โก๏ธ๐ฎ๐ณ That time when the scammers got scammed.
HAL Kanpur was in the process of buying three fighter jet parts from a legitimate US-based firm called P.S. Engineering Inc. The official communication began from the correct email address:[email protected] .
However, during the email exchange, a scammer inserted themselves by sending a nearly identical email from[email protected] , with a subtle typo: โengineeringโ was missing one โe.โ HAL didnโt notice the fake address and continued the conversation, eventually being given fraudulent bank details.
Trusting the fake email, HAL transferred $63,405 (โน55 lakh) into the scammer's account. The scam only came to light when the real company followed up saying they hadnโt received any payment.
The case is now under investigation by Indian cybersecurity and police authorities.
Somewhere out there, a Nigerian prince is taking notes.

Variants of the J-10 and how to identify them
i personally like the J-10S and C version, I guess they didn't see a need to make a twin seater of the C.

๐ฉ๐ฟ๐ท๐บ Algeria's Su-35s spotted via satellite!
Fresh MAXAR satellite images confirm Algeria's Su-35s at Ain Beida/Oum El Bouaghi Air Base, first clear visual proof since the footage we shared of said aircraft flying one month ago.
But wait, there's more...
Many more Algerian roundel-adorned Su-35s are still at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant (KnAAZ) in Russia, suggesting more deliveries are imminent.

๐ฎ๐ณโก๏ธ๐ต๐ฐ Today is April 10th 2025. 66 years since the first aerial kill of the PAF.
On Eid al-Fitr, with a skeleton crew on duty, a radar station detected an Indian Canberra on a reconnaissance mission entering Pakistani airspace. Two F-86F Sabres, piloted by Flt. Lt. M. N. Butt and Flt. Lt. M. Yunis were scrambled to intercept.
The Canberra, flying above 50,000 feet, was out of range for Butt's attack. When the aircraft lost altitude, Yunis fired, hitting it at 47,500 feet and bringing it down over Rawat. Both Indian pilots ejected, were captured, and repatriated the next day.
