Strange it did not occur to Janes and those western defense analysts they are quoting that it could very well have been the Mirages what were fitted with refueling pods? or am I missing something?

^^ originated from "rupeenews.com" (or was it strategypage?). In either case, nothing more than fanboy stuff.

Funny how you get to read your own translation and your own post as "reported from another source." The text you have quoted above was first posted here on defence.pk and by non other than yours truly Check this thread (click)

The last and most reliable news were heard from the PAF chief himself. FC-20 technical negotiations are "almost over", some systems have to be developed and tested, Pakistan would like a radar of "its own choice" and the delivery dates are around 2013-14. PAF is also seeking credit facility for...

Two dead as plane crashes into house during aerobatic display Two Indian pilots were killed during an aerobatic display on Wednesday when they lost control of their plane and crashed into a residential home. The plane had gone into a plunging dive fifteen minutes into the display but could...

JF-17 thunder, SAAB 2000 Erieye AEW&C, IL-78 IFR tankers, and MBDA Spada 2000 air defense system....this year's Exercise High Mark is indeed going to be a "high mark" for PAF and the armed forces in general. Best of luck JF-17 and long live Pakistan Armed Forces!

There is a wind tunnel at PAC kamra that I know for sure. Other than that, there are some UAV developing enterprises that probably (though I am not sure) have some facility. Nescom/AWC (air weapons complex) must have one too since they are responsible for the missile development. All these...

Its an old article I posted a few days ago and also highlighted the errors. Here's the link to that thread

That Nawa-i-Waqt "news" sounds like BS to me. Firstly, Babur is not an Air-to-air missile and secondly, babur is nuclear capable. I think they are trying to cover up their earlier blunder and since when have Brahmos missiles become Inter-continental? Frankly speaking I have little trust in...

You won't find it either. Neither China nor Pakistan publishes such things in the open.

Well, if you see it that way then there is no gurantee either what a Fighter jet is dropping. Fat Man and little boy were dropped using a bomber. I agree thought that missiles in general will raise more eyebrows and cause more suspicion on what its carrying. As far as deep strike mission are...

Using that logic, Su-17 must be similar to Su-30MKI and the PAK-FA since both the engineering and engine come not only from the same country but even the same company. And just for the record, F-7 is hardly "Chinese engineered". Its more a copy of Russian Mig-21 with limited parts of chinese...

APG68v9 radar used in PAF F-16 blk 50/52+ The APG68v9 radar can simultaneously track upto four targets and boasts a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing capabilities. In addition, the radar also has auto-calibration capabilities and interactive interference filtering. The so-called...

Thanks Webmaster. Someone PM'ed me so I see it now.

qsaark sahib, I think you are overlooking the obvious. JF-17 was a JV and and any additional demand from PAF would mean an extra contract with revised dev. charges. IRF is not something beyond PAF's capability for it to seek Chinese help in it. Either way, with tankers (at that time) IFR...

By Our Correspondent LAHORE THE Institution of Engineers Pakistan (IEP) arranged a technical lecture on JF-17 Airframe Co-production Project here at Engineering Centre on Monday. The event was chaired by IEP President Engineer Sarfraz Ahmad. IEP Secretary General Engineer Brigadier (Retd)...

you can detect (approximates) the type of aircraft, speed, direction, etc using a radar. Once that has been determined, it is possible to filter out standard information and estimate the amount and type of weapons being carried by the plane. Weapons themselves are big time reflectors, and...

A lot of that would be compensated by the information available to the pilot from his systems on his flight instruments and situational awareness provided by AWACS and ground based C&C. Gunfighting is almost obsolete so anything and the closest you would be getting is for firing ASRMs...

That does not have to be necessarily so. The high cost of Mirage upgradation has (atleast in part) to do with the amount of work that needs to be done. For example, just to put some new instruments, they virtually need to upgrade (almost) the whole wiring and some other stuff. That just in...

Nawaz was not an army chief, I am asking specifically of musharraf era that you mentioned, MANY As far as Afia is concerned, its a claim that has been denied by Musharraf and govt. Everyone is free to disagree or register a case in the courts. So you do not have a SINGLE name with evidence.
