The image from the original article shows (correct me if I am wrong) Indian air force Su-30's. Is it that hard to find an image of an F-16 dropping bombs?

#2 Squinty, the label on the photo is Pix/dornier17.jpg in the Rantburg image file, which no doubt means something. I found it under Bombers. This is the extent of my knowledge on the subject, I'm afraid.

#3 Pix/dornier17.jpg ...old WWII twin engine Nazi bombers. Not many still flying I'd wager.

#4 Squinty, the label on the photo is ix/dornier17.jpg in the Rantburg image file.

Yes, I know. And a nice picture it is. I appreciate the humor shown by its choice. Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to the picture in the linked article. It is showing what I think are Indian Air Force SU-30's but I am not sure and was wondering if anyone could confirm.

The question about the F-16's was directed to the author of the Indian Times article, not the Rantburg article. They picked an Indian Air Force pic to describe a Pakistani attack. But perhaps they were being humorous too, but I think not.

#5 Thanks, Besoeker. My ignorance is nearly infinite about anything related to things military.

#7 Good lord, Besoeker. Now I know not to marry an elderly Pakistani in the Olde Countrie who doesn't like my cooking, too. It's been an educational day, thus far. ;-)

Squinty, I'm glad I amused, if not informed. No doubt someone here will have the answer, eventually.

#8 TW,
For stories on modern missiles I use the V2 pic. :-)
