Chillax. Fukushima prefecture is on the Eastern seaboard of Japan. We don't know what caused the explosion yet. In the very unlikely event that there was a meltdown and the whole thing went up, the impact on the environment would be negligible due to the prevailing easterly winds

Following an EASA inspection, PIA wasn't able to verify that it had completed the necessary maintenance on the 747 and 6 of the A310 fleet due to shoddy maintenance record keeping. As a result, the 747 fleet and 6 of the A310s were banned from operating into the EU (2007-2008). The ban was...

Utter hogwash. I've put 1000s of rounds through the SA80 and can count on one hand the occasions on which it has jammed. Of those jams, 4 were magazine related. In it's current form, a very reliable system, albeit a slightly heavy one compared to it's contemporaries.

For the sake of your own health Azad, I suggest you take a break from posting on this thread. Your posts are full of inaccuracies. Now, I will try and address as many of the points as I can. 1- With regards the raked wing tips (and winglet extensions) PIA's 77W/77L have them by default as...

The point is Pakistan doesn't need the range or the endurance the A400M offers (needed for force projection). The C-130 is more than capable of carrying a good payload along the North-South axis which is no more than 1000nm at most. Further, C-130 operating costs are lower as the training...

The arcticle in the thread-starter refers to Pakistani Army Aviation choppers that are being overhauled by the US as part of an aids package. Also, what makes you think you know the needs of the PAA better than the army itself? Logistics has always been a major weakness of the Pakistani Armed...

Would it hurt you (Superfalcon,somebozo and mjnaushad) to actually read the arcticle and think before posting? This article refers to the maintenance and overhaul the US is providing to Pakistani Army Aviation Mi-17 choppers via third party contractors as part of an aid package. This "junk"...

Oh dear. It didn't take long for the armchair experts to appear and degrade the whole thread. The PA is facing a very tough fight with the Taliban in the Swat. The Aussies have a head start having fought the Taliban since their fall in 2001 around Helmand and Kandahar. The current PA strategy of...

Do you have a source?

The first SAAB2000 (without the ERIEYE suite) is already in Pakistan and has been for a few months. I believe it is being used for training purposes and crew familiaristaion. I don't know when the other four will be delivered.

Says who? Wikipedia? Or are you judging it by it's looks? Well said. This week it's the J-11, next week it'll be the MiG-35 and the week after, the F-22. Then we'll be back at square one. ;)

Thanks for the links to the pics Sancho. What makes you think that the Saudis will let the PAF fly them around??? Just to add to the points you've covered, the F-35 was selected by the Dutch as a replacement for the F-16. The F-35 overall is a much better multi-role fighter than the EF...

This will be last reply on this thread. I'm not sure why my ethnicity matters, but to clear the air, I am Pakistani. Imran Akhtar hence imiakhtar. You couldn't get a more Pakistani name if you wanted. I'll let you carry on with your assumptions.

Firstly, anything I have to say will be said on the open forum. Secondly, I may not post much, but I've been a member of this site longer than most users. I've seen it all. Some of the posts that I have commented on this thread are down right racist. You can not brand a whole race of...

I haven't generalised. Munir called arabs stupid. This is a generalistion and many would be offended by it. I responded by calling him arrogant. Then jihad called arabs arrogant. Another generalisation. There are arrogant, stupid people from all walks of life. Jihad should have been...

Way to generalise. Get off your high horse and lose the arrogance. You can not make blanket statements as such :crazy:

No, you're just an arrogant Pakistani.

Erm no, there is no caveat. Regardless of whether it gets a new engine or not, the JF-17 will be lucky if it breaks the 500 mark especially in this credit crunch. North Korea order 200??? Whoever came up with this list was obviously having a laugh. :enjoy:

I've said this many times before and I'll say it again. It's one thing building HP laptops but it is a totally different ball game to building your next generation X-band radar. In order to progress on that front, China needs R+D (Research and Development). Suffice it to say, this is almost...
