Hi Lo Mix, we couldnt afford the Hi Hi mix.
Hi Vipers and Lo the Thunders. J-10 in house was a bite that was too big to bite. Budget was allocated and we were set for the Vipers when the 2008 Earth quake happened and funds had to be redirected.
With the Absolutely Not on F-16, a replacement...
One thing that people who are not happy with this deal keep ignoring is that currently it is all estimates.
Any business is based on risk evaluation and testing. Please note that here the risk exposure to Barrick is 100%. As they are going to be investing and setting up everything without...
This is a high end game and it requires a lot of money, people from all levels are involved.
It is a huge industry
not relaible but still,

JF-17 exist because it was to be a cot effective bulk fighter force. Targeted replacement for F-7 and Mirage III/V. The heavy task was assigned to F-16. When the thunder program started it was clear that F-16 will be provided and we will have a sizeable fleet. However things went from bad to...
There were rumor that 02 Nos. Aesa Equipped Thunders were in air on the 27th. If they can jam comms then the neighbors are in for a big Pain. We will have a sizeable fleet of Aesa equipped Thunders and added J-20 (or whatever the PAF calls the birds when they land)
My fist remark stands still, current LCA is no where similar in capabilities to the Grippen.
Comprehension is not your forte. I said Could have gone the JV route and inducted the craft maturing it over time.
You were the ones glorifying how the Indian aircraft did in the exercise in USA and...
Tejas have gone through multiple goal changes and hence faced serious delay, the over zealous approach of doing everything in house was lets say "Biting more than you can chew". Kaveri got derailed, the whole indigenous mantra went to the drain with the integration of so many foreign components...
Compare the craft on ground, not on paper. Is this too difficult to understand. On paper it can have 6+gen capabilities but at this moment what it is that matters.
Right now it is a compromised acceptance by IAF as they want the MK-1A (don't go telling that IAF will not accept a compromise on...
No the Mirage of 2000 is better than the Sabre of the 60's, similarly the Teja of 2040 will be better than grippen of 2010. That is what is meant by comparing the two.
Everything in INDIAN articles is saying this new item will come. that will come. Just tell us what the SAMOSAA can do today...
Check the sources then try to build a narrative, if this is to go by then MKI has already decimated the entire PAF on the 26th February.
Talk with facts not wet dreams of things to come in future. Lets talk about what it is today. Your earlier article was saying similar in capabilities. As in...
One added advantage of J-10 is the sheer number of AC that the Chinese operate, They have grilled the plane and it will be updated as the mainstay single engine for PLAAF.
Second advantage is in case of combat, PAF can always loan a few to boost number and establish deterrence and plan...
What a sight it will be of we can do 23 March with JF-17 carrying Raad, J-10 carrying BVR package. For once we can skip F-16 from the parade to give out a strong message
The viper with aesa are a good enough match to what rafale can throw at paf.
That did not happen
Secondly I already said the numbers will be greater as it will be replacing the aging vipers so anywhere between 70 to 100 units depending on azm progress.
The reason for delay is that paf made...
If wishes are being granted than PAF should have opted for many other options. It is clear that the service number of JF-17 will be in excess of 250 units, plus the export potential and the learning curve. When the super-7 project started it was replacement for the F-7. PAF was not looking for...
I have one observation that everyone i feel is missing out.
We are constantly debating that RD-93 will not be able to power the Aesa at full capacity but we overlook the fact that it is an Aesa radar which can switch the number of modules required and can also regulate the power requirement...
The concern is if Pakistan is to pay the 6Billion $ then the company looses on all that it has worked for and with the valuation of the mine at worst being 250billion, leave everything aside it will still be able to generate a good 50 billion (125 billion minus lets say at max 75 billion costs)...
Well PAF wanted to scare the SH!T out of the Indian Chief so they used the guided munition and kept control of it till the last moment and then re routed the point of detonation. it was a very very strong message
