I think you misunderstood me. I had been very vocal supporter of PTI govt till Asad Umar was sacked.
Yes may be(and I hope) Hafeez Sheikh continues or even does better than AU. But I am very apprehensive and I have good reasons to be apprehensive.
1) News coming from PTI-circles is that JKT...
So a question, 33 Mirage-IIIs were upgraded to ROSE-I standard. Even assuming some of them crashed; thats still around 2 squardon strength of ROSE-I. No7(Bandits) is one which is the other one? CCS squadron?
The deliveries for aircraft happened some time ago. I even posted on AEW&C thread.
@Bilal Khan 777 confirmed that Radar and other system will be ordered from Saab; while conversion to AEW&C will take place in PAC.
So overal:
AEW&C: 6 x Saab-2000 AEW&C + 4 x ZDK-3 [Saab 2000 AEW&C 4 - 1 + 3 =...
I think Mirages may be a good addition; but I think we should only go for them if:
- French give us the ability to integrate local weapons on these e.g. Raad ALCM, H2/H4, Takbir REK etc.
- French are ready to help us setup local maintenance facilities so that we can operate these for some time...
The initial report of 2 pilots MAY have been miscommunication. Asian Times article pointed in this direction that 2 different units reported a captured pilot. GHQ thought it has got 2, while eventually it turned out both units were reporting about the same pilot. And before you draw any...
Depends on whether we really have dead body of second pilot or that was just a miscommunication.
I think PAF would know from its radar data, approximate area where wreckage fell. If the approximate location is ever leaked into public domain then I think OSINT/think tank community has enough...
1) India does not have 2/3rd of Kashmir as you claimed in one of you earlier posts. By area; 35% of Kashmir is with Pakistan. 17% with China and remaining with India which is roughly 48%. So sorry let alone 2/3rd you don't even occupy majority of the area.
2) The Kashmir war continued for over...
- JF-17 Block III with AESA, HMS, HOBS AAM(hopefully) and integration of other PGMs and SOWs. The Air-to-Air Refueling, HMS, HOBS AAM and Software Upgrades/Weapons Integrations will easily make their way to Block I/II. Although same can not be said about AESA radar which will be an expensive...
So shouldn't you be embarrassed that a Coast Guard service is able to localize you most advanced submarines? Not once by twice in few years.
But then we have heard similar things in past as well:
- Indian Su-30 MKI is superior to anything PAF has. One squardron of MKI will destroy whole PAF...
Look closely, he sat in trainer(dual seater), while the video of takeoff and landing seems to be of single seater.
Even 1st comment on Youtube(probably from an Indian), notes this.
