I would have liked if Bilal Khan should have explained the pros and cons of induction of J 11Ds or J16s.
Regarding J10s,
1) J10C with aesa, F16s without aesa.
2) Cost effective against F16s
3) Sanction free, F16s are not.
4) Non stop supply of spares, no guarantee in case of F16s
5)...
Thanks for the information Sir. If we have to wait for almost 2 years and we have the option to go for 10 more, then the order of other 10 should also be given right away when america is willing to give us these jets rather than a year later when such deal may become difficult. Regards.
Pakistan purchased Agosta 90Bs with TOT. What is the reason that we are not producing anymore subs in Pakistan. If some systems are of any issue, we may incorporate chinese systems in the design of Agosta 90Bs. Is there any issue with it. Furthermore, what is the minimum requirement of frigates...
Its good to have 8 F16s for free almost. However, what about the recent offer of lockheed Martin to produce F 16s in india. If indians accept the offer, how long will it take to make the F 16 manufacturing plant operational? How may planes can be produced in a year by indians? How long will it...
its a heads we win tails you lose situation. I say that let america cancel the deal so that F 16 mafia may bite the dust and then we may procure J 16, Su 35 etc. series. Even, J 10 with AESA is a force to reckon with
Such kind of desperation of foreign companies and love is really difficult to understand. I mean india is not at war with China that such tech will be pouring in from west. For Pakistan, india already has enough weapons. However, it is a cause of concern for Pakistan if such things happen and...
i hope to see M 777s and M109 A7 howitzers in Pakistan colours.
A bit off topic, It is on the net that Pakistan procured turkish panters 155mm artillery systems under TOT. Agreement. Are more panters being produced? If yes, then m 777s, panters and m109 a7s will considerably improve our...
The foremost thing PAF should do is to increase production of JF 17s to 50 units per year. The timeline should be that PAF should have additional 100 JF 17s by the mid of 2018 which means PAF should have 220 JF 17s if they PAF go by this strategy. Add to it 86 F 16s, we will have a force of 300...
Yes and now is the time that Pakistan should go for some dual engine platform from China i.e. J 16 as imho we may get all or even more from J 16 than what might have got from Su 35. Furthermore, i would like to know the radars on the F 16s we are getting.
Regards
Good deal as they are coming for free. Initially, it was reported that these F-16s will be worth 1.5 billion dollars $ which was mind boggling and extremely questionable. Now, with 700 million dollars, it is making sense as we are not paying for it. So good luck PAF!
However, focus must be...
How much investment in the project is being sought? If say 2 billion dollars of investment will get Pakistan to license produce them locally in 2 years time or if PAF gets 2 squadrons of FC 31 in 2 years time, then, its not a bad investment.
Is there any possibility of licensed production of selex tech at PAC kamra especially if we intend to procure around 150 to 200 kits ? Furthermore, i would recommend a mix of selex and chinese aesa on JF 17 i.e. a 50-50 number. It is not sensible and advisable imho to put all eggs in one basket...
Ah our blind love for F 16s. I love this plane too but its like that beauty for which you have to fulfill a huge set of demands which is way too risky. However, as our nation doesnt want to look somewhere else, so they may fulfill their wish as we will only learn after when we suffer. You go...
