@OSINTWarfare An Indian Rafale was shot down from around 200km by a PL-15E fired from a PAF J-10CE. According to Reuters, it was confirmed by both sides
@raptor1991007 Buddy, calm down. The J-10CE shot down a rafale last year, from 200km away. If the Rafale never had first shoot advantage, Tejas definitely doesn't.
@AezakmiXen73749@HQuarterma43504 If it was just a matter of "few tweaks" they would have resolved it by now. The problem with this engine is much more bigger than DRDO is publicly admitting. Something that they can't fix.
@raptor1991007 ๐ต๐ฐ now has super sonic cruise missiles too. They can test the LD-3000 against it themselves + they have data from OP. Sindoor also.
How sure are you that ๐ต๐ฐ has aquired this C-RAM?
@Rishabh556S@raptor1991007 That's ok but the BarsN011M radar has a maximum detection range of 140km(tracking range for fighter sized targets is even less). How will Astra Mk-2 or R-37M make a difference when the SU-30MKI can't guide them? Also, if I'm not wrong, the Astra Mk2 is still in testing, isn't it?
@Priyans11416181@DayDreamer15k I believe the Pakistani tweet says that their Radar is near completion after starting development in 2018-19, it isn't ready yet either.
@DarkCruiser12@arshamcaptain Yes but at the same time Meteor uses an older gen J band mechanically steered seeker which is more susceptible to jaming compared to AESA seekers of modern missiles. What good is it's supposed massive range & NEZ if its seeker is jammed?
@arshamcaptain All that is true but, at the same time, the Meteor has a mono pulse J band mechanically steered seeker which is more susceptible to jaming than the PL-15E'S AESA seeker. AFAIK Rafale can share only 1way data link with meteor not 2way.
