LAL et al.
I had the pleasure of dining with an IAF Sqn Leader last year and asked him directly about the "hot and high" capability of the Jag. He said they had no problem operating them in northern India (in hot conditions) in similar climatic conditions as we now encounter in Afghanistan. The IAF Jag sqns are fully prepared to operate in combat in these conditions and to the best of my knowledge do so today. Bear in mind these are less capable airframes then those recently operated by the RAF (and by the way I am sorry to see them go). Having read the posts on here, I have to ask which of these statements are factually inaccurate? Just curious.
