Indian Jaguar with Sea-Eagle missile

[rmlew]

The Sea Eagle has a range of what, 60 nautical miles?
How many Jaguars would be shot down by the escorting Arleigh Burke destroyers and Ticonderoga cruiser before being able to fire?

[CarrotAndStick]

The location is less than 200 miles from the Chinese listening post in Coco Islands.

Another gift that keeps on giving, on part of Nehru's string of follies. Those islands were Indian territory that Nehru gifted Burma.

You sunk my Nimitz!

Re" Indian jets 'sink' Nimitz during joint exercises...

If this is has any 'truth,' I will be very disappointed that an aircraft that entered service in 1972, even if packing Sea Eagle missiles, managed to 'sink' an American carrier. That means we may have to bend over and kiss the inevitable triumph of Iran and their ragheaded muzzie allies!

India trains Iranian navy despite US pressure

September 5

"Given the US Congress's concerns over growing ties between India and Iran, the navy refused to comment on what the Iranians were being trained for."

"M.K. Bhadrakumar, an expert in West Asian affairs, said, Why is it (The Indian government.) not forthcoming with the details of the training?"

Why are they using Jaguars? I thought the Indian Navy has MiG-29Ks ()or have these not been supplied yet)? Also, is the air-to-ship BrahMos not in production yet?

[Chode]

do all Jags have high wing hardpoints and some don't use them or some with and some without???

almost looks like the top of a rail over the inner hardpoint not being used.

ON BOARD USS Kitty Hawk (150 miles west of Port Blair), September 7: As the small green dots approached closer on the radar screen, the Indian officer sitting deep inside USS Nimitz knew it was too late to save the ship. Jaguar maritime fighters of the Indian Air Force (IAF), operating from the Car Nicobar air base, had managed to come dangerously within striking range to successfully launch anti-ship missiles on the super carrier.

Maybe I am misinterpreting this, but was the Indian officer in charge of the Nimitz’s defenses? Cause if he was then there is why the Nimitz was sunk. Obviously our boys are better trained and have a greater familiarity with he equipment. I would highly doubt if they were American sailors manning the post that the Jaguar would have even gotten within striking distance. Even without the carriers standard 50 mile defenses on board the ship there is the launch of strike fighters to intercept in coming bogie's. So I find this hard to believe.
