It may be similar but antennas have to be redesigned from plane to plane due to the change in the aircrafts geometry.
 
did anyone notice what the article said about the numbers of planes involved, 4 F-15C's vs. 10 - 12 other IAF aircraft...do we get points for being grossly out numbered?
 
Nah. Those odds are are way better than what we expected in a Ruskie first strike in Europe. I think we were war gaming based on 6 to 1 odds or greater. Some old salt correct me if I'm wrong.

I totally disagree with the quote about how the A/F can only recuit average people to fly their fighters. The A/F fighter community is no joke, and there are some very very intelligent and competent people in that community. That line in the previous post sounds like a little bit of home field arrogance on behalf of the writer, who I assume to be Indian.

This doesn't look like an article from a major Indian media outlet (along the lines of a CNN or BBC) so the presence of such silly and biased statements doesn't surprise me.
 
I don't see anything in here about AWACs, Hawkeyes, or the other the supporting elements that make up our entire package. I do know that the F-22 in particular is under scrutiny as Congress looks for places to cut in DoD to pay for Operation Iraqi Freedom.......... Coincidence??????
 
If you've been following the tanker scandal between the Air Force and Boeing, anything is plausible..... especially when a multi-billion dollar program is on the line.
 
Who knows, don't forget that it was the Air Force flying. I am sure that if you put some Navy and Marine pilots against the Indians, things would have turned out different :)
