K-8 is an intermediate trainer and the pakistani version, known as K-8P features stuff such as HUD, MFD's, in addition to ILS, EFIS,etc. that are not standard on K-8. However, its not supersonic and it lacks FBW controls. These things make the transition easier to 4th generation aircrafts.

Please excuse for making a ridicule of this, but that's got to be amongst the funniest things I have heard in a long time. Communication revealing how you manuever 9g turns? what your TWR is? Look at it this way, we are talking to each other right now (me and you)-- do I know your weight and...

Everything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong in that article. From the specs to the "analysis", its a waste of time. I guess it was written by some wannabe analyst and is quite old (outdated).

You are misquoting me. I am saying - producing an engine in pakistan with some ToT is very very unlikely to happen in the near future, be it the Eurojet, Snecma's engines or even the RD-93/WS-13. - Switching the engine, particularly for the first 150, is also very unlikely. I personally...

It doesn't matter everyone is talking here. What matters is PAF's thinking vs its bank account. It might be a dream, but not all dreams are fulfilled. RD-93 might have a disadvantage in its lifetime and/or its thrust but I don't think India will have enough pressure to do anything. If it...

Abbas, Manufacturing engines is not an easy task. Its pretty sophisticated and require a well built industry for metals and materials -- both of which we lack. Also setting up all the infrastructure in place requires heavy investment which we cannot afford at this point in time. Regarding...

Since you say you aren't into aviation, let me be simple. A flutter test is a test of vibration of the aircraft. A "flight flutter test", as the name suggests, is a test of vibration in the airframe during flight. This usually happens when the airplane gathers speed, usually nearing its...

Another good news, the AESA radar has been finished This news have been reported in an news paper run by Chinese military industy: This news says the AESA for Chinese J-XX has finished, its a X-band AESA radar, developed in 607th research insistitue in Sichuan. The Vice-commander of...

Oh dear Lord, not again! This has been discussed to death in previous JF-17 vs LCA threads. Here's one such thread with detailed arguments and counter-arguments from both side. http://www.defence.pk/forums/military-aviation/21301-jf-17-has-edge-over-lca-pak-officials-10.html

The current UAVs being manufactured are quite small in size and unable to carry any weapon. The new UAV being rumored is called Burraq, is being made possibly based on the Falco and may carry NESCOM developed Laser designator and Laser guided weapons. There have even been rumors of its first...

I believe this is the news item you gentlemen are talking about. BBC News - Pakistan gets first Awacs plane The title of the picture clearly says, "India took delivery of its Awacs aircraft in June". So that is the IAF taking delivery of its Phalcon. May be its a good idea to read the...

Hi, Almost everything can be detected by the radar be it F-22, B-2 or this UAV because they are low observable not totally invisible. The real and correct question is at what distance? Frankly, even the engineers at SAAB won't have a clue to the RCS of that UAV let alone people on this forum...

PAFAce, the agreement was signed in 2006/7 and we knew it then that the planes will start arriving in june 2010. Its not like the plane is made but the delivery schedule is now being changed. Frankly, I am not very happy of PAF buying these F-16s. I can understand their lack of options...

just a little correction....the first delivery date of F-16 blk 52 is june 2010 at the very least so its pretty unlikely we will see any during march 23 parade unless you are talking about 2011.

Pakistan gets first AWACS aircraft ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has acquired its first Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, according to Pakistan Air Force. Sweden’s Saab 2000 AWACS aircraft reached the air base today, Geo News reported. Pakistan gets first AWACS aircraft - GEO.tv

You are the one spinning the story. The question you asked, that was "laughable" to you, is that what makes PAF unique. If you look in a dictionary, the definition of unique is something not being done by others. It has got nothing to do with the words huge, major or even success. So...

To add even further to this, I quote from the article I posted on the previous page. "Burraq is the country's latest domestically produced UAV, is based on the Falco-Selex Galileo technology and is believed to be intended as the Pakistan's main equivalent to the American Predator. "PAC...

What's so difficult to understand in it? It means F-16 is being made by Lockheed Martin not USAF, Rafale is being made by Dassault not French airforce, J-10 is being made by CAC not PLAAF but the JF-17 has actually PAF employees working on it as opposed to just giving out requirements...

Pakistan moves to drone independence QUETTA, Pakistan - Having already gained experience and guidance from the United States on the effective use of drones, Pakistan is working on its own Predator-like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which have helped revolutionize warfare. The growth of...

JF-17 is a new plane and every new plane goes into a long period of successive weapons integration and field trials. This usually lasts around 4-5 years in which weapons are integrated and field trials are conducted. Some of the weapons have been integrated while others will be done in due...
