Because they play two different roles. MI-35 is armed troop carrier ( Bradford truck armed with ATGM and Rockets ) where as AH-1F is your armored Jeep Pajero armed with ATGM and Rockets.
Try driving both in dunes of mingora and see which is easy to maneuvers vs the other and which one is big /...
More then likely Miniature Nuclear power plant, hard to design and build. For example, Ruskies being doing it for over 50 years and have had radiation leak, performance issues etc. Hopefully better safety design now for them then what they fielded back in 70s, 80s and 90s.
IN was able to Lease...
For faster travel to patrol point, PN can't project power in Bay Of Bengal with SSKs as has no close by friendly base where it could refuel, re-supply itself, or going down to Bombay port to harass merchant shipping. AIP will let you stay submerged for long period of time but will not enable you...
If F-16s are hard to come by then how will you manage F-15s ? you ( PAF ) has no F-15 infrastructure in place. Will KSA allow you to use their ? or the Qatri ? KSA is upgrading their F-15 fleet, Qatar is getting newer one anyway. If F-16s, which PAF has infrastructure in place to support 114+...
I thought the news was that work on second boat starting soon, no mention of contract to work on the third boat. The work on third boat or no work was discussed her a while back, if work on the third A-90 has started then its news to I, good news none the less.
The news I await anxiously is the...
PLAAF H-6H/M are Missile carriers, their target of interest are far from the Main Land China. Same is / was the case for Russia / USSR, their Bomber fleet had to travel well into Atlantic / Pacific Oceans to carry out strikes. The above model doesn't apply for the PAF, Pakistan is not interested...
Off Course, more dedicated jammers are needed, likely a very good lesson learned out of the Feb-26-27 fiasco. I am surprised PAF is not looking at adding additional 72/100 odd fighters based on how the month long constant patrol showed lack of coverage towards the end.
US, China, Russia, France...
You also have 2 A-70s, plus are you sure that two A-90s are going through retro-fit ? My understating was that one be going through upgrade and other will wait till it first one was done and back in service so their would be two A-90s available at all times.
I think it was some Indian Defense...
With decades of experience in dedicated EW platform, which option do you wager your bet on ?
In all likely hood, both options as PAF is already using both ( non Growler type, just self protection, which in it self EW for the platform. )
PS: Unlikely a Growler type unless the Bear issues a NoC...
Text Quote "on two weapons stations able to handle 60 kgs of municipal each." That is awesome, Pak needs hundreds of these to clear out all the dead weight in most of its municipalities through out the country. However, something tells me that they will have to up the carrying capacity by double...
Depression, sadly it is hard to recognize, accepted or treated even in Western World, properly or on time. What good did it do for his family at the end ?
Some will even say that he took the easy way out, though very violently on himself.
Egypt's F-16s are funded by me ( and other tax payers like me in the US ) tax $.
Back in 70s and early part of 80s, kingdoms put $ in Saddam's hand to enable Iraqis to stand up against the Iranians, now same is being done with Egypt ( French, Russian ) equipment to stand up against Turkey...
Someone had pointed out here that ANKA was being purchased by NESCOM in a very limited numbers and not directly by PAC/PA/PAF/PN.
Did something change ?
Is / are there not a steel plant(s) in the country that can do that ? if not then it makes sense else it just taking work away from what already exists and adding $ to the bill.
Subs are like CIA, not many know the successful attempts, only failures are known. PN Subs play the same with them as well, the thing is to horn your skills to detect so when time comes then so the odds favor you.
3 A-90B and 8 Yuan type, I think PN still has room to add another 4 if not 7 to...
-Last 7 years integration has been Near real Time Flow of Information
Hard to decipher as if system is 7+ year old so couldn't be the B model or final system is based off B model. Lots of ambiguity, typical good way to keep most guessing.
