As the weekend approaches, let's get a taste of the Indian Air Force. Not long ago, India's "air show-class" air force was mentioned, which made people think that the air show-class air force must have unique characteristics. Today we delve into this topic again, and recent exchanges with the Indian Air Force have given us a better understanding of this impressive military force.
Truth be told, the United States and Russia have far more aircraft in service than India, but both superpowers have one flaw – their planes are largely homegrown. If you want to see Russian aircraft flying at the air show of the US Air Force, you may find it a little difficult. So, despite the strength of the U.S. and Russian air forces, the air shows they hold can basically only cover their own aircraft. China, on the other hand, has not been able to gain much international popularity because of its relatively small number of aircraft, most of which are still domestically produced, and relatively few in terms of "actual combat".
India, however, is very different. They have friendly relations with countries all over the world and can purchase all kinds of aircraft from China and Pakistan and other countries, including many world-famous aircraft. This has made it easy for India to host a world-class air show, and it does not even need to invite other countries to participate, and it can only be a prosperous event on its own, which is difficult for the United States and Russia to match.
1. The sense of immediacy through time and space.
The Indian Air Force's air show makes it seem as if you have been able to travel back in time. Here you can witness the Russian-made Il-78 refueling the "Jaguar" jointly developed by Britain and France, forming a shocking cooperation;The "Jaguar" presents its majestic posture above the fish nest of the aging dragon bell. The MiG-21 leads Dassault to move forward bravely and shows the style of the times. In addition, "Bison" and "Flanker" transcend generations and work together to interpret the soulful gaze. Imagine if Mikoyan had lived a few more years, we might have been able to witness the creation of new brilliance by our own fighter planes.
Second, the wonderful presentation of the world's famous aircraft.
The Indian Air Force's air shows show us some of the best aircraft in the world. For example, the Su-30 is surrounded by legal fighters, but it can calmly respond and form a counter-encirclement;"Flanker" and "Fulcrum" dragged four buttocks of black smoke to form a pincer attack on "Rafale", showing superb flying skills. These scenes may seem tense in other countries, but in India they are part of the daily training routine.
3. Diversity in the Indian Air Force.
The Indian Air Force is not only dominated by the army, but also has strong naval support. The Su-30MKI of the Air Force and the MiG-29K of the Navy flew in formation, giving the impression of a Russian "Warrior" performance team. It also showcases the diversity of the Indian Air Force, which excels not only on land but also at sea.
Fourth, the proud attitude of domestic aircraft.
India's Tejas fighter is the pride of Indians, and although it is domestically produced, its partners with other international aircraft do not seem to be out of place. This plane has its own fairy spirit, especially the beautiful pilot, which is more in line with the consistent performance of Bollywood movies. India's pride in "Radiance" is palpable.
5. Cinema and Reality.
India's technology in making films is equally impressive. Even the old MiG-21 can show unusual power and domineering through movies. The temperament of the pilots of the Indian Air Force is even more impressive. For example, a MiG-21 pilot who was shot down and captured by Pakistan, after all this, returned to his homeland with a great boost in temperament.
Overall, the Indian Air Force is a high-profile military force in the world for its diversity, abundance, and superb flying skills. They presented an unusual international demeanor and impressed people with India's military prowess.
This weekend, perhaps we can stop and enjoy the Indian Air Force's air show and get a feel for their training and strength.
