Why don't fighter planes have guns that fire backwards?

WW2 Aircraft having gun to fire backwards Guns on today's fighter aircraft are not for dog-fights.  They are there for ground attack where CAS (Close Air Support) are needed.  Today's jets are simply too fast and maneuverable to be good gunnery targets in a close in dog fight, assuming the shooter didn't take out the target with a missile at 20 miles. So supposing you did have someone on your tail and you DID have a rear firing gun.  What then?  Think of reversing your car at high speed and trying to keep the road centered in your mirror.  The slightest twitch of your jet would send any bullets off target, and twisting/turning is the best dog fight defense you can have in a gunnery dog fight.  You would need a turreted gun with tracking radar and perhaps a second crew to man it.  Too heavy a penalty for a very rare usage.  In short, rear facing guns are simply impracticable on today's fighter jets. ANOTHER REASON: It is not that...

Why does the Indian Special Forces prefer Israeli weapons like the Tavor Tar-21 over the American M4?

Tavor has become the staple firearm of Indian Special Forces units with Full Length Barrel variants in service with Primary Special Operations Units while shorter barrel variants are in service with various SWAT and Commando units in India. Tavor has been increasingly favored over other weapon systems and specially the M4 Carbines which has been the staple weapon for various Special Operations Forces and Counter-Terrorism Organisations. The reason why Indian Special Forces prefer Israeli Tavor Family of Rifles over the American M4 Carbines are many , some of which I will discuss below : > Bull-Pup Configuration :  Tavor Family of Rifles took the Bullpup configuration to a newer level eliminating those problems which earlier plagued the Bullpup firearms. Bullpup Configuration means that the receiver , magazine and Bolt Carrier is placed behind the Pistol Grip thus helping the weapon to reduce its overall length while retaining the actual barrel length. This configuration is a...

What is the difference between Fighter,Attack And Strike Aircraft???

                            Fighter aircraft Fighter aircraft  are sometimes  air superiority  aircraft or mainly  multi-role  aircraft nowadays.  These aircraft are primarily designed to overpower and outmaneuver enemy aircraft to obtain and maintain airspace control. These aircraft typically have more powerful, sophisticated radars allowing them to detect enemy aircraft earlier, and launch counter mesures such as air-to-air missiles on them.  They are mostly lightweight but having powerful engines, giving them a very high thrust-to-weight ratio and an abundance of power. Lastly, they  have bubble canopies affording excellent visibility in many directions. The most typical modern example of this is the Su-30 MKI And Rafale of Indian Air-force.                                 ...
