Please understand that this is a "FEEL GOOD" story for Indian consumption . The F-16 used by Singapor Air Force have been used in excercises between Singapore and India before. So nothing new.
Fortunately, Pakistan has never shown or shared its flying tactics with Singapore.
Indians must...
I am not into bashing any one for their views but your arguments show a high degree of ignorance and a childish behavior. Posing as a retired white American is useless. Your choice of words has already exposed you in another thread.
You have also conveniently forgotten 6 million jews...
My information points to Egyptian acquisition of JF-17 in triple digits and not just for 30-40 copies. This explains why Egypt wants an assembly line. Also, Egypt and Pakistan are negotiating this project.
Avionics issue is under review and it may have an effect on the timimg of the project.
Plan as I heard is to send a whole Squadron(12-15 aircrafts). The exercise will take place at the end of the year. Schedule will be set after finalizing the technical details and duration of the exercise. My questions:
1. We all know when Red Flag will be held. Will it be a 5th or 6th segment...
A/B are more likely to be participating. The BLK-52 should be arriving Pakistan next 8-10 days.
Will be great for the PAF to show its mastery of older F-16s against some of the latest aircrafts.
Thanks for your trust. Some of us are aware of though not officially privy to many projects. We never divulge any classified item. Information released in most instances are sourced to PAF, PN or PA who know it will be later posted on net.
I have told many whose messages I received that I saw South Africans working in Pakistan. Having a poster in a work place is in no way and form suggests or proves that where the picture is from. This particular picture was taken by me while on a tour of PAF facility. Many posts on the subject...
Not just 18, Pakistan is now acquiring all 36 F-16s. This report in Defence Industry Daily now confirms what I have heard lately.
Regarding the older F-16s, they are not just getting the standard MLU but the CCIP upgrade which will bring them up to Block-50/52+ standard...
Indians are furious on Indian forum including Bharat BakBak after the news breaking out that IN has destroyed all documents relating to sinking of Pakistani submarines in 1971. They have always claimed that Indian Navy sank Pakistan Navy submarine "Ghazi" . Truth is now coming out that Indian...
Nahin Bhai. I never meant that and if I seem to be, I aplogize.
Evolution is never an easy process. Things crop up when they are not supposed to. Whole fleet of F-22 can be grounded as it did in February because ejection seat rods were found rusted and drain system rendered them useless...
Congratulation to you guys. Only one point that you are wrong about. Sketch indicates that LCA is more like 96% composite and not just 46% as you mention. You guys are really a humble lot.
China had offered to Pakistan the J-10 for $40 million each. Pakistan has reportedly countered with a new offer of 25 million for each aircraft.
Lets us see what price they agree on. This may very well be one of the reasons, PAF has delayed the acquisition.
Mastan Khan Saheb,
I carry a baggage which is one decade heavier than yours. Result is inferior health, declining vision and failing memory compared to some younger hotblooded, compassionate and emotion filled patriots.
I do get under the weather more often than most I will post once I...
I think that we have unduly jumped to conclusionss. It was reported three years ago that JF-17 would be equipped with KLJ-10 but the first batch is using the KLJ-7. This does not mean that first batch Thunders with KLJ-7 are in any way or form inferior just because they do not have KLJ-10. Let...
I feel sorry for you. Make sure that you make advanced arrangements for karya karam. Be confident that we will post the news in a thread of your choice in loving memory for you.
Let us not forget that this contract is being subjected to a heavy pressure by Indians and to some degrees by USA. Indians are threatening to shun France from future contracts if it goes through this.
I worry a lot because French are greedy and Indians have a lot of money and French are being...
Wow! What a thread and some emotional posts.
One needs to understans that Air Force is all about Science of Air Warfare. Naturally, the head of an Air Force must always be some one who is noy only an air warfare expert but has thorough knowledge of the tools which are used to conduct it...
If the news is correct then it is pathetic. They should had never taken so much time.
I think some F-16 were out to US. Do not know if they have already been sent to Turkey. But then why if the project will start in 2010.
With the changing times, PAF should grab the opportunities when they...
