I think this is a good time and place to ask the question that has puzzled me for years - Why do all these Indian nationalists proudly use English, the language of their formal colonial masters, to post all their propaganda, even the inward facing ones? All the official documents, government symbols, signs....... aren't all of these very incompatible with their beliefs (BHARAT PERFECT CIVILIZATION all that)? And they do so so unapologetically...... Just Why???

Easier to swear in I guess

There's been a lot of discussion comparing Chinese weapons to those of the US, EU, and others—which is fine. But at the end of the day, it's the person behind the machine who truly matters.

While it's well known that corruption runs deep among many Pakistani generals, the pilots of the Pakistan Air Force are in a league of their own. They should rightly be considered an elite class.

While that is true, I don’t think that many kills could’ve been achieved if PAF flew Tejas.

So the question is, why are the warhead on top of the BrahMos and the ramjet engine at the tail missing, and only the internal booster/fuel tank in the middle of the missile is almost intact?

Is it possible that the booster is inside the ramjet like the P-800 and SSN22, once it's combustion is completed, the ramjet starts up and blows it away?

Ok it makes sense, then this might be the discarded internal booster

I think you're talking about comparing martial art forms, not modern fighters. USAF novice pilots flying F-22 reportedly got bored killing veteran pilots flying F15/16 in mock combat. I think I read somewhere that killing a USAF legacy fighter (but not a Typhoon apparently) was so easy for an F-22 pilot that it was like closing down a pop-up window on your computer and pilot retention suffered because flying it was monotonous.

Not just their pilots, kudos to their mission planners as well. From ISW to EW to the frontline pilots, PAF as a whole displayed high level of professionalism. Though I don't want to jinx it, the whole thing is still ongoing with escalation from both sides to come

If data links are force multipliers, then multiple sets of incompatible data links are force divider. Indians have not or cannot learn the lessons of 2019 due to the inertia of arms procurement.

Apparently, Ayi was pissed off by what you wrote in the quotes. :p
