THE IAF IN ACTION

The following mpeg video clips are either historic footage or have have been taken from Indian Air Force firepower demonstrations held at various times, including the one in 1999, called Vayu Shaki 99 which literally means AIR POWER. I have added six newer clips in November 2002.

These clips are best viewed after setting your video file viewer to "loop" the clips - to show them over and over again. That way you can see the little details better. I DO NOT recommend enlarging the clips over their original size, since they have been optimized for slow modem lines and you will lonly see a very blurred image on enlargement. Only some clips (as marked) have sound The site is now getting so many hits that it is being shut down periodically to stay within a daily bandwidth limit. Sorry!

And before you go any further I've got to tell you that I now have a whole website devoted to Action Video clips. This site has mpeg video clips - mostly military aircraft and and historic war footage.

Have fun!
