guest :p I don't think anything has been made public as yet except that "an AESA radar of a different make is also on offer". Seeing that there are only a handful of AESA radars, one can guess. Btw, a lot of people get too excited by the word AESA and automatically consider it superior...

PAF pilots have been flying the UAE blk 60 for some time now (and I believe even the technicians there are also PAF personnel?) so I suppose they have plenty of experience in that area. The primary reason, I believe, is to allow China to mature its engine and also avionics (I believe it...

J-11 has potential advantages over J-10 some of which are greater room for a better radar, more load carrying capability, longer range, etc. Even the Chinese officials have stated that J-11 is the premier fighter from China.

Air power may either end war or end civilization. —Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 14 March 1933. Once the command of the air is obtained by one of the contended armies, the war must become a conflict between a seeing host and one that is blind. — H. G. Wells Not to...

thank you for the appreciation. Glad you like it.

old pic I found on skyscrapercity.com Dunno if it has been posted before, JF-17 being transported to IDEAS 2008.

These are the previously embargoed PAF F-16A/B blk 15 OCU not block 52. The block 52 (as well as MLU) will have APG-68v9

Today, COAS Gen. Ashfaq Pervaiz Kiyani flew in an F-16 and took part in the ongoing operation in Swat.

^^ Its not an "update" and neither was it missed. We know about it since Nov. 2008. That document is from IDEAS 2008 held at karachi. It also mentions that the french RC-400 radar and MICA BVRAAMs are on offer and also AESA radar (without naming it) is on offer for JF-17. Pretty old news...

It certainly is quite different and contains mostly (if not all) Chinese equipment. But the design is still Russian and there is something called "intellectual property rights" that come into play in international laws. Russia should not have a problem with us buying the J-11 since it won't...

As I said before, this is a JF-17 only thread. I do not want to convert this into a JF-17 vs LCA. That has been done a lot of time before. Therefore, I won't go into details here. You obviously did not read that thread I told you...it contains everything and in good details( all about...

Man, I don't feeling like going over all again to explain everything. Your facts are wrong on almost all accounts. I have talked about this in greater detail with all the links in the JF-17 vs LCA thread. Here's the thread ...

36-40 FC-20 is the initial order, more will follow as and when financial circumstances permit and depending on the experience of the FC-20. Its a new plane for us...we need to fly and see before making further orders. PAF will have 150 high end fighters. 60 of them are F-16 (blk 52+MLU) so that...

Sorry if I cause some confusion here. I thought the title of pictures would have made it clear- the first one is the "MI-17 being offloaded in Islamabad" while the second picture is just to show how a helicopter is off-loaded and how the transport plane looks like. It wasn't meant to show it...

thanks for the post. I think you are misjudging the thing. There cannot be such a thing as a "nuclear surgical strike". Nuclear itself is not surgical to begin with but mass destruction. Even a leak from a well protected housing in Chernobyl was enough to render the city unlivable. A...

Would help you if you did some research before posting. I don't want to turn this into a vs thread. I have posted enough material on both on the JF-17 vs LCA thread. Just a few facts - LCA is heavier than JF-17 - LCA does NOT have an AESA radar - LCA currently has limited weapons load...

I believe the Su-30 has an RCS of 10-15m². F-15 (older ones) have an RCS of 15m² while F-16 has an RCS of 1.2m² I think standard fighter size is considered 3m² by most people.
