An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report. |

Another official said at least one Indian jet that was shot down was a French-made Rafale fighter aircraft. |

Date: May 8th, 2025 4:54 PM Author: white exciting school Social media posts highlighted the face-off between China's PL-15 air-to-air missile against the Meteor, produced by European missile group MBDA.
But the analysts and sources said crucial details were unclear including whether Meteors were carried or how they may have been deployed. |

Date: May 8th, 2025 4:56 PM Author: Elite Windowlicker The non-export version of the PL-15 has twice the range of the version everyone assumed Pakistan had. It also wasn't designed to be launched from a J-10. Pakistan had to innovate. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5722307&forum_id=2#48914898) |

Date: May 8th, 2025 5:20 PM Author: Elite Windowlicker Close. It was more a question of whether we'd dump shitpiles of money into Ukraine or Taiwan. There was no pretense about if affecting the outcome of a war.
Part of the split has to do with old tech vs new. We spent hundreds of billions on Ukraine, but it was all spent on shitty old clapped out weapons platforms. The team pushing to support Taiwan envisioned us selling them the latest and greatest tech, electronic warfare shit, that kind of thing. In retrospect it would have been a better investment of money. But the contractors who would have benefited the most would be smaller outfits, not Lockheed/Raytheon per se, so they never had the same pull in Washington. |
