Found this article on the other forum for reference. anyway take
it as a grain of salt. It sound like a different excerise than the
one publish in the chinese magazine. by the way also have to
mention this is cut off from MY topics.
As of the report on Indian MKI defeat Sg F-16 .. no report ? It's
an open secret and well known story :
"Exercise Report
Singapore's top guns have been engaging in dogfights with their
Indian counterparts in the open skies over Gwalior in western India
in a 15-day exercise which ends today. And they have fared well,
considering that the Indian Air Force includes veterans with real
battle experience.
"It was a good exercise, which allowed our Republic of Singapore
Air Force (RSAF) pilots to interact with a well-established air
force with highly-professional operators," said a Ministry of
Defence (Mindef) spokesman.
Key to the exercise were two factors: One, it provided the RSAF
access to new air training space and two, to engage for the first
time, with Russian-made aircraft using different weapon
platforms.
Six F-16 Fighting Falcon jets from the RSAF, led by Detachment
Commander Lt Col Anil Sanker, 39, engaged in aerial combat with
aircraft deployed by the Indian Air Force, which included the
top-of-the-line Sukhoi-30, MiG-27, and MiG-29 and the Mirage
2000.
The MiGs and the F-16s are comparable in terms of manoeuvrability,
sophistication of avionics and weapons systems, say analysts.
Both Singapore and Indian pilots tested their skills in one-on-one
dogfights, which escalated to two-on-two clashes and eventually
involved up to as many as 10 aircraft.
Considering that the Indians, in their Sukhoi-30s, triumphed over a
visiting American team in their F-15 Eagles in exercises earlier
this year at Gwalior, how did the RSAF pilots, who have fared well
in international competitions, do?
A Times of India news report, quoting IAF sources, said the Indian
pilots proved more than a match for their visitors."=====> other
details deleted -- confidential maaaa....
Anyway Sg Mindef are very very eager to acquire some knowledge of
Sukhoi in the exercise in term of manoeuvrability, sophistication
of avionics and weapons systems knowing that MY is purchasing
Su-30MKM. THe same with India on F-16 should Pakistan acquire F-16
in future.
