PAF has modded the RD-93 for some extra power / umph, in return they have scarified some life. IAF ( Israeli, had modded the F-16 engine to get more power out of them but in return reducing service life. ) If PAF is following the same then don't expect RD-93 to give you the listed Service life...

F-35 can Dash for 150 miles at 1.2 about 15 odd mins of flight, yes it was a sacrifice made to create a single platform for tri-services. I bet we don't do that again, if PAF thinks that Super Cruise is not needed and happy with how J-31 is handling itself with RD-93 then sure, go for it.

PAF should have logged 100K Hours on RD-93 by now, not 7K hours or you are quoting a very old report. Block-1 50 units, in around 10 years at 200 hrs / year = 2000 hrs / plane * 50 = 100K+ hrs just on Block-1s, now add 50% for Block-II and you should cross the threshold of 150K+ hrs. Perhaps...

Are you referring to D model with squarish Spine ? Yes, that houses electronics and other equipment that are located behind pilot on single seater.

It takes quite a bit of time to churn out able body crew for Ship and or Subs. You will need multiple sets of crew as well, the Yuan A-39 will help you churn those out but still it will take time. It's one thing to have the units and its another to be able to operate and utilize them to max...

I don't have disgust or hold any grudge against any of the M.E countries, secondly I am not senile enough to compare USAF to any or combined M.E Airforces, just too lopsided comparison in favor of the USAF. I am just pointing out what we saw during Iran-Iraq war, I will take your word that the...

So was Iraqi Air-force lessons learned during Iran-Iraq war, those lessons didn't help them much during 1st Gulf War. I lived in Kuwait during Iran-Iraq war, seen enough videos of Iraqi propaganda whenever we picked up Iraqi TV Channel out of Basra. We use to get amazed as to how a over-weight...

Think Package, seems nothing was learned from your side from the last encounter. SU-30s were touted to have greater capabilities then what Rafale posses.

Grrrr, if they use the same team then I wouldn't doubt it, I know that you are joking but just...

Doesn't J-10S canopy lifts upwards like F-16 B/D ? JF-17 couldn't sacrifice anymore internal space so they had to settle for side opening and went with JL-9 style instead of JL-10.

It seems PAC / CAC chose the team that designed the JL-9 canopy vs the team that designed JL-10 / L-15. JL-9 hinges on the outside, JL-10 / L-15 inside. Oh well, PAF / PAF Fans will just have to live with it.

PAF has only 60 K-8 Total, I could be wrong though

Partially true, now imagine that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had won elections and his cabinet's policies were pro India, how far things had to go that there would have been a civil war in West Pakistan vs East Pakistan ? Not defending ZAB, I liked some of his policies and then there are some that...

We were discussing year 2000, # of MPA at that time.

3 MPAs, are you sure ? I thought PN had 2 P-3Cs and 2/3 Atlantics as MPA.

They need Taxation more then deporting people, problem is that will Kuwaiti themselves be OK with the Taxation.

Once the richest country in the world per capita, sad state of affairs. There are days I do wonder why my dad was never offered Kuwaiti Citizenship or why the Pak embassy never put forth his name despite holding a very high profile job at KAC for about 30 years. While embassy recommended many...

Post 6850, port and starboard side lights are flipped.

It is going to be environmental nightmare when the panels come to EoL or fault out beyond repair, unless there are strict rules setup for disposal.

Supposedly they did not use certain features of their Radar per Russian request / insistence in overseas exercises like Red Flag etc. However, they did use the radars against the EFTs to fullest and bagged scores of kills by launching mock BVRs out of reach of EFTs radars / sensors and bugging...
