Saab Erieye has full 360° Azimuth coverage. Its been posted here quite a few time from the official saab 2000 brochure.

Its not easy a comparison. Can you quote me one official source that gives the weight of J-10 and its Thrust? All we have are speculated figures from forums. The F-16 with a single engine is competing against twin-engine aircrafts for the indian MRCA. As I said, I do not believe the...

Sorry, I couldn't find the pics on the net. Will post if I find them. In the mean time, the picture posted by pengiun and a similar helicopter being off-loaded might help reconstruct how this might look like. Mi-17 being delivered to Islamabad by US on June 10. A similar picture of a...

What??? Mastan Sahib, such a statement from a gentleman like you? I don't know what people's perception of Nuclear weapons are not ordinary weapons you can employ just to destroy an opponents base. They will not only destroy an airbase but the entire city near it and make it uninhabitable...

The additional helicopters are meant to enhance Pakistan’s capabilities to care for the hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis who have been displaced from their homes by the fighting. –APP Photo

The J-10 has a delta wing with canards that make it "similar" to EF and Rafale, but the J-10a definitely lags behind in avionics to either of EF or Rafale. A lot of these "official reports" are just to convince congressmen for more funding. A similar report had also claimed Saddam had WMDs. I...

As PAFAce has said, it is what China wants. China terminated the Su-27 and went ahead to build the J-11. It doesn't need MKI's when it can build its own. China has no one to fear at the moment (no threat or war is imminent). Why would China go and buy a TVC engine or a PESA radar for a stop...

Russia isn't even willing to deny China the PAK-FA technology, which India is co-financing and we are talking about Mig-35 which India will only be a buyer. India got the Su-30, China got not only the Su-30 but also the whole Su-27 technology (from which they built the J-11). China also got...

PAF will keep a total roughly 400 fighters of which at least 150 will be "high-tech" with good payload and range -- that is F-16 + FC-20. F-16 will be new blk 50 + MLU ones which will be almost at par with blk 50/52 . We will have around 60 F-16s by 2011 (blk 52 + MLU). 36 FC-20 will...

Lots of people refer to the complete system of pilot command +FCC+Sensors+automatic correction as "fly-by-wire" as opposed to just replacing the hydraulics by electrical wires. I don't think Munir meant replacing electrical wires by hydraulics when he talked about turning FBW but actually...

From what I hear in the chinese forums, the only difference is that PT-06 uses all chinese instruments- radar, antennae, ejection seat, etc. It didn't even make much news and most even doubted it existed.

Gambit, I believe what Munir is referring to is FBW both as a FBW system and as FCS. The system has build-in checks that will not allow you to do maneuvers that potentially gets you into irrecoverable postion. The computer code on the system just won't allow you to do so. For example, take...

Translation courtesy of hmmwv from CDF I'm way too tired to do a translation so here are a few points. 1. This is pretty much a summary of the FC1 program, some history stuff that we've heard many times. 2. 42 kits will be delivered in 3 years, it'll take Pakistan up to 3 and half years to...

hj, that post is from Usman Shabbir, the admin of Pakdef while the article is from Usman Ansari and I don't think the two are the same person. However both of them, and quite a few other people , have mentioned that JF-17 is now fulll FBW. If you recall, ex-PAF chief when asked to make...

Yep, found this

IceCold, I believe these are MK-82 General purpose bombs ( or one from the MK 80 familiy). The picture is not very clear, but I can see some extra fins in the tail. So it could be that they are GBU (guided bomb units) but without the laser seakers. As you may already know, GBUs are nothing...

Yes, I apologize if my words came across harsh to PakPower. That was not the intent. I hope he understands that if he wanted to ask for the right section to post, he should have done so politely irrespective of whom he is asking and specifically so, when a senior member like Fatman is...

I believe it is for creating the colored smoke, but I could be wrong.
