The appalling condition of these antiquate aircrafts is a sight for sore eyes for IAF. For God's Sake! either do not put Hi Res photos like this on the internet or retire these coffins that carry PAF pilots with literally their lives in their hands.
SEA SULTAN is correct.
RAS Germany can only do propeller aircrafts LRMPA conversion and that too for the ATR. They do not have jet conversion experience that is more complex.
Today its not about how good are the ears of the COM SONAR personnel rather how big is the sonar signature sound assessment library of the on board SONAR COMPUTER system for modern ships and submarines
Those were simple days!
It was never a state secret that Pakistan matured Raad after it got its hands on the almost brand new Tomahwak Cruise missile fired by the Clinton Administration on OBL camp in Afghanistan. The whole world knows it so NS or anyone saying it now is purely redundant. Worry about the Army officers...

Indians buying Embrarer Commercial Aircraft Division (if it matures) has no bearing on PN program simply because PN is not buying the Embrarer 1000 Lineage from Embraer itself. Commercial Aircrafts have ample ground support available worldwide without dependency on the manufacturer. Indian Tata...
defence.pk is a semi Pak military financed albeit a compromised forum. Those in the ‘real’ know never post information that is mission critical or highly classified. This forum is swamped by both foreign and local ‘I’s. Foreign I’s scope for leads and general information whilst local I’s try to...
That is the real PROBLEM! Instead of formal planning & investing into making ONE tank for Pakistan at HIT, Pakistan Army is always filling 'operational gaps' by buying T-80UD and VT-4 types tanks
I am glad Pakistan Army has gotten another new toy but I have seen this jubilation and verve every time a new tank comes in the Armored Corps. I remember when T-80UD was inducted, I remember when Al Khalid was inducted and now VT4. While it may give some temporary excitement today but in the...
