A couple of things come to mind. Firstly, F-15 is no where as "stealth" a plane as a F-22. Why, shape..because rounded shapes aren't the smartest way to reduce RCS. Secondly, size. A F-15 is a huge plane which means enough space to create an internal weapons bay to carry a meaningful...

PAF Airborne

And just how did you arrive at that conclusion? You seem to be pretty certain of the capabilities of both of them. Please compare and contrast the performance of both of them and add to my knowledge.

28th May 2009: Passing out Parade at PAF Academy Risalpur

I think this thread needs to be closed. The PAF AWACS news was already posted in the AEW&C discussion sticky thread. Its nothing new, we already know they are coming in late 2009.

KJ-200/ZDK03 :enjoy:

I agree. But the better idea would have been to not go the US way in the first place i.e order the 18 blk-52. Just get the 60MLU kits and have it done by whoever was willing to do it at the earliest. There are some advantages of going for 18 new F-16s since we have operated the plane for so...

"Meanwhile, France has offered Pakistan its RC-400 radar and MBDA MICA missile for the aircraft. However, AESA radar of different makes have also been offered to the Pakistan Air Force and the MBDA Meteor missile too is on the cards. Pakistan has begun negotiations with British, Italian, and...

Here's the video of that

The MBDA meteor is on the cards for the JF-17. This was reported during IDEAS 2008. You can check their online brochure but Meteor is still a bit far away from entering service.

The AIM-120 A/B is so yesteryear. Its like comparing something to F-16 but meaning the block 5.

SE, you asked the date and I gave you. If US changed its policy then the blk 52 will never arrive so its irrelevant to ask for the date. Personally, I do think US would deny the blk-52. They sanctioned us before because they did not need us, and because we won't be getting the same capability...

How did you come to that conclusion? and which AIM-120 are you talking about because they come as different variants. I think the AIM-120C5 and above is currently the best A2A missile before the MBDA Meteor arrives.

First 4 in June 2010

Welcome to latest news from 2006. Added: Isn't it the same channel whose news reporter was at Singapore Airshows reporting the JF-17 cockpit? lol

If you look at the GDP and foreign reserves of these countries, you will have your answer. And NO, I do not think Pakistan should go for Rafale. For $700m that we spent "by obtaining a loan", I think 42 JF-17 are better than 7 Rafales. The one compromise between the two extreme should...

PAF capable of destroying drones: Air Chief RISALPUR: Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleman Thursday said that air force destroyed several hideouts and caches of ammunitions of militants and paved the way for the military to make advance in the troubled areas of Swat. He said that air force...

What kind of details are you looking for? They perform the functions that you mentioned above. There are 5 mission operator consoles and they are role based so no difference between consoles i.e anyone can log in with his defined role on any console. You can even remotely control all the...

All this is old news but thanks for the refresher anyway.

Getting to 4.5gen has more to do with avionics than stealth. Mind you all these generation stuff is very vague and fuzzy. There is NO official way to classify generations. Its just a general term to indicate better avionics then previous fighters like early F-16, F-15,etc. The radome is...
