You also need to understand that at any given time a third of the fleet is usually grounded for maintenance. Even during wartime, PAF cannot put everything it has in the air. That 2.5 to 1 ratio is more like 3.5 to 1
Why do you guys care so much about them having a few drinks?
The country is a shithole because of almost everyone is a "haramkhor". If all of you were actually "good Muslims" as you claim to be, you wouldn't be dealing with these types of people in power to begin with. Leaders are a reflection...
I think it's just poor translation.
From what i gathered, it says they're having issues because China cannot provide them engine spare parts. I don't understand why Bangladesh wouldn't approach Ukraine directly for spare parts.
I'm sure these are purchased to keep an eye in BLA terrorists movements on western border. It's cheaper to use this system vs other high-end platforms. Opportunity to launch missiles won't be on every sortie. It's better to loiter with a cheaper platform and have a couple of missiles available...
Have you also heard of licensing, void warranty/support, tempering with OEM equipment? There are many more terms that defines that a product can't be changed unless authorized by OEM.
And PAF has mechanics to replace parts to keep the fleet running.
The "engineers" would make their way to PAC...
Pakistani "engineers" can't just "tweak" an off the shelf product. If it was an easy fix it would've been done by the manufacturer long before.
And PAF has mechanics working for them not engineers just FYI.
They're having issues with F16s. Does that make Lockheed look bad?
It only highlights Iraqi incompetence in maintaining their assets. Don't buy something you can't afford to maintain. Simple as that.
Read up on how this vaccine is made. It's not made with using inactivated virus or dead virus, they made it using a completely different way. If successful this could be how future vaccines will be made.
Defender doesn't possess any capabilities to track navy ships or subs. That's just a small utility aircraft used my the maritime service for patrolling the shores keeping an eye on smugglers and what not.
There are only two MPA. RAS ATR72 and P3C which will hopefully be replaced with the Embraers.
