    Why doesn't PAF just do a "All F-16 units" flyby this Pakistan Day?

    It's an interesting idea but it has many issues with it as highlighted by other members. It is important to note that not ALL F-16s are operational at a given moment. Some are in reserve and some are mothballed to service others while our C-130's make routine flights to Baltimore/Denver to...

    Rafale performance review

    Sir aap ki to kya he baat. On the subject, JF-17 has 3 axis FBW. But yes, the overall flight envelope vis a vis superior power of Rafale would make it a nightmare, provided it is in hands of a capable pilot. But, then again, it comes down to who is a better pilot.

    Rafale performance review

    Okay. So there are two things. In modern fighter aircraft, there are two types (or only one) of limiters, namely G limiter and AoA limiter. They both do their own jobs to a) Protecting the pilot b) protecting the aircraft's structural integrity. In F-16, there is only AoA limiter (analog...

    IAF IL-76A-50E1 AEW&C No Match for PAF Saab 2000 Erieye Claims Global Defense Corp

    So Air India does not operate A330's. So my guess would be A320s. Having said that, this is what we're looking at (read: tons of modifications) 1. Brand new cockpit that integrates AEW&C specific systems. (its very different from airliners) 2) Structural modifications to the airframe that...

    Pakistan-China Joint Air Force Exercise "Shaheen-IX 2020"

    These shots are from Shaheen VII (apologies for typo earlier) that was held at Bholari. The shot of Mirage taking off is actually runway 04L I believe. The latest video from the exercise. Tandem seaters are currently used for OCU purposes and some testing. They'll be fully functional soon.

    Pakistan-China Joint Air Force Exercise "Shaheen-IX 2020"

    Yup. Some more information. On 19 August 2014 the Chinese J-11BH "Blue 24" intercepted a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine warfare aircraft that was over the South China Sea. Admiral John Kirby, the spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Defense told reporters that "An armed Chinese...

    27 Feb 19: PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace: DG ISPR

    In case anyone thinks Su-30 MKI is a hi-tech beast. A brand new MKI's cockpit. Straight from HAL final assembly. :D

    Peace gate 1 budgeted to 1.1B USD back in 1981. We acquired $500 Million 'loan' from Saudi Arabia that was later repayed.

    France turns the screws on Imran Khan, declines upgrade for Mirage, subs and more

    This is all hue and cry. The matter of Pak-French cooperation is more clinical than we think. Although, some of our major deals fell through due to variety of reasons such as India's acquisition of french equipment (Mirage 2000 upgrade, Scorpion subs, Rafales etc). However, not once have French...

    Pakistan Air Force | News & Discussions.

    Only Chinese officials are not allowed near US equipment. Sargodha houses both Jf-17s and F-16s. Block 52's are also deployed regularly in the south and centre along with JF-17s. During high mark, F-16s operate in and out of several bases that house JF-17s. Pakistan itself is not...

    Featured Indians are at it again - 40% of Pakistan's frontline fighter jets docked for a variety of reasons

    I dont blame you for not knowing about aircraft structures. The fact is, similarly to this funny report, you are ill-informed, and hence, the three words (read: lower fairing skin) have lead you to this conclusion that the report is legit and indeed JF-17 has structural challenges. Also. These...

    Featured PAF Kicks Off Motorway Operations 2020

    I'm glad you added the word 'imminent' to save face in case you see those birds in the near future. It's good for Pakistan anyway. My reputation has been built with my content/literature. And not graphics. There is a big difference. You cannot comprehend it. Also, F-15s did arrive like I said...
