If this sector commander thingy is true. It means establisment messed up big time.
1) First they sent Nawaz despite IKs reservations
2) Had there not been an FIR would have been much better for state, federal govt and armed forces. PTI was already creating noise on political front. Imagine what...
So based on above article do we know which if any missiles already in PN inventory can be launched by ATR MPAs?
From past live firing videos it seems Exocet launched from Sea King launch this way i.e missle is released and afterwards it turns on its rocket.
Do we have any video of C802 launch...
Thank you, at least now I know my memory serves me right.
Look, I just stated what was out in the public domain. And 'Tempest II' confirmed that he remembers the same. So it is not case of me not remembering correctly.
I think only PAF will be better position to predict what it needs:
i)...
If I remember correctly:
Some years ago this question was asked by some air force magzine or article to PAF official. I think the answer was that while JF-17 can carry 4 BVRs but since the current radar(KLJ-7 V1 & V2) can only engage two targets at a time so the standard Air-to-Air config PAF...
Being very conservation here is what likely happened:
F16 fired at SU-30 as it might have threatened the Strike Package. Su-30 did evasive maneuver & escaped with non-fatal damage. Pilot was able to recover the aircraft to an airbase.
This explains:
i) Initial News on Indian Channel that...
Add(as per MoDP Yearbook 2017-2018):
5 YLC-18A
and 10 Low Level Radars(type not mentioned)

Few questions:
- Why did PAF not buy AIM-9X HOBS WVR Missile with Block50/52+, MLU deal. Given PAF acquired JHMCS. Can existing AIM-9M/L variants be upgraded to AIM-9X standard?
- What about AIM-120C5, can they be upgraded to D standard or something with similar if not exactly D.
I think the...
So I do not understand based on all publicly available evidence, what are Indians happy about. If anything they should be kicking their Air Force Chief.
Even if we are brutally strict this how the score would stand for both Air Forces:
26th Feb:
i) IAF strikes: Shallow Airspace Violation of...
Just Phalanx CIWS.

I don't think for a single ship PN will embark on any kind of upgrade program specially given in that acquiring such a upgrade from US will be difficult in every possible way.
So technically Alamgir will remain a ASuW/ASW asset which either has to operate in pair with...
Well ICJ verdict is a win-win for both:
- ICJ ruled that Pakistan committed violation of Vienna Convention so India possibly will get counselor access. But that pretty much only thing India will get.
- ICJ has ruled that Pakistan in a way of "its own choosing" review and reconsider that trial...
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Performing very well does not always have to mean kills.
Given the public information most likely it means following:
That ECM-Radar-Weapons combo on JF-17 performed very well. Mirages bugging out due to faulty radars probably means JF-17 probably would have...
F16B does not req. second crew to operate, it can carry out all ops that a A variant can do with a single pilot (specially air-to-air ops).
Although as mentioned number of times by @Windjammer; in Hassan's case there was a GIBS but he was senior ranking officer who was there for overall...
Firstly, you conveniently missed the following part:
Missile flight data fed back to the F-16 fire control computer in real-time, seemed to indicate that the missile had made its mark. Though hard evidence by way of aircraft wreckage or aircrew casualties has not been available so far, the...
Why are people getting all flared up on KT mentioning that F-16 scored the Air-to-Air Kills.
1) F-16s are not owned by USAF. The are PAF's property, flown by PAF Pilots. So we should be happy that PAF F-16s gave them a beating.
2) Yes it would have been cherry on top of the cake had JF-17...
This is how our media confuses masses.
So firstly there are using terms budget & fiscal deficit loosely and interchangeably. They are different. In our case:
budget deficit = expenditure - (revenue + borrowing)
fiscal deficit = budget deficit + borrowing = expenditure - revenue
So as you can...
Based on the news that came out afterwards and how things are shaping up in days following the sacking, to me has more to do with internal politics of PTI. The 'Na-Ehal Tareen' as AU himself referred to in his speech in Parliament.
i) The news of AU sacking first came out while AU was in...
I think the one you are referring to is 'Zarb'(Land based Anti-Ship Missile). It based on C602.
While Harba(the one which was tested yesterday) is based on Babur and is Ship launched Cruise Missile with Anti-Ship & Land Attack capabilities...
