For all the members who are jumping off their seats they need to calm down and think with a calm mind and take a note of the history. USA never was and never will be someones friend. Recall all the wars USA was involved in and where they were fought. USA has never fought a war on its own soil or...
I agree with the fact that Russia cannot be trusted as at the end of the day they are more close to India then they probably ever will be to us. However as a matter of fact I don't trust the Europeans in this context as well they too wont shy from backstabbing us as soon as they get a chance.
I hate to say it but you are right PAF has gone totally on defensive mode. In future wars the further we fight enemy in its own territory the better it would be. PAF during Musharraf's era must have pressed for F-15s who knows uncle sam would have agreed. However I still believe its not too late...
The armed forces must understand that increase in budget must mean we increase navy and airforce's share. No doubt we have a good army that is quiet beefed up but that's not the case with our airforce and navy. We have a mediocre airforce with majority of the aircraft being 3rd gen and a even...
I am hoping the V upgrade because similar to the time we got Jordanian 16 USA may stay quiet. Moreover if we get the V upgrade (that is what I wish) it will no doubt be a great milestone.
Turkey has always helped Pakistan but I think now its time that we not only take Turkish help but learn from Turks as well. Turkey has a very matured aviation industry and we can learn a lot from them. I personaaly think with the help of Turkey and China we must start our own helicopter program...
Real good analysis, you raised some really solid points there. I totally agree with you on the point that we need JF-17 in numbers but I am of opinion that only thunder wont be able to do the task. We need a platform that can also stand against an IAF and IN combined aggression. I am talking...
Some very good points indicated sir, yes the surface fleet along with the subs that we have will be able to hold the enemy but don't you think we face a much bigger threat from the skies?
What I think is that almost all the naval air arm that IN would deploy would have the first target to...
Finally PN getting the much required attention. However I still feel it apart from those subs we need some heavy ships as well a couple of destroyers maybe. Plus a potent naval air arm to counter the threats we would face in future as Gawadar becomes operational.
Did you read my post properly or tried to understand what I meant there? Who said anything about neutralizing S-400 I merely described a technique to confuse S-400 and give you an idea that S-400 isn't as deadly as your MOD thinks in his wet dreams.
Have you heard about saturating the airspace with drones?
There is a reason why Pakistan despite of its limited budget decided to invest in UAV and UCAV.
Though it is way off topic, why only Vietnam? Taiwan and Philippines are also on China's hit list. India can do whatever she wants with her nuclear technology. However any sane person can tell you that if India does prove to be as idiot as you wish she'll be biting way more then it can chew...
The truth is PAF has never ending love for F-16 and USA knows that and often uses them as a bait against Pakistan so that Pakistan don't falls completely in China's lap. So far they have been successful but lets see how long this goes.
As far as India is concerned how much more damage 8 jets...
SABR is a very good improvement to the current F-16 that the allies have. Upgrades like these show that LM still believes that F-16 has the potential to survive against 4.5 gen platform like Typhoon and Rafale.
However as far as the question "Will PAF go for them?" is concerned with my limited...
We will inshaAllah meet our F-16 goals and no doubt a TWIN ENGINE 4.5 gen platform is essential as a stop gap. I hope with Block 3 we are able to reach the AESA and HMS milestone.
Great news and if we are able to sell JF-17 to Malaysia other countries will soon follow. However the important thing will be the variant that they will buy?
First an undisclosed confirm order then Sri Lanka showed interest and now Malaysia JF-17 is finally getting the attention it needs. This...
Except for Turkey and Pakistan all the members are a part of Arab League as well. How good is Arab League? It is the military strength of Pakistan and Turkey that has influenced their inclusion. Saudis must straighten up the matters with Iran first because sooner or later this coalition is...
