This has ref to the mention of Sidewinder mounting on Jaguars being
discontinued. The Jaguars of the Indian Air Force carry AAMs mounted
on wingtop positions. However these are R550 Magics from France as
the US would'nt allow the sale of Sidewinders to India. I have seen this
for myself (over TV) during a firepower demonstration by the IAF at the
Tilpat range near New Delhi
