Ok, I will be posting some really cool DCS Cinematics. Actual Missions and a few edits


⚡️A highway strip, also known as a road runway or road base, is a dedicated section of a highway, motorway, or public road constructed to function as a runway primarily for military aircraft. Its purpose is to serve as an alternative or auxiliary military air base, enabling aircraft operations to continue in the event that regular air bases, often high-priority targets in warfare, are compromised or incapacitated.

⚡️🇵🇰 PAF Fighters landing and Taking off from the M2-Motorway (Islamabad-Lahore).

They used a runway section on the M2 motorway to land, refuel and take off a Mirage III and an F-7P and a Super Mushaak Trainer.

⚡️🇵🇰 And regarding the questions that arise about why Pakistan didn't shoot it down?

The simple answer is we couldn't. At that time. That area does not have any Sams deployed. Don't believe the bullshit that we were tracking it and just didn't want to shoot it down. That's propaganda.

🇵🇰⚡️🇮🇳 IAF reveals what led to accidental BrahMos firing into Pakistan. This may take a while to unpack but here we go

According to the disclosed information, the mishap occurred due to a critical oversight involving the combat connectors of the missile, which remained connected to the junction box during movement. The subsequent Court of Inquiry identified a lapse in protocol, attributing the failure to disconnect these connectors to a convoy commander's negligence.

However, Wing Commander Abhinav Sharma has brought forth alarming allegations, suggesting a broader systemic failure and a culture of scapegoating within the IAF. Red Light warnings were ignored by the higher Command, a clear disregard for safety regulations. He also said that the responsibility and blame have been disproportionately placed on an individual, potentially shielding senior officers from accountability.

The inquiry is an attempt by the IAF to conceal deeper issues related to command, control, and safety standards.

⚡️🇨🇳 As China expands its fleet, questions arise as to which of its three aircraft carriers—the Liaoning, the Shandong, or the state-of-the-art Fujian—the J-15D will call home.
Analysts point to the Fujian’s cutting-edge electromagnetic launch system (EMALS) as a perfect match for the heavier J-15D, designed for complex multirole missions including air-to-sea strikes and electronic countermeasures.

⚡️🇨🇳 China Unveils J-15D Fighter with Advanced Electronic Warfare Capabilities​. Equipped with sophisticated EW technology, the J-15D mirrors the concept of the US Navy’s E/A-18G Growler.

Chinese state media recently highlighted this advancement, showcasing the J-15D’s capacity to operate two EW pods, which could signify an operational leap in electronic combat.

⚡️🇧🇩 "The second prototype of the Bangabandhu Basic Trainer (BBT) aircraft was unveiled by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during the Military Hardware Display 2024 on Sunday.
The development of BBT-1 and BBT-2 is a landmark for the country’s aviation industry because local designers, engineers and technicians of Bangabandhu Aeronautical Centre (BAC) have built the aircraft using their own technology in Lalmonirhat under the supervision of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Aviation and Aerospace University (BSMRAAU)" as reported by DhakaTribune

Fuel consumption of 12-16 Lph is very impressive. Even Cessna 152 uses approx 18-20.

🇮🇳⚡️🇵🇰Hindustan Aeronautic Ltd LCA Tejas Mk1A makes its maiden flight. The new version is equipped with better avionics and combat suite.

Its competitor, JF-17C Block-III made its maiden flight 4 years back in 2020 and is now fully operational in "Black Panther" and "Haider" Squadrons of the PAF

⚡️🇵🇰 Moreover, Fatah-II’s extended range of 400 km enables it to eliminate the enemy’s strategic long-range air defence systems deployed in the rear. For instance, it can take out even mobile targets like S-400 air defence systems that can quickly shift from one firing location to another. Additionally, its low cost incentivizes the military to employ it against enemy air defences by firing a barrage of rockets on a single battery of S-400 to overwhelm the system and, in the process, eliminate it as well. This makes Fatah-II a unique system in Pakistan’s conventional arsenal to perform suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) missions in the future.

@planenerd


⚡️🇵🇰 A few questions arise here. Why did Pakistan introduce a long-range artillery system when it already possesses short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) with similar ranges? What benefits are associated with the Fatah-II rocket? The answer lies in Fatah-II’s lower costs, ability to conduct deep strike missions, short sensor-to-shooter response time, and precision strike capability.

Fatah-II provides more bang for Pakistan’s buck because it has low production and operational costs compared to sensitive systems like SRBMs. Ballistic missiles have high maintenance and operational costs and require separate storage sites and staff to maintain them, while Fatah-II can easily blend with the MLRS fleet. Besides, the sensor-to-shooter response time of Fatah-II is significantly shorter, making it a preferable choice for operational commanders.
