaare bachpan se brainwashed hain, but seeing comments and posts like : "I am a fellow redditor from r/India and I agree with the Pakistani narrative...", "I think it was just Modi's plan to win votes and no damage has been done", THIS makes me sad. The two subreddits of Pakistan - r/Pakistan and r/chutyapa, both are with their country's (false) narrative, while people from r/India are questioning their own defense forces. All around the world, there is the Left and the Right. But in India, it really seems like there is the Right, and Anti-nationals posing as the Left, and I am not calling them Anti-nationals just for words, they ACTUALLY sound like someone who would backstab their own nation.

It is one thing not believing a political party's claims, but believing a literal terrorist-nation over one's own government and defense forces is just... SAD.

Also, #PKMKB.

The EMP impact of a nuclear weapon is vastly overstated. You could film it with just minor shielding. The bigger problem is how you're going to deal with the blinding flash.
