Because the Thai Air Force also operates the ADF platform, I suspect it might be some sort of fix for the named version of our F-16s (both operate standard A/B as well so this is just speculation). It is unfortunate that they dont specify exactly which radar because the PAF seems to be very...

^ Nishan 101/BlackEagle90... guaranteed.

If true, this is a sad development.

I'm very surprised to see the J-10 develop to the level that it seems to have, noted by the plane on the left in the above picture. Anyone have any other Pics of that J-10 Prototype?

In the past month, the Navy has held exercises in Pakistan with 4 different nations now (Japan, Iran, UAE and Russia), this is a much welcomes sign i think.

Even the paint scheme is notably different, this is not ex-RJAF.

First, what makes you believe that a few pundits like us on this board will be given the sort of information that you're looking for? I don't even understand what exactly you're wanting either... But before you think that this may be a stalemate, lets consider a few things: While I agree that...

I think it would be a great stop-gap acquisition for us to augment our AH-1s before newer platforms (hopefully the T-129) are introduced. While these helicopters are only a fraction of the cost of modern attack helicopters, they still carry a hefty price tag of about 5 million per unit. I would...

Listen, fact of the matter is that potential customers will see Pakistan's acquisition of these old F-16's as a big negative in terms of Pakistan's satisfaction with the JF-17. You can certainly argue that the ADFs were just a stop-gap measure employed by the PAF to get the Thunder up to speed...

While its true that China is ahead of the game, I think there are several reasons why the US wont permit our F-16s to fly with the PLAAF flankers. Apart from the obvious and some very valid points which have been stated above, Taiwan, arguably China's biggest rival, operates several squadrons of...

For Gods sake OP. Get a new damn hobby...

Spotted 2 F-16's holding hands way up in the north at Skardu. Reminds me of my favourite picture of our F-16's... the Skardu backdrop is just priceless.

Answer my questions please. If you wanna hide, go under a rock somewhere. I've attached my post above for your reference.

Ok, heres my question for you then sir, why do some of the best Air Forces in the world employ sidewinders in tandem with AMRAAMs? Why do America, Russia, Israel, France etc. bother to even to continue to R&D these missiles? And once you've done that, explain to me why the IAF employs missiles...

First lets get one thing clear, we never "shied" away in 1999. You were just too scared to be shot down like '65 and '71 if you came in close. Secondly, while I agree with your ridiculously cheesy example of the preferrance of BVR over WVR, there will always be room for WVR for years to come...

Not a chance.... ... ... unfortunately.

Eagle. Please stop this wishlisting and on top of that, insisting such that the US should pay for everything. With all due respect, thats all you ever do. If the TuAF had the clearence to take them down, they would be down already. So please refrain.

I stopped reading right there.

1. If a new airframe is better than a 30 year old airframe, then please enlighten me as to why countries all around the world continue to purchase the F-16 over the JF-17. 2. You are right... ON PAPER the F-16 ADF is inferior to the JF-17. But once again, you would be very naive to jump to...
