India-Pakistan jets clash in one of the largest dogfights in recent history
Fighting between the two nuclear rivals has intensified amid international concerns and calls for cooling off
Some 125 Indian and Pakistani fighter jets battled for over an hour in one of the biggest dogfights in recent history, according to a Pakistani security source quoted by CNN.
If the numbers of aircraft were confirmed, it would make it one of the largest air battles since World War Two.
You're viewing a single thread.
The "dog fight" between Pakistani and Indian fighter jets, which Pakistani officials say downed five Indian planes, was one of the "largest and longest in recent aviation history," a senior Pakistani security source told CNN. The Pakistani claim has not been corroborated and could not be immediately verified by Newsweek.
5 planes downed would be a lot, I wonder what the actual count is.
One Indian plane is already confirmed by France and US claims 2 were down by Chinese jets of Pakistan
Though in all fairness this is mostly meaningless as it's just random missile throwing rather than a real engagement
Mmm yes, missiles aren’t REAL fighting. It only counts if you do it traditionally — pilots shooting at each other with pistols from their open cockpits.
If you would read the article maybe youd avoid this brain rot and actually understand what is said. The alarm bells are ringing about plane models and capabilities but in reality that's all irrelevant as they just carry missiles of the ground.
One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there was high confidence that Pakistan had used the Chinese-made J-10 aircraft to launch air-to-air missiles against Indian fighter jets - bringing down at least two.
The air-to-air missiles were carried off of the ground isn’t the flex you think it is. There’s definitely brain rot going on here but I’m pretty sure it’s not me.
Still whooshing here bro but whatever have a day.
You reminded me of Gunship- Fly For Your Life (great music and incredible visuals)
Dawg that's how BVR fights work.
It's still a dogfight, you don't just sit there and let the missile do all the work.
Even before the crazy new range of China's PL-15, PAF was using AIM-120s and shot down a MiG-21 5 years ago.
Every airforce hides their tactics but you can open any DCS video using BVR missiles to see how difficult it can get
