Typhoons v Diamond DA42 Twin Star
 

My curiosity has been aroused by 2 Typhoons apparently exercising with a Diamond DA 42 Twin Star late every afternoon this week over Nipva Towers. All 3 aircraft are flying a variety of lazy orbits at a variety of heights without seeming to make any form of direct engagement. As an ex-Air Defender I am intrigued, nay mystified, by these exercises. Can anyone shed any light or express any theories?

Maybe it's a new aggressor / red air PFI, to provide non-synthetic opposition training for when the T1 goes out of service... ;)

Probably more of the same as mentioned here ...

Practicing how to shoot down very slow flying Cessnas loaded with explosives ?

Now the Indians have gone home perhaps the Typhoons are starting small and working their way up.

Run up to the Rugby World Cup ??

As per KPax, after the bloodied nose with the SU-30, we need to build the confidence up again...

Did the MKIs really give the Typhoons THAT much of a drubbing ?

No.

Since the F-35 isn't ready yet, the DA42 is the closest as flight characteristics? :E
