Well hopefully this will end the usual comment of 'Carrier Fighter for Land Airforce ? how absurd' statements. least we can hope. It was always fun to watch Kuwait Airforce A-4s flying around the airport, good memories.

I had raised this question year or so ago on this forum and was advised / told that the Oman had reversed it's decision on granting Indian access to the facilities.

Kind Sir, with all due respect I write this and I mean no disrespect to you or any other member. I have no insight track into the PAF, nor I have ever been part of PAF or it's community. I was merely answering a post by one of forum member as to adding HPs on the fuel tank similar to M-III/V and...

Sorry, damn my dry sense of humor didn't get through my post. Apologizes, but am pleasantly surprised that I didn't get accused of writing a thesis on it, least yet so far as the day is still young. MIR

M-III / V didn't have enough HPs to carry the load but you have 2 middle HPs on the JF-17 wings to carry what M-III/V tried to by adding HP to fuel tanks and with much better load / efficiency. Plus Smart munition makes the Fuel Tank HP redundant, now if you would like to add an HP to Fuel-Tank...

So true, I left the IIAF F-14s as it was selected by then Shah rather then the Air-Force, but either way an awesome combo he signed ( F-14s providing top cover for F-16s ), IIAF would have been a force to reckon with. I excluded A-7s even though PAF coveted it through out the 70s ( OMG , PAF...

If not Mistaken, PAF tried something similar after the 2005 Earth Quake, the $ ended up else where. There should be seperate funds for these type of projects, one can't place $ restrictions on defense. Nukes don't win wars, they deter up to some point, Feb 26/27 proved that despite being under...

Kuwait Airforce F-18s, no Carrier Australian Airforce F-18s, no Carrier Switzerland, F-18s, no Carrier Finland, F-18s, no Carrier and then we have Canada with F-18s. I left out few, as they are operating small numbers. Not sure why people get uptight when they hear that an Air-Force is using a...

They both have seeker, you can take a ( zoomed in, if needed be as in my case with equipment available ) picture of the missile in question, enlarge and you will see the glass bubble.

They already renegaded from that rule by producing more then 50 Blk-IIs, they may just produce 250 Blk-IIIs and phase out the I/IIs as they exhaust there airframe life. The incremental MLUs could bring about the enhancements periodically.

The Cessna looks more like a Special Mission aircraft then a VIP carriage.

In Pak case it due to the Size of the Army force / man power, thus the Martial Law chief is always Army in Pak case.

BP was rapi.g Pak Fex by way of fees for finding, extracting and supplying that (Sui ) Gas, not defending all of ZAB's actions, Pak likely would still be paying for Sui Gas long after the reserves have had exhausted. Kuwait nationalized it's oil fields, refineries and infrastructure, guess what...

Yes the M-III/V are effective but this Gas Guzzler can hardly Super Cruise. Currently there is nothing in the Inventory of PAF that can "Super Cruise."

Chinese will have to allow the integration, then it will take time for integration, test and evaluation. At the end of the day who will foot the bill for it ( testing, integration ) ?

Energy weapons, almost there.

On both cases, Boar and TTP, it wasn't the lack of Fencing, it was lack / lax of parameter patrol.

Not till SSNs are inducted, need speed and Endurance to get to station around Mumbai, Mangalore, Chennai or Bay of Bengal if PN wants to project an true offensive posture. SSNs will put IN Flat Tops on back foot deep in their own territory along with forcing IN to use P-8Is along their own cost...

Why do they need to replace anything ? why can't they be additional platforms to do xyz ?

Original PESA, suppose to be upgraded to AESA capable, however still retaining Rotating DISH.
