Exercise Indra Danush
Exercise suffered from being at the end of a long logistical and AT chain that is massively overstretched at the moment. It was also set up with very noddy (and flawed) weapons simulations.
However......
The IAF have some sharp pilots (who are bloody nice blokes) and they had no problems in visual combat with platforms that are superior to the F3.
BVR was a different matter with the F3 and E3 combo giving some very pleasing results and putting a few Su-30 MKI pilots' noses out of joint when their 'wonder-jet' didn't quite do the business.
So don't believe everything you read in the 'Times of India' Navaleye.
It was mainly a defence diplomacy exercise anyway.
Oh and the Samosas were great!
