Q : Does...@Ajai Shukla<br /><br />Firstly, happy deepavali !<br /><br />Q : Doesnt the word 'vaunted' mean excessive praise which the Suryakiran team doesn't necessarily deserve ? mean what is wrong with the team ?

Aerobatics display teams should be used to showcase our country's manufacturing prowess and not that of another country. By this logic, let's remove the Druvs from the Sarangs and replace them with the Kamov/Chetak/Cheetah or other foreign types. I feel the Surya Kirans should have been kept dormant till the IJT came on stream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-57048701601949876002011-10-25T02:19:38.599-07:002011-10-25T02:19:38.599-07:00Dear Ajay Sir,

Before Suryakirans, there IAF Thunderbolts (Hunters) were a delight. These new planes will do very tight maneuvers and circuit loops. Great to keep up spirits of airwarriors and airwatchers.Abidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-51028193247795558202011-10-25T01:33:57.652-07:002011-10-25T01:33:57.652-07:00Oh well.

Aerobatic and formation display teams display much more than professionalism, they display might of the nation which is collective of military and civilian (technical fraternity). With HAWKS SKAT will be nothing but second Red Arrow and portray nothing other than its legacy -- Royal Indian Air Force.Rahulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-68410952890998331442011-10-24T21:57:43.198-07:002011-10-24T21:57:43.198-07:00Why has no Indian defence journo written about how...Why has no Indian defence journo written about how the BAE Hawk issues were resolved?
