Thank you sir for your reply. Obviously I don't know everything since I'm no 'serving' Thunder rider lol, but I'm a keen enthusiast thou like everyone on this forum.
So will we see any possible changes in JFT's design in any near future.... so it will be able to incorporate OBOGS, CFT's or a...
Turkish Aselan's yet another charming product. The 'ASELPOD' Advanced Targeting Pod.
Seems to be as good as the Sniper ATP. PAF should also consider this for JF-17 besides the WMD-7 & maybe for our F-16's as-well.
Actually it would be 49 Block-1. The JF-17 (10-127) that crashed back in 2011 never got a replacement unit. So there are potentially 49 Block-1 JFT's in service.
I have questions about JF-17's cockpit.
Is it a fully pressurized cockpit with temperature control ? & How many hours of oxygen does it stores for single sortie ?
What's the matter? What's happening in PAC?
If my memory is good, I remember that the 29th Block-2 unit was supposed to have a fixed IFR Probe..... why is it not being installed yet ??
This make me wonder if something really fishy is going on in PAC.
Well how about Nawaz do something to de-politicize the Police Department, re-equip them with modern tech & gadgets.... modernize them in all aspects & raise highly trained and equipped Counter-Terrorism Units & Anti-Riots Squads in all provinces and every city of Pakistan. Protecting every asset...
PAF should order at-least 18 more F-16V and get back it's 12 remaining F-16A/B with MLU-03 upgrades. Getting them will provide a major hike in PAF capabilities.
I think whether new or old (embargoed one's).... 18 new F-16's would be better than buying or getting just 8. Best even if we buy the 'V' variant & upgrade the in-service 18 Block52+'s to the same 'V' standard.
Nonetheless, they will be a valuable addition into the modern fleet of PAF, but PAF...
I know all that. It will be used for J-31 but it can be programmed to be adjusted for the use of JF-17's as well. It's all about software, which can be done. This HMD is quite an option & if selected, it might as-well turn out to be as good as JHMCS.
Pakistan should buy T-129's & Milgem class corvettes from Turkey.
To expand our Defence ties further, we should JV the Turkey's 'TFX Next Generation Fighter Program' & 'TF-2000 Anti-air warfare frigate' programs.
Bro, I have followed the JFT's timeline pretty much from it's induction into PAF. I have also watched all its displays in the Air Shows it participated. I personally haven't noticed any considerable change in the AC's performance. It did put up quite a show in Paris but Aerobatics performance is...
Here is what I'm talking about.
A Solo Aerobatic display by PAF's F-16 Block15-MLU:
Here's a solo display of the JFT at Paris:
An aviation enthusiast can spot the difference easily, the F-16 just seems much better in maneuverability and just executes better at rolls, tight turns, vertical...
Thanks again.
I have a question Sir.
If LERX serve the same purpose as to Canard, why is it that the JFT's maneuverability is still not on-par with fighters like Gripen or lets say the F-16's ? Why does it seem so 'under-powered' ?
