[NGAD IS THE BEST]

IRST is basically for close range (under 20KM) engagements, while the new air war doctrine now revolves around extreme long ranges.

Na, In late 80s to mid 90s IRST has a range of at least 80 km on upgradation of Su-27 family of jets today's IRST has a range well beyond 100 km

Hard to believe, the total lense dia is only about 12~15 inches max, I don't think such a small lense can detect infra red signals at that range.

Even Typhoon's PIRATE IRST can detect/track targets 90 miles (167 km) away in tail-chase mode where enemy's engine exhaust nozzle visible to IRST

If I were to summarise the various 'jharpein' between Mastan and the so called experts on here, Mastan brings out-of-box thinking, prods the imagination, this does not sit well with the establishment of experts. Now normally that would be ok, but Mastan does so unapologetically and with confidence, and the establishment is unable to show grace when out of their comfort zone. As a result things turn sour.
