Time factor. Another platform would have required waiting till atleast 2012-13 to get delivery of the first platform. Besides, the SAAB can be used for about 9.5 hours at one stretch which is quite satisfactory for an AEW&C.

:frown: Pakpower, please show some respect to others especially senior members like Fatman. You are posting irrelevant material here that do not fall in the sub-forum's domain. Every sub-forum as an explanation text put by it so people can follow that. Its your fault if you did not read...

Pk_thunder, thanks for the video, but that's just some youtuber's opinion. He could have added a F-22 if he wished. Personally, I do believe PLAAF would induct some JF-17- because they have a commitment to it, and you do not commit unless the plane is of utility to you. Secondly, with so many...

Quoted from SDF Just found this from a Chinese Forum...

PakPower, why are you suddenly posting 1-2 year old news again? I hope you just didn't find that out today that F-18 are going for AESA. Its quite an old news and as Fatman said, this section is only for Pakistan.

NO, PAF doesn't have any F-16 blk 52 at this moment. These pictures are from PAF calender 2009.

4-why jf17 dosnt hav only leading edge flaps,flaps and horizontal stablizers like f16,su-30 etc..? Well, different planes are optimized for different roles and there are different way to achieve what you want. JF-17 uses LEX to achieve high angle of attack so LEF might not be necessary for it.

500 are AIM -120-C5 which will be used on F-16s only. If you compute out the ratio i.e 500 AMRAAM for 60 F-16 fighters, well you can figure out an estimate on how many AMRAAMs will be sought for 250 JF-17s.

Yes, it was posted in the AEW&C section couple of days ago.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but the US offer to resume sale came in 2004/5 not right after 9/11. So it is wrong to say that PAF kept waiting for 4 years. Also its wrong to assume that we had "abundant wealth" during that time. Our financial situation started getting better our 2004-2006...

Pakistan can secure India-like civil N-deal with US: Reidel Monday, June 01, 2009 NEW YORK: US President Barack Obama’s key Adviser on South Asia Bruce Riedel has said Pakistan, too, can secure a civil nuclear deal with the US, similar to what Washington recently had with India, but it...

Can you please post a few links to where this rumor is being discussed?

There will definitely be an IRST. Its not a speculation, its even mentioned on the PAC website and it was repeated in one of the interviews I have read. I think we do manufacture some part of it (front fuselage?), no? Even if a deal is made about the mirages, the UAE won't let them go until...

Gripen was rejected because - It has american content and is prone to direct US sanctions - Its a european plane whose owner countries share same interest as West/US so it might come under sanctions - Current Gripen is a Air Superiority fighter, while PAF is looking for a Multi-Role fighter. -...

I am sorry if you misunderstood me. I never say that you are claiming F-15 to be F-22 type stealthy. The F-15 might have significantly reduced its RCS, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it a stealthy airplane which is the title of this thread. Regarding wing area, extra hardpoint might not...

Let me make it easier to pick - PDF mods show reliable sources that say 55-60 - Indian media reports says 55-60 - Indian fanboys and Indian forums say 100+ and they are quoting wikipedia.

Munir, some Chinese members and even some pakistani members have claimed that there indeed was a prototype-06- apparently with all Chinese equipment including UHF/VHF antennae, HUD, etc as opposed to PT-04 which had some avionics of foreign origin like Pak HUD, possibly Israeli radar, etc...

US lab introduces super laser SAN FRANCISCO: A US weapons lab on Friday pulled back the curtain on a super laser with the power to burn as hot as a star. The National Ignition Facility's main purpose is to serve as a tool for gauging the reliability and safety of the US nuclear weapons...
