I dont know what got YOU so stirred up, I was merely reacting to some silly comments like
".......while western aircraft are designed to solve that problem 10-20km before that."
So what is YOUR point?
That's not a silly comment in the slightest. The article specifically praises the Indian aircraft for in-visual-range capability. There is no denying that Indian forces are migrating toward greater BVR capability, and no one denies individual component capability. Your hypersensitive multi-post response to someone making a valid observation is what got me "so stirred up." I'm tired of seeing virtually any discussion of U.S. military technology/doctrine/capability versus anyone else quickly devolve into this sort of thing.
The only way to hedge and win on this sort of topic (e.g. prevent fanboy "nuh uh!" responses) seems to be to open with, "The U.S. has nothing special and its training is sub-par versus most other major militaries, especially for all the money it spends; any claimed superiority is just a myth."
