Oh dear. The level of paranoia exhibited by some members is unbelieveable. Back on topic, I fear the UK govt. has lost what little credibility it had with Pakistanis and muslims as a whole. Their approach to combating extremism by throwing money at it through the PVE (Preventing Violent...

And who is going to pay for this??? Contrary to popular thought, when it comes to defence procurement, the Armed Forces are not ran by a bunch of crackpots and they know what they're doing. It's about getting a balance between capabilities and cost or as some would say "bang for 'buck"...

In my opinion yes, and it would appear, so do the Armed Forces. The 4 IL-76/8 tankers that have been ordered from the Ukraine I believe are used. In addition to this, you have the intended procurement of the KC-135 from the US in order to offer a refueling platform for the F-16. It...

Correction. Jet engines were developed in England and Germany separately at the same time (30/40s) by Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain. The difference being Sir Whittle's jet engine became operational and formed the basis of jet engine design in the East and West for the next decade. On your...

And your point is??? Like I said, I don't associate myself with any country. Why does Britain need to send people to the moon? What does it achieve? We have no intention of colonising the moon! ;) The human rights record of China speaks for itself. You have dragged this thread off...

I'm not english. I'm British. Even then, those who know me will tell you that there isn't an ounce of pride within me. The "great asian nation" you refer to is the same nation that this past ramadhan banned our muslim brothers' in Xinjiang from fasting and continues up to this day to oppress...

How do you define a 4th/5th generation engine? There are a still a few 4th generation fighters out there that are using engine derivatives from the 50/60s Agreed. With regards to engine technology and avionics in particular, In my opinion China is 20 years behind the West. It speaks volumes...

Relying on China is self-reliance? Interesting.

F-20 Google Image Result for http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/F-20_flying.jpg JF-17 http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/china/images/JF-17_taxi.jpg Apart from the nose region, I don't see much of a difference. They roughly have the same dimensions and apparently...

People could say the same for the JF-17. I dare say you've compared the extremely similar specs and appearance of the JF-17 and F-20 Tigershark?

How ridiculous! One newspaper article and everyone goes into a panic! Most of what is written the the article is jibberish. On the whole the government has made the right moves in regards to the economy when it came to nationalising the banks. However, I would prefer it if the govt. put more...

Salam. In my opinion, the major weak link in the PAF at the moment is logistics. A US military report describe the Pakistan air force as suffering from a 'long-term airlift shortfall'. Currently the C-130 forms the backbone of the PAF transport fleet with 20-30 aircraft, all of which are the...

Are you referring to the Eurofighter or F-22. If you are referring to the eurofighter then you are incorrect. It is commonly spouted in almost every media outlet that the UK is paying £60million (circa $120million) per fighter. This is incorrect. In a leaked report, it was revealed that...

Tell that to the Russians. They seemed to be quite happy to use it in such a capacity in Chechnya. An old report you say? That comment was posted in 2007, a lot more recent than your bharat rakshak article I dare say. I've been through your article and various others. The mi-35 has nothing...

Sure. The following is a short comment by a US Army helicopter pilot who has served in Iraq, Afghanistan and who knows where else: "It is very vulnerable to heat-seeking manpads. It makes a crappy troop transport. You can't do efficient fast rope or rappelling insertions. You cannot do SPIE or...

This is incorrect. By all accounts, the Hind is literally a flying tank, with poor manoverability and visibility for the pilots. The only thing it has got going for it is it's straight line speed, which given it's role is almost useless. regards

Guys, I'd take read this article with a huge pinch of salt. Despite this guys technical qualifications, In many professionals' opinion he is nothing more than an over-hyped computer nerd (google him) who has no more than a handful of sim hours under his belt. Best leave the analysing to the...

What a ridiculous video. Who the hell evaluates a planes performance with silly parameters such as top speed and MTOW? :what: One thing I do agree with 1) Eurofighter ;) Eid Mubarak to all!

http://www.nps.edu/Academics/SIGS/NSA/publicationsandresearch/studenttheses/theses/Acosta03.pdf In my opinion, this research paper by the US is a very well sourced and accurate report into the Kargil conflict. It's a long read. Enjoy!!!

rather than starting a new thread, I thought I should post this notification here: http://www.dsca.mil/PressReleases/36-b/2008/Pakistan_08-99.pdf A potential deal for 8 cobra helicopters, seems like Zardari has been busy.
